Picture it: there you are in a bus with 35 of your new retiree/empty-nester/young parent friends, motoring around the major sights of Europe, being cultural by day and getting boozy by night, going from the Uffizi to the Red Garter, the Piazza San Marco to Camping Fusina, the Jungfrau to Camping Jungfrau. You’ll know immediately if you qualify to go on a tour like this. You’re going to need to have (or have had) a Hotmail address.

The ultimate cringeworthy one-hit wonder, the guy who rhymed “rock a mic like a vandal” with “wax a chump like a candle” while also ripping off Queen and David Bowie’s Under Pressure, is still being paid to perform live.

I once interviewed @benleemusic at a fancy hotel in Brisbane and he jumped on the grand piano and played “Kickstart My Heart” by Mötley Crüe. Proper legend.
I once interviewed Ben Lee face to face for street press and we ended up in the Courier Mail gossip pages as burgeoning gay lovers as he threw his leg over the bench to face me. 🤷🏻♂️
Played futsal last night and saw multiple groups of men standing around talking about women’s football, some even crowded around mobile phones watching the game. There’s a monumental shift taking place before our eyes right now #Matildas
This is a great point I hadn’t even considered. How much does a modern fine-dining restaurant actually say about a destination? Have a look at the 50 Best entrants from around the world, and the plates all look the same
100% feeling this piece from @bengroundwater. Fine-dining was once synonymous with travel, but it's starting to become antithetical to it, as the focus of fine dining restaurants becomes more about the chef and less about the place. https://t.co/gJL2rxsCOb
