Lets be real about this. Speedos are condemned because out of shape people sport them. The majority of men in this country have a “average” looking body. But a good proportion of these average looking people choose to sport speedos.

Now how many guys complain of a young attractive woman sunbaking topless on the beach? But if the woman is “average” they cry foul.. Same deal with speedos..

I say if you have a body which isn’t flawed, wear speedos and the public will love it.. but if you have an average body you are at the mercy of the public ridicule…..

Sonia: not the content – the narcissistic style. Which is why it’s so infuriating!

Welcome back! News from the Greek and loving it front has been sorely missed. And, you’ve done it again – identified a new trend: Identity theft perpetrated on unsuspecting parents by young children. It’ll be awful to live like this but you must purchase a safe and put in it all credit cards, cash, passports, Video Ezy cards and drivers’ licenses. Expect that things will turn ugly when your children heavy you for the security code. Do not hestitate: Ring 000. It’s not your fault that you gave birth to a frightening new criminal element. Good luck.

Oh to be listening to the radio! I’ve just returned from a road trip up the coast to visit my family with the kids. Hours on the highway, kids firing off cap guns in the backseat, long forensic type visits to public toilets and observing wildlife, mostly road kill. Back home and discovered that the children have bought rare lego collections from the U.S on Ebay. Now – to avoid bankruptcy.

I like Speedos. I even brought my husband a pair once. He was complaining that his pats nearly fell down on the golf course and that his underwear wasn’t up to scratch so I bought him a pair of lurid orange and green Speedos made from fabric that was kind of furry. They were also very revealing. Their first outing was on a cement beach promenade and it was there that a nursing mother hid her infant’s face in a towel at his approach. Corruption can occur at any age.

Hi Errol – you seem to know a lot about RN for someone who doesn’t seem to enjoy the content. Advice – change stations.

Trust RN to get into the blogging just when everyone else is over it. The humour here is laboured, like so much of the rest of Radio National.

Dear Man In Grey – What a wonderful message of hope!
‘Gloom porn’ – how evocative! What clever friends you have – what smart circles you mix in.
Because my stories are very much SOLUTION-based, I’ve had a close look at your five survival tips. I CANNOT fault them but that’s not to say I wouldn’t order them differently. Just a matter of priorities.
But, all-in-all, congratulations! (Even if you saw this coming and converted your future to cash some months ago).

Dear Miss KJ

With the nervy hand wringers grabbing all the headlines (Doom Porn, a friend of mine calls it) I turn to you as someone made of stronger stuff for suggestions re: one of the great events on the Australian calendar (please consult your local diaries) – yes, we’re talking (NSW,ACT only)? Long Week End – and what to do in the these troubled times? How can red blooded Aussies send a message? Get in touch with what we used to call Reality?

In the club last night some of us jotted down a few ideas on a coaster – the list is far from comprehensive, but I submit it for your perusal.

Surviving the Crisis on the Long Week End:

1. Bake a cake

2. Buy a weekender in the South of France (check out the prices – they’re cheap as chips – Jean Pierre my French real estate friend assures me: October, is the time to buy, buy, buy)

3. Al Fresco Rooting (this sends a message to the Fed – shows Aussie confidence)

4. Buy a red sports car and drive through the night to FNQ, pausing only for cigarettes and fine wines.

5. Run for Parliament (not as silly as it sounds, so many people are leaving, there are plenty of vacancies. My only tip would be: Aim high – and in a couple of years you’ll be Premier)

As the late great Paul Newman once said: “All it takes is a bit of confidence.”

I have to go – another nervous nelly has set off the Evacuation Tone.
