Paris Hilton

 The Spice Girls


Yesterday's post about the Kardasians remined me of two incidents from over a decade ago about Australia.

The first occured when I was taping some shows about Bondi Beach for a lady I knew at he tme. In ne episode, there were flocks of teenage girls swarming around a celebrity; when the reporter asked a lifeguard if he'd heard of Paris HIlton, he said "Naah, who the f### is that?"

The other incident happened here in Bristol, when I used to go to folk club meetings. One night there was an Australian singer called Alan Kenny who ended his first act by saying in Oz, we have a saying "You have to be posh to suck Becks." He couldn't understand why the room flled with laughter.
What he meant was you have to be rich to afford Beck's beer,

I had to explain the relevance of the term here in the UK.
Posh was the nickname of Victoria Adams of the Spice Girls, and her boyfriend David Becham was known as Becks, So, despite their world tour, the girls didn't mpress the folks down under.

I am offended again

 The lady is NOT my type Though I am olde, and have standards, I am not a stic-in-the-mud, it does take someting nasty to offend me, and for the second time it has happened.  As with the first incident , the offense involved a young colored lady with larrge breasts, I have nothing againsr coloured ladies, I wasbot offended by this laady asking to see my penis as soon as we chatted, it was a little weird she was so forawrd when she'd only been chatting a few minutes to ask. What I found offensive, again, is she assumed having large reasts, and in her case an oversize bottom was what I like In short, she has nothing of interest for me..

 eBay extension Over the coming month, I hope to start selling some of my Warhammer Limited Edition books on eBay ; I did this some time ago with a little success. Many of the books are also signed, I never covered the cost I paid, my thinking is I may as well get something back as I never read the books, and there maybe someone who will read the book .
