Check this out, she says with a grin.
We were watching Spicks'n'Specks tonight. Grace had just arrived home after 3 days of being a truckies offsider with her grandfather. (It was a handover thing - her brother is going tomorrow. Meanwhile, I haven't even BEEN in the new truck, Ivy the Iveco Stralia. I think I've said before that it's like the bloody space shuttle. It's automatic, FFS! But the kids do regular truckie-offsider gigs during the school holidays, they get paid $10 a day for helping to open & close the curtains & whatnot, and they love it. And I think their grandfather loves having them along, too.) Anyway, as I was saying...
The 'contestants' had to identify a piece of music played by someone who also didn't know what it was, on one of those 1970's keyboards with numbers corresponding to the keys.
'Hmm', says I. 'It's classical. It rings a bell...'
'Oh, DER,' says Grace. (Insert strong heavy male-type-singing-voice-here.) 'It's a big ad, expensive ad. It's the Carlton Draught ad!'
I felt both horribly stupid and immensely proud that my almost-10-year old daughter knows a beer ad so well.
Just don't tell DOCS, okay?

LOL Not sure what comment to make... Im still waiting for my Top gear to be returned .. daughter says she not finished with it!!! and no I am NOT purchasing 2 a month!
Reminds me of the NSW hEalth ad, with the guy holding a full beer, and calling out to his son to 'grab Dad another beer, will ya'. Kids learn from the examples avail to them.
Ahhh, my work here is done, I need another beer now.
My word is similar to patchouli, what's that mean again??
Hi there Malibu, I know I have your direct email addess, but I'd like to use this forum to confess my undying love for yous.
Hello, Malibu??? mS Stacey, r u stl ther?
Bloody hell, Benny, are you drunk???
(My word is jbelz which makes me think of Jezebel. Oh dear.)
Yes
Just to provide Ben with an audience - after all, what would be more discouraging for undying love but a forum unnoticed?
Of course, little Shrink in Me would like to know what set off this peculiar bit of self-reflection of Ben-the-Man. A lack of birdies closer to home, [name I can't say for fear of being called Brigitte]?
Sigh. Feeling a bit melancholic myself - it's been a week since Benny mailed me TG-OZ, but it's still not here. Yearn, ache and another sigh.
Thanks Annemarie, I do love an audience.
Hey, check THIS out !
Am checking, can't seem to figure THIS out. Is it you pole dancing? Naked?
Well... I think I'm missing something here... I kept clicking on THIS and got nothing.....
I got similar results, Anon. I guess we'll just have to keep updating our mental picture of Benny until he discloses THIS to us. Which he won't, 'cos he's too busy chuckling over his own ingenuity. If that is a word. Malibu, our Godess of Spelling or what was it you were called back in the MOS days?!
You're kidding, my link didn't work? Ohhhhh welll. Malibu what's up with this site???
