Heckler on Traffic
Heckler
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.
Heckler
Hold the phone, I'm practising the piano
Heckler THINKING of ways to fit everything into my busy life, I have come up with a practical way to save time: I practise the piano as I drive to work. That's correct.
Heckler
Boy, let's get rid of drop-off delirium
Heckler RAILWAY stations are getting busier. It seems that as the cost of running a car keeps increasing, more people are using public transport. This can only be a good thing.
Heckler
Shop rides have parents seeing red
Heckler My blood boils when I see the Wiggles' Big Red Car or Bob the Builder's tractor.
Heckler
Absence of street names ranks lower than lumbago
Heckler Sign, sign, everywhere a sign - except when you need one!
Heckler
No decent reason to rail against the machine
Heckler I'M UPSET. No, actually, I'm very angry. How come people who don't live in the area and never use it, can tell me my chosen mode of transport is useless and proceed to take it away from me? Yes, I'm...
Heckler
The great Valentine's Day ripoff
Heckler VALENTINE'S DAY is upon us and I know many of you look forward to the deep joy it may bring you. But spare a thought for those of my generation.
Heckler
A bit of a blue over the colour red
Heckler THOSE of you with teenagers will know the meaning of omniscience. A wise man once said that when he was a child he thought his parents knew everything, on becoming a teenager he realised they knew...
Heckler
Shopper's ill-timed joke fell flat
Heckler ''SHUT up, kid.'' Who would have thought those three little words could have such an effect on my day?
Heckler
Shopping at the maul
Heckler SYDNEY'S CBD is a pedestrian nightmare of dawdlers, strollers and, as our American friends say, plain old jaywalkers.
Heckler
The gift that keeps getting my goat
Heckler At the bottom of the Heckler column it states ''Readers are invited to send 450 words on what makes their blood boil.'' My problem is that so many things make my blood boil.
Heckler
A long wait for justice to be served
Heckler I had cause, just recently, to be in a criminal court of law for the first time to support a friend.
Heckler
It's always jam today
Heckler IN THE 1993 comedy Groundhog Day, Bill Murray wakes every morning to find his radio playing the same old tune. I know how he feels.
Heckler
Principled in a pinch
Heckler I GOT into trouble on the weekend. The family headed for one of the many shopping centres around Sydney that have about half the parking spaces needed for smooth operation.
Heckler
Putting us in the shade
Heckler IT'S winter and it's raining; the sun, slow to rise, is setting faster than a NSW politician's career.
Heckler
Ticking of the cloak
Heckler I AM 60-plus years of age and have become invisible. Twice recently I have had Harry Potter invisibility cloak moments.
Heckler
We'll all be a lot safer if cars are not
Heckler HAVING been almost run over twice in the last week, I have had an epiphany. Modern vehicles are just too damn safe.
Heckler
Elephant baby joy takes a wrong turn
Heckler ON THE day when Sydney softened a little with news of the miracle elephant birth at Taronga Zoo, I discovered the tough, nasty side of the city was still lurking about in abundance.
Heckler
Patience may be a virtue, but waiting is so grating
Heckler Liar, I thought, listening to the phone call in which he said he would be there in 10 minutes. He was supposed to be there when his mobile rang. No call to warn of his tardiness.
