A Twitter user by the name of Paul Chambers has been arrested after making a bomb threat on Twitter. The 26-year-old from Doncaster had a knock on the door from local police just hours after he typed in: "Robin Hood airport is closed. You've got a week and a bit to get your shit together, otherwise I'm blowing the airport sky high!!".
He was immediately arrested under the Criminal Law Act 1977 and detained for more than 6 hours of questioning, eventually being bailed. His computer and iPhone were confiscated, and the message was deleted from Twitter's site. The police issued a statement saying: "We advise members of the public to use such sites appropriately, as they are easily accessible to the public and any inappropriate use could cause unnecessary concern and lead to comments being reported to police".
Chambers' tweets are marked as private, so only people he accepts are able to see his messages. That scotches our hopes that the police have some sort of Twitter Search alert set up for "bomb". Instead, it's likely that one of his followers reported the message. Would you tell police about a message like that, if you saw it? Tell us in the comments.

Making Upholstery Prototypes
(This article was written for upholstery professionals. To see a version of this article for clients, go here.)
Upholstery is a very specialized trade. We often take on a wide variety of projects. Sometimes those are one-of -kind projects that we are creating from scratch, or we might be making a number of the same type of furniture items, such as cushions, church pews, or restaurant booths. Other times we may be altering the frame, the style, or the cushions on a piece of furniture.
If we cut the fabric before we have a clear understanding of the job, making mistakes can cost us a lot of money. Planning our jobs ahead will serve both us and the client much better.
As an example of preplanning, before beginning building hundreds or thousands of a product, manufactures will create a prototype so they can see how everything fits together and to see if everything works as it is supposed to. The manufactures do have an advantage over an upholsterer though. They can spread the cost of the prototype over the entire production run, so that the cost of the prototype is very small on a "per piece" cost.
Upholsterers, on the other hand, can't usually spread the cost of a prototype over hundreds of furniture pieces. We can only apply the cost of the prototype to that one job, so we can't afford to spend very much time on making prototypes. However, we also can't afford to make very many mistakes with the client's fabric and/or furniture.
Whenever I'm doing an upholstery job, most of the time I just measure and cut the client's actual fabric. However, sometimes when I'm doing an unusual job, or if I'm uneasy about whether the job will work out as I imagine, I use some substitute fabric to test out my ideas. I keep cheap fabric around to experiment with. Any time I'm trying something new, that I'm unsure about, I'll make a pattern and/or a very simplified (no cording, etc.) prototype out of the cheap fabric to make sure it will fit. If I'm unsure about how to do something, I won't cut the job fabric, but will instead use the cheap fabric. Once I have my prototype the way I want it, I'll use the pattern to make the client's job.
Prototype Materials
Then the question would come up, "What type of material (fabric, vinyl, leather, etc.) should I use to make prototypes?". The answer would depend upon what type of projects you will be making. Ideally, you should use a type of material similar to what you will be actually using on the job. However almost any type of upholstery fabric or vinyl can be used. I even use drapery and clothing fabric, whatever I happen to have around. Lately, because I've had a roll of it around, I've been using some self-lined drapery fabric.
Ideas: Fabric stores (or even upholstery suppliers) often sell off undesirable fabric very cheaply. Watch for sales. Remember, when making prototypes, you don't care what color it is. The cheap fabric may be very ugly or undesirable - That's probably why they are selling it so inexpensively. But, for a prototype, it doesn't matter if it's an ugly color. You are making the prototype to make sure the project will work and that everything fits.
Making the Prototype
There are numerous ways to make prototypes, depending upon what the project is. Since we are not getting paid to make a prototype and we don't have a large run to divide out the cost, we need to make the prototype as simply as possible. So, much of the time I'll make a stripped-down version of whatever I'm making. I'm mainly checking size and how it fits, so I don't need any cording, special designs, etc. I'll also only sew it up enough to make sure it fits. Keep the fitting, cutting, and sewing as simple as possible.
Occasionally the project may require that you put more details and go to more work to make the prototype. That's just part of cost of doing business. Just accept it an go on with the project.
The Cost of the Prototype
Can you charge for the prototype? Sometimes you can, and sometimes you can't. If a making a prototype is necessary or advisable, I will make one whether I get paid for it or not. Being paid for the prototype is not the most important factor. Turning out quality work will repay you for your efforts in the form or happy clients and positive word of mouth advertising.
Making a Pattern
One of the uses of making a prototype is in making a pattern for some furniture that has no original covering, or if you are changing the style of the furniture.
When you ask, "How do I make a pattern?", the unasked question I hear is "How do I make a pattern correctly the first time, without making a mistake?". I would direct you back to this article on making Prototypes. Making a prototype is allowing yourself to make a guess using scrap fabric and then try out the results to see how it fits. From that first prototype you see how far off your first guess was, then, if necessary, make a corrected second prototype and see how that fits. Then, if necessary, make any adjustments to your 2nd prototype pattern. Now you have your pattern that you can use to cut the real fabric. I doubt that even "high-tech" pattern makers make a perfect pattern every time.

