RANDOM Q & A: What makes you think of The Goodies? For me it's string, people named Kenneth, hearing A Walk in the Black Forest, and black puddings. Leave a comment :)

Now, any chance I can get I'll mention Brad Pitt, so Brad, if you're reading, this blog post is for you since you have a keen interest in architecture. Just put whichever of your seven children you're holding, down in front of the TV to watch re-runs of the Brangy Bunch for two minutes and read on ...
When you drive through a city, its architecture can speak a thousand words, but you rarely think of the person behind the building. So it was quite interesting to speak with Michael Rayner for the new issue of Bmag (Brisbane Magazine), one of Australia's top architects who has designed some of Brisbane City's iconic buildings and bridges, and other structures throughout the world.

Plus he has just designed his own house on the banks of the Brisbane River with an indoor swimming pool in the middle of the house, joking he planned it that way to give his kids space from their parents as they grew older. That kinda beats a bike for Christmas doesn't it!
You'd need an Olympic size pool though, wouldn't you Brad, to fit the whole family, the nannies, the chef, personal trainer, chauffeur, lawyer, agent and security guards in all at once?
Plus your Oceans Umpteenth mate is on the cover, so click HERE & go to pages 14-15.
There's also a Home/Living story in this issue of Bmag on a new home at Springfield Lakes which the owner told me was so luxurious, he can't bear the thought of going on holiday anywhere to lower his standard of living! He laughed, but I think he was only half joking. Click HERE & go to pages 42-43.

And want to say "g'day" to new readers who've just joined me from Canada, the United States, France, Germany and the UK, and via a translator, 'gidday' to the New Zealanders.
