Seinfeld
A few talkers for the start of the working week.
1) If you live in Sydney or Brisbane: how great is this weather? If you live in Melbourne or Adelaide: I hope you’ve got the AC on, a bottle of water next to you and a personal servant to handfeed you grapes, because I hear it’s scorching. Suckers.
2) If Seinfeld had been on air in the early eighties, you’d bet the press would’ve been calling Queensland’s state government the Seinfeld administration if this story had came to light a little earlier: The Bjelke-Petersen cabinet spent time discussing whether toilet doors should uniformly swing inwards or outwards, some recently released records show.
Personally, I’m agnostic when it comes to this contentious debate. I just wish somebody would fix the second cubicle door in The Punch’s male bathroom. The lock has been broken for months and the door won’t stay shut! Bah humbug.
3) Please welcome back to The Punch the exceptionally talented Tory Maguire. A longtime newswoman, Tory has rejoined the team after some time off taking care of her young bub.
At this time of year – what with all that tinsel distracting us – it’s easy to lose sight of another important celebration.

"A teacher at Geelong Grammar had criticised her for using words that were too long, which had left her confused and had made her doubt her ability to write essays. She became ''quite distressed'' when her English marks began to fall." I can sympathise.
