No. And yes. It's always sudden.

Our wings are not tired.

John - Thank you for sharing your wedding pictures. You two look so very already married! Just beautiful, I got all choked up like I was in attendance. Brendon and I will be married 13 years this March and I highly recommend the whole married thing. I wish you both a lifetime of joy.

billytea - Hearty congrats to your dad! Well done.

Posting to the unamericans here because Natter is too fast and scary for me these days. I can only catch the recent once every couple days. Expressing my gratitude again for the Beep me and Press threads.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Hey, question for the Australians: anyone here seen the show Kath and Kim? A friend sent us the videos for Christmas and we're trying to decide what to make of it.

Yes Billytea, I saw a little of it. Not to my taste, but I know some people who find it hilarious.

A friend worked on the site, Kath & Kim.

I'm just starting to lean that way after seeing the wedding statue of Little Baby Cheeses. It reminds me of The Castle. (And Tony Martin has a bit part in both, apparently.)

Homesickness may have something to do with this. I'm pretty sure very few Americans would find it funny, though.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.

I didn't see all of Kath & Kim but what I did see made me laugh more often than not and I'm not much of a fan of Jane "Kath" Turner. Glenn Robbins as "Kel" was wonderful, as usual. No surprise that this is an ABC production.

I'm pretty sure very few Americans would find it funny, though.

Yeah, it is very Australian. Of course, those that liked The Castle may find this funny as well.

umm, you might want to tell your friend that it's "sows' ears" not "sours ears" :)

Haha.. yes, although it may be on purpose. The site was meant to look like something thrown together out of trashy weekly magazines.

That's "award-winning" site, right?

I think it looks perfectly Kath-and-Kim like, that's its charm.

And when A Certain Person was coding the quiz, the actors who play Kath and Kim were asked to suggest the error message users got if they hit submit before they'd answered all the questions. People loved it.

Brits: what's going on with seasons 7 and 4 arriving on Sky One? I thought that they were showing 7.1 on 9th January, and beginning 4.1 a couple of weeks later. But now I have the new Radio Times, which says that they're showing a 'Best of Buffy' programme on the 9th, followed by Angel, which I think is 4.1.

This seems odd, and I fear they may be doing something stupid. Anyone else got stuff on this? (I'm hoping I'm mis-reading/understanding.)

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

I was wondering that today - there was an ad for a Buffy-arific evening on Thursday on Sky One, but still no mention of next season. And you'd really think there would be....

gulp.

I'm sure it's all fine. Nothing to worry about.

Let's keep saying that, Fay...

I saw the ad, and there's an article about the new season in the Radio Times, complete with teasing spoilers (luckily nothing I hadn't read on-line), but the actual listings aren't so hopeful.
