The breakfast radio diaries 020: Vote one sausage in bread

You'd think by now, this many early starts into it, that I'd finally get the hang of the 'Sunday night sleep into Monday morning routine' but no. I'm sure I was awake for most of it, dreading both the cat performing a rendition of her wake up dance (which she didn't) and fearing the alarm not working (it worked just fine, that was just unwanted Sunday paranoia.)

Still coffee and water got me through and across this Monday we talked everything TV, found out when we've got to vote next and you guessed it, gave away another cheesecake!

IT'S ALL POLITICS

I'm not going to pretend that even a tiny part of me has an interest in politics. I could count on one hand the number of politicians I'd like to have a beer with and still have enough fingers left to flash up the number five very clearly. I see one side says something and then it's up to the other parties to shit on that idea in the most public way possible, pointing out the previous failings of the people behind the idea and of course how they'd do it much better, were they elected.
And that's my political knowledge right there, wrapped up in a sentence. 

So my interest in May 21 and the upcoming election amounts to: a) Where I can get a free sausage in bread for voting and b) avoiding a fine by not doing so. Years ago I was invited to an election party and after running out of drink early on in the piece, I wondered what the hype was all about. A close call in the Hooberstank district? That calls for some Doritos! One side could lose a seat in the shire of Bungonloona? Who had that on their election bingo card? 

Still, it'll give us plenty to talk about in the lead up. Especially if the Prime Minister or opposition leader drops by for a chat. Maybe they'd like to play the Free Money Minute or try to win a cheese cake for party morning tea?

THE WEEKEND CAME AND WENT

And when you ask on Facebook 'What was the highlight of your weekend?', expect plenty of responses. Fans of the show camped, checked out some live music (the gig for Ross Wilson yesterday turned out to be a cracker), watched the footy, got out and about and when it finally stopped drizzling, enjoyed some nice weather across the Border.

Me? Well after finishing up the mattress store outside broadcast, I went home and decided to do nothing. Which worked quite well actually, mission accomplished. Okay, a little lie there - I didn't do completely nothing. A bit of airbrush painting in the shed, sorting out some tools, I worked on a mower and lifted some weights. Not the most exciting of things to relay live on air, but hey we can't all have action packed weekends all the time.

HEY HEY, HO HUM

We learnt of another Hey Hey It's Saturday Show coming up, Hey Hey 100 years or something (strange name I know given it hasn't been on for a full century but I believe it stems from two 50 year specials). And I will admit to watching it (dad wasn't much of a fan) as an early teen growing up. I loved Red Faces and Dickey Knee but as the way of things, I grew out of it. I vaguely remember the comeback show (whenever that was) but none of the episodes after that. Did it have another reincarnation after that? I'm not sure.

But it's back again, a big highlights show as part of Easter coming up and as Molky told us, one of a few Hey Hey specials on the way this year. May be one for the die hard fans but a pass for me. (There are only two things that would have me reconnect my aerial back up in this - the AFL grand final if Richmond is one half of it and The Melbourne Cup if I'm at home come race time.)

TOMORROW THE SHOW GOES TO THE BINS!

So picture this, it's rubbish bin day. Only because you've had a big week entertaining, or gardening or maybe even attempting to dispose of a body, I don't know, your bins are beyond full. And you've still got a couple of bags and bits you need to get rid of.
When that happens, is it okay to use your neighbours bin for the excess? 
We're going to put this to the Border tomorrow as a quick poll and I expect a lot of responses either way.

For the record, I say no. Otherwise I want all my tip fees back from the years I've been adulting.

But we'll find out tomorrow!

Chat then
