    Do you guys have the tv show Real Housewives? I think a lot of countries have them. Ours is made in Melbourne. I've never watched an episode, but for the last two weeks, I've have read the piss take on the program by a journalist called Nick Bond. He certainly knows how to stick in the knife in. <laugh>

    They're like bimbos on crack.

    <laugh> Good grief, never watched the show in my life, but maybe now I'll take-in an episode or two! Sometimes I wonder about all, and I mean all, of this #Me-Too business, I mean how could an ordinary man stand up to this lot? He'd get scratched to death! <yikes>

    Edit: .............." but maybe now I'll take-in an episode or two"..............on second thoughts, after reading BK's post below, don't think I'll bother! :emoticon-0101-sadsm

    Tossers the lot; their partners are even worse!

    Thank f**k I'm too old (and too poor) for this sh*t!

    "Real Housewives of Melbourne, Cheshire, New York, Miami, New Jersey and some sh*thole in Texas" - what is TV coming to? We are also treated to shows about the gifts that millionaires buy for their partners and sproggs and the lifestyles of the soooper-doooper rich. Would make you scared to die!

    On the other hand I have just booked an 'impromptu' trip back to Koln!

    Do realise the Wersi Scala is of limited interest on this thread, but I found this demonstration of the instrument's capabilities by Claudia Hirschfeld at a showroom in The Netherlands quite impressive. Also realise that I am beginning to sound like a Wersi Scala salesman..........:(

    New York's Guggenheim Museum has just placed it's relationship with the White House, in an interesting place. President Trump asked if he could borrow Vincent Van Gogh's "Landscape with Snow," he instead was offered Maurizio Cattelan's "America." So what's the problem? "America" is an 18 carat, fully functional toilet. A dunny that's been used by more than 100,000 people since it's instillation in 2016.

    "When the sculpture came off view on September 15, Trump had been in office for 238 days, a term marked by scandal and defined by the deliberate rollback of countless civil liberties, in addition to climate-change denial that puts our planet in peril." Stated Guggenheim chief curator.

    Has there ever been a President denigrated as much as Trump?

    Maurizio Cattelan. "America."

    Is there any better way of demonstrating the frailties of the human psyche than road rage videos?

    Was honestly dumber than usual (and that's saying something) yesterday, and couldn't put "Free On Board" out of my mind, and wondered what the heck Stick was talking about. Then it dawned, finally! <doh>. Glad to hear Stick had a good day, very envious! Put this on the Arts section because it really is a beautiful photograph of the Cotswolds, and shows Fergal O'Brien's string on the way to morning training gallops:

    People forget just what a first class musician and pianist Dudley Moore actually was...

    Colonel Bogey played in the style of a Beethoven piano sonata..

    Eric Bogle's "No Man's Land," also known as "The Green Fields of France" and "Willie McBride." Sung by the Fureys. It's one of the great anti war songs.

    Yesterday I saw a 2016 movie yesterday from New Zealand, called The Wilderpeople. It starred Sam Neill and a kid named Julian Dennison. The kid is an award winning actor, as shown here a NZ government backed piece of film called "Blazed." Julian is the longer haired kid. (Blazed is drugged.)
