Half-hearted jog quickly transforms into impressive gallop, as runner passes diners outside Margaret Double Bay
HARD YARDS: On the verge of exhaustion and close to vomiting, a Sydney runner has managed to pick up the pace as he ran through Double Bay’s busy shopping areas. DBT captured the above photo of Tom Hirst, flashing a fake smile while accelerating past Margaret restaurant, which was full of patrons enjoying a sunny afternoon. “I was in a world of pain,” he admitted to DBT. “But I dug deep because I know lots of people who regularly go there.” It remains unclear if anyone noticed him, or even cared about his running form in the slightest, but the…
Read MoreLocal real estate agent records double-digit sales growth after getting a new AI-generated headshot
TRICKS OF THE TRADE: Double Bay real estate agent Simon Schlick says his new AI-generated headshot has been “an absolute game-changer.” “As soon as I updated my business cards, billboards and online profiles with the new photo, my phone has been ringing off the hook,” Schlick told DBT. The new AI image makes him look younger and arguably more handsome, with better hair, a more flattering head shape, and a whiter smile. “Clients trust a winning smile,” he says. “Even if it’s computer-generated.” The 34 year old agent says his sales have doubled since getting the new image 3 months…
Read More#BREAKING: Double Bay diner orders directly from the menu, without making any changes or special requests
A LA CARTE: In what’s being hailed as a world first, a local woman has ordered directly off a menu, without making any special requests or negotiating with the waitress. The incident took place this afternoon at the popular Bake Bar cafe in Sydney’s exclusive Double Bay. “Usually our patrons use our menu as a source of inspiration only,” says cafe owner Mark Ramsay. “They view the ordering process as more like a ‘create-your-own,’ or ‘do-it-yourself’ type of scenario.” But it’s understood the woman today ordered a grilled chicken salad straight off the menu, without any special instructions or suggestions…
Read MoreLocal real estate agent still flaunting heavily branded BMW umbrella, 30 minutes after it stopped raining: Report
BRANDING EXERCISE: A recent run of wet weather in Sydney is being welcomed by local real estate agent Mark Arnold as a chance to use his heavily branded BMW umbrella. But there are reports today that he was still using it more than half an hour after it stopped raining. “Not one other person had their umbrellas up at the time,” one onlooker told DBT. Even as the sun began shining briefly this morning, Mark Arnold was captured by a DBT photographer with his umbrella out while walking through a busy shopping area. Our reporter also spoke to another onlooker…
Read More“I’m totally burnt out,” says former Cranbrook student after lasting 2 weeks of 3 month internship at his dad’s investment bank
NEPO INTERN: A recent graduate of the prestigious Cranbrook school in Sydney’s east has declared himself “totally burnt out” after quitting an internship at his father’s investment bank after just two weeks. “The whole experience was just so draining,” says James Taylor-Rogers. “Some days I worked from 10.30am to 4pm, sometimes without having a nap.” Despite leaving the job almost a month ago, the 22 year old’s LinkedIn job title remains unchanged, and he’s still telling people he works in finance. However DBT understands that he’s spending the next six months in Mykonos. “It’s ok, financial markets are pretty flat at…
Read More“Hydration & clean living are the key to my youthful skin,” claims Bondi woman who spends 25k a year on cosmetic injections
AU NATURALE: A youthful looking Bondi woman has today made the stunning claim that her flawless complexion is the result of nothing more than a strict clean eating regime and drinking plenty of water. Vanessa Ticehurst, 44, regularly shares her “all-natural” beauty routines on social media. However a leaked receipt from a top Sydney cosmetic clinic shows she spent $25,000 on Botox, fillers and micro-needling in the last 12 months to June. “And this does not include other treatments such as facials and laser hair removal,” Ms Ticehurst’s cosmetic nurse revealed to DBT. “She gets that all done elsewhere, so…
Read MoreLocal couples therapist now offering special deal: For an extra $200, he’ll say who is correct
MONEY TALKS: A Sydney therapist is offering a brave new approach to couples counselling. Psychologist James Marshall is bypassing the traditional technique of staying neutral, and being supportive of both people in the relationship. “I’m turning conventional techniques on their head,” says Mr Marshall. “Sometimes you just have to make the call, and side with one of them. In fact, 90% of the time it’s so obvious who is correct.” But his honest relationship evaluation doesn’t come for free. He’ll only declare which partner in the relationship is correct for an extra $200. “If they don’t want to pay the…
Read MoreNew report shows people who leave parties without saying goodbye save up to two days per year
BACK DOOR BENNY: Saying goodbye to friends at parties may seem like the obvious and polite thing to do, but a new report shows it may be costing us dearly. Researchers from the UNSW’s Time Management Institute interviewed 2000 Australians, finding on average they go to 25 parties per year. “From the moment we actually decide it’s time to leave a party it takes us, on average, 45 minutes to say goodbye,” says lead researcher Dean Hoddle. “That means we spend an average of 18 hours and 45 minutes each year saying goodbye.” “But several respondents in our survey spend…

WRITER’S BLOCK: Eric Hagen is known to his mates as “the King of Banter” for his razor-sharp chat in the boys WhatsApp group. But he’s finding his quick wit and poignant prose harder to come by while writing a birthday card to his wife. “I’ve been sitting here for 30 minutes, and all I’ve got so far is: ‘I hope you have a fun birthday,’” he admitted to DBT. The ordeal began when the 32 year old set out to express his feelings in a birthday card, an annual challenge that escalates in difficulty each year. “I’m trying to write…
Read MoreLocal woman who spent $5k on a Prada handbag, still bitter about having to pay 25c for a Coles bag
CHECKED OUT: A Sydney woman who recently splashed out $5k on a handbag is still protesting increased costs at the supermarket checkout, after forgetting to bring a reusable bag. “Coles and Woolworths are highly profitable businesses,” says Tanya Fazekas. “They certainly don’t need to be ripping us off even further on paper bags.” Our reporters reminded the 31 year old that the 25c price for bags is an environmental initiative, aimed at encouraging shoppers to bring reusable bags to the supermarket. “Oh whatever,” she says. “I’m not going to carry empty paper bags around with me like a fucking bag…
