  • I don’t like baby showers

    I gave baby showers zero stars recently on the Sammy J Snack Pack.

    I didn’t like eating pureed apple baby food for a game – and now I’ve said it on the radio, no-one’s ever likely to ask me to do it again.

    Good!

    It was on the radio too. Listen here.

    Earlier this year I wrapped up my contract with Tinder Australia as Dating Commentator.

    Here’s an interview for you on dating, fresh breath and The Ick.

  • Comments at BDOM are turned off when I can’t moderate. It’s partly to keep things pleasant and with no abuse; but also so I meet my obligations legally as a Facebook admin and avoid people publishing dodgy comments.

    If you see a notice saying, “Bad Dates Of Melbourne allows profiles and Pages that it follows to comment on this post” – it essentially means I am the only one who can comment. Everyone else is unable to contribute a.k.a. there’s no group of people with special privileges and you haven’t been blocked or limited.

    When you get this notice, the comments you see will have been made while I was able to watch the Page; they too are no longer able to comment if you see this note up.

    Generally, the Facebook threads are open for a few hours and then closed. You can turn on Favourites in Facebook to make sure you don’t miss a post. Here are some instructions.
