"you've still got the gun" line. Spew, barf, puke, gross me out etc. Shoot me all of you if I ever even think of saying something like that. Ok , deal, but, um, how will we know you are thinking of saying it? Do you think that would be a valid defence in court? But your honor, she said to shoot her if she thought of saying it and I swear she looked like she was thinking of saying it. I could see her foot lifting up the back there while she gazed into his eyes and fondled his gun...Embarrassed for entire gender for that line Oh yeah! Count me in for a red face. Come on woman! (Christie not any of our refined girls) Get a grip, and don't think he grinned because he liked hearing it, it was pure shock that you would say that. And Don't think he kissed you because he was warming to your verbal foreplay, no no no, he was trying to make sure nothing more came out of your mouth. There I said it.
Okay, okay, he's a bloke, maybe he bought it, just a little bit...Matilda ] Ok very funny Ashatan. Can anyone tell that Ash and I may have got to know each other a bit? I just thought the line was pathetic. Not referring to the sentiment my friend. Tilda |

What in God's name are you people taking about? Ask Ashatan. She is the one havin' a big Mervin. Hee hee. Sorry Barb this is Oz slang - don't want to be exclusive but it might be a tiny bit rude for some reasonable people's tastes - PM me if you require translation darls. Happy to translate when and if required - it's not really rude, just requires translation! Cheers Matilda |

I think we all will since a majority of us are American, and we have Germany, Denmark, Scotland, Canada and sorry if I've missed anyone else.

Anybody got one?  |

When Clay Simmons says that the wine is "too oakey for my fat Irish tongue" Ewwww! Saying it to a female co-worker is bad enough but to say it in front of her spouse, a spouse he had just met for the first time that same evening? I don't know about Jim but it always puts a bad picture in my head.  |

When Clay Simmons says that the wine is "too oakey for my fat Irish tongue"e He's a gross character - what does that ie quote above actually mean? I've often wondered, and what's with the Irish thing? Cheers Matilda |

Cheers Matilda I am not a wine connoisseur by any stretch of the imagination so I will have to leave that (the oakey business) to someone more knowledgeable. I assume that Clay is of Irish descent and that he plays it up on occasion, ie being Irish equates to not having a sophisticated palette? Come on, if you don't like the wine just say so! I've never been sure who he is trying to impress with that line, Christie (that she has better taste than him) or Jim (that he's a regular guy). |

I think he's trying to come of as someone who knows a lot about wines. Many wines are matured in casks made of oak and if you are a wine connoisseur you can taste that. Or, like me, the first (and only) time I had Cognac I shocked everybody by announcing; "Yuck, it tastes like wood" Apparently it was a fine Cognac and you are supposed to be able to taste that it was indeed matured in an oak cask But even thinking of Clay's fat Irish tongue makes me want to puke <shudder> - Chris  |

Well that's what I thought so thanks - self-deprecating maybe but a really odd thing to say. So while barfy, good writing in context cos he's such a creep? Chris, don't worry about the cognac. I've done far worse with good food and wine, believe me. And then there was the time my significant other got tickets to the Member's Stand at the Sydney Cricket Ground to watch a Test Match, complete with meal in Member's Dining Room. Gee ... did my ignorance show that day! Cheers Matilda |

Okay, back to the thread!  It doesn't constitute as a line, per se, but the dance sequence at the end certainly wins the Barf-Fest Award!!! |

I wasn't impressed with the whole dancing thing, anyway... but that storyline reached a new low with that ending. Christie's dress was... ick. Looked like cheap nylon or polyester with trim. And the scene went on for far too long. Plus, why was it in black and white? None of Jim's other bits of imagination were in black and white so, for me, it seemed to go against the style of the rest of the show. And... no. I'm saying nothing more, because if I, this will become a rant!  Another thing I found... well... not barfy, exactly, because it was probably in character, was Christie hanging up on Jim when he suggested pottery classes. So... not barfy, so much as jarring. There was Jim, trying to come up with ideas for something they could do together... trying to negotiate with her, and she went right ahead and booked dance classes without any kind of consultation. She complains he doesn't talk to her, but it seems to me that she doesn't talk to him, either. (And, again, I'd better stop, or this will be a rant.) Krissie |
