Timing is everything when you approach a stand up comic...in the sense its best to be wanting to laugh.....for whatever reason.....your life is ready to bust wide open and laugh/cry! I have had those experiences not because I necessarily actively sought 'stand up' but for one reason or another you discovered them.......a bit like the 'old school one night stand/ ships in a night sort of thing'. You some how magically end up wondering the next day....'Did that really happen?"

Dave CHAPPELLE and I hooked up one night...and for a while found myself a 'slave to his rhythm'! Same too with Richard PRYOR....now I do believe he took my cherry when it comes to 'stand up' one night stands that bloomed into avid lust for more! Robin WILLIAMS took my breath away while he drank 36 glasses of water through his 3and half hour HBO special...and that was in his more senior ventures.
Ricky had his way with me for sure...and i admit ....loving his touch!

Every now and then there's a comic who will just throw you under the shower and push you hard up against the cold decollage tiles that echo the endless joy of your guilty pleasures. There have been many others but of some I speak with more reverence than others.................. Viva the laughter that lifts you from despair!

Yes, an interesting piece of history, cheers. So I assume St Kilda was traditionally a working class area where lots of immigrant communities settled?

On fact Jews first came to Shepparton. Then there was migration into Carlton in the 1930's-40s. They then eventually moved to caulfield /East St kilda. But as homes are have sky rocked now people are moving out bentleigh, Carnegie, parts of Frankston etc I moved to Heidelberg

He got cancelled after sexual assault allegations. I think he might have found a pervy comedian to fit with your aroused post.

Most Stand Up Comics are 'pervy' to use your vernacular? Surely you could see the arousal was not with content but the art form itself.........the imagery was about the art form not necessarily the subject matter......again in the BF vernacular Like Duhh! (In the context of EILISH's Bad Guy, Duh!)
Again perhaps its my failure as a communicator...Oh Well...LOL!

I used to love the Sheherezade back in the day. It was like you were in Eastern Europe, surly waitresses throwing your food at you with a curious mix of disinterest and spite. You'd go to the Galleon and they'd be too nice to chatty for a hangover, those tough old Polish women were much more my style.

I would love to visit Australia someday; spend a good amount of time travelling across the country. It would require a lot of time and money, of course.

Travelling from Broome to Darwin via the Gibb River road (colloquially known as the camper killer due to hundred's of kilometres of corrugated red dirt roads) in August.
Taking two weeks in a converted 4WD rough camping in swags and tents (for inclement weather). Look it up on a map nearly 2000k's

Contrary to most expectation (as per the tipping on the AFL cite) where 12 to zero tip the BLUES over the PIES....I would have to say the PIES have more than a chance.....BLUES are hardly infallible ...so I find it interesting! As far as we are concerned the SAINTS would benefit from the PIES doing their thing!
I guess hoping doesn't make it so but my senses are definitely tingling at the idea!

Interestingly from my POV my DAD a total BLUES man! My Grandpa and my sister MAGPIES...So I'm always interested! This time...sorry DAD where ever you are but its the time of the FILTH!

Anyone interested in improving their Brain with the view to sustaining it into latter years of life.

New Scientist offers this Brain course....If i was smarter I could probably afford it but I cant!
Anyone who might easily afford it might have the magnanimity to share same for all dedicated SAINTS followers, although that may indeed preclude us from qualifying regardless.

I can make you smarter just by telling you that these things are marketed well but usually are a total waste of time.

No offence... but you couldn't possibly make me smarter! LOL! But yes fair enough! However, I have found N.S particularly enjoyable and many of their publications excellent!

The Essential Guide series are brilliant...got them all and don't regret it at all. They are quite inexpensive though. 1. The nature of reality...2.Artificial Reality 3.Life on Earth...4. Human story .5.Quantum Physics 6.Evolution 7.The Human Brain. 8. Climate Change 9.Nutrition and Diet 10. Einstein's Universe. 11. Life on Earth.

The sure fire way to creating new synaptic pathways is keeping an open mind, daring and dreaming! Just like children do!

I was being a smart arse. New Scientist isn't a dodgy publication. It's probably very interesting.

Remember you are talking to a guy that regularly emails museums about his "amazing discoveries"...

I love that! Hey I realised as such that's why I ploughed ahead with information you probably had no interest in knowing! Don't worry I sincerely believe you get what I am generally on about....I admit I can have a convoluted way of getting there but I never worry that there isn't at least one person that isn't at the very least, sympathetic! You have a particular gift at moving amongst the range of interests and abilities on the forum! Great work!

I knew that old testament was bullshit.

I bet it was actually the Golbourne river that Moses parted.

RIP Ray Liotta! One of my all-time favourites who played a part in my all-time favourite film.

Very sad news

Goodfellas?

Yes mate, have read the book the film was based on too (Nicholas Pileggi - Wiseguy (book) - Wikipedia). I'm a sucker for true crime, 60's/70's/80's and gangster flicks so this had it all for me.

I also loved his role in Blow with Johnny Depp, but since my old man died I can't watch that film anymore without getting choked up during one of the final scenes where the son (Depp) records a audio message for his dad (Liotta) before he goes to prison for life.

And he was the voiceover for Tommy Vercetti in GTA Vice City which was a big part of my early teenage years.

News today took the wind out of me, really shocking and sad stuff. Loved him.
