You know that moment when you’re just on the precipice of falling asleep, when you’re so close you can almost taste it, and then suddenly, with your eyes snapping open in anger, you’re completely awake? Not only are you awake in that instance, but you’re also so mad that, even in the darkness of your …
If I was going to find Cuthbert and get the magical snapper rack for my patron, I’d have to track down this window salesman first. What a window salesman would want with a snapper rack, I hadn’t the slightest clue. Now, ideally, the trade hadn’t occurred between the salesman and Cuthbert yet. If that was …
Schlock Homes and I, John Whatson, made our way toward the dark room with the red lights, which a mysterious note told me to follow. Where they would lead, I had no idea. Hopefully, however, they would provide a clue about the missing conveyancers we had been tasked with finding. When we entered the room, …
The second event of the first-ever Drain Plumber Games involved a simulated sewer through virtual reality video games. We were transported to a virtual environment where the sewer had to be unblocked, while the crowd watched on from the arena’s giant screen. Given that I had easily won the first event, I had the honour …
I’m a designer and I am extremely passionate about what I do. I own my own business but it’s just me, so obviously I can’t take on too many projects at once. I’m very picky about the projects I choose, because of this. Each project has to be a bigger challenge than the last one, …
I’ve got to get a scoop on tattoos? What’s a guy gotta do to get an easy story in these parts! I guess old Scoop McGee doesn’t do easy. I get the hardest stories, I write the tough stuff, and I stake my reputation on the hottest scoops this side of the Pacific, see! Oh, …
They call it a floating staircase. It’s a thing, they say. It’s an interior design feature, an optical illusion. But still, I can’t shake the disturbing feeling that stairs simply shouldn’t be doing that – hovering in midair, that is. That’s not how I was brought up. I can’t condone stairs that aren’t firmly affixed …
Some people collect art. Others collect designer footwear, and still others tattoos. I collect homes. That’s not something I can just come out and say. Generally speaking, people don’t respond too well to those of us in possession of more properties than they technically need, so I prefer to keep it on the hush. The …
Ah, Tasmania. Land of epic forests, one of Australia’s few native predator species, and… I know there’s more, but I’m not entirely sure of what it is. That’s why I’m cruising around the island in a 4×4 that I picked up for a steal in Hobart last week. At least, I’ll soon be cruising. Right …
Alright, so the holiday to Sydney might be called something of a bust. The room was alright, but very stuffy, the internet was patchy, and the air conditioning virtually nonexistent. Well, the proper stuff was in absentia. I had a portable unit that sounded like a train station. Oh well! I still got to see …
