It’s that time of the month again. New back wall, new poster, new month… This month’s back wall is bought to you by the word “plagiarism” and a Maoist sense of heavy labour.

In case you didn’t know, I buy a lot of lounge suites on TradeMe. I find myself asking strange questions that nobody else would care about: “Does it sit well on it’s end?” “How much does it weigh?” “Can you move it with a sack barrow?” That is what matters to someone who is so [...]
