"fantasty rooms" i think it was called a room design program with laurence lewelyn bowen who was visiting tiffany glass to give him inspiration for a room he was doing.

Am I the only one here who does not give a *!"^ about Oranges are not the only fruit?

Jo · 10-10-2003, 08:57

Yep, looks like you are.
And remember Tealeaf, although you may not believe this judging from you ceiling, phone and wheelie bin: orange is not the only colour either....  ;D

HarryX · 10-10-2003, 09:16

Never seen the program. In fact I only found out through this thread that there is even a connection with the area...  WHATS IT ABOUT ? When was it on.. how many episodes.. A series was it.. whos in it ?

Jo · 10-10-2003, 09:23

The books the best bet for a starter, then watch the film after it.
It's about a girl growing up in Accy in a penticostal church community with strict parents in quite poor and very restrictive conditions. Can't tell you more or it'd spoil the story - definitely worthwhile though, Harry.

Tealeaf · 10-10-2003, 09:25

I've read that it's about rampant lesbian activity all around Accy in the 1950's - apparently, not many people knew it went on, but it did.

This Lesbo thing really does not interest me, unless of course It's a pair of 20 year olds, one blondie, one brunette, nice bums, nice up top, long legs and they're desperate for a 3 up with yours truly.

Tealeaf · 10-10-2003, 09:26

Eh....are Jo & me on about the same book?

Jo · 10-10-2003, 09:52

Yeah Tealeaf we are. But the "Lesbo thing" is only the outcome of the supression. There is much more to the book than that. It says a lot about Accy is those years and about certain church communities in particular and about being girl in puberty years with no-one to turn to.
Anyway, you just spoilt the end for Harry!

Tealeaf · 10-10-2003, 09:59

Sorry to spoil the end Harry....apparently the book is all about the meaning of life as we know it

HarryX · 10-10-2003, 10:08

The meaning of life eh?  I preffered the Monty Python version of that

This oranges thing has been on Sky.. some odd channel and I didnt take any notice.. I will wait until it appears again as it surely will

Tealeaf · 10-10-2003, 10:13

Yeah....you never know, their may may a sequel...ORNTOF (II)..directed by Quentin Tarrentino....lesbian gang massacres all round Accy in 1960....town hall covered in ketchup...lovely stuff

Think you've drunk too much green tea with peppermint today Tealeaf.
You're rather aggressive - should cut down the dosage! Shall I send you some Camomile??  ;D

Tealeaf · 10-10-2003, 11:12

I'm a gentle soul, Jo.....you know that. Anyway, I'm perfectly happy with Imperial Leather

Jo · 10-10-2003, 11:14

I meant camomile tea silly!! Not the soap!!
Took me a while to get what you were on about there - imperial leather??

Know you're gentle really, you just get heated occasionally on certain subjects.  :-*

Tealeaf · 10-10-2003, 11:17

I wondered what you was on about......I don't get heated, do I?...Is that the impression I give.....I always thought I was just thinking outside the box....and trying to follow it through to it's logical conclusion
