  • Working on the desk at a powerlifting meet is a busy job. You need to ensure the lifters get their next attempts in before they run out of time, keep the lifters aware of the lifting order and make sure the result from each attempt is entered, and often all three at the same time. 6April 17, 2011

  • St Patrick's Day is a bad night to try and find a quiet coffee in Brisbane's CBD, even if it is to say farewell to a friend over coffee. Fortunately Cafe Mondial on Albert Street looked free from green hats. We were directed to a table by one of the staff, and ordered a pair of long blacks, one with milk on the side, and some wedges.0March 26, 2011

  • Finding a coffee on Park Road is not hard. Finding a good one isn't a problem either. There is always La Dolce Vita, and most of the other cafes are worth trying too. Including a brand new one called Alegria Mediterranean Bistro & Bar, just next to La Dolce.0November 26, 2010

  • GW Privateroom is the first hairdresser I've been to that offers wine as well as tea or coffee. They also do breakfast. It is a neat little place in Festival towers with free parking for customers and one of the coolest two level layouts I have seen. Hannah recommended the place, and it was a great choice.0November 24, 2010

  • They were wearing weskits. All of them. That was the first thing that I noticed at Dandelion and Driftwood. The cafe itself looked like someone's caffeine-fuelled Victorian corner store with enough technology to add a hint of steampunk. Dandelion & Driftwood is located on Gerler Road in Hendra on Brisbane's northside, just near Mario @ the Dining Room. A real coffee geek I know was raving about the place last week, and as he both knows more than me and strongly recommended the place, I had to check it out.0October 23, 2010

  • A few weeks ago I broke my arm. It was a compound fracture of both my ulna and radius and I did it while walking the bar out from the rack at a powerlifting meet. I was setting up for my second squat of the day when I heard two snaps. Those were my bones. At least my first squat attempt of the day had been good.1October 5, 2010
