By Ben, on September 26th, 2010% Last weeks Q&A, wherein they discussed Euthanasia, was one that I’ve been mulling over since.

By Ben, on September 13th, 2010% On my way to work yesterday I accidentally got onto the wrong train and ended up at North Ryde station.

By Ben, on September 2nd, 2010% In Part 1 of my epic weekend I discussed Saturday, but Sunday was much more involved because we spent the day at the zoo.
I’ll admit I grudgingly dragged myself from bed early on Sunday so that we could get to the zoo when it opened. We’re talking me waking up on Sunday the same . . . → Read More: The Epic Weekend – Part 2
By Ben, on August 29th, 2010% I knew going into last weekend that it would be a busy one. Saturday morning I we were straight off to watch my nephew play soccer in the grand final.

By Ben, on August 12th, 2010% I really love Q & A on the ABC so was surprised to see a special Q & A on last night after Dick Smith’s documentary about resource waste/management and population control.