Sounds like carrying a pie on an airplane is now a matter of national security, according to this post on the Eye of the Consumerist. A snip:
- A man waiting in line asked if it was okay to bring his pie on board.
"That aint't a liquid," said the TSA employee.
"Oh, good," said the man.
We refrained from asking aloud whether cherry pie filling was considered a gel.
"Unless it's sweet potato," she said.
"It is," he said.
"Then I'm gonna have to confiscate it!" said the TSA employee, to general laughter.
I'm glad we had the Thanksgiving feast at our house this year...

Adaptation Review: Agatha Christie's Partners in Crime (1983-84)
Agatha Christie created many memorable characters along the course of her record-breaking legacy as the most popular writer of all time. But the most stylish, and perhaps the most charmingly witty, were the romantic detective duo of Tommy and Tuppence Beresford. Appearing in five novels and a collection of short stories, the Beresford's résumé is less extensive than that of Hercule Poirot or Miss Marple, but their adventures in stylish sleuthing retain a favorite space in the hearts of Christie's readers, and likewise in the world of film. The novel in which they make their first appearance, The Secret Adversary, was the first film adaptation of Christie's work in the 1920s; more recently, and quite memorably, Tommy and Tuppence returned to the screen in 1983 and 1984, first in a wonderful full-length adaptation of The Secret Adversary and later in the ITV series Agatha Christie's Partners in Crime. Starring Francesca Annis as Tuppence and James Warwick as Tommy, the series adapted ten of the short stories from Christie's collection, Partners in Crime, into a lavish and enchanting set of mysteries full of wit, style, and Christie's iconic knack for storytelling. The Tommy and Tuppence mysteries capture brilliantly what it is that has made Agatha Christie's stories stand the test of time. The author's exciting combination of smart humor and even smarter mystery are brought to beautiful life in these adaptations, directed with panache by John A. Davis and Tony Wharmby, and brightened all the more by the sparkling cast. The period style of the 1920s is recreated with great attention to detail, most notably through the show's costuming. Francesca Annis is scene-stealing as the impulsive and endlessly curious Tuppence, and James Warwick is charming as polished and dependable Tommy. Reece Dinsdale also appears through much of the series as Albert, the young and comedic butler-turned-assistant.
Partners in Crime evokes a feeling of returning to the familiar, even when viewing the episodes for the first time. Tuppence and Tommy are both instantly likable characters, and their endeavors - from Young Adventurers, Ltd. ("Willing to do anything, go anywhere, no unreasonable offer refused") to overtaking The International Detective Agency - bring about plenty of exciting escapades for viewers to enjoy. James Warwick and Francesca Annis were brilliantly cast, with superb chemistry together and great depth of character apart. Tuppence, with her vivid imagination and wildly original collection of hats (there are costume changes galore), is one of the most exciting elements of the show, and dapper Tommy compliments her flawlessly. Their antics, from their brilliant detective work to the simplistic entertainment of their playful banter, make the show an endlessly diverting experience to revisit again and again.
The short stories adapted for Partners in Crime include The Affair of the Pink Pearl, The House of Lurking Death, The Sunningdale Mystery, The Clergyman's Daughter, Finessing the King, The Ambassador's Boots, The Man in the Mist, The Unbreakable Alibi, The Case of the Missing Lady, and The Crackler. In Acorn Online's newly released edition of the Tommy and Tuppence mysteries they've brought Partners in Crime together with The Secret Adversary, the 1983 feature-length television film that first introduced Francesca Annis and James Warwick as the sleuthing couple. Thirty years since they first premiered, the Tommy and Tuppence mysteries are as delightful as ever, and compiled into a collection that will appeal to all fans of classic mystery, the lavish era of the 1920s, and the indisputable art of Agatha Christie.
Title: Agatha Christie's Partners in Crime: The Tommy and Tuppence Mysteries Based on: The Secret Adversary (1922) and Partners in Crime (1929) by Agatha Christie Genre: mystery, period drama, comedy Distributor: Acorn Online Format: DVD Release date: January 29, 2013 Provided by: Acorn Media (C/O) Buy the DVD: Acorn Online | Amazon | Barnes & Noble

