General O/T Chit Chat Thread

It's an important tool in one's armoury for being the worst show ever made, and gloriously so.

The basic crib sheet is a witch and her living ventriloquist doll compete to respectively destroy or save the town of Harmony from a volcano that explodes if Charity and Miguel consumate their love. There were countless cliffhanger coitus interruptions. Other ridiculous plotlines came and went, but that was the immutable pillar.

Which one is the destroyer? Timmy? These can go into my 'hopefully one day they'll come up in a trivia night and I'll know the answers' file. The other question in that file is 'what's David Hookes' date of death?' I only know that answer as he died in my hospital on my birthday.

The fun part is Tabitha wanted to destroy Harmony and Charity, Timmy helps in that endeavour but is too smitten with charity and ends up continually interrupting their consummation. Antics ensue.

The best line in the show was charity saying 'now nothing, nothing can stop us making love' when it was guaranteed. All this at lunch time.

re Timmy:

"His latest incarnation was in 1999, when Tabitha once again brought him to life to do her bidding. His mission in this lifetime was to help Tabitha destroyCharity Standish, a young girl with the ultimate powers of good. Tabitha was ordered by the Dark Forces to destroy Charity in order to keep her from mating with her one true love, Miguel Lopez-Fitzgerald, which would supposedly trigger her full powers of goodness, thereby eradicating all evil from the universe forever, and presumably, Tabitha as well. However, on meeting Charity for the first time, Timmy was smitten by her and never could quite bring himself to do her any harm. "

I meant in a good way of course. I'm laughing with the woman in your avatar. Because she looks to be having a great time. Good for her I think.

Yes, it's supposed to be a Banksy take on Breakfast at Tiffany's; Holly Golightly's ginger cat attacking her. I'm glad you like it! I think it's funny, too.

I made the mistake of once buying the Cadbury Creation rancid banana flavour. Never again will I risk buying perfectly good normal chocolate.

I have heard that people who eat chocolate are four times more likely to see leprechauns when they are dreaming.

Trust is important.

Can't remember if I've mentioned it but the new Peanut and Pretzel chocolate is rather nice.

...wow!... what a magnificent time my sweet darling wife and myself had over the weekend...our youngest daughter and her husband shouted us out on an all expenses paid weekend out in Sydney... (they are kind enough to do that for us a few times a year because they just can)... on Saturday just after lunch they picked us up and drove us all to the 'Novotel Hotel' opposite the Sydney Entertainment Centre and we were overlooking the Japanese Gardens from our hotel room...

...once we were unpacked and had a couple of drinks at the 'Pumphouse Tavern' we then made a long walk to the 'Star Casino' ... (or in my case... a long hobble lol!)... it was a hell of a tiring... (and eventually painful )... walk for me but with a few stops I made it!... we then went to their all-you-can-eat buffet where we all proceeded to gorge ourselves lol!... once finished we had a tinkle on the pokies and came out even at the end of it... (phew!... thank God lol!)...

...when the time came we went into the 'Lyric Theater' and watched 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show' with Craig McLaughlan playing 'Frankenfurter'... I have never been a fan of his ever... in fact... whenever I saw him on TV I always thought ..."what a wanker"... he was absolutely fantabulous!... I have never laughed so much in life!... an absolutely brilliantly talented individual... I am a total convert on this guy... the show was brilliant... the scene changes on stage were beyond belief on how cleverly they were done... the music was perfect and the ad-libbing and communication rapport with the audience by Craig was fantastic... as you have guessed... we loved it!...

...we went back to the Star Casino for drinks and another tinkle on the pokies... at the end of it we had spent $5 all night after another bout of winning what we had put in... (what are the odds of that happening twice in one day eh?)... and that includes all drinks too!...

...we went back to the Hotel at the end of it and totally crashed lol!... Sunday Morning we all went down and had a smogasborg breakfast buffet at the hotel before we needed to check out... the daughter and son-in-law had one more surprise for us before we headed home... after putting all of our luggage in the car we were the taken to 'Guilyans Belgian Chocolate Cafe' for one last indulgence... wow!... I had a mug of coconut hot chocolate and some various chocolates that we sampled...

...they dropped us both back home and went back home to the Central Coast... what a weekend!... once we both had little 'nanna naps' we just lounged around and did nothing until we went to bed lolol!... man that was a helluva weekend!... cheers.
