Dear David Gallop

Dear David Gallop,

Mate! Well the NRL has had a rough few weeks and I think it's time people forget the bad i.e. the Sharks racial slur, how unattractive some of the girls chasing the League players are and pub brawls and focus on the positive sides of the game i.e. Craig Wing, Issac Luke and the entire South Sydney Rabbits team.

I feel they should be given back the money they were asked to pay after breaching their salary cap as basically you just need to look at these boys and the requirements:

1. Waxing
2. Personal Trainers
3. Sexual and Non Sexual Massages (I personally apply for the sexual massage position Rusty Crowes Feet)

This team is so lovable and deserves full praise for avoiding sex scandals and public urination and I would like to change this. I am putting myself up for a South's Sydney sex Scandal if they require one for more press, as I feel I am the only slapper in Sydney who has managed to avoid an NRL style sex scandal.

You don't need to waste airfares to NZ (I am in there neck of the woods), I will not turn around 7 years later on the ABC's Four Corners program and I will definitely not ask for money to cover this up as I will be filming and enjoying the whole experience.

If you would like to line this up for me I would be most grateful.

Keep the dream real mate!

Regards,

Andrew

A Night full of Musical Theatre - Chicago

Chicago


Lyric Theatre, Star City


Sat 23 May 2009





Well the men and dancers in the show are definitely the best part, especially the sexy Daniel Slater:


Now to the show, the songs were great, the set was average, Gina Riley was average, Craig McLachlan was awful & Caroline O'Connor was just bliss to watch!

The show was basically one sexy romp which is great!

The show becomes a little tired in the second act but is definitely a lot better than the film (as I hate musicals on film, remember Dream on Girls!).

Chicago rates a Jazz Hands three stars!

The Woeful World of Dissocia

The Wonderful World Of Dissocia - Sydney Theatre
Fri 22 May 2009

Well as you can tell by my title I renamed this show to a more fitting title the Woeful World of Dissocia!

This show was colourful and extremely weird in the first act and then bleak, colourless and almost liking taking a Valium and feeling your entire body lose all senses, all feeling and basically lose the ability to shit or piss.

This show was on par with how awful Sydney Theatre's "Convicts Opera" was last year EEEEHHHHHH I am still recovering from that experience.

Another show (Jerry Springer - Nathan Foley) with a children's entertainer this time Justine Clarke is on stage swearing and trying her hand at an adult roll, and let's just say I felt like the person who wrote this may have watched too much Play School.

This show really has made me question how FAB I think Cate Blanchett actually is!

The show rates a woeful 1 star.

Top 5 @ 5 - Fri 22 May 2009

1. Peaches - Mommy Complex (and various cuts from I Feel Cream)
2. Bliss N Eso - On Tour
3. Art Vs Science - Parlez Vous Francais?
4. Kidda - Under the Sun
5. La Roux - In For the Kill

Bowled over by Shane Warne the Musical

Wed May 20 - Enmore Theatre

Well the big night arrived and so did the stars from television's Underbelly & more ABC stars than what have graduated at Summer Heights High.

The Show itself was actually really enjoyable, the first act was very amusing however the second act seemed a little long in parts but the Bollywood number definitely was a crowd pleaser!

Overall Eddie Perfect with his shirt off was a little off putting in parts but he is a musical genesis.

Shane Warne the Musical is running for the next few weeks at the Enmore theatre and is definitely worth a look in if you like a few rude words and a good laugh.

Warnie rates a very Australian 3 stars.

What the Frock!

GO the BUNNIES

Beating the Tigers 23-22 @ the SCG, fucking top shit mo flipper!

Little Birdy hit all the right notes

Little Birdy, Metro Theatre Wed 13 May 2009

Their new album Confetti has just dropped and by all accounts it's up there as one of the best Aussie albums of 09!

Little Birdy followed a band who I can't seem to make my mind up about, Oh Mercy from Melbourne.

Katy came out and belted out their radio favourite (and personally one of my songs of 09) "Brother". The blazed through all three albums playing hits like ":Come On Come On", "Bodies", "Relapse" & More.

The set was terrific and so were the new tracks!

This really could be Little Birdy's year to shine!

Definitely a band to watch and definitely a tip for the 2009 ARIA Awards if and when they are on.

Little Birdy rates a Tweetiffic 4 stars!

Film Freak - Defiance

Nazi's are invading the cinema's literally WTF!!!!

Daniel Craig's new flick is a true story of life during the war and yes about the holocaust.

The film mixes action, drama and the horror of the war well in this 137 minute war picture.

Edward Zwicko directed the fine Blood Diamond and The Last Samurai and really seems to be quite the decent director, he could however have allowed Daniel Craig to take his shirt off a little more!

The film was great however a little long (films should be a max of 90 minutes please!). Defiance rates a defiant 3 stars.

An Open Letter to Hugh Jackman

Dear Hugh Jackman,

I was a huge fan of yours back when films like Paperback Hero, Swordfish and appearances on various Australian television.

However recently I have been quiet disappointed particularly in Australia the movie, I have not yet seen the film however Nicole Kidman is known to give me extreme nightmares resulting in bed wetting (not a good habit at 26 years of age).

I also sat through Wolverine over the weekend which was quiet disturbing and I still really don't know what the point of this film was.

I was also wondering how you got so many muscles and know for a fact if you waxed your chest and lower adomin your body would look much more defined.

I would really like to see you to return to form or maybe join Russell Crowe in keeping the almighty South Sydney Rabbitohs afloat.

I wish you all the best in the future and hop my next letter to you will be more positive.

Regards and best wishes,

Andrew

Film Freak - Wolverine

Open letter to Hugh Jackman coming soon.

If interested in my thoughts on the movie it rates 0.5/5

Bottom 5 @ 5 - Tue 5 May 2009

Hi Guys,

Usually I give you my top 5 tunes of the week however this week there is a huge pile of crap in the charts and here is in my mind 5 of the worst:

1. Flo Rida - Right Round (Dead or Alive beat your heart out, this is simply embarrassing)
2. Beyonce - Halo (EEEEEHHHHHH Beyonce your ballads SUCK!)
3. 3OH3!- Don't Trust Me (WTF? Is this for real?)
4. Nickelback - I'd Come For You (It's kinda a song I would sing to Craig Wing but still not my cup of tea)
5. Wes Carr - Feels Like Woah (Will Wes Carr win an ARIA in 2009, NO)

Comedy Festival 09 - Sugar Sammy

Wow I was actually really excited about seeing this guy, and he didn't disappoint!

He was very amusing both bashes Penrith & Parramatta LOL post code comedy is so amusing!

He paid out on the white folk, the ladies and the coloured peoples in the crowd, literally no one was safe.

He did however get to a point of the show where he seemed to lose his place but other than that this was a highly entertaining hour with plenty of filthy language and sex talk (my type of guy).

He did Canada proud and rates a sugar filled four stars.

Comedy Festival 09 - Danny Bhoy

I never was much of a comedy fan until now and I must say I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought.

Danny Bhoy was in fine form after a massive regional Australian tour.

He came out with some good local cracks and some very fine story telling.

He is also not too bad looking which always heaps when there is only one person on stage.

Danny Bhoy made me laugh and really was a good Tuesday night surprise.

Danny BHOY rates a surprising 3 and a half stars
