Well, he looks kinda pink, which means exposure to the sun... Cattle farmer.

A Marseillaise writes about Ed Kuepper (born in Bremen, BTW): "I asked that question to Ed in the podcast...he joined just to modestly play guitar on Nick's songs for the Summer tour...no more !"

Bremer are a far superior class of German to the Bavarians.
Will report end of June...
You're away then, right??

[Kounelaki]

Yup. Otherwise, I would have made the trip.

[kook]

Pity. Next time!!!!

apparently Cave was asked to write the sequel to Gladiator and apparently rejected for being too over the top, especially in the way he dealt with Masximus being dead.....

choice bit:

In Cave's script, Maximus' character is reincarnated after a meeting with Roman gods in the afterlife. The script then has him reunite with his son, before being given the power to live forever, adapting to a number of new roles that see him fight - and survive - in World War II and the Vietnam war. In the final scene, set in the present day, the character is seen working in the Pentagon.

Such deep and prosaic insight can only be expected of one so erudite and evolved as Russel Crowe.

"This American woman asked me for a decaffeinated coffee. In New Zealand in 1986 if you asked for a coffee it was a teaspoon of Nescafe. I come over here and suddenly I'm faced with long black, short black, cappuccino, coffee latte. And decaffeinated. So I take her a cup of hot water. And she says 'Russell, this is just boiling water,' and I say 'Lady, when we decaffeinate something in Australia we don't fuck around.'"

There is a scene in a Steve Martin movie LA Story where folks are sitting around at a restaurant asking for elaborate coffee drinks. This was before the idea caught on around the entire country. It was a good laugh at the time.


"I'll have a half double decaffeinated half-caf, with a twist of lemon. "

So much better than LA Story.

I gto season 1 for cheap - and it is terrible. I knew I remembered good things about that show.

[Kounelaki]

I couldn't find the LA Story bit on YouTube.
