My name is Brett Partington and I am from Adelaide, South Australia. I am a fashion retailer who enjoys meeting people from all walks of life. I have a passion for music and play drums in a 10 piece band called ‘The Holeproofs’.

I am a unique character who loves a good story and am intrigued by people from all walks of life.This section is a collection of stories and posts all about me and what happens as I go about my day. I will always keep it real and write from the heart. I usually find the funny side in most things, but sometimes have something serious to say. I like entertaining and engaging people and I hope this blog does also.

Court Out Again – Partington’s Try to Stay Out of jail

January 10, 2015July 7, 2016 Brettcourt, hearing, jail, learning, magistrate, max0 comment

Just spent the morning in court! Don’t panic…I just took my 12yo son Max in to watch some cases being heard in relation to drink driving, meth amphetamines, police pursuits etc…as a “learning experience”. I highly recommend anyone with teenage kids to take them in and watch the process. Max learnt so much in an hour that he could write a novel about it, and will never drink and drive. To see the offenders and how the court deals with the cases is incredibly powerful! ( much more fun than…

My Dictionary Word to Sum Me Up – ‘Glamorous’

January 10, 2015July 8, 2016 Brettdictionary word, facebook, glamorous0 comment

Brett’s dictionary word to describe him is: ‘Glamorous’ You are madly sociable and always in the mood for good-fun. Adventures and parties mean practically nothing without you. You have the uncanny ability of being a magnet wherever you go. People genuinely enjoy you for who you are. It’s fair to say it always feels like a holiday whenever you’re around!

Teach Your Kids – Use a Stick

January 8, 2015July 8, 2016 Brettstick0 comment

Guess what I am doing with the Partington boys??? Spending the xmas holidays like I did when I was a boy – with no wifi, no Xbox, no Wii, no mobiles, no Foxtel, no Commodore 64 etc…. I explained to the lads that when I was their age my brother and I could entertain ourselves for a week with a stick!!! …they scoffed at me… I then jokingly listed all the uses for a stick: Brother poker Boomerang Back scratcher Sword Light sabre Fire starter Weapon Pretend microphone Ant hole tormenting…

The Partington Boys hit the surf today…BIG WEDNESDAY style! Partington Senior got off to a good start when trying on a XXXL wetsuit by saying “this one is too tight…how fat am I?” . Then realised I had my leg in the arm hole! Partington Junior then said “my wetsuit is too tight also Dad!”. His was on backwards! Let’s hope we perform better when we reach the waves!…

Dirty Laundry Aired in Goolwa

January 8, 2015July 8, 2016 Brettbasket, goolwa, laundromat, laundry, washing0 comment

Decided to teach the Partington Boys some domestic skills by showing them how to use a laundromat. As Zak was walking across the road with the dirty washing, the basket disintegrated and our underwear was left lying in the middle of the busy road. Max then got the job of operating the washing machine, which took 5x $1 coins all at once. He mis-timed pushing the lever and it swallowed 4 coins and the machine would not start. Coughed up another $6 for a h/duty machine. Once again…another Seinfeld episode!:-…

Rolling Out New Ideas

January 8, 2015September 11, 2016 Brettloo, sam, toilet roll0 comment

After reading the post about my 12yo nephew Sam being inspired in the toilet to write amazing quotes about life. I decided to give it a try and all I could come up with was the following: “How can we send a man to the moon, create the world wide web, and now use mobile phones that fit in our pocket yet we still can’t invent a toilet roll that can change itself?” Maybe if the end cardboard roll was decorated and not a boring brown colour things may be…

People Power Stirring the Pot – SA Premier Under Heat

January 8, 2015September 11, 2016 Brettemergency services levy, facebook, premier, volunteer, weatherill0 comment

I recently posted a letter on Facebook in regard to the Emergency Services Levy that in simple terms means volunteers have to ‘pay to volunteer’ to protect us. ( which is wrong on so many levels) . I then sent that letter on to the Heavy Hitters of Emergency Services and hoped they could make a difference with it. I am pleased to see that on page 5 of today’s Advertiser that ” people power” is starting to stir and some ‘heat'( excuse the pun) is being put on the…
