Re: Wanted Down Under - 15 minutes of my life gone
I've got Sex And The City on now, my life is over, I need a mid-life crisis, I think I'll start an affair.
Or get a model train set, the jury is out ...

Thought it was good today on wanted down under, when they got them to meet other expats, and the couple they met brought fish and chips, not that much of a surprise as they own a fish and chip shop and were featured on the Phil Spencer programme last week as a couple that had made a big sucess of their relocation to Oz.

Incestuous indeed

Escape to the Country is full of indecisive, timewasting arseholes. I've probably watched thousands of programmes (see - sad) and hardly any of them ever buy anything. I don't think its helped that the producers find houses for them to look at that bear no relevance to the brief. Give me Phil and Kirsty any day - at least they generally make them buy something

I know I'm a desperate saddo, but I enjoy watching 'oh lets buy a house somewhere completely different' type shows.

All Escape to The Country tells me is that property in some idyllic parts of rural England is not that cheap, really.
I don't mind the indecision. What gets me is that no amount of saying "Oohh...nice aspect" will make you sound knowledgeable especially when you've missed the bit of the book that told you that you CAN change the colour of the paint, and move in your own furniture.
