Most of Shift and swift (only because its politically incorrect)
And............
Let me think...

<<<<Hours pass>>>>

Ummmmmmmmmmm - that's it.

I love ALL of 'Good News Week'
Thank God You're Here
Sideshow
Rockwiz (okay it's a music show but it's funny)
Rove (20% of it - depends on guests)
Librarians

I find that most of the comedy viewing is American tv anyway especially the new Go channel.

BTW I didn't move to Oz to watch tv

Karen

I didn't either BUT its still a medium we use to get news and mild entertainment.
As for rockwiz being funny..... I think there is something in your water - And they drag out the same old faces for news comedy etc etc

Just downloaded the new shooting stars... a little tired but still leagues ahead. Thank goodness for the ability to download shows from old Blighty.

Ah we obviously have a very different sense of humour since I couldn't stand Shooting Stars. To each their own

Now probably

Oh yes I LOVE The Librarians! And Kath and Kim (which is very difficult to understand the humour if you aren't very familiar with Australianisms, especially bogans).

I agree with you again - when I lived in Japan I rarely watched TV, and still somehow managed to have a great time - shocking!

For the first six months in Japan I watched as many tv commercials as possible. That is how I learnt to differentiate cleaning products and various food items and how to use them. Shopping is very difficult when you can't read the lable.

How could I have forgotten Kath and Kim! I hang my head in shame since I love that too - the original Aussie version and not the US version!

Sorry to hear you are leaving,
But let me ask you this, didnt you know that the heat would be unbearable?

Also, I understand you when you mention not being understood because of your Irish accent.
I have a friend from Scotland who had the same problem.

Aer you talking to me

Yes I knew it would be hot, I have been abroad before, but its a whole different ball game when you are working in it and not on holidays and relaxing lol. I also was very worried about my children and sun burn you can not take any chances at all.

also I said I would not miss the heat I did not say I hated the sunshine or living in a hot country. I have some great memories of Kings beach!

They are not the reasons I left Australia, they are just facts of life you get used to when your over here, I actually got confused for being Scottish my self.
But when you are homesick and I was little things like that can effect you at times.

Are you living in Australia your self?
