I have been on a couple of staff retreats in my life. None have usually gone well. For some reason it has only been the most dysfunctional places that want their cranky staff to live in even closer spaces for a day or three. So today I’m presenting my list of the 20 ways to […]

Laugh Link: The Big Bang
This past week, I was doing some house-feeding and cat-sitting while some family were away on holiday. I did resent that they had a holiday, but made up for it by stealing this sauce from their fridge: But sesame sauce doesn’t have anything do with the Big Bang, as far as I recall […]
Fricking Laser Beams: Laugh Link
I am generally a kind & supportive person in all aspects of my life. So when my sister in law needed me to take her to the P&O ship (boat?) Pacific Dawn on the weekend, I obliged. Family and all that, right? This is her first overseas trip. A huge milestone! Naturally we […]
Laugh Link: Opinions
If you publicly state your employer on twitter, it seems that it’s policy to have a disclaimer saying “opinions are my own”. Which always makes me wonder how incredibly lame the employer is. I know, I know. It’s a disclaimer. It’s someone covering their ass. And we all have to do that these […]
How NOT to make breakfast when you’re sick
This is the story of my Saturday morning, which is a perfect guide on how NOT to make breakfast when you’re sick (I have tonsillitis and a cold). Firstly neither of us had done the dishes Friday night (we don’t keep many dishes on purpose, so we have to wash up a lot, […]
LaughLink: The Google AutoComplete Edition
Because when you don’t know what to write about, you can rely on the collective stupidity of the internet to provide you with some fodder. Is a theme park a good first date? Well, maybe. If you vomit, maybe not. Unless vomiting is your best feature. What is a theme park? It’s a place […]
Fun With Random Word Generators: Laugh Link
I can’t say there’s a huge amount of thought behind this post. I saw that I had closed some leaves in my window on the weekend: And I thought I should do a ‘fill in the blank’ thing, using a random word generator. These are leaves coming in through my window. […]
Interviews With Myself Part 2: Laugh Link
Last week I decided to interview myself. At the end, “we” were at a stalemate. This week, the saga continues… Me: So, Queen Slimsy Cowpea, another long weekend has come and gone. Me: Really, is that the only topic you can ask questions on? I mean, of ALL the things to talk […]
Interviews With Myself: Laugh Link
I keep meaning to resurrect my weekly Saturday interview series with other bloggers. Only I keep forgetting to actually email people with questions. So I figured I would just interview myself. Me: Hi Vanessa, we’re so glad to have you here today! Me: Thanks, it’s great to be here! Me: First things […]
Card Game Conspiracy: Laugh Link
As an ultra classy, uber sophisticated household, we spent Saturday night playing Uno. But I kept winning. At first I put this down to my sheer awesomeness. But after a while I remembered I’m not really a person who ends up winning at games. So I dug further. And then […]
