This 80's band never toured to Adelaide. But Sales has compensated by talking about not one, not two, but THREE Wham! shows. As Crabb lapses in and out of consciousness, she manages to reminisce about Sinead O'Connor, and farewell her beautiful sister in law Anisa, friend of the show, who benefited in her last days from the palliative care team who are the joint charity partners of this live event. Local writers Robert Skinner and Walter Marsh feature, as well as Sales' new book which is a CRACKER. So much Chatter love in the room. You people really are the best. (0.34) Wham!

Many guests come to the centre due to domestic and family violence, and it provides a safe haven for decision-making and the opportunity to connect with other agencies. Accommodating pets at the centre is a crucial part of a woman's decision to leave an unsafe home, as often the fear of leaving a pet that could also be in harm's way will prevent them from taking that step. In almost 6 years of operation the Vinnies Women's Crisis Centre has accommodated more than 5,500 women, children and pets. More recently, with the rental crisis and shortage of affordable accommodation, guests are staying much longer as there is simply nowhere else for them to go. As part of Vinnies' work more broadly, they have been working with the sector to advocate for fairer rent laws and greater investment in social and affordable housing. With the funds generously donated by Chatters at the last live event in Adelaide, children staying at the centre have been able to participate in the Ready Steady Go sports program during school holidays. For safety reasons, some children are unable to leave the centre, so the Ready Steady Go activities provide a much-needed release. The Vinnies team is grateful for the support of Chat 10 Looks 3.

In today's episode, from one of Australia's most wryly funny writers comes an original and utterly hilarious memoir of reaching for the stars while lying in a ditch. Robert Skinner arrives in Melbourne, searching for a richer life. Things begin badly and then, surprisingly, get slightly worse. Pretty soon he's sleeping rough and trying to run a literary magazine out of a dog park. His quest for meaning keeps being thwarted, by endless jobs, beagles, house parties, ill-advised love affairs, camel trips and bureaucratic entanglements. Sometimes a book catches the spirit of the times, and Skinner's book I'd Rather Not is about work, escape and that something more we all need.

Most people know that a marathon is 26.2 miles long. Successful runners also know that it's a mistake to focus solely on that distance. Smart leaders can benefit from similar thinking. Whatever marathon we are running with our teams, to get to that distant goal, it's not the finish line we should focus on, it's the 18th mile. Here's why. Notes and Resources: Prefer to read?

fakebook fiends, what good are they? Hey friend.. What I'm talking about are your fakebook friends (fiends). The ones that are like throwing wood on a fire. People who do not know any better than to hate everything. For example. [I'd Rather Not;] I'm scrolling my feed this morning and a musician passed away. The comment thread is what I'm talking about. One guy chimes in “F' 2020 already!” And another person said,”Why him?!?” You know the answer. Live fast, live hard, probably die young! He as 53 btw. Not only the commentary of rock stars that pass too soon. But just about anything. Everything. You try to be polite and ignore them. But you are tempted. You need to channel that into something worth your time. I finally had enough with fackebook and all that is not. Because it's really not a place to meet people cool. The only people you meet are those you avoided in high school! LOL! [Illustrated above already;] It's more like the halls of high school or your college dorm. Places where people are fully allowed to whine about literally nothing. I still have a fackebook account. I still have instacram. But I'm no longer counting on them to bring me the things the goo roos promise. You know.. Free traffic. You can monetize your friends (fiends). You can sell to them. Can you? Or is that just a pipe dream. Let's discuss even more. What about the internet of the future. Will fackbook be there? Maybe .. There is only one thing that will be there. It's been there since the dawn. The dawn of the internet. It's not going anywhere and.. You master it, you have everything you'll ever need. What about fackbook? You can scroll it like I do now. Watch as idiots fight in threads about nothing where they have nothing to add. Make bold stupid statements and yet.. Never master the one thing that will make you tons of green; Peace out!

Oscar tries to put down one of the best movies of the 90’s, so Owen brings in I’d Rather Not’s John to help hit ’em high and hit ’em low. And apparently there’s also some strong Harry Potter opinions.
