Currently re watching this on Netflix.
I think it's even better with age.

My business partner has the same hair do as Douglas Reynholm.

I thought you were talking about your penis at first and I think 'my business partner' is actually a really good euphemism for penis now.

The Work Outing is, hands down, the greatest thing I've watched.

I always laugh no matter how many times I watch it.

I had to pull my business partner back from the window once during heavy negotiations to avoid prying eyes n' ears

Matt Berry's hair deserved its own credit.

Now I'm really confused, where you smacking your penis against the window?

Is that the gay musical one?

 

[Stromageddon]

Is that the gay musical one?

I can type this out from memory.

Roy: A gay musical called "Gay". That's quite gay. Gay musical. Aren't all musicals gay? This must be, like, the gayest musical ever made.
Jen: The story of a young man trying to find his sexuality in the uncaring Thatcher years. Warning: includes scenes of graphic homoeroticism.
Moss: Ugh, yuck, no! It's set in the 80's!

The Big Banana, and the Big Prawn... but what about the Big Bogan?

BRENDAN TREMBATH: Some of Australia's best known roadside tourist attractions include the Big Banana in Coffs Harbour and the Big Prawn in Ballina.

The Big Bogan could be next, if the mayor of Bogan Shire Council in central western New South Wales gets his way.

A local priest is on board too.

The proposed statue by the Bogan River would stand over three metres tall and sport a mullet haircut.

David Taylor has the story.

DALE (excerpt from film The Castle): Dad could not believe his luck when he found this place.

He was the only bloke he knew with a holiday home, not a mobile home, a holiday home.

DAVID TAYLOR: That was an excerpt from the 1997 Australian comedy film The Castle.

The humour in the film plays on the self image of Australians, particularly working class Australians.

Well it seems the central New South Wales town of Nyngan in the Bogan Shire is home to thousands of Bogans and it's keen to promote the fact.

The local Anglican priest has come up with a novel idea, to create the Big Bogan.

The Reverend Graham McLeod from St Mark's Anglican Church.

GRAHAM MCLEOD: It's made out of plate steel and he's got a mullet haircut, he's got a big moustache, a cap with the word big bogan, he's wearing a singlet and a pair of board shorts, a pair of thongs and also next to him is what we might say an esky.

And so a person can sit on the esky and get their photograph taken with the Big Bogan.

DAVID TAYLOR: And the Mayor of Bogan Shire has his own take on the Big Bogan.

RAY DONALD: A fisherman for one thing, a chap that likes taking a bit of time off to do fishing, someone I suppose who depicts a bit of a recreational aspect.

DAVID TAYLOR: Despite being called the Bogan Shire and having the Bogan River, Mayor Ray Donald says the town's landmark names are unrelated to the Australian slang, it's actually the name of the native Aboriginal tribe.

RAY DONALD: It has a historic significance as well because the Bogan River's been there forever and the chief of the Bogan tribe met the first European explorer to comes through here, Thomas Mitchell back in 1834, so there's an historic aspect of it as well.

DAVID TAYLOR: Tourists are already attracted to the town for its historic displays.

Visitors are drawn to the railway station museum, the sheering shed museum or the stage coach.

Now though, the final design for the Big Bogan awaits approval from the town's people.

GRAHAM MCLEOD: I know sometimes perhaps there maybe some people in Nyngan who feel a little bit funny about Nyngan and Bogans but it's really to help promote the town, because we're only a small shire with 2,600 people and anything that can raise the profile of our little town we need to latch onto and go with it.

DAVID TAYLOR: Mayor Ray Donald says he's hopeful it will be approved.

At a cost of $8,000, it could be a fruitful investment for the local community.

It's probably not much interest to many but it's fun to read stories sometimes.
My girlfriend and I just got woken up by a guy yelling on his mobile out the front of our house (4am). She heard him first so when I woke up to it she was already monitoring the situation.
He mustve hung up the phone because next thing he's banging on our front screen door yelling at us something incoherent, but we made out "I KNOW YOU'RE SLEEPING BUT GET OUT HERE......."
We were confined to the bedroom because we have an alarm and it beeps loudly before you can turn it off so we weren't able to check through our peep hole in the front door until we were sure he'd left.
We call the police nevertheless and as we're waiting for them to arrive, we hear him start banging on our two cars, hitting and possibly kicking them.
Anyway, the police arrive quite quickly (15 mins after 000 call, and we're up quite far up on the peninsula) and had two patrol cars checking the area.
My girlfriend and I are 20 and 24 respectively so it was a bit of a worrying incident. The good news is there was no damage to the cars and now I'm up in time to catch the FA Cup game.

The moral of the story is to always make sure your home is secure and all doors locked. Could've been a lot worse if we had been lazy last night like we normally are.

TL;DR - There was a guy yelling at our front door step. He soon left, we escaped any damage, and now I'm watching soccer.

Firstly, you put your alarm on when you are home?

Secondly, did the cops catch the guy and what was his issue?

I used to live here by myself and had a break in about 2 years ago. We sleep with the alarm on in all rooms now except our bedroom which has an ensuit. Wouldn't be able to sleep without it on.

Not sure if they found the bloke. Don't think he knew us or meant to be on our doorstep so I'm not too concerned if they didn't but was at ease that they had 2 patrols searching the area.

We used to do that until (I kid you not) a spider crawled over the sensor and set off the alarm.

I can believe that. Every summer I go around spraying behind the sensors. Spiders always hide behind them at our house too.
