I don't think you'll be able to hide from Brenda's camera but that would make for a funny photo Vicki!

No I'm not watching it - but I understand it is HUGE in Britian - people arrange their lives around when it is televised - and have dinners to group watch it.

I am guessing Channel 10 hoped for that sort of success. I'm not into gross humiliation to entertain the populace.

No MKR is my only vice for reality shows

[Paul]

MKR, The Block and all those reality nominated shows - personally, I think watching water boil is more interesting, as such, I don't watch a lot of tele these days.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I tend to agree Paul; but that's just my opinion:) I love to read over watching the box any day:)

I'm with you Paul and Brenda, at least till the footy comes back.

OMG - so hot today. I'm melting. Got the fans on, doors and windows shut, cold Diet Coke by my side, cat sitting on another chair beside me demanding to be petted...

My sister lives in the UK, and she said it is huge there. Apparently they send their celebrities to far north Queensland... Lol.

[K]

That is correct Leonie. I lived in Zurich, Switzerland for a year in 2005-2006 and we had channels from the UK and 'I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Outta Here' had already been running for a few years by then.

[Leonie]

I watched it tonight while answering my emails. I wouldn't call it very exciting.

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

I watched QI and then Mad as Hell. Both were funny.

[Leonie]

I think I would have been better off watching what you watched Phrynne. I don't understand the fascination with the other program at all.

[Liam || Books 'n Beards]

I love QI.

Really? North QLD? How cheap is that?

Good morning EBs :D

Looks like everyone else slept in this morning Bette!

You can't do BOTH!!! I'm shocked. I can read and watch TV. Hubby always accuses me of not paying attention to the TV but can point out crucial plot points better than he!!

Love them too Phrynne - another ABC show on a bit earlier is Would I lie to you - very funny

I most definitely do both Sally!!! When I watch the news that's exactly what I do:) But with other programs, I just choose to read over watching the box!!! lol

I've started a 30 day trial of network nine's online streaming service Stan. I'm liking it. A variety of shows etc and I can watch them when I want to watch them without having to record. Loving 'Better Call Saul' and 'Transparent'. Some great BBC shows on there too.

[Ryan]

Better Call Saul is so far living up to Breaking Bad's standards, the latter being my all time favourite show.

[★ Jess]

Only 3 episodes of Better Call Saul have been released but its already a surprisingly well-formed show. I was angry when the last episode ended because I wanted more, its just fantastic!

[Regina]

I must admit to being afraid that Better Call Saul wouldn't live up to Breaking Bad (spin offs usually fail), but so far it is living up to it and in its own right.

Sorry Michael, I couldn't get onto a new topic :)

Thanks Michael! I've added it to the GR database from Random House Children's Books site:)

I need to get on that shiz. I love Saul.

"This never-ever-before-seen picture book by Dr. Seuss about making up one’s mind is the literary equivalent of buried treasure! . . ."

Geisel died in1991. I wonder if this is his work or is by someone hired for the project.

My wife and I Loved the books as much as our children!

You're right - as usual.:-) This is from the SMH online:

"While undeniably special, it is not surprising to me that we found this because Ted always worked on multiple projects and started new things all the time – he was constantly writing and drawing and coming up with ideas for new stories," said Audrey Geisel, a vigilant keeper of her husband's legacy, in a statement.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Thanks for sharing that too Ian :)

[★ Jess]

Haven't heard of the show but was in the garden tonight. Love that place, love thus time of year in Adelaide!

Liam, you sent me searching thru Urban Dictionary for 'shiz':)

[B the BookAddict]

Boy, I am so late this morning, but Good Morning all! I have a rotten dose of the flu, annoying because I do have the flu shot every year:(

That's no good Bette. Hope you are feeling better soon.

And the definition for 'shiz' Bette?

[Ryan]

The shiz, or shiznit or shizzle, just means something excellent.

Sorry to hear Bette! Look after yourself, relax with a good book :)

It's VERY wet here at the moment - and I'm only in Brisbane! I don't think it's stopped raining all day so far - I hope everyone out on the roads takes it easy - there's sure to be flash flooding with this amount of water around...

Me too in Brisbane. This rain is serious. I am wondering how clear the roads are going to be when it is time for me to go home from work.

Be careful everyone. Stay safe.

As a law student I aspire to be just like Saul.

My brother and his family have been in the Gold Coast on holidays for this week. They went home to Ipswich yesterday in preference to staying until Saturday, just in case. He said it rained all the way home then too...

Take care everyone..especially far north Q'ld:)
