hail catherine

Posted on May 7, 2008 by JH

Good old Catherine Deveny knows just what to say. Here she is today on Sam Newman, the Footy show and the Logies:

The guys who sit by rolling their eyes saying “Oh Sam!” are just as bad. The show should be called “Pigs in Suits”.

Has Kate Ritchie broken new ground in creative endeavour, challenged outmoded cultural stereotypes or questioned the human condition? Is she brave? Is she smart? Is she funny? No, she’s been on Home and Away for 20 years. And she’s pretty. What a good girl.

Which reminds me: I must tell you one time about the year I was at the Logies.

Hail
Those of you who come from cool climates will no doubt think me something of a naif, or possibly a rube if you prefer, but I did get a touch excited to see my backyard under hail recently. It was almost like snow!

It\'s sorta snowing

Sick
I’m feeling a touch better, thanks for all your kind comments. My voice is coming back slowly. Yesterday I sounded like Tom Waits after a particularly intense bender, today it’s more like early-60s Bob Dylan. I can sing a mean “Ballad of Hollis Brown”.

Jaykay - I didn’t take my lurgy in to work - I kept it at home with my two young kids and wife. Nice eh?

I desperately, desparately, DESPERATELY, DESPERATELY!!!!!!! want to run, but I probably should wait until I can keep down food.

    How cool was the hail :-)

    Luckily I was inside a restaurant at the time, enjoying a nice Chicken Ceaser Salad.

    Certainly made talking a tad hard though! (the hail on the roof, not my Chicken Ceaser Salad!)

    I think Sam deserves the Gold Logie more than Kate whatever her name was

    I’ve never really understood why that bird from home and away keeps winning those awards - makes no sense to me

    Ah, popular with the young people - well, it’s nice to be thought of as a young person…although after listening to their new CD I’m thinking they are probably also very popular with the gay crowds (hello Australian Pet Shop Boys)
