First topic message reminder :

Happy New Year 2019 everyone!

Second fist for me.

I have no idea what flipper is up to as I my work blocks a lot of images...

Nice artwork Flipper. That should be our national flag. A proper banana republic.

Going by your way... sort of... early tomorrow. Visiting the Rome: City and Empire exhibition and checking out latest developments in Canberra with the family. We usually stop at Goulburn for breakfast. It's an old family tradition (or unexplainable habit) to go to this "70s type" cafe called The Paragon. Probably new owners now?  We'll see.

I'll look out in your direction on the way home but I don't think we'll be stopping at any lookouts above Wollongong.

Fixed for you.

I drove from the Gong to Melbourne last weekend, it's not a real eye-catching route. We planned to drive the coast, take in some places with penguins and seals, but the weather was such that we decided not to do a 13 hour route and just go the quickest way. The stop is Gundagai was not enthralling, we also skipped the chance to see the "Dog on a Tuckerbox." This country has some weird sights. Melbourne, however, is excellent. 

I have been to Golbourn, only to stop, and see the Big Merino. That was on the way to Canberra, so this is the first conversation about places that has made sense to me. Don't mind Canberra, the people I know who live there are pretty negative, well negative by being so lacking in positives rather than outright negatives. Think it's alright myself, the War Memorial is a good trip.

Magnificent. I want to buy a shoe like that one.

Realise I am now late to the party, but I like the new black for CC tag.

The weather has been miserable but it's much needed rain. Things were pretty dry up until recently.

I had some guests stay from Melbourne who said everything was so lush and green in Victoria but as soon as you cross the border... NSW is bone dry... just brown dirt. Hopefully some crops can now grow. I've been to those big things. Drive by the big merino tomorrow.

Did you hear about the Leyland Bros. Ayres Rock road diner/kitch tourism place burning down a few years back? That place would never be allowed to be built today. The two brothers poured millions of $ back in the early 90s into that.

Same as you with Canberra. I quite like touring around there. Know a few people but this is a quick day trip... plan to get back home around 6pm.

Wa gawaan?

Morning

Morning, black rick of the fist of iron

Hello, mate, how goes the Green Grammar Gent from the South?

Midlands. I'm not some southern softie like Galted, constantly weather-proofing himself.

Anything south of Sheffield is "Southern" to me, super will probably tell you it is Berwick. Galted doesn't have a leg to stand on, and as for PJ...

As for me. I'm way too far south. I even went a little further south today.

We had a great day in Canberra although it was very cool and overcast. It felt windy like NZ. I had a few layers on which is unusual here in spring. The land looks great after some rain. Very lush and green now. There was a very autobahn feel driving along in the rain whizzing past the pine forests near Belanglo - where the backpacker murderer Ivan Milat did his work.

However no water in Lake George... still a mystery.

Aliens stole the water.

Freddy Starr ate my hamster.

A bit overcast here, not sure whether to take the Goretex, the Wolfskin or the Superdry. The decision is likely to be pivotal regarding my enjoyment of the day so I will take my time.

Pissing down here. I'm going to take a jacket and just get on with my life, instead of farting around.

Pissing down here also, not even bothering with a jacket.

Went with the Goretex. Didn’t rain in the end but was quite breezy which vindicated my selection.

It'sa morning feast...

Sickened.

Very good wordplay so far this morning. This post should lower the standard a bit.

Turd.

What do you think of your new banner? I think it's very you.

I hadn't noticed but, now that I have, I am quite thrilled and impressed.

Did anyone watch Pal Joey yesterday?

I can't see the banners, hopefully the next place will have unrestricted access to all pictures on the web.

What is the worst that can happen?

If you're talking about the attack on the family I saw the headline and forgot about it. Must've caught them using his pool without permission.

Your family could be attacked by a ferocious Pal Joey.

No, I'm talking about the Frank Sinatra film that was on the TV.

I watch it every day.

Did you enjoy it Jules?

Paljoeypalindrome

I didn't watch it

To be honest, I'd never heard of it before, so it was interesting to see where you got your moniker from. Why that film?

It's a play on names and it was also the film quoted by a nurse when I was born. Sort of a nickname I suppose.
The film must have had an impact on her because this was well into the late 60s. The film was 1957 I think.

Very high-brow fisting. I’m Gounod give it 5/5.

Morning, cuppers.

Morning rick. That's certainly one in the eye for Jimmy Sommerville.

He probably deserves it, Jules, how go the mid lands?

It's the dress rehearsal tonight for my big show. Premiere is tomorrow with the Mayor of Solihull and her consort in attendance.

Exciting times indeed, you all set or are nerves kicking in?

A few nerves. I'm the producer and one of the writers, so my work is pretty much done, apart from helping to move the sets in between each of the 5 short plays being performed - what could possibly go wrong?

I am sure it will all go swimmingly and once the tabs part it will be seamless...

The most celebrity thing we have seen on the CC.

Hope it all goes well, Jules. I'd never write off anything with you running the show.
Had a quick look at the site... nice work!

We have just received this month's snack box, and it is Russian... No novichok symptoms yet, or at least for the new guy in the team who we made open it.

So glad you're not the official taster, Rick. Best give it 10-15 minutes just to see how the new guy goes.

He is still hanging on, I will provide updates...

I'm about to eat a ready meal with a Best Before date of yesterday. Should I be worried?

No... just eat it. As long as it has been stored properly it will be fine.

Not sure. I dug it out of next door's bin.

I’m very opinionated when it comes to the arts so if you need anyone to hurl abuse at the actors let me know.
