The Breakfast Radio Diaries 047: The sea breeze when there's no water around

A long time ago when petrol was affordable and I had hair I could actually style into the shape of something, I lived and worked in beautiful Warnambool where a trip to the foreshore was less than five minutes drive away. And in my single days, I quite enjoyed walking along the foreshore at dusk, even when it was wet and miserable. I had my jacket and my disc man and off I went in my own little world, really bumping into another person on those wooden walkways.  Today when I stepped out of work, I was hit by a cold bust of wind that felt like I was right back there. A punch of frozen air carried far over the sea and magnified in its coldness by the crashing waves.  The problem there is, I live and work in Albury NSW now and we're a good five hours away from the nearest ocean doorstop. Welcome to the polar blast people..

The Breakfast Radio Diaries 046: Hold on while you pass Go and collect $200

I watched a listener of the show win $10,000 playing a giant game of Monopoly and then watched people crawl all over motorcycles while racing around a race track at high speed.  Then I tried to sleep and get ready for another big week on the breakfast show!

Bash for the Border - Round 11 - Late for my own funeral

So there's been a lot on outside my world of fantasy football this week. Work primarily, a trip to Melbourne for medical reasons, more work when I got back, an overheating Subaru (still) and annoying bills that want to get paid. The good news is, I did swap some things around for the Flavorless Flav's this week, I just haven't updated the rest of the world about it until now.  So this (late) week: A former captain is captain again. The injuries have been benched.  And a 10 year old swapped one of my players out on a whim..

The Breakfast Radio Diaries 045: Nice to meet you, again.

Some interviews are a one off. I once interviewed Brad Pitt's personal trainer about his book and he told the tale of working his obliques by swinging a ten pound bar repeatedly into a heavy bag. Then there's someone like Diesel who I've chatted to/interviewed many times, each and everytime just as good as the last. Today fell into that later category because I remember chatting to this bloke years ago about a cancer fund-raiser, after taking on Australia via unicycle. The cycle has been replaced by a big car this time but his passion for what he does is just as strong, if not stronger than it ever was. There's passion for life and then there's Samuel Johnson who just blows it right out of the water.

The Breakfast Radio Diaries 044: How much did you say it was?

The tale of a $20 ham sandwich, a $32 bowl of chicken and sweetcorn soup and a tiny $15 taco..

Nada Fajita Torpedoes - Meet the team!

So a short time ago I revealed that I went looking for bargain priced NFTs and somehow wound up running my own block chain soccer club, having no idea about anything including the game, the team or what the hell I'm doing on the site every time I log in. So what could possibly go wrong here? While we work that out, let's meet the team!

Nada Fajita Tornados - my NFT soccer team

 I went searching for an affordable NFT...and came back with a soccer team? What in the blue hells is going on here?
