I say!
Well I say!
What a wonderful year 2009 will be!
Much better than 2008, when far too many people, some of whom I dearly miss, dropped off the planet.
Of course, the main event in 2009 will be the coming UK summer, when England will win back the Ashes.
Up at the Government Hostel (for some time now, known as the Hotel Masongola, but known and loved by all the regulars as 'The Hostile'), Picken said to me only the other day: "Why do the Aussies whinge so much?"
Well, I say, I couldn't agree more. Why do they whinge?
On the other hand, and whilst the Aussies can't play cricket for peanuts, they do make excellent movies. My goodness! Mrs M and myself so much enjoyed watching Clubland last night. What an excellent movie, I recommend it. The DVD arrived unannounced, and with no posting address, in our Zomba Box. However, it was posted from Australia, I can tell from the stamp, and, do you know what, I think that Spud's Mum sent it to us. And do you know why I think that? I think that she sent it because I have an inkling that Carslemane acted as an extra in it.
If you look very closely, at the scene where the corpse is removed from the neighbour's house, I'm almost certain that Carslemane plays one of the ambulence attendants.
Well, I ask you? How significant is that?
As far as I know, Carslemane is still lost in space somewhere - last heard of as reported by Caro and Jacko in this post, as 'Going strong for the Top End'. But perhaps not! Perhaps he turned right after the truck hit him, at Camooweal.
Now, there's a funny thing about Camooweal, which I do not understand at all. I was looking at the Google map of it the other day, and Doviko, as he tends to do, was at my shoulder, with my next MGT in his hand. All of a sudden, he said, "Sir, one should not look at a lady's private parts like that." And then he walked off. I still don't know what he means.
The Clubland movie was filmed in Sydney, according to the credits. If only I could persuade the Pitch Advisors' Committee to meet next time in Sidders, instead of Sri Lanka, I might be able to investigate further.

You could try showing Doviko a map of Tasmania.
One reason they whinge might be the dreadful Aussie films they have to watch. Clubland is one of the better ones.
PS - the notion of whinging poms is a classic example of Freudian projection.
PPS - what kind of women has doviko been exposed to?
Actually, now I see what he means. Disgraceful!
I say!
Rob has the raps.
I see no likeness of any Tasmanian map to anything but a divot, carved out of the earth, perhaps whilst playing golf.

Freudian projection.
Pl explain.

Mingin'! I sat through half of Picnic at Hanging Rock, the worst movie ever made. The aussies don't whinge. It's the silver spooned mental midgets from the sweetie eating evil bourgeois who whinge. At least, that beats lamenting. Hotboy
