Meet my minor nemesis: Grass

So recently I've been sneezing like an out of control shotgun. And whoever came up with the theory that a sneeze is one tenth of an orgasm is obviously an idiot because after 12 in a row I really don't feel really amazing and ready for a deep sleep. Quite the opposite. A recent doctors visit netted me more medication for my mild asthma, some steroids for my gattling-gun like sneeze blasts and a fun blood test to see if I was allergic to anything. I highlight the fun part because I almost passed out after it complete with blurred vision and loss of hearing for a couple of minutes. Glorious. Me in comic form before the nose spray started to work But the tests came back and this morning I returned to the Doc's to find out what's potentially making me drown the world in tsunami like sneezes (well not currently, the steroids seem to be doing a great job.) It turns out that while I'm not allergic to much, my blood has a slight irritation to grass...

Well there goes the Mist...

Just as I was getting into it....for all the wrong reasons.

Transformers: The last Knight. Can we make this the last one, please?

Imagine a shiny new Lamborghini that was completely gutted on the inside with everything taken out and then had an ancient sewerage processing facility installed in its place. This is a very apt description of Transformers: The Last Knight - you're impressed by the box but honestly deep down you know that this film is going to be chock a block full of turds.. Bare with me as we wade through this incredible mess...

Can we talk about Alien Covenant for a second?

Welcome to the future and space, were the fate of a couple of thousand colonists lay in the hands of some completely forgettable idiots. Oh and a guy named after an American state. Strap yourself in, it's a completely forgettable ride as I watch Alien Covenant . Anyone got any good ideas on how we can throw a bag of spanners into this mission?

Operation BBQ ressurection

I've been wanting a weekend project for quite some time since moving to the Gold Coast and finally with a free weekend up my sleeve and the hankering to get messy with a couple of afternoons of DIY, I found a suitable candidate. A 6 burner hooded BBQ that really needed a second lease on life. So...Almigo to the rescue then! Turns out (once again) that it was quite the adventure,

Who is this idiot with the bells on his head? #freebie

My new book is set to be released on Sept 22 and it's fair to say that I'm excited. Stupidly excited. So excited in fact that I want to give you a preview copy of it right now. No tricks, traps or me turning up one day to repossess your Ferrari - just the first third of the book. If you like it, feel free to grab the rest of this latest adventure for the stupidly low price of 99 cents US..

Leon, you've lost us.

Okay I'm not hoighty-toighty enough to demand a red carpet roll out and trumpets to play whenever I walk into a shop (well now that you mention it...) but just for the person I'm dealing with to listen to me. Or anyone really. It's 2017 - is just 30 seconds of your focus too much to ask for?
