@Zhasper: You like weird sex stuff? Cool. I’ll drop you my phone number…

Actually, I’ve always wondered whether I should post about my, um, more personal personal life. My friend Richard Watts writes quite openly about his weekends of vice in the same blog where he mentions his professional life. But if I’m trying to re-establish a higher-profile media presence, and I think I am, perhaps the serious commentary will have less gravitas if it’s interspersed with tales of debauchery.

After all, look what happened when my friend Justin Walker was standing as The Greens candidate for Prahran in Melbourne and someone discovered his profile on Gaydar. Dirty politics in every sense of the word.

Then again, Alan Jones’ adventures in a London public toilet don’t seem to have done him much harm.

Burnt out sofas are fine, but you can find *them* on any street corner…
