Groin's Grab: Customer Service - I salute you.
http://shtinetime.blogspot.com/2007/03/customer-service-i-salute-you.html
The evolutionary endpoint of all blogs. Wednesday, March 14, 2007. Customer Service - I salute you. ShtineTime officially has a nemesis. Nemeses, actually. Three of them. All good things happen in threes. Three blind mice, Three wise men, Three-some to quote De La Soul, 3 is a magic number. Do you know what nemesis means? Nemesis A righteous infliction of retribution manifested by an appropriate agent. Personified in this case by an 'orrible c*nt. me. Virgin Blue (by Shtine Time). When I caused a spill.

Groin's Grab: December 2004
http://shtinetime.blogspot.com/2004_12_01_archive.html
The evolutionary endpoint of all blogs. Wednesday, December 29, 2004. Asia - open today only. Firstly, let me assure anyone who is concerned about my whereabouts (all 2 of you) that I am in Cambodia and going about altering my travel plans to Ko Phi Phi island, which is obviously no longer a travel destination for the immediate future. I wonder how well a business would do in Sydney, if it was only open TODAY. You could call it "Only open TODAY! And thus beginneth my Asian travels. And the chilli is amaz...

Groin's Grab: November 2004
http://shtinetime.blogspot.com/2004_11_01_archive.html
The evolutionary endpoint of all blogs. Monday, November 22, 2004. How much do our trains suck? I was standing on a train platform the other day. I do a lot of that, these days. I probably spend more time on train platforms than on the train itself, which isn’t that hard, I guess, since I only travel two stops and my average waiting time is about ten minutes. Don’t be. This is just the station staff trying to keep themselves entertained because the trains never arrive. Ever since litter was classified as...

Groin's Grab: January 2005
http://shtinetime.blogspot.com/2005_01_01_archive.html
The evolutionary endpoint of all blogs. Monday, January 17, 2005. What would you like to shoot today, sir? Would you trust a plane that looked like this. I mean, surely the only reason you would paint a plane this colour is to make it easier to search for. And what else are mates for, other than parting advice of, "If the propellors stop, remember when you climb out onto the wing to rotate them clockwise.". So, what exactly am I saying goodbye to? Speaking of motorcycles, once again words cannot do justi...

Groin's Grab: April 2004
http://shtinetime.blogspot.com/2004_04_01_archive.html
The evolutionary endpoint of all blogs. Friday, April 02, 2004. No-one will sit next to me. Maybe it’s this new brand of deodorant that I’ve started using. Is something caught in between my teeth? Is there something about the way I look that is objectionable? Most people head straight for the 3-seaters, no doubt hoping the empty seat beside them will somehow get overlooked in the mob rush. My strategy has always been far simpler I sit in the 2-seaters, because I know that even on a delayed, overcrowd...

Groin's Grab: March 2005
http://shtinetime.blogspot.com/2005_03_01_archive.html
The evolutionary endpoint of all blogs. Thursday, March 31, 2005. State Sponsored Sexual Assault. A good friend of mine who studies psychology heralded an interesting fact the other day. Supposedly, men are far more likely than women to avoid a visit to the doctor for a test or health check because they would rather not know that something is wrong with them. At this point, I interrupted him with a memory that had clearly been repressed for a very long time. Childhood was carefree. School involved a ...

Groin's Grab: May 2003
http://shtinetime.blogspot.com/2003_05_01_archive.html
The evolutionary endpoint of all blogs. Friday, May 30, 2003. Abuse me all you like, I've got your number. Abuse David Grunstein loves it, can't get enough of it. And tonight might be your turn. It's 7.30pm. You've had a long hard day at work. That meeting scheduled for 20 minutes at the end of the day lasted two hours. You didn't have lunch and breakfast was a $3 lukewarm coffee that you queued up for five minutes to buy. If you think you're irritated by my calls, remember that I'm doing it for the next...

Groin's Grab: Why bring flags when you can just sell drugs - Big Day Out 07 Part 2
http://shtinetime.blogspot.com/2007/04/why-bring-flags-when-you-can-just-sell.html
The evolutionary endpoint of all blogs. Wednesday, April 04, 2007. Why bring flags when you can just sell drugs - Big Day Out 07 Part 2. Lily Allen Boiler Room 3:00pm. I’m getting nowhere and must stop rambling at some point if I’m to maintain any hope of finishing this piece of writing. Next time I forget what I was trying to say, can someone please stop me from breaking off into a tangent? The Boiler Room is a massive cavern and the stage seems miles away. As I drive through the crowds, I feel like...

Groin's Grab: My Catalan Marriage Proposal
http://shtinetime.blogspot.com/2008/05/my-catalan-marriage-proposal.html
The evolutionary endpoint of all blogs. Sunday, August 12, 2007. My Catalan Marriage Proposal. Last night was the most romantic night of my life. Even if it was a little unorthodox. How you ask? Well, let's just say that most people get down on one knee to propose. Pete was down on both. I then realised it was true love . when you've shared this experience with someone, nothing else can ever tear you apart. Let me explain. And of course, the pain didn t go away, in fact, it just got worse. Finally, I...

Groin's Grab: Melbourne Part 1
http://shtinetime.blogspot.com/2007/03/melbourne-part-1.html
The evolutionary endpoint of all blogs. Wednesday, March 07, 2007. Broadly speaking, everything you do in life can be brought back what you did, what was good about it, what was bad about it and what you would have done differently. My work calls these ABCDs - Achievements, Benefits, Concerns, Do-Nexts. It's a joyless way of summarising your life into bullet points and categorising. Have communicated with the Mumbai and Bangalore teams who I will be working with over the next 5 weeks. Communicated is...