If you were or a loved one are among the tens of thousands of individuals with a Wright Medical Technology hip implant and are experiencing significant health problems from these defective hip devices, you are among many. Hip implants manufactured by Wright Medical have been shown to cause devastating injuries. The defective design of these devices has resulted in hundreds of revision surgeries, medical expenses and over 200 complaints filed with the FDA. Wright Medical has been named as a defendant in thousands of lawsuits as a result of their failed hip replacement implant devices.
Review My Case
Wright Medical has been manufacturing devices used in joint replacements and revisions surgeries since 1950. In fact 60% of their annual sales come from devices used in hip and knee replacement and revision surgeries. However, these devices have caused major complications that stem from their defective design.
Types of Defective Wright Hips
Defective Wright Medical's hip implants include:
- CONSERVE Femoral Surface Replacement
- CONSERVE Total Hip with BFH Technology
- CONSERVE Total A-CLASS Advanced Metal with BFH Technology
- The femoral systems PERFECTA and PROFEMUR
- The acetabular cup systems DYNASTY, GLADIATOR, INTESEAL, LINEAGE, and PROCOTYL
Injuries Caused By Wright Medical Technology Hips
The PROFEMUR Z system and the CONSERVE Plus Total Hip Resurfacing System have had unusually high failure rates, and can cause a variety of physical injuries and persistent health problems. The most common symptoms of a failed hip replacement may include numbness, swelling, infection, hip or groin pain, difficulty walking, component migration or loosening, dislocation and/or fracture.
Metal-on-metal systems, such as the CONSERVE hip replacement, can cause metal ions to leak into the bloodstream, resulting in thyroid dysfunction, renal function impairment, skin rash, depression, cognitive impairment, auditory or visual impairments, and cardiomyopathy.

Why you should contact Pope McGlamry
Pope McGlamry fought for the plaintiffs in the first bellwether case against Wright Medical for damages resulting from one of their CONSERVE metal-on-metal hip implants. We have a good understanding of these types of cases and the injuries individuals have sustained due to the failure of these implants. Additionally, we have over 60 years of combined personal injury litigation experience that will allow us to fight for you or your loved one to get the compensation you deserve.
If you or a loved one have had a defective Wright hip replacement device implanted, contact Pope McGlamry for a free consultation.

Conference publication
Publication details
Donnet, T & Keast, RL 2010, 'Beyond airport enclaves : insights for overcoming turf wars', 14th Annual Conference of the International Research Society for Public Management, University of Berne, Bern, Switzerland, 7-9 April, IRSPM.
Airports, over time, have emerged as separate independent entities often described as 'enclaves'. As such airports regularly planned and implemented developments within their boundaries with limited inclusion of local actors in decision making processes. Urban encroachment on airport boundaries has increasingly focused the planning interests of airports to consider what their neighbouring cities are doing. Likewise city planners are progressively more interested in the development activities of airports. Despite shared interests in what happens on the either side of the fence line, relationships between airports and their neighbouring cities have often been strained, if not, at times, hostile. A number of strategies and conceptualisations for the co-existence of urban and airport environs have been put forward. However, these models are likely to have a limited effect unless they can be implemented to maximise opportunities for both cities and airports, and at the same time not confound their long-term interests. The isolation of airport planning from local and regional planning agencies, and the resulting power struggles are not new. Under current conditions the need to 'bridge the gap' between airports and their urban surrounds has become an increasing, yet under explored imperative.
This paper examines the decision making arena for airport-region development to define the barriers, enablers, tensions and puzzles for the governance of airport-region development, from a cross-country perspective. Findings suggest that while there are many embedded rule structures that foster airport-region tensions, there are nonetheless a number of pathways for moving airports beyond decision making enclaves, to more integrated mechanisms for city and regional planning.
In providing preliminary answers for overcoming the barriers, tensions and intractable issues of mutually agreeable airport and city development, the research makes a primary contribution to the ground level governance of collaborative planning. This research also serves as a launching point for future, more detailed research into the areas of airport-region decision making and collaborative planning for airport-regions. This work was carried out through the Airport Metropolis Research Project under the Australian Research Council's Linkage Projects funding scheme (LP0775225).

