"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.

The 80's Club

November 20th 2009 08:42
The 80's was television!

In 1986, over 90 per cent of Australians and 86% of American adults watched television daily and the average household had the television set on for seven hours a day.

According most authorities it was "the remote control switch which revolutionized the way we watched TV in the 80s."

And so it came to pass that a golden age for primetime soap operas includig Dallas, Dynasty and Knots Landing all had their legions of faithful viewers.

Sitcoms such as The Cosby Show, Cheers, Family Ties and Married. . .With Children become the thing of legend.

Magnum P.I. and Hill Street Blues graced our screens while Crocket and Tubbs, Maddie and David and a bunch of renegades calling themselves the A-Team had their legion of loyal followers.

From Family Ties to Falcon Crest, Beverley Hills 90210 to Greatest American Hero - the 80's had it all.

But of all the shows - which had your most memorable soundtrack and or program introduction?

21 Jump Street?

The Golden Girls

Baywatch?

Cheers?

Over to you . . .

Britney - The PR Nightmare

Britney
Britney - A PR Nightmare
Britney must pose a bit of a challenge when it comes to marketing.

Imagine the conversation between the executives.

Exec #1: So yeah...Britney's a bit different to the last time - but she still won't sing live.

Exec #2: We can't make her do music videos - so where can we go with it?

Exec #1: But if we don't do videos everyone will think she's back in rehab.

Exec #2: We use a body double? Jessica Simpson might be happy to do it.

Exec #1 and #2: Nah . . . .

What do you think?

Does anyone buy Britney's albums anymore?

Is she just a sad parody of herself and is there any way to keep the business of Britney going when she looks to have given up?

Ever had to come up with an excuse not to have drinks afterwork?

Or how about that awkward get-together with a long lost school buddy you just happened to bump into in the street

New Dog Breeds - Yeah Right . . .!

November 10th 2009 06:47
Dogs
Mixed Breed or Just Mixed Messages
Remember when mixed breed dogs were virtually given away!

Now - thanks to marketing over substance, you can cross just about any breed of dog and ask a king's ransom on the premise that it's a 'designer' mutt

Oxymorons.

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

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

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

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
