No fear, I'll just clear the deck, by gum
Heckler LAST year, we replaced the old deck on our steep bush block in the lower north shore. There are numerous angophora (Sydney red gum) on the block below us, two of which have branches that overhang our...

Much to be learnt from nicer LA drivers
Heckler HAVING just spent a month-long holiday in California, it is my sad duty to inform the good citizens of Sydney that there is one area in which our American cousins leave us for dead.

Retail of woe: maybe it serves you right
Heckler READ the business pages. Watch the news. Listen to the radio. It's all about whiney, moaning retailers.
Heckler
Infinite uses, but still just useless
Heckler Like most of you, I have a collection of computer and printer bits such as cables, cable ties, adaptors and instructional DVDs, stored in a box, in case they're ever needed again.
Heckler
It's a jungle in men's gym change room
Heckler RECENTLY I've conceded the need to go to the gym. I know it's meant to be good for me but every visit has become a traumatic experience, one I anticipate with dread.
Heckler
Come on bra makers, give us a lift
Heckler BECAUSE of my Catholic boarding school upbringing, I was too embarrassed to take myself and my ''big boobs'' into an underwear department to be fitted with comfortable bras.

Boardroom diversion and division
Heckler ''ARE you looking at me?'' she asked, with the start of a frown.
Heckler
Life's a pain in the neck
Heckler ALTHOUGH tall, I am accustomed to moving through the day without drawing attention to myself. My usual interaction with strangers is to gladly reach for items on the higher shelves of supermarkets or...

MasterChef monsters
Heckler Junior MasterChef is taking all the fun out of cooking with my daughters. Making fairy bread doesn't cut it any more. They want serious training for future auditions.
Heckler
Oh Jacqu, who are you?
Heckler I HAVE a new computer. Or, rather, had a new computer. Brand spanking. That didn't stop it from self-destructing very early in our relationship. So off to the land of warranty-covered repairs it went.

The market is definitely overheated
Heckler HERE in Australia, in the southern hemisphere, it is officially winter. It is therefore cold, and getting colder by the day.
Heckler
Money talks, no kidding
Heckler IF POLITICS is showbusiness for ugly people, and every businessman is a failed rock star, my university degree is certainly preparing me for a life of disappointing mediocrity.
We're wary of the hairy
Heckler What's with Aussie stereotypes of blokes with long hair? Is it a throwback to our convict days? Whatever the reasons, I'm fed up.
Heckler
Sidelined by a phone chat
Heckler CUSTOMER service is something in which I expect close to absolute perfection. And funnily enough in the past week or so I have had two examples of extremely good and extremely poor customer service.
Heckler
Steamed up but cool
Heckler THANK you, Kevin Rudd, for the free roof insulation. Thank you, too, for sending such professional and well-equipped contractors to do the installation.
Heckler
My darling, that's not really decaf
Heckler SHHHHH, I am leaning forward to whisper my secret to you.This is a true story. It is a story of how I am deceiving my wife.
Heckler
Wee incident at the shops
Heckler I SHOULD never have listened to the siren call of the Cheap Nappy. I blame a lightning strike of skin-flintism which temporarily dazzled me out of the wisdom learnt from three children and eight...