Increasing Security With Chroot Jails
In the world of information security, you have to assume that hackers will get into your network. Whether using a zero-day exploit, sending malicious emails to your employees or taking advantage of poor coding in use on your webpage, attackers are coming for you. Your job as an administrator is to make it as difficult as possible for an attacker to gain access as well as being able to detect and mitigate an attack after it occurs. This is why practicing "defense in-depth" must be an essential part of your everyday thought process. When deploying new services, devices, or applications, you should think to yourself: "If this were compromised, how could I mitigate the risk of an attacker advancing further into my network?" In come chroot jails.

January 5th, The Most Stressful Day of the Year – But It Doesn't Have To Be For You And Your Information Security Program!
Recently I read an article stating that January 5th is the most stressful day of the year. This is based on a number of factors including the holidays ending, work resuming, cold gloomy weather, etc. While I can't attest to whether this is true, I can share a few thoughts if information security is adding to your stress level!

Quick Reference
American architect. He became a leading figure in the Boston architectural world from the time his Athenaeum (1846–9) was built. This, his greatest work, was influenced by Charles Barry's Italianate club-houses in London. In the 1850s Gilman was his associate. During the 1870s he produced several distinguished Queen Anne houses, and some of his later designs shared affinities with those of H. H. Richardson.

Isle of Skye Elopement Photographer
Imagine standing on the shores of a glistening loch, surrounded by majestic heather covered hills and looking into the eyes of the person you love most in this world. Imagine holding hands, saying your vows to one another, deep in a secluded glen, promising to love and cherish each other for the rest of your lives.
As an Isle of Skye elopement photographer, I work with couples at some of the many incredible locations for which Scotland is famous. From the magical Loch Coruisk to the epic Dunscaith Castle, or the mystical Fairy Glen and the stunning Quiraing to the iconic Eilean Donan Castle.
If you want a beautiful set of images which tell the story of your Skye elopement then please get in touch – I'd love to find out more about your plans.

NBC Leaves Door Open for Nudity on The Playboy Club
The possibility is contracted.
Actors on the NBC drama pilot The Playboy Club signed contracts that include a nudity clause "virtually unheard of in broadcast," according to Variety. Don't get too excited, though: The contract's language would apparently give 20th Century Fox TV the right to shoot "graphic scenes" to use in theoretical DVD versions of the series, and avoid upping the nudity on NBC. That said, the clause could also give NBC the freedom "to push the envelope in primetime," should the network really want to. So tune in! [Variety]


text: With a beach that is one of the best around for swimming, surfing, fishing or simply lying in the sun, Croyde is a very popular holiday area. In the village itself there is much to see and do. The oldest building in Croyde is St Helens Chapel in Cott Lane. It was built in the 12th century and is dedicated to the Celtic Saint Endelentia who brought Christianity to the village. Opposite the chapel, in a tiny lane behind St Helens Priory, is the Holy Well, or Lady Well, which was blessed by Saint Endelentia and was popular with pilgrims for centuries.Also in Cott Lane is Chapel Farm Gallery, where local pottery, paintings and crafts can be found. From here, you can walk through to St Helens Priory gardens, where you can enjoy a cream tea in a lovely, peaceful setting.If you are looking for that special souvenir to remind you of your stay in North Devon, every Tuesday Town and Country Markets hold their well established open air market.Croyde also has an extensive selection of accommodation and amenities holiday parks, cottages, guest houses and hotels to cater for all tastes and all pockets. And dont forget a visit to one of the ice cream shops, where your cornet is topped with a great blob of clotted cream!To reach Croyde, turn off the main road at Braunton and head for the village along a coast road with vistas of beaches and surf which dazzle the senses. En route is Saunton Sands with nearly three miles of flat, golden beach stretching away into the distance. It is used all-year-round for watersports.Saunton beach is backed by 1,000 acres of Europes highest dunes in the nature reserve of Braunton Burrows a wild and natural landscape designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest.A little way inland, along the winding B3231, is Georgeham, famous for its association with Henry Williamson, author of Tarka the Otter and Salar the Salmon. The hut in which he wrote is still there at Oxford Cross and is visited each year by the Henry Williamson Society.If you fancy getting on the water, SailCats offer North Devons very own catamaran sailing experience where youre assured of an exhilarating day. Fly a hull, trapeze from the wire and surf the swell in a powerful, performance catamaran with plenty of time to take in the view!Goldcoast OceanfestThe largest single event in the month-long North Devon Festival, the GoldCoast Oceanfest is a freesports and music festival, historically held on the summer solstice weekend, a week before the world renowned Glastonbury music festival.The event showcases surfing, beach football and beach volleyball, paddle racing, surf boats, surf skis, aquathon, kite surfing, MTB trials, mountain boarding, skateboarding and BMX jumping.The Croyde arena has a live music stage and big screen alongside a trade village, incorporating licensed bars and restaurants, adrenalin zones, demos, exhibitions, sampling, simulators and corporate hospitality.The GoldCoast Oceanfest enjoys the support of international brands through sponsorship, while the local government, development and tourism agencies all actively market and promote the event.One of the major aims of the GoldCoast Oceanfest is to grow the ocean sports industry, create awareness for ocean-related causes and encourage corporate participation in these endeavours.As part of a community initiative it has a bigger role to play in the social lifestyles of the keen kids who are stimulated and inspired to get involved in sport by the professional athletes who participate.The GoldCoast Oceanfest was started in 1998 as a vehicle for the global and influential lifestyle and freesports industry and to influence the direction of freesports events taking place on the shores of the UK, while showing the way in event-led tourism, in the South West of England.Since its inception, the breathtaking venues in North Devon have provided a wonderful backdrop for spectators and competitors to enjoy this unique format of lifestyle events. The evolving design, production and marketing of the GoldCoast Oceanfest has led to the event becoming one of the best loved oceansports weekends in Europe.The GoldCoast Oceanfest, now in its tenth year, is testimony to the vision, hard work and dedication that goes on behind the scenes by a small and vastly talented team. The vision from the outset was to challenge the stereotypical surfing competition scenario where, if there were no waves then nothing else happened, except perhaps over-zealous youthful exuberance that may have been interpreted negatively by sponsors and spectators. The objective was thus, to host a weekend of activities that embraced the lifestyle sports concept. Hence, many of the initial aims are still relevant eight years on.VIEW PICTURES FORM LAST YEAR'S EVENT - CLICK HERE >>

