I’m so annoyed that the rest of the world thinks Iggy is representative of Australian Hip Hop. She had no career here, America made her famous, and in the mean time there is a pretty strong scene here that sounds completely Australian and doesn’t involve people using fake accents, and is very diverse and inclusive.

It's called a T-V distinction, after the latin tu and vos.

Full strength I go for Coke. Sugar free is Pepsi Max. But because I am a wanker I have switched to cold drip coffee with a dash of tonic for my caffeine needs.

I thought of a panel interview, which is a little less appealing than a buffet.

I remember when Katey Sagal had a miscarriage in real life, so they had to write out Peg's pregnancy by making the last several episodes a dream - the first time I was aware of real life interfering with a show I watched.

2. Mountain climbers.

I think it was the circumference…

Sooty and Sweep! another early favourite.

I was a big Humphrey the Bear fan in kinder - there is still some fan art of him somewhere at my mums. There was also Marty the Monster on The Early Bird Show, plus of course Ozzie Ostrich who made it all the way to prime time.

This is one I pulled off, but it is very mild. It’s the only real prank I’ve ever done - even at eight I knew I had peaked and it would be downhill from there so I never tried again.

I pulled off a successful April Fools trick once, when I was eight. I spread vegemite on chocolate, told my brother it was melted, and he ate it! So funny! After that, I retired from tricks, since it was clearly all down hill from there.

Pushing Daisies for me.

The bit with the soldiers reminded me of the totem pole from Hannibal.

I upvoted, but actually I think otters and puppies should be reversed. And capybara should get a look-in.

I always like the They Might Be Giants version:

Yep. One of the founders of Melbourne was John Batman, and he wanted to call it Batmania. I live in the electorate of Batman.

I don't want to know his name, it can't live up to the promise. Keep it a mystery! Go Banshee-style and have him whisper is to someone without us hearing it.

Interesting - I always wondered why John Cabot was known as that rather than Giovanni Caboto and now I know! Thank you for adding to my wealth of useless information.

You're right, Damien Dahrk was great, and the Constantine stuff was also fun, but anything to do with the island, or Oliver and Felicity splitting, or Dahrk's stupid underground city endgame, is really tedious. The muddled last part of the season makes me forget the good earlier parts.

I did a rewatch recently and found S3 far better than I remembered, but S4 so bad that I had to bail about ten episodes from the end, mostly out of boredom. Thankfully S5 is a big turn around.
