I feel very ill at ease about this. Ab Fab was classic for the first three series, but season four was wretchedly dark and just plain nasty.
There have been fleeting moments of redemption and greatness since, but it has teetered from the perfection of the earlier seasons.
The ‘Kath and Kim’ movie scared me so badly, forever causing me to feel fear whenever television comedy transfers to the big screen. ‘Kath and Kimderalla’ was so monstrously base, desperate and unfunny, and woefully bad, that it caused me to have a violent reaction against myself.
I just hope Jennifer Saunders has learned from that (in my opinion) really awful movie.
Cold winter Melbourne nights, I could walk the streets forever. Some of the sounds and sights can be found HERE
Since i was a kid reading American comics, i used to see the ad’s in the back for ‘Hostess Twinkies’. My imagination ran wild with what they would taste like. Recently i visited a store that specializes in food from the U.S. I Purchased a box of Twinkies, and i have to say, unless you’re drawn to the taste of sickly, sweet, chemicals, the Twinkies are best avoided. This was definitely a case of the dream being MUCH better than the reality.
Considering I now earn less than I did four years ago #Luckycountrymypertfuckingarse, my willy nilly, spendy ways of years gone by is being rethought. I have learned that it is possible to be piss elegant, and eat just fine on a tight budget. My name is Greg Swan, and I shop at Aldi’s, and I don’t give a fizzing bung what anyone thinks.
Please . . please . . Please . . . . Please . . please, Wollongong, enough with the posts about how wonderful the eating is in Wollongong these days.
We get one new chain eatery in town, and people go beresk.
Now Melbourne, that is a city who knows how to do food.
I shudder to think what sort of frenzy the (mostly) culinary, cultural wasteland of Wollongong* would experience, if “Lord of the fries” ever opened an outlet here.
Perspective people, calm yourselves . . please.
*Of course North Wollongong is exempt from any, and all, besmirching. It, and its inhabitants of cultured residents, is (natch) utterly beyond reproach.