The 2014 Logie Nominations Are In
The Block was the big winner at the TV WEEK Logie nominations getting two nominations in the Most Popular Reality Program for both All Stars and Sky High. My Kitchen Rules, Big Brother, and Bondi Rescue have also been nominated in that category. In a stark omission Masterchef Australia missed out on a nomination which is a blow before the new series is about to start.
Scott Cam also was nominated for Most Popular Personality on TV the Gold Logie, and the Most Popular Presenter. Domestic Blitz: The Block To The Rescue was nominated in the Most Popular Lifestyle Program category.
Not that I am a huge fan of Scott Cam but it is great that a reality host/star made it into the Gold Logie category as they are the most popular shows on our TV screens. He is up against Australia's sweetheart Asher Keddie, Andy Lee, Carrie Bickmore, Stephen Peacocke and Essie Davis.
In other nominations related to reality TV Timomatic and Johnny Ruffo have been nominated for Most Popular New Talent. This year there is no Joel Madden or overseas superstar in the mix.
The Voice and The X Factor are nominated in the Most Popular Light Entertainment category going up against Hamish and Andy's Gap Year Asia, Ja'mie: Private School Girl, and The Project.
The Voice Australia is also nominated in the Most Outstanding Light Entertainment category, which is a peer voted award. It will be up against comedies like Housos.
Selling Houses Australia received a nomination for the Most Popular Lifestyle Program alongside Embarrassing Bodies Down Under, Domestic Blitz: The Block To The Rescue, Better Homes And Gardens and The Living Room.
Scott Cam will be going up against Hamish, Andy Lee, Carrie Bickmore and Adam Hills in the Most Popular Presenter Category.
For the full list of the nominations go to TV WEEK's Facebook page or website.
The TV WEEK Logie Awards are held on Sunday, April 27 and will air on Nine.

