Why can't music festivals come with zero crowds?
It's hard to pick the best things about summer. A long season of all your favourite artists, playing in the one location under a blue sky with the sun shining, would have to rate pretty highly. Advance planning is essential to make sure you get to see all the acts you want to. Synchronising your watches, preparing blueprints of the fastest route from the rock stage to the hip-hop stage to the uplifting house and garage stage, and a cattle prod to deal with the crowds, will make sure you have a successful day out. Of course, if your cattle prod gets confiscated at the gate you could be in for some trouble. So why can't music festivals come with zero crowds? Why can't you avoid sharing sweat with people you've never met as they press up against you in the blazing sun? And how good would it be if you could just stroll from one act to the next and take your place down the front against the stage? Your favourite bands playing just for you and your mates. Sure, admittedly the crowds do help provide atmosphere, and the screams of a sea of people, moving as one, as the acts play their hearts out is a bit of a rush. Alright, if not zero crowds, then how about VIP passes - no, make that Access All Areas passes - for you and your mates. Zero hassles, zero downside. Now that's a music festival as it should be!

Why can't we get sick on weekdays rather than weekends?
Maybe you love your job or maybe it's just a way to pay the rent. Wherever you stand on the job front, it'd be fair to say that after five days of putting in the hard yards at work, we all look forward to the weekend. Weekends give us a bit of time to regroup, so we're ready to face another week of work. So for the love of all things fair and good, where is the justice when we get sick on weekends rather than workdays? While your mates are out enjoying their freedom, you're laid up in bed drinking soup through a straw and watching a midday movie starring Elvis. And come Monday morning? Yep, you've made a full recovery just in time for work.

Why can't we have endless summers and zero winters?
Some people enjoy winter. But then some people also enjoy diving with sharks. Different strokes for different folks. For those of us who love a long, hot summer, we have to ask, why can't we have endless summers and zero winters? Sure, the seasons have been doing their thing, year in, year out, for a few years now, so maybe it's unreasonable to expect winter to take an extended holiday. But what if, as the temperature drops, your boss says, "Here's a plane ticket and a lap top. You'll be working remotely from far north Queensland/Hawaii/the Caribbean until things get a lot warmer back here." Seems fair, right? A happy worker is a productive worker, and it's true that people are affected by a lack of sunlight during winter. So bring on those endless summers and zero winters for the health of the nation. And if you're already living in the north of Australia where it feels like summer all year round? Then we'd say you're living life, as it should be!

Why can't we win an award for turning up to work every day?
We're in the middle of awards season where Hollywood stars, who are paid more for one film than most of us are likely to see in 10 lifetimes, are given shiny statuettes for doing their job well. Big bucks and the adulation of millions of fans just aren't enough for some people! So why can't we all win an award for turning up to work every day? Every time we do a top job on that weekly report the boss should organise a black tie ceremony, invite the paparazzi, roll out a red carpet and present us with a weighty, solid gold number to say thanks for doing the job we're paying you for. And if they're giving out awards for acting, we could all nominate plenty of times where we've had to put on an award-winning performance at work. So petition your boss. You deserve it! We all deserve it! It's awards season and no one should go home empty handed.

Why can't relationships come with zero "where is this going"?
What's with all the pressure for relationships to go somewhere? Why can't "nowhere" be a viable relationship destination? And what's so special about the future anyway? Its not even here. With an eye on the future all the time you miss the fun that's happening around you right now. Why not be happy where the relationship is? Why not just kick back and let things be? Zero worries about what tomorrow brings. Zero expectations. Just here. Just now.
