Oh Hell No...

TikTok has discovered my local (literally local... about a kilometre's walk away... maybe not even that) inner-Sydney-Harbour beach... & while I don't go to the beach itself very often these days, it's always been nice to go on the headland bushwalk that goes past it, or drive on the roads near it without traffic hassles... basically enjoying the sleepy, tranquil atmosphere of the place

But no more - at least for now The bastards who have 'discovered it' describe it as a "hidden gem". Not now, it isn't - this treacherous article even describes how to get there by car, or on foot... Bastards!!

The good thing, I suppose, is that your average TikTokker's attention span is about as long as one of the videos, so I'm confident that by next Spring/Summer, they'll have found somewhere else to take their moving selfies

1. What’s the last thing you got in the mail?
Dear god... I can't really remember the last real thing I got in the mail, other than the occasional anachronistic bill. Actually I can - it was a Christmas card from an old, anachronistic friend!!

2. What’s the last thing you sent in the mail?
I returned, with extreme prejudice, 2 faulty Foxtel boxes... which they later tried to charge me for not receiving. Say what you like about snail mail - nothing beats a tangible receipt, printed on real paper!!!

3. How many unread emails are in your inbox right now?
Probably about 40 in the account I rarely use these days, as it's so old ALL the spambots know its address. In my current accounts - maybe a couple - I check both at least twice a day...

4. What is your most recent text message about?
Trying to contact a client whose mobile phone was"not accepting inbound calls at this time". Convenient how people always go dark when they're supposed to pay me money

5. Do you have a favorite postage stamp design?
In the absence of any of my favourite guitar players appearing on stamps - Elton John will do quite nicely...
