3 Explosive Revelations in Prince Harry’s New Book

Literally no one is talking about these shocking secrets. Wait, this cover looks a bit weird. — I don’t know what things are like for non-UK residents, but here you can’t go three minutes without seeing a headline about a certain ginger-bearded royal. For the unaware, Prince Harry has just released a book detailing his struggles, such as his multi-million dollar mansion getting a bit drafty in…

5-Year-Old Me Was an Idiot

Revisiting my old school notebook — I’d like to say that I was always destined to be a successful — or at least competent — writer. Flicking through my old school notebook, however, has forced me to reconsider. Child prodigy, I was not… Lord knows why my mother decided to keep these fevered scribblings of a…

The Wisest Things Someone’s Snotty Child Almost Certainly Said

You must be so proud, parent posting on Facebook — If you’ve ever been online — and there’s a good chance you have, if you’re reading this — you’ve probably read many inspirational quotes uttered by friends’, colleagues’, or even complete strangers’ crotch spawn. “That’s so true, although it sounds a little advanced for a two-year-old”, you might think, as…

My Best Bird Photographs — Aussie Animal Edition

The lowdown on my doings down under — It’s been a while since I posted here. I could make a lame excuse, but my audience (both of you) deserve the truth — which is that I was washing my hair. For a few months. With that out of the way, I thought I’d share some of what I’ve…

If Shark Week Writers Did Obituaries

His only crime? Looking a bit like a seal — Loving father. Cherished husband. Just another meal for a Pacific apex predator. Jimmy Sprockett, 45, passed away from natural causes on May 12, 2022, after a large female great white shark bit him in half. After all, what could be more natural than this finely-tuned killing machine doing what it…

We Respectfully Reject Your Memoir Because You’re Boring as Shit

A literary agent has had enough — Dear Mr. Lumpkin, Thank you so much for sending us your memoir: Roll Up, Roll Up: Confessions of a Carpet Store Manager in Sleaford. First of all, I would like to say that we’re flattered you asked us to represent you. I would like to say that, but I’m not…

The Main Reason Will Smith Shouldn’t Have Slapped Chris Rock

He must have known this would happen — Unless you’ve been trapped in a wombat burrow for the last few days, you’ve probably heard about what went down at the 2022 Oscars or — as I like to call it — The Pursuit of Slappyness. Now, I’m not one to weigh in on the morality of the incident…

The Marsupial That Sexes Itself to Death

Australia, why you so crazy? — Antechinus may sound like a tragic hero of Greek mythology, but it’s actually the name of a small Australian marsupial, a little like a cross between a mouse and a shrew. In a way, I suppose it is a tragic hero of its own tale. You see, the male Antechinus…

My 5 Best Wildlife Photographs — Part 2

The sequel no one asked for — These days, I find myself enjoying photography a lot more, and enjoying writing a lot less. But photography doesn’t pay the bills, unless the bills amount to $10 or so a month, so I’d better get back to writing here, which also doesn’t pay the bills. Some of you enjoyed…

On the Prowl for Barn Owls

A frustrating few weeks led to one of my best wildlife experiences — Barn owls have always been one of my favourite birds. Some say they’re evil omens; some say their face looks like an apple cut in half. I only agree with one of these groups. Whether demonic spirit or fruit impersonator, their ghostly silhouette gliding low over the grass at dusk…
