7 d. ago ‘I’ve never driven a car. I can’t cook. I’m a lost cause’: meet Australia’s top quizzers

They study for hours a day. The competitions have zero prize money. So what keeps quiz champions going for glory – and how do they win?Get our weekend culture and lifestyle emailIssa Schultz has a daily schedule that not many could compete with.“I get up, I make a coffee, I go on the computer and I do quizzes. I take a break for lunch and then get back on the computer for more quizzes,” he says. “It sounds like an illness, and others may diagnose it as that, but I am that obsessed. It’s not an exaggeration to say I treat it as an eight-hour job – a full-time day.” Schultz is Australia’s #1 ranked quizzer, the name for the people who take trivia very seriously. It’s a hobby he’s structured his entire life around. For about six weeks a year, Schultz films the Channel 7 show The Chase Australia, where he serves as one of the quizshow’s “chasers” – the experts whom contestants must topple if they want to take home the prize money (his nickname on the show, fittingly, is The Supernerd). ...

‘A guy from our record company told me to take out the whistling. I said no way. When the song went through the roof, he came to me, bent over and said, “Kick my ass!”’Being a West German band made playing the Soviet Union in the late 1980s particularly special. We’d grown up in a divided country and had tried many times to play in East Germany, but they would never let us in. When we did our first gig in what was then Leningrad, the atmosphere was a bit grey, not very colourful or rock’n’roll – but hearts started opening up over the course of the 10 gigs we did in the city. It ended up a bit like Beatlemania, with fans circling our cars after every show. Continue reading...

The hardest working item in my wardrobe was a black, oversized fine wool T-shirt. I wore it over my workout gear, with blazers to meetings and layered beneath a thick cable knit when writing at home. I took to sleeping in a cashmere-silk blended singlet – if that sounds lush, it really is. I rarely left the house without an enormous woollen scarf which often doubled as an umbrella in Sydney’s rain.As we come into warmer weather, it’s time to put these favourites away. From moths to mould, knitwear faces some perils while packed away, so I sought expert advice to ensure it can be retrieved in good condition next winter. Continue reading...
