Do yourself a favour and start watching Curb Your Enthusiasm from the beginning.

Funnily enough, with all the talk of the final season I was about to commence this journey in any case.

Lewis and Funkhauser were the highlights of that show. Remind me never to be funny in Curb Your Enthusiasm, seems it’s bad for your health.

He was also in a TV series with Jamie Lee Curtis in the 90’s. From memory l only ever saw a couple of episodes.

The best character in curb who didn’t get nearly enough, nowhere near enough airtime was gina Gershon as the larry- infatuated dry clean store worker.

Absolutely stole the episodes she was in… It may have even been just the one, but she should have been a recurring character.

Which is what I have done lately and haven’t regretted it at all. Up to S5. My God it’s hilarious. I must admit that Jeff’s wife Suzie is just about my favourite character on the show, she is brutal.
Sad to see Richard Lewis pass away though, he was a great character on the show too…R.I.P.

Very sad. A good bloke who provided much joy for others on his cooking/bike travels with Si.
Loved their shows and have a couple of their recipe books.

Linda White died yesterday, and many would have no idea who she was.

Labor Senator from Victoria first elected in 2022; a thoroughly decent hard working person, who I had the privilege to call a friend.

Many here bag politicians, but you could never say anything bad about this Lady, died at 63, far too young.

Well, that sucks.
Ship of Fools, All Come True and Whole of the Moon are some of my all-time favourites.

Yep, genius songwriter. Ship of Fools more relevant now than it ever was.

Oh, the lyrics all three of the tracks I posted are just as relevant now as they were 25+ years ago…
