After ACC Ch7 broadcast something called "The Book
Place". I don't know if anyone has noticed, but
there's an enormous worm on the show... and the
strangest thing of all is he has all the mannerisms,
the voice, and even the appearance of Alexander
Downer! It's true!
(Note to OS visitors: Downer is an effeminate,
greasy, smarmy Australian federal politician -
currently minister for overseas lick-spittling.)
As far as I know, Downer lives in Adelaide. "The
Book Place" is filmed in Adelaide. So, can anyone
tell me if they've seen bookworm and Alexander
Downer in the same place at the SAME TIME? No?
Are you thinking what I'm thinking? :-)
Chris.
(PS, I think the Goanna on "The Music Shop" was
Alexander Downer too.)
