Congratulations, Emma! That's fantastic. I must admit to wondering why all the congrats on Twitter. Now we know. Represent!

I used to own a pair of "fuck me" black stilettos. Well, sometimes they were "fuck me" shoes, and sometimes, they were "love my legs in these" shoes. I like the versatility of clothes and I'm eternally grateful not to be at all attractive to men who find this whole situation confusing. Very annoying.

I would love to go to Merediths for the degustation menu - I dream about it. And I have tried several times for Molten and am always offered to go on a waiting list. I think not. Going for lunch might be the go, I think, Bart.

I was looking at the list and was a bit suprised to see I'd only been to about 10 of the top 50. Soul is always a favourite - the service is outstanding and the food is always top drawer. They do this deconstructed prawn cocktail thingie which defies description. And a couple of my friends and I always go to SPQR. Last time was a couple of weeks ago and they had a splendid lunch special on - $27 each for a couple of starter size mains. Vey nice. And I do like the servers there. Very friendly, not at all up themselves and unobsequious when "famous" people are around.

That's what I was thinking, Sof. I have a couple of friend with mums a bit like mine....

Love you too, beautiful girl.

Well done, you lot. Craig, you get a big mwah from me. xxx

My mother is a one off. She's neither sweet nor lovely, nor made of any sort of win. She's abrasive, critical, rude, sarcastic, and utterly unconscionable. And I love her to death. She's a great writer, a loving granny, and an ace crossword solver. She wouldn't know "I love you" if it hit her in the face, but she adored my Dad so much that it's been to her detriment in the almost 5 years since he died. After 45 years of marriage, the only person on this planet who made her feel safe and loved was gone, and she didn't cope at all well. She's okay now, and our relationship is closer than it ever was before Dad died. I wouldn't have her any other way. Though Danielle's mum would be welcome to adopt me temporarily anytime, and I wouldn't mind a crack at being A Gracewood from time to time.

I liked your article, Damian. It was wellwritten and covers an area of the drug biz that isn't talked about a lot. I don't agree with their lifestyles but I appreciated the dealers' honesty about how hard it is, when you're struggling, not to go back to it. Crimes does pay, just not in a long term way, obviously.
As for alcohol - I agree that perhaps they should have the age at 20 for buying from an outlet, and 18 for consumption in licensed premises. I do remember having my 18th birthday at the Kiwi Tavern on the corner of Symonds and Wellesley Sts and it seemed stupid at the time. I didn't drink but my mates did, and so we were all completely illegal. But then that was the Kiwi - it specialised in alcoholic bartenders and serving under-21's. -
Now, I'm pretty sure that most people know I love reality TV. I remember all the Flatmates etc thingies, but tell me? Which was the one where they were all locked in the house and they couldn' t get out, and they had to play game for privileges? That one was surely pre BB?
