If it was the American version, wash your mouth out with Velvet Soap.

The Edward Woodward version was great. Sick of remakes.

Thanks, based on your review I will avoid it.

It was. It seemed like fun at first, but gradually you realised that it wasn’t fun at all.

I met John Marsden when my son stated at his school Candlebark and got to know him over the 6 years of my son’s high school education, including the first 2 years of John’s second school ’ Alice Miller’. A great person, author and teacher.

Cartoonist Michael Leunig has died age 79. Put a few noses out of joint, especially in recent times. Did some great work.

Definitely the end of an era.
Recall my own discovery of his at times quirky work in the Nation Review way back, as a young teenager.

RIP Michael Leunig.

Might go buy his calendar today at the newsagent.

I hate Fairfax but I think selling out his calendars this year would be a nice send off.

Plus he loves animals.

Great cartoonist Michael Leunig

RIP
