Idol Speculation
I don’t watch Australian Idol, because I hate the over-ornamented vocal style that is the current vogue. However, I’m well aware that a lot of people really enjoy watching the performances, and that a lot of kids dream about winning the competition. So this week’s speculation that Assemblies of God churches are using bloc voting [...]
Friday Hoyden: Miriam Margolyes
“I am rather an opinionated person I suppose,” Nothing I could write could do justice to Margolyes the way this transcript from the interview she did on Enough Rope does, although the simple transcript doesn’t give you the sense of immense warmth and engaging facial and hand expressions that coloured the interview. In particular, in [...]
Sandilands, you’re a prat.
[image credit: news.com.au, capped by me.] So shock-jock Kyle Sandilands is a complete pillock. We all know that. He’s always been a pillock, he’s not funny, he’s a bigoted, nasty little twit.

Friday Hoyden: Ella Fitzgerald
“I know I’m no glamour girl, and it’s not easy for me to get up in front of a crowd of people. It used to bother me a lot, but now I’ve got it figured out that God gave me this talent to use, so I just stand there and sing.” “The only thing better [...]
