"Our thoughts are precious. They are our very own property and can't be taken from us." - P.K. Shaw

About Me
Yes it's true I'm a 50's/60's/70s tragic - that longs for the romance of yesterday but regails in the thought of an exciting tomorrow. A firm believer that everyone in this world puts their trousers on 'one leg at a time' - we'd all be better off if there was a little more humour, understanding and respect for one another.

My Favourite Oxymorons . . .

November 6th 2009 04:31
Oxymoron
Oxymorons.

For those unfamiliar with the term - basically it's a figure of speech which combines two normally contradictory terms.

OK - so Government Worker probably doesn't count - nor does Airline Food but I do have a few favourites which continue to tickle my fancy - if you'd care to add.

1) Found Missing
2) Good Grief
3) Small Crowd
4) Butt Head
5) Clear Misunderstanding

And my favourite (tongue in cheek) Microsoft Works - yes I've love my Mac . . .

Reasons it's great to be a guy . . .

November 5th 2009 06:28
TV
OK - so as I wait for the barbed comments and don a flak jacket in preparation for the expected incoming scuds to arrive - thought you might all have a few more suggestions to add to this list.

. . . and ladies - please be gentle.

1. Phone conversations are generally over in 30 seconds

2. A holiday requires only one suitcase

3. Your underwear is $10 for a three-pack

4. You can be showered and ready to go in 10 minutes

5. Car mechanics tell you the truth

6. Gray hair and wrinkles only add character.

7. You think the idea of punting a small dog is funny

8. One mood, all the time

9. Hairdressers don't rob you blind

10. You can go to the bathroom without a support group

My Favourite TV cop is . . .

November 3rd 2009 20:27
Police
Cops are Tops!
Remember Kojak? How about Starsky and Hutch? Or the entire team from Hill Street Blues?

Throw in Adam 12, 21 Jump Street, Baretta, CHiPs, Ellery Queen, Mod Squad and Police Woman and you have a weekend's view right there!

Add a dose of SWAT, TJ Hooker, Miami Vice and The Bill - and you start to scratch the surface of how many TV cops we've come to know and love over four decades.

Why even todays CSI crew would probably go close to standing toe to toe with Jack Lord, Danno and Chin Ho from Hawaii 5-0 when it comes to solving crimes.

Perhaps . . .

So look out Robert Taylor!

Stand by Matlock!

We're out to solve the question of who has been TV's favourite cop.

What's Your Favourite Beach Boys Song?

November 2nd 2009 22:35
The Beach Boys
The Beach Boys
OK - there's no denying it - for over 30 years I've coveted the music of the Beach Boys.

Not so much for the intricacies of the songwriting or the whmisical yet contagious lyricisms - but more for the laid back, west coast feel that can transport you to another place and another time - far from the worries and stresses of modern day living

What Classifies You as a Bogan?

November 1st 2009 22:17
Bogan
Bogans - they walk among us . . .
What qualities exemplify a typical 'Bogan'?

Is it the traditionally flanellette shirt and mullet for men or 'tasteful' rose or dolphin tattoo on the ankle or small of your back for women

Or Sylvester and his nemisis Tweetie Pie

Who's Your Favourite Brady Bunch Kid?

OK - dumb question. More a case of hands up those who don't remember the Brady's really

Reality TV
What would your ultimate reality TV show be?
With so many reality TV shows currently filling the void left occupied by any kind of intelligent viewing - I thought it prudent to put the question out there - "What Would Be Your Ultimate Reality TV Show"?

No holds barred - and let's face it producers have just about taken the thinnest scrapping of butter and served it up to as a a main course already, so I suspect there won't be too many more outrageous suggestions out there - or are there

TV Jerks Women Love

October 22nd 2009 20:50
Gordon Ramsay
Women will lament how they want to date a nice guy, and yet they keep falling for jerks.

For nice guys, this can be difficult to understand. Why do women always say they prefer considerate gentlemen, but then chase after and or catch what are known colloquially as "douchebags
