That Time I Lived In Paddington

This morning I saw The Most Newtown Man Ever.

He was tall and skinny and his hair was in a man-bun. He wore aviator sunglasses even though we were on a train travelling underground. He had a t-shirt advertising Young Henry's beer, He probably had a dodgy tattoo sleeve, but I couldn't see through his cardigan. Oh, and he had a rolled-up yoga mat sticking out of the top of his backpack.

It reminded me of the time I saw The Most Paddington Couple Ever. I then wondered if I could stretch both these profiles into a story, like Humans of New York, but without the pictures and in Sydney.

Then later this morning I read a review for The Bellevue Restaurant, situated in the Bellevue Hotel in Paddington, and decided on something else.

So this is all about that time I lived in Paddington...

Sport and Racism in Australia

I'm going to add my voice to the Adam Goodes "debate". I say "debate" in "inverted commas" because it shouldn't really be a debate.

This shit is racist.

NRL Season Schedule Proposal

An article in Monday's SMH by Brad Walter highlighted an interesting problem the NRL currently has around scheduling - State of Origin is very successful commercially, but it's success is now detracting from the NRL competition that should be the foundation of professional rugby league in Australia.
