http://www.thepunch.com.au/author-bios/sadhbh-warren/ Sadhbh Warren is an Irish woman who moved to Australia in 2006, on the grounds that it’s sunny, has great food and the pubs open later. Her name is easier to say than spell - it’s pronounced Sive (like five). Having variously worked as an executive assistant, travelling carnie and one of Santa’s Elves, she finds the best thing about being a freelance travel and humour writer is being able to justify going on holiday as travelling for work and surfing the web as research. She blogs about pop culture, travel and being an accidental mobile disaster area at http://sadhbh.blogspot.com en Copyright 2012 The Punch penberthyd@newsltd.com.au penberthyd@newsltd.com.au Sat, 26 May 2012 20:00:40 +0000 Sat, 26 May 2012 20:00:40 +0000 Politics, opinion, world news, sports news, latest news, views, Barack Obama, Kevin Rudd, Julia Gillard, Nathan Rees, Malcolm Turnbull, Peter Garrett, Barnaby Joyce, Australian, federal politics, opinion polls, election, The Punch, thepunch, punch ExpressionEngine 1.6.7 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss 15 http://www.thepunch.com.au/images/punch-logo-rss.png http://www.thepunch.com.au/ 144 70 Politics, political opinion, world news, sports news and the latest news and views updated live, daily on The Punch - Australia's best conversation.

Ben Groundwater has tips from Richard I’Anson, professional photographer and author of Lonely Planet’s Guide to Travel Photography, on how to take the perfect pic. Except he’s forgotten the best tip on taking travel photos. Don’t. Put the camera down and go do something. As Ben says, many travellers fancy themselves as photographers and “like to take the odd snap to show off to their friends back home”. feedback@thepunch.com.au (Sadhbh Warren) Article http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/those-who-can-do-those-who-cant-take-photos/#comments http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/those-who-can-do-those-who-cant-take-photos/#item2515 Mon, 01 Mar 2010 19:40:04 +0000 Sadhbh Warren | Author bios | The Punch http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/fat-tax/ Think you’re a normal weight? So did I, until I got stuck in lift at 2am. A big group of us piled in and it promptly broke. After the shock of screaming to a halt between floors, we were indignant. The lift said it could hold 12 people. There were only 11 of us. feedback@thepunch.com.au (Sadhbh Warren) Article http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/fat-tax/#comments http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/fat-tax/#item2282 Mon, 01 Feb 2010 19:30:12 +0000 Sadhbh Warren | Author bios | The Punch http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/if-it-gets-me-where-im-going-bring-on-the-x-ray-scanner/ Having survived the recession, swine-flu and my affair with Tiger Woods, it chills me to find out there’s a new threat - airport scanners. Now, I’m used to scanners. Used to queuing for ages behind people who empty their pockets only when they get to the scanning belt. Used to my (completely non-metallic) shoes setting off the alarms. I’m used to getting through and then being stopped for an explosives scan because I just love being scanned that much. But these new scanners, recent coverage suggests, are different. A perversion of the metal scanner I know and love. These scanners emit x-rays that pass through my clothes and then flash up a monochromatic image of me, denuded of clothes and hair, for security officials to leer and peer at my bits. feedback@thepunch.com.au (Sadhbh Warren) Article http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/if-it-gets-me-where-im-going-bring-on-the-x-ray-scanner/#comments http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/if-it-gets-me-where-im-going-bring-on-the-x-ray-scanner/#item2135 Mon, 11 Jan 2010 19:55:34 +0000 Sadhbh Warren | Author bios | The Punch
