  • Rabz’ Radio Show June 2023 – Favourite Songs

    All killer, no filler, Cats. One of the many things I love about music is its effortless ability to transfer you back to a particular time and place, emphatically triggering memories.

    Life took a turn last Monday morning at 3 am. All unheralded I woke with acute pain in my abdomen. Was it wind I thought and tried every position imaginable to rid myself of the morbid affliction. Nothing worked. Felt nauseous. Threw up. Unexpectedly did a number two. Normal enough. No relief followed. Living alone…

  4. Have you tried beer goggles? Apparently they make everyone look attractive. Allegedly, as Knuckles would say.

  5. The inconvenient truth that Coalition voters need to face is that Australia has been poorly served by both major political…
