"I'm cold. ...And my feet are wet." Because you have *Australian shoes* in *Canada*, Paul. :)

Parents are annoying me again. Case in point; the man always used to make me turn over whatever I was watching so he could watch the six o'clock news. The six o'clock news is sacred.

Earlier:

Dad: *watching recorded rugby*
Me: *Twitter reminds her she's following what's going on in Iran* Dad, it's time for the news.
Dad: I'M WATCHING THE RUGBY.
Me: ...Okay?

I would've actually really liked to see the news; it's repeated at ten but they'll be watching something else then. Or you know, sleeping on the couch while 'watching' something but I'll get yelled at for stealing the remote and turning it over. To watch the news. I don't know either, except that he's been a pissy little girl since I got home. Maybe it's a midlife crisis and he can't afford a Porshe to take it out on.

...Mmm. Maybe I'll watch Lost in Translation later. I should really take a break from Tom Ward and Silent Witness or MI5 are going to start wondering why I have such an interest in forensics (because one of these days, Harry and Nikki are going to finally get it on and I'm going to be there to witness it dammit. I mean, to watch the episode. Yes.

I haven't considered writing Silent Witness fic. Honest).

In the meanime I watched more Paul McDermott on youtube, since the people at GNW haven't seen fit to upload the podcast yet (I am bitter! Totally!) and decided that his crotchface routine* is even funnier when you have the sound off because a parental is in the room. Incidentally it's rumoured that the woman he flops over at the end is, in fact, his mother.

And my parents think they have problems with me. Hah hah hah hah.

He is rather distinctly adorable interviewing random people at the Montreal Comedy Festival though. I'm pretty sure we watched this while I was at mayakitten's but thinking about it is making me nostalgic for Canberra so now I'm going to go play on The Sims 2 (I have no money for Sims3. Woe!)

Also no damn supermarket over here stocks Tui beer**. I couldn't even find rice crackers which boggles the mind because I know they used to sell those here. I forgot to check for TimTams but that's three strikes and they're out, I'll be writing them off in favour of Australia. Bah.

* I do genuinely want to know if anyone's ever grabbed... what's being, essentially, offered. I would be so, so tempted depending on who was sitting next to me (for example, if I was with parentals then I'd probably die of embarrassment. If it was mayakitten, yeah I'd cop a feel because it's Paul McDermott and she gets it.

If I was there with chickybee32 I rather suspect I'd forgo grabbing in favour of simply undoing his trousers. Hey, he's offering...).


** I've tried ASDA, Tesco and Booths. Next up: Morrisons. Stay tuned.

I know either asda or morrisons used to stock VB.

[clo.livejournal.com]

Oh VB is everywhere. I had a one-sided yelling match with it in Tesco because it wasn't Tui and I'm bitter that the first beer I actually like is apparently obscure and impossible to find. *wistful*

[redfiona99.livejournal.com]

When you said Tui, I did wonder if you meant Toohey's but then I realised that there is more to Australia than the beers that I have been shown by one Paramattan.

[clo.livejournal.com]

Ah, Tui is from New Zealand but every. single. Aussie. I mentioned it to thought I meant Toohey's. Don't tell them but I liked NZ beer better than the Aussie stuff. ;)

[redfiona99.livejournal.com]

They do sound similar :) I shan't tell a soul.

Did you have the Steinlager while you were in NZ? I speak as a proud central European - that stuff is as good as the Czech stuff.

Remember in less than one week you will be in London away from the evil parentals!

[clo.livejournal.com]

Hurrah! I'm so excited to be back in the Flat of Awesome! :DDD

[kindoftrouble.livejournal.com]

:DDDD

If your train gets in after 6 I can meet you at the station and we can go to Ask for dinner. And then you can cook to your heart's desire for me. :p

[clo.livejournal.com]

I don't get in until 7:13pm so that sounds awesome. :D And after that I will definitely be cooking because cooking is cheaper! :) Unless I can find kangaroo somewhere in London...

[kindoftrouble.livejournal.com]

Cooking is a lot cheaper! And fun. Apparently there is kangaroo at Walkabout but I've never been there so I don't know. But I am totally sure that somewhere in London has kangaroo.

[redfiona99.livejournal.com]

Which Walkabout?

I swear I once spent an entire weekend in London where the longest I spent outside of various Walkabouts was three hours for sleeping.

Okay - that first asterix postscript has me laughing so hard I have actual tears. Yes! *flails*

And yes we watch the Montreal thing. That was on the night of the Great Popcorn Incident of 2009 I believe - they had it on instead of GNW.
