Bruce Brammall, The Australian, 10 April, 2022 My kids are polar opposites in so many ways. One boy, one girl. One barely talks. The other won’t stop. One has my sense of humour, the other my wife’s. American rap versus pop. Saver versus spender. Messy (like bombs going off everywhere) versus clean, tidy and orderly. […]
Bruce Brammall, The West Australian, 14 March, 2022 It’s so thick in the air now, you can almost smell it. You can sense the pain and suffering […]
Bruce Brammall, The West Australian, 28 February, 2022 My knowledge of Russian is limited to a few words I picked up from staff aboard the Aleksandr Pushkin cruise ship in 1989. It was a Contiki holiday – only for those aged 18 to 35. Party. Hard. Stolichnaya vodka featured prominently. The days I remember. The […]
Bruce Brammall, The West Australian, 14 February, 2022 It’s not always the smartest person in the room that wins the game. Often, it’s the person who knows the rules best.

Her thinking was that if you’re not in pain when working out, you’re not working hard enough. (If I’m feeling pain when I’m exercising, it’s more likely […]

Bruce Brammall, The Australian, 2 January, 2022 Some things older generations say make no sense at the time. Their aim might be “words from the wise”, but they come out like jibber jabber. You file some of them in the […]
Bruce Brammall, The Australian, 26 December, 2021 Christmas Day is fun an’ all. But how much better is Boxing Day? Off come the pressures of presents, family and food preparation, while on goes the TV for a cricket and basketball marathon. Out come leftovers you just don’t get at other times of the year, to […]
