The Royal Wedding

Apparently* chicks actually like the long stay at the crease.

With someone that fidgety that's all they're likely to get. Good thing she wears glasses.

I guess we'll end up with a lot of babies named Meghan over the next 9-12 months

Have noticed that many girls with the spelling Megan, insist that their name is pronounced MEGan. The old Meegan is not so popular these days.

We’ve always pronounced it the first way over here, I’ve only heard the other version in Aussie soaps.

Same here. Don't think I've ever seen an Aussie soap.

They were the biggest thing on TV back in the day (late 80s and throughout the 90s, really)... not sure if the same was true in SA?

Might have been on here. Never watched them.

I’d like to say you were missing out, but not so sure really... let’s just say, we didn’t quite have the same choice of multi-channel sport and big budget box sets back then!

If they could reduce the civil list to two, it'd be a right royal weeding.

is it over yet?

Long over.

I believe they were on over here as well, but have never watched them. 'Neighbours' was a bit like Fosters, I think ... surprisingly popular in England but thought very poor fare in Australia. Still, they both put dollars in Oz pockets I guess.

Can I belatedly nominate this for 'gold'?

Nice Dress Lizzie

Yeah... launched Kylie’s career, of course, 30 years ago. And a whole host of flash in the pan/wannabe pop stars in the subsequent years.

I think it, along with Home and Away, is still on Channel 5 (the unfashionable backwater of our “traditional” TV channels) but don’t think many watch them these days. I wonder if they still do the Neighbours set tours in Melbourne, or whether there’s too few of the current backpacker generation who care...

Fosters, agree on that one. Shit adverts as well. “For the thirsty”, says the latest one - well, you’d have to be bloody thirsty to drink that catpiss, I guess!

All relative I guess. Last time I was in the UK in 85 I was drinking Fosters from the tap. Not a bad Lager. Far preferable to bitter or mild, which were serious horsepiss.

Taips, I can remember drinking some decent yarp brews, but have forgotten their names (prolly had too many).

Oz has had a renaissance of craft brews over the last decade along with the other basics of the Ploughman's lunch - decent artisan bread and cheese. Is SA experiencing the same?

That's it BD. Thanks.

Am I the only person in the world who filed this event under "H" for HGAF?

Or is that harsh on my part? What a yawn fest.

Ah yes, should've been "WGAF".
