This ‘Ask Trev’ question comes in from Michael in Melbourne. ‘You’re a busy man. How do you make that work without either having a clone to help you out or somehow create a 36 hour day?’. Well Michael it’s true, I am a very busy man. Between this blog, my radio show, working full time, performing househusband duties, managing my giant Transformer … Continue reading Ask Trev: How does Big Busy Trev manage to get everything done?
As the Earthrise portion of the War for Cybertron toy trilogy wraps up in preparation for the Kingdom line, people are still receiving exclusives that have been ordered and delayed due to the Covid Crisis.

During the summer bushfires we lost power to our home for several days and as such lost everything in our fridges – including my beautiful range of hot sauces. Sniff… dark days indeed. It’s over half a year later and I’m still slowly building a small collection back up. As such, when I saw some … Continue reading Review: SHIT THE BED Aussie Hot Sauce
Well it’s been a bit over a year since I did a Househusband blog post and with good reason, I got forcibly retired from my position. Yes with both the children now school age and a second income being desirable, I once again full-time entered the workforce.

I had fantastic Mexican when living … Continue reading Meat Review: Pepino’s Mexican Restaurant in Rylstone

From the robots: zero characterization and dialogue, overly-complex bodies and fight scenes one has no hope of following. Throw in a few convoluted plots and some smutty humour and badda-bing badda-boom, another TF … Continue reading Movie Review – Bumblebee
Scalpers – the bane of collectors everywhere. Nasty little parasites who eagerly buy up all the figures they can and then flog them for twice the price. Evil pricks without an empathy or remorse. No, I don’t like scalpers – no sir! Now I want to make a distinction here. I don’t consider scalpers people … Continue reading Scalpers: A-Holes of the Collectors World
Dear Big Trev, No vets in Melbourne know anything about hens. Except for one who is two hours away and deals with prize winning pedigrees and expects you will want to spend lots of money doing anything you can to save a crook chook.
