Its a MOVIE. Movies have been made about historical figures before this. ITS A MOVIE.. IE: The Reader, Bambi, The Deer Hunter, Exodus....Well, God, yeah, there's some material. Let's look at ourselves. Hmm..not pretty. Germans (ordinary folk like me and you under a bit of patriotic stress- which seems to be normal these days- ) voted for Hitler. I'd like to hear his story. God said it would be OK. He is making a MOVIE peeps. Its a MOVIE. Movies have been made about historical figures before this. ITS A MOVIE..

]]> Comment on Bad outing – good outing by SKW http://alex-wilding.com/2010/01/bad-outing-good-outing/comment-page-1/#comment-278 SKW Tue, 19 Jan 2010 16:09:14 +0000 http://alex-wilding.com/?p=907#comment-278 As Alex's companion in this outing I must add my perspective: Opera House Studio show was booked by me - part of the "Sydney Festival" I said. The exact reason for this festival leaves Alex unsure. "Oh, local and Overseas stuff from Northern Hem's Summer I insist. It probably is. Anyway. Gorgeous summer evening. Any excuse to get out of the house,take One, I say One, simple but air-conditioned bus ride down to Circular Quay and wander the foreshores of the Icons - oh for heavens sake, the Bridge the City the Opera House and The Harbour - duh. The usual romance, entertainment and a bite to eat. Could it be simpler? Well I suppose I must take part of the blame. We'd been to the Opera Bar before. Had a drink. Chilled. I saw the tasting plates and the impressive list of 'exotic' beers. It's true, if you want Le ChillOut DrinkiePoo View-Wow before the the Event-Thing the location just could not be bettered. The Piazza in front of the Pantheon - yeah, Ok.. So, anyway. Alex wanted to wander on...out of the noise, out of the crowd..perhaps to the cafe selling sandwiches and prawns in plastic trays? Oh hmfvh snort, I said. I had Googled Chillout DrinkiePoo (with tasting plates for two) View-Wow and we were there. Look! There's table 197. My take? Al Restaurant can have an overload. Only Sydney restaurants actually give you back chat. This is NOT charming. My HUGE criticism with the place was having to listen to a server walking around swearing about a co-worker in the dining area as if the only others present were her fellow servers. Big black mark. Gorgeous place - shit service. What an old Story. Bout the only one we've got. As Alex’s companion in this outing I must add my perspective:

I've had similar experiences...though with a daughter, not a dog. Perhaps easier to convince a dog, than a child, that one's lap, during one's morning recitations, is not a suitable place to park? Is Nougat a greyhound? Hi, Alex-

Switch to Macs. When I had a problem with some MS Office software, I found Mac customer service open when MS customer service was closed, PLUS Mac CS helped me with my MS problem! Not sayin' this would happen every time, but there is a HUGE difference in company philosophies and customer care. There is a very simple solution to these kinds of problems. Switch to Macs.
