    As for deadly reality TV just look at the Crocodile Hunter or Bondi Beach.

    There seems to be a ratings backlash at the moment in Australia against reality TV.
    TV can kill you?

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    We have a Dutch version of this show; never knew that it was a copy of a foreign format, allthough I should have expected so.

    The only reality show that appeals to me even slightly is Expeditie Robinson, which is more or less the Dutch version of Survivor.

    Most of the programs (and I'm not just talking about reality TV unfortunately), especially on the 3 commercial channels, are rubbish. The news and current affairs, while way better than Fox (not that that is comforting) is terrible and getting worse. Leading off nightly news with celebrity gossip and fashion shows? Err, not what I'd call "news".

    I pretty much only watch ABC and SBS.

    We had a show here called Cabin Fever or some derivation of that where some people were supposed to sail a ship around Ireland.

    Why anyone thought a group of inexperienced people could sail a ship in our Atlantic waters is beyond me, naturally the boat sank off County Donegal.

    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    Surplus yes, In Sydney yes, In Surry Hills you bet, Oxford Street you'd better believe it.

    Best time to meet them: next month.

    Recommended list of things to do to meet them. Be open minded, adventurous, athletic and a lesbian.
