Blog

The FAT Website has had over a dozen bloggers writing about their lives around the world for over a decade. Topics cover everything from food, music, sports, travel and general musings on the minutiae of everyday life.

Nature or Nurture?

Two weeks ago I arrived back from my travels after a month-and-a-half away. Upon knocking at my own front door I was to be greeted by one of my house mates who looked yellow.

I am going to win the lottery

The blessing of having a few days off means that you are at liberty to catch up on all the things that you should have done at some earlier point. Another blessing is of course, once all your chores are done, you are free to do precious little with your time.. Thankfully for me this has happened to coincide with ...

The FAT Website Show – The Vodcast: Part One

While Mike and Matt were in Brisbane we had a go at recording a video podcast, or a ‘vodcast’.  Unfortunately, it didn’t really work.  We had six people, two video cameras (one which ran out of memory half way through recording), five regular cameras and no organisation for what we were going to talking about.  It took a little while ...

Everyone is getting married and having kids

I was very pleased to hear a couple of days ago that Rod and Annie got engaged.  That guy sure took his sweet time about it.  They’ve been together a decade now!  I hear the wedding is in Brunei so, invites permitting, it sounds like it could be quite a nice opportunity for a Brunei Reunion…in Brunei.

Rants, Raves and other thought processes.

First up, a big congratulations to Edo on his recent nuptials and commiserations on the job front. These things happen my man and just look at it as another bend in the long road of life. Or something else you might find on a Hallmark card. Okay, first up, I didn’t get to do my weekly nostalgia idea because a ...
