The Club Permit Administrator
A scheme designed to support car club members with discounted registration for historic cars doesn't come with a few overheads especially if you are the guy in the club who administers the scheme.
The Club Permit scheme provides a discount on registration of up to 80%, allowing club members to drive...

Self doubt
It is not surprising in these difficult times for us to experience some periods of self-doubt. Uncertainty and fear about the present and the future can impact our confidence and ability to get the essential things done.

Bubbly water
Melbourne has some of the world's best drinking water, most of which is sourced from forested, protected catchments. Between the catchment reservoirs and the tap, there is some filtration and fluoridation, resulting in fresh, clean drinking water. The best you can drink.

I'm a TV viewer, let me out of here.
Now that the summer sport is disappearing from our TVs, and the TV rating period is about to start, new episodes of the country's favourite reality shows are rolling out. I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here, Married at First Sight, Dancing with the Stars, Masterchef, and many more...
Media freeze
From midnight, Victoria will go into a five-day, stage four lockdown, in an attempt to control a coronavirus outbreak from hotel quarantine.

Leadership
For the past two years, I have been fighting what I consider the good fight at work, brought in as an agent for change where change was desperately needed. And the good fight has produced some great results, including a team of highly functioning professionals, who deliver on what they...
You cook, I'll wash up
We have a rule in our household, whoever cooks dinner, doesn't have to do the dishes. I am sure this the practice in many families, but as I rarely cook, then I have become the chief dishwasher in our house.
Sometimes, the cook leaves an absolute mess for me to clean...

A winter's day in summer
Today was a Zoom-Zoom club drive day. For God's sake, it was the middle of summer, but it felt like the middle of winter on today's drive. This type of weather is not uncommon for summer in Melbourne. The temperature never got above 15 degrees Celcius and the drizzly rain...
