I've heard of Cleverman, watched the trailer, read about it.. and never gotten around to it. So it's not lame?

Not at all. I remember hearing about it. Might watch one day. Not tonight, as I got more B5 to watch.

There's another ABC show called Soul Mates I'll have to check out later too.
Currently in Qld visiting the grandgirl. She's a sweetie!

 

[Miss Chicken]

A friend phoned me up to ask if I was going to watch the new series that is airing on Gem TV. She told me it was called 'Cosmos' and it starred Patrick Stewart and Kirsten Durst.

I said 'Do you mean the Neil DeGrasse Tyson series?'. She said the preview only mention Patrick Stewart and Kitsten Durst.

So Gem TVdoesn't mention Tyson who hosts the entire 13 episodes , whereas Patrick Stewart who does the voice for the animated William Hershell in one episode, or Kirsten Durst who does the voice for the animated Cecilia Payne, are the stars.

This is why I hate commercial TV.

 

[Australis]

Understandable. Get the bods in and wow them with the pictures.

 

[Australis]

I have the house to myself for four days!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

And... breathe...

(PS: also on ABC iView is a hell funny show now running on TV, 'The Katering Show.' Try it.)

I've seen most of that on youtube, it is very hilair. I loved the Thermomix one

Also make sure you do something wild and crazy Australis.

 

[Australis]

How wild and crazy, @teacake ? <waggles eyebrows>

The Thermomix ep is definitely funny, and I don't even own one.

Hmm, someone awarded me a trophy, apparently. No idea who. Stuff like that rarely happens to me. Puzzled now...

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

A trophy?

Australis I think you should... EAT CEREAL IN BED. There. I said it.

 

[Australis]

Oooooo! Living dangerously!!

Trophy. Yep, all it says is "You've received a trophy. Someone likes you!:" No idea who or why. Never seen that before. I'll do a screencap later.

EDIT: screencap:

 

[Mr Soak]

It looks like a trophy for getting 50 post likes. Automatic thing, probably.

 

[Australis]

This is a slightly drunkl post. Not worth a drunkl thread. God bless Canadian Club and Dry.

Have just come back from Qld from seeing Son1 and Grandgirl. It was wonderful.

Tomorrow I can go and sample something to do my Scottish blood proud, as there's a Highland Games thing on the Central Coast. It'll be fun.

When life is giving me shit, which it has done a lot lately, I simply look at my new wallpaper. Those four faces mean the world to me, and it always lifts me. (And spoiler alert... I may have to extend this slightly early next year...)

 

[Miss Chicken]

Can't Tony Abbott just fade away?

 

[Australis]

You'd think, wouldn't you? However, the people of his seat were silly enough to vote him in again.

 

[Marc]

Can't Tony Abbott just fade away?

of course not - the idiot thinks he's got a chance of becoming P.M again when turnbull gets dumped (remembering the Libs claim they aren't like Labor).

the only thing worse is the idiots int he part who think he's actually worthy of the job.

 

[Australis]

Things are going to change. More soon.

 

[Australis]

But in the meantime...

Hanson. What the hell is wrong with that woman?!

 

[Miss Chicken]

And what is wrong with the people who voted for her?

 

[Marc]

And what is wrong with the people who voted for her?

the answer to both is stupidity and ignorance.

 

[Australis]

And fear.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

It is horrifying that she is here, in the news, doing stuff real time AGAIN!

Ugh.
