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.
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 . . .
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
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.
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
Remember Yosimite Sam and that flea bitten vermint, Bugs who was constantly warned 'Ya better say yer prayers ya flea-bitten varmint! I'm a-gonna blow ya to smithereenies'!
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
Women will lament how they want to date a nice guy, and yet they keep falling for jerks.
