May 2016 Thumbs Up, Thumbs Down

Travel in style

Change – For the best part of eleven years we’ve been throwing celebrity types on The Beast cover. Not this month. Enjoy the holiday.

Motorhomes – We can see why the Yanks love these big thumping hotel rooms on wheels. There really is no better way to travel.

Skyscanner – If you’re looking to book flights, look no further. We’re a bit late to the party here, but how good is the Skyscanner app?!

Mud Runs – We always thought Tough Mudder/Spartan type races were a massive wank. We were wrong. Fun, fun and more muddy fun.

Antihistamines – These wonderful drugs make pulling the winter wardrobe out of storage a bit more bearable for allergy sufferers like us.

Thumbs Down

The Bronte Brollies – We don’t mind the idea in theory (shade is good), but $22K for umbrellas that can’t be opened is an absolute joke.

Slow Starts – The Roosters lost their first five games of the NRL season, all but ruining their chances of making the top eight come season’s end.

Centennial Park Slow Coaches – The speed limit is already a super slow 30km/h, but drivers persist in going even slower. Frustrating!

Sex Headaches – Just when you’re about to get to the good bit – BOOM – a splitting headache comes from nowhere and ruins everything.

Rat Infestations – Ever had rats take up residence in your roof space then proceed to bust through the ceiling of your lounge room?
