We are beyond proud to be QUEENSLANDERs!!!!!!!!
Last night’s State of Origin decider was thrilling – THRILLING we tells ya! Queensland brought their legendary hard on and it was the best game of rugby league we’ve seen in a long, long time. Truly awesome (…which is actually appropriate in this context, Nige.)
We watched the game with Shwe, who (with maroon patches on her wings) is our official team birdie, and settled into a good bottle of red for the duration.
Queensland dominated big time, despite extreme dirty business from New South Wales…
Disgraceful.
On a lighter note, there was plenty of ‘almost biffo’ to keep everyone more than happy…
And absolutely no doubt, from kick-off, that Queensland meant business…
What a fabulous send off for Hodges and what a perfect birthday prezzie for Mal! Thanks for a brilliant game, boys, it was enthralling. We love yooz all.
Best aspects of the night: (1) Gallen’s thuggish bradaggio was utterly deflated and (2) Gus Gould was virtually silent in the commentary box for almost the entire match. A great result for everyone, eh.
With all the bubble and froth* of the Creative Industries rising like a ministerial souffle, we thought we’d best run through our own organisational profile…
Here at the Hideout we have a stellar team of dedicated arts professionals, on the job 24/7 – this being particularly germane in the case of specialist Phantosmia Creative, Sir Galahad Poo…
Security Creatives, Lola and Hazel, cover the perimeter with stylish enthusiasm (augmented by guard-en gnome Ned)…

Intercommunications Creative Shwe Min Tha Mee provides state of the art mutli-lingual services…
Team PoC Creature Comfort Creative, Badger, remains perpetually deep in esoteric contemplation…
…while Megsie (chef de kiln) and Ginger (metal maven) are, it goes without saying, our Creative Creatives…
Studio Bitch rounds up the Gang, as Tool Creative (camera shy, no snap.)
Ars longa, vita brevis.
Prisoners of the Crown is a schadenfreude-free zone.

Ginger’s latest Papillon…
Unfinished – but oh-so-lovely already.
The status quo (so shameful)…
