D generation, Scared shit less.

Yeah, and I think I know the script of 'The Castle'* off by heart having watched it so many times. Are you and Mrs D too young to remember Norman Gunston (Garry McDonald who sadly had a mental breakdown). Kel in Kath and Kim has a Norman Gunston hairdo.

*e.g. Gee that's fantastic darl, what do you call that? Rissoles!; Joustin sticks, how much does he want for them, Tell him he's dreamin etc

Good luck with the visa!

Yes I remember Norman, mother and son. My parents were ABC mad, until the discovered Hey Hey its Saturday.

MrsDagboy

Gee OzT, remind me to slip you some money again next time - am I too young indeed! LOL I remember Norman Gunston very well, similarly Mother & Son (we have a video of M&S classics, pure genius).

(Im 41 this year. You forgot "Dale dug a hole" "Dad, its filling up with water" (has become a catchphrase in our household ) & "Dad never could work out why he got it so cheap" "Hows the serenity")

What about the Australians who don't get the show? Have they never been to Fountaingate. I like it myself although the last series went a bit stale.

OzTennis

Yeah, we're goin' to Bonnie Doon, we're goin' to Bonnie Doon (singing in the car), camping under the electricity pylons, feel the serenity! House under the pylons next to Essendon airport - Dad says Position, Position, Position is everything, walking out of the terminal and then home with the supermarket trolley. And the hopeless lawyer - did we win?

MrsDagboy

Quite possibly . More likely that they just have a sense of humour bypass though .

OzT, its all about the vibe! Im going to have to fish our video of The Castle out now, I think it went straight to the poolroom!

I missed last weeks but watched last nights. I thought it hilarious, especially the mum and the small friend.
Shall be watching it again.

Love The Castle

*peaceful lake* "If there's one thing dad likes more than serenity... it's a two
stroke engine on full throttle!" *ZOOOOOOOOOOOOM*

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!

I watched last nights K &K and found it funny. I could imagine some of the people I'd met on my visits to Melb saying the lines! And what cracked me up was that some of my yahoo group Melb. friends were actually meeting at FTG shopping centre for coffee this week.
Is it a series that grows on you? Or do you think its a humour that you either love or hate ?

MrsDagboy

Hard to say whether you love it or hate it Hel, but I do I think that either you get it or you don't. Some people may get it but not find it particularly funny, if you understand its a parody & listen to some of the lines & think "oohhh, I can just imagine XYZ saying that" (as you did) or "ooh thats just like that woman that we saw last week" then you're well on your way .

Thats why I think that people who havent been here may not get it, you have to have experienced the environment to appreciate the satire?

Look at moy, look at moy, look at moy!

Hunkyhenry

I wouldn't mind some of that!!! !!!

OzTennis

Kimmeee, look at moy, look at moy, Kimmeee. I've just got ONE word for you "you're being a bloody idiot and you should go back to Brett".

I laughed at the speed dating and Shazza starts off with 'I'm injury prone, I've broken my fibia 5 times' and then later on she has all the guys around as she explains to them how Warney bowls a wrong 'un.
