Things that please me - Part 6

We got upgraded from premium economy to business class on a MEL > LA flight back when V Australia was quite new, so we weren't loyal customers or anything. They didn't even tell us we'd been upgraded, they were just profusely apologising that their pyjama supplier hadn't delivered and we...

It was a weird time for me it came out but I f***ing love Priscilla. Watching it for the first time in a couple of years.

 

[Gough]

I look back now and I think it probably had more impact on my values and my politics than any other film, tv show or piece of music. It's also why I think we often underestimate children and their capacity to understand things.

Where are you watching it? I was going to check iView this week, I think they often put it up to coincide with mardi gras.

It's on Amazon. I used to be Adam, now I feel more like Bernadette.

It's also on Stan and SBS on demand

Will definitely be watching it this weekend

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

oooh now I wanna watch Priscilla again

 

[nobbyiscool]

Everyone should celebrate Mardi Gras by watching

• Priscilla - free on SBS
• Pride - free on iView (based on a true story)

 

[Gough]

Pride is an awesome film.

 

[Gralin]

Yeah pride was a good one

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

I loved Pride!

Also, To Wong Foo is an absolute classic.

Thatcher's response to uppity queers like that was Section 28. That's why we danced with pure joy at her long, painful, dementia addled demise and it was still more than the bitch deserved.

When you turn on the tv and just witness gold.

I never watched the Jimmy Fallon show in my life but here it is- Bill Murray and co having a chat about Ghostbusters. They just showed the entire group doing their own version of the title track. Murray having a grand old time

I've done "Never Been to Me" karaoke.

Camping with my daughter. She saw her first wombats last night. She made very excited noises and talked about then for ages. Very sweet

Wombats and platypus are the best

I’m from WA so we don’t have the little platypus

We travelled through Tassie for about 6 weeks in 2010 and i was obsessed at trying to see one
Was getting up at dawn. Going to very remote spots .
Saw 3-4 from memory but they seem very rare

They are so cute .

I'm in suburban Melbourne and occasionally you hear of them in the river near by

It’s hard work from what I know but very worth it
Others might have a different experience and find them easily ?

Had a kangaroo at my parents house on Xmas morning one time. I of course missed it

No shortage of Roos where I live
Hundreds of them

The ones with white face markings are cool
They look like aboriginal face paint when they have a corroborree

Used to see kangaroos frequently on the way to and while visiting my grand father. Mostly hold experiences, some not so

Spoiler

(not great seeing dead ones)

Up at my schools country house there was one on the property. I wandered down (not far I'm not dumb those things can be dangerous) to see it, was legit 50M away from it.

It starts panicking and headbutting the fence to go thru it.

I'm like

It finally jumped over it after about 5 headbutts

I love those little guys

Seeing them in the wild instead of in a zoo or sanctuary is so different. It makes them more real, or something. Also a great teaching and learning opportunity.

We took our grandson to the beach and while we were in the water a dolphin surfaced quite close nearby. He talked of nothing else for ages.

5 days in a row down the s.
Having a swim in the sea so refreshing.
A lady with 4 small kids asked if they could pat one or all the dogs.
I said yep that's fine.
Was good seeing kids that young/little not scared of big dogs.
