   Did Jacob really say “I’ve been to the university of life?”

   Bloody Bank’s proxy has forbidden access to youtube. The first time ever the bank has caught up to the 21st century and it’s not letting me see LCI:Preston… ggrrrrr!!!!

   Ed, can you do a CD for me?

   Gotta hand it to the Lachlan Connor series. It keeps surprising on the upside. Love the new boyfriend character. Brilliant acting by Heather just watching the madness unfold by the BBQ. Can’t wait for episode 100. Have you considered an assault on Tropfest?

   That Heather needs a good…

   Heather’s face-acting during the BBQ scene was superb. Problem was, with me (short-arse) on the camera shooting Heather (short-arse) and Jerome (over six feet) I struggled to include much more than her head in the shot.

   Re Tropfest: GrodsCorp has an audience many times greater than that piddly little “festival”.

   Glad to see no resentment there after they didn’t shortlist Fool’s Code!

   That is the best face-acting I’ve ever seen. And I loved Heather’s t-shirt.

   Plus, there’s never enough mushroom on the bbq.

    Excuse me, jLo, is it? That was not acting.

    I am going to have to speak to Lachlan about “Ed” uploading snippets from our lives in this manner before he even has a policy platform to profile. I bet it was one of Jacob’s bright ideas.

    BTW Jacob, if you are reading this, you can say whatever it is to my face instead of on this website. You’re so childish.

    Lachlan has my vote…he’s so right about the mushrooms.

    Not such a flash piece really. and definitely not worth the time it took me to download it.

    Would it have been better if Jacob said “cappuccino left”, Iain?

    Iain, I often feel that way about your blogs, and I’m on high-speed broadband

    Would it have been better if Jacob said “cappuccino left”, Iain?
    Well that was in fact not what I thought was wrong with the piece. I do understand the problem when you try to get a great deal of stuff into three minutes of video but I felt that way you had drawn Jerome was overdone all of that education and all of that experience from someone that young did not add up to me.
    Also those to camera comments by Jacob and Heather really clashed with the narrative, especially when it appeared that Jerome and Jacob were sharing a meal immediately afterwards. And you have a continuity error as well as Jerome is with out his glasses in the last scene.
    You seemed to be overdoing Jacobs bit about him being unable to pronounce “Aboriginal”. I think you were trying for comedy but it seems to me that you were trying far too hard. I have not seen any other episodes of this little project but I won’t be rushing to do so either it is rather like your blog posts; fragmentary and trying to play to your gallery. But subtle is not your strong point is it Scott ?

    Troll-boy you really do need to do some research on the difference between Mormons and Jehovah’s Witnesses. In any case you are not obliged to read my blog but I was asked by Scott on Three occasions to watch this vid

    Wow! It’s like getting done over by both Margaret AND David all at once. How many stars, Iain?

17. 

    Sunday 7 January 2007, 11:41 am #Iain Hall

    The thing is Scott all film or video needs first and for most a good script, sadly lacking here. The acting is rather woeful as wellthe chap playing “Jacob” is totally cardboard.
    I’m sure that your motto is why use a hammer when there is a sledgie nearby…

    Stars out of five? Hmmm maybe one for the effort as it is after all a good idea, just fails on the follow through.

    Sunday 7 January 2007, 11:56 am #The Editor

    One star for effort! I used to get those kinds of scores in primary school so it looks like I’ve still got it.

    BAM!

    I’d love to have you on board as a script consultant, Iain, but unfortunately I doubt our budget would cover your fee.

    Given the fact that you and your troll mate think that I am some kind of internet Satan I’ll do it for you if you sign over your soul to me… No money involved :o).

    By the way, Iain, I’ve added your praise to the main Lachlan Connor, Independent page.

    If you want to play that game then here is one I prepared earlier..
    Ask Scott

    Hi Scott
    just a few questions about how you and your friends relate when you get together what is your favorite way to chill out?
    Occasionally they will show up after a session around the bucket bong or wild-eyed, trembling and chattering at light speed.
    I understand that you have shall I say it “waterworks issues” can you explain how that affects your life?
    After another case recently of … taking a piss at the bar I’ve got to thinking. Am I the only person on earth who… think it normal to flop it out and urinate where I stand (pub, casino, supermarket) rather than find a toilet? T…here is no alternative.
    I understand that you are training to be a teacher can you give us some thoughts on that? Do you get close to your students?

    The Editor is going away on a teaching placement to an aboriginal settlement called Anangu in deep outback South Australia for three weeks and hopes desperatley that things will be back to normal when he gets back on May 23. Please use this time to peruse anything that works on the site and maybe fire off a few nasty emails to “Da Shop” on our behalf.
    Anyway,touched a 15 year and 10 month old girl’s breasts with her consent, . But now, in the climate of fear over paedophelia this “oustanding teacher”, as described by his principal, staff and students, has lost his job and had his career, and probably life, destroyed.

    Wow that seems like a bit of a downer so I suppose it means you rely on centerlink now?
    “I’m on Austudy but just didn’t receive it last fortnight.”
    So what are some of the current higlights of your career in hospitality ?
    James and I were counting down the last hour before close on a Saturday, mop and broom in hands. The bosses had gone home and boredom was setting in. What a brilliant time to experiment with interesting combinations of food in the blender.James and Dishpig’s excellent chocolate death drink:-
    Two scoops of ice cream-
    One slurp of vanilla syrup-
    One slurp of chocolate syrup-
    One slurp of caramel syrup-
    One chocolate brownie-
    One generous handfull of Tiny Teddies-
    A dash of milkBlend until smoothish, drink what is possible and eat rest with spoon. Sit down, beat struggling heart with fist, resist urge to spew and complain bitterly about never wanting to drink this beast again.
    So your boss is OK with you stealing food from your workplace?
    T…here is no alternative.
    

    Every quote here is linked to it’s source :o)

    Still waiting for you sign over your soul…

    How long did it take you to put together that sorry load of shite, Iain? A good hour or more would be my guess. A wasted hour it was too, then again that would be an appropriate metaphor for your current life

    Im sure The Editor would love to have you on board as a script consultant seeing how you have a degree in Drama from Queensland Uni. I wonder what your mate David Tan thinks about drama degrees, then again that is another matter. Channel Seven and Nine might be in the market for a new sitcom about a man who sends his wife off to work and spends the day blogging and building little cars.

    Troll-Boy
    it took me 40 minutes

    Scott you get a star for putting it up mate
    And because you such were a brave boy I will reward you by letting your comments out of the moderation bin ;o)

    Getting comments onto Iain Halls blog is like jumping the Berlin Wall….. into East Germany.

    What are do you have a hankering for a Trabant Troll-boy ?
    Come on reveal what you drive… I bet it’s some FWD hatch.
    You have what, three readers including yourself and how many comments in total have been posted at your sad excuse for a blog ? a probably less than thirty would be a fair guess. I have had about 3000 including the haloscan ones that I will oneday re-link to the posts they pertain to.Only Malicious Wankers like you are excluded.