Is the Logies public vote? If so, the Block may not be such a big winner with the vote been split across both incarnations.
I don't think anyone is surprised the MCA was omitted. It was a really, really bad season with the casting choices. With established series, people want to see a degree of excellence (as in wow they are good not OMG how on earth did they get cast, can they even boil water?)
Not that the Block is immune from poor casting (everyone knows to which couple we refer).
One more thing re MCA-is anyone going to update the MCA drinking game with the phrases everyone loves (or the ultimate list of 'I have never cook this before')?
- 2 brain dead dave { 03.31.14 at 5:31 pm }
Puberty Blues, Fat Tony & Co and Love Child. These were great shows.
Beige Scotty is just a boof- headed embarrassment. The Ma$terchef "winner" couldn't cook chips. ' Nuff said.
- 3 daisy { 03.31.14 at 5:38 pm }
I was going only going to sample Love Child but it caught me with it's authenticity. I am impressed it doesn't attempt to use scandal to draw in viewers. I can really relate to the lives and fashions of these young people. Watching this show takes me back to high school and I can almost smell the 60s. I don't know if I have seen any knee high wet look boots and knickerbockers or culottes yet. Great job, Love Child producers.
- 4 Georgie { 03.31.14 at 5:46 pm }
The MC machine will turn the Logies omission into an elitist promo with something like: "Masterchef Australia is not bogan enough to be selected in the Most Popular Reality Program category".
- 5 brain dead dave { 03.31.14 at 5:56 pm }
Long gawne are the Ma$terchef salad days when Jowl$y was fitted up with a Logie for being the best new talent. Jowl$y's now a fat, cliche bound old dog incapable of new tricks.
Gary should nevertheless get some kind of award for the number of times he can fit the phrase "Ma$terchef Kitchin" into his soporific speeches.
- 6 Isabelle { 03.31.14 at 6:26 pm }
I hope Scott Cam gets it, he really deserves it
- 7 Uel's cannons { 03.31.14 at 8:17 pm }
Vote for Housos! Pauly is the people's poet, a modern day Chaucer.
- 8 Techhater { 03.31.14 at 10:17 pm }
I'm really disappointed that Guy Pearce for Jack Irish and Craig McLachlan for Dr Blake aren't nominated.
Not particularly a fan of any Australian dramas, but these with Miss Fisher's Murders are excellent. Jack Irish being the best of all.
- 9 Andrea { 03.31.14 at 10:20 pm }
Hope Big Brother and Selling Houses do well.
I also enjoyed "A Place to Call Home"
- 10 all happening { 03.31.14 at 10:37 pm }
I really enjoyed "A place to call home ", Andrea, there is so much about the 50's that keep popping up that reminds me of my childhood. It is a bit scary.
- 11 Techhater { 03.31.14 at 10:45 pm }
I have to say the gorgeous Marta Dusseldorf is poppimg up everywhere. A Place To Call Home, Janet King & Jack Irish. I hope she does well.
- 12 Techhater { 03.31.14 at 10:52 pm }
Oops that should be Dusseldorp. My bad 😳
- 13 Ryan { 04.01.14 at 9:33 am }
I find Scott Cam, Asher Keddie, and Carrie Bickmore unbearably annoying, though with Keddie I think it's more the neurotic twitching and other irritating character quirks her character on Offspring has. Bickmore can be a total cow on The Project if she doesn't agree with something.
- 14 Carol (without the e) { 04.01.14 at 12:07 pm }
There are so many great Australian dramas on TV at the moment. Thank God for DVD recorders!!!
I am totally addicted to and NEVER miss:
Puberty Blues – I love those girls like they are my own daughters
Secrets and Lies (nearly didn't watch this as I thought it would be an ongoing / never ending waste of time – ala Lost!! (p.s. I think the mother and the muso are in it together!)
Love Child – Jessica Marais is such a star
Rake – I'm in love with Cleaver
A Place to Call Home – Have dragged my mother into my addiction
House Husbands – It's been waaaaay too long and I want them back now!!!
Fat Tony – I have it all taped and haven't watched it yet… but loved to see some of the original Underbelly stars back on the screen!
I would hate to choose from this list to pick a winner.
They are all brilliant but the one I think I love the most – as it was my era – is Puberty Blues. Those girls are so good at nailing the behaviour of 70's teenagers.
I need another DVD recorder and more hours in the day!!
Hello… my name is Carol and I am a TVaholic!.
- 15 Becc { 04.07.14 at 10:35 pm }
Had such a hard time voting because there are just way to many great shows at the moment, how can you choose?! Cannot wait til the logies, fave time of the year! I'm sure I will be happy whatever the results.
- 16 Helen { 04.09.14 at 10:59 am }
I have to agree with Ryan, Carrie Bickmore is annoying when she doesn't agree with something. I used to watch The Project but even Charlie (who's now left I think) was getting weird and having a go at people like Steve Price. As for Asher Keddie, I think it's her character but as I can't stand Nina I will never watch Offspring – yawn. Not a fan of Australian dramas, usually a bit too try hard, but Puberty Blues is my era so not too bad.
- 17 Carol (without the e) { 04.09.14 at 11:04 am }
I LOVE Puberty Blues. I do not want those girls to grow up!!!
Oh and I was wrong about the killer in Secrets and Lies. TOTALLY wrong. Who saw that coming???
