Steve Williams
Steve Williams was born in the shadow of the Big Merino, a rather attractive concrete likeness of a sheep in Goulburn N.S.W. His website is http://www.swillmedia.com/.
He wrote his first satirical piece when he was nine, commenting on the unique playing styles and exotic fashions of his mother’s ladies midweek tennis club.
Steve’s done a few laps of the media block over 25 years, working in print, radio, TV, PR and the music business, but his biggest claim to fame is holding the record
for pushing the highest number of shopping trolleys while working as a part-time “trolley boy” at Coles in 1979.
Steve moved to Singapore in 2005 and contributes words and images including travel stories and columns to international magazines, newspapers and websites.
If nothing else, he’s a versatile bastard.

I'm one of the older ones, so I've certainly seen a few changes in my time. When I started school I learned to write with a nib pen, dipped in an inkwell (no, I'm not kidding). My mother became a dab hand at getting inkstains out of my clothes. Flicking ink at one another in the classroom was an essential… [read more]From: I’d rather have a piece of toast than listen to crap lyrics
