Now, you might be wondering if you've seen this word before, or if your mind is trying to figure out if it's an actual word or not. Well, it kinda is, but it kinda isn't, at the same time. So I'm claiming it as a new word (which I "created", like I did when my old mate, Dave coined the word: 'flustrated = flustered + frustrated', before I looked it up just now, & discovered it's already on Merriam Websters site). But I'm pushing this word forward, because I was not satisfied

This is a think-piece (all opinions in this are mine unless tagged otherwise), & something I’ve pondered for some time now. So whilst I’m sitting in the Library trying to figure out which WIP to work on (probably the soap I created at 14 years old, in 2002, that's now in its 75th year*) but for now, I’ll purge this thought before I lose it. With the cancellation of Neighbours (& I loved Annalise hinting at this soap as an area ‘just outside of Sydney that has managed to avoi

This was an answer I wrote on Quora to a question about favourite soaps , so I figured, why not add it on here as well. Preface: this answer does change quite often so as of today's publication date, 22-Feb-2026, this is how it stands. 5. For longevity, & general love - Coronation Street Image Source : I chose the 2010 cast photo as this is the era in which I fully committed to this soap. I do love this one, though it’s currently not my fav, but it’s up there, & one I do kee

How did the 3:30 PM time slot affect the success of soap operas? I can only speak to this as an Australian viewer, and from my recollection, there were only ever two US American soap operas airing around that timeframe — Passions , and The Bold & the Beautiful (fellow Aussies, please correct me if I’m wrong, though I’m speaking from the 2000s onwards). Passions Now, in Australia, Passions aired on Channel 7 at 3pm, so many of us would get home from school and see the bonker

03 February 2026 TL;DR: Around midday on Saturday, 31 January, a small, contained explosion occurred in a vehicle at the Coopers Plains Library car park, injuring its owner - a man in his late 50s -with investigators finding nothing suspicious after more than six hours of testing. Image taken by me on said date. **** Disclaimer : This is my first hand account of what occurred on Saturday, 31 January 2026. This post has been made to: • raise awareness of mental health and how

TL;DR: Bringing Stu Macher back in Scream 7 would be a fundamental betrayal of what the franchise is and has always stood for. & here's why I think this: Stu is not ambiguously dead. Scream (1996) goes out of its way to make his death definitive: · He’s stabbed multiple times to the point he’s profusely bleeding – to which he explicitly states that he thinks he’s dying, · He then continues to fight Sidney — which would tear said wounds open even more. · He

For years, I had a TV song from a 90s cartoon show stuck in my head (& if you've Googled any sort of lyrics trying to find where it came from then you're not alone. & if you're looking for this one in particular, then here it is): “I’m in love with a big pink poodle, He’s my man and he cooks me strudel, Calls me sugar, sweet as candy, He gets very nasty cause he’s my baby, When the night falls, I take him for a walk, He follows my footsteps, Ain’t no need to talk.” Transcript
