Smoking is bad for your health. We all know that. It’s gross to be around.  But my complaint about it has to do with some of the people  in my neighbourhood who have the habit whose smoke I never smell.

Sometimes my weekly Brandt’s Randt on 98.1 Free-FM is more tongue-in-cheek than serious. Â “Oh, someone touched me in line at the grocery store! WAH!” Â But today I’m deadly serious.

Full disclosure: I dye my hair. Â But if hair colouring was outlawed tomorrow I wouldn’t lose any sleep over it. I think about letting it go natural all the time. I don’t because I don’t want to endure the potentially awful growing-out process. Â One day I will. Probably when I’m not a public figure anymore. Â …

I love Joe Fresh clothing. Well, the stuff that isn’t too weird or aimed squarely at only kids. Â But they actually make a good quality dress pant at a reasonable price. Â And now we all know why. Â That’s the inspiration for this week’s Brandt’s Randt on 98.1 Free-FM.

I was targeted by someone on Twitter this week who called me a racist and one of the “sheeple”.  He’s one of those guys who disbelieves everything he hears, including whether the two brothers from Chechnya had anything to do with the Boston bombings, and he inspired this week’s randt. …

This week’s randt appears to have touched a lot of nerves. Â Thanks to Facebook, it’s now possible to make all of your friends feel bad at once because they can’t get away to sun and surf during the deep, dark days of winter! Â But it’s the way those photos and status updates are presented that determines what the response will be. …
