Evo... you going to break out the fake tan and walk around with your shirt off?

Looking forward to having everything i have always said about the Shire being confirmed in film to be archived as reference material for ever and ever...

The Shire on Channel Ten

[Evo]

shit i was wondering what those cameras were doing in the park yesterday. thought it was just another wedding. Where is it you live now Chuck? Shire right??

it was time to leave the shirt on 20 years ago Chuckie but would take it off to kill that show. Why? It will be my nephew and his mates...I just know it. fark

You know how much it will dent the Shires ego?...as much as Sylvania Waters did. No matter how bad it is...and we all know it will be....the kids will love it and all the jealous chucks fucks will make it rate the roof down.

I'm so proud

edit: rumour has it that South Cronulla is ceding to Wollongong

[chucktheskiffie]

i always said the one place i would never live would be the sutherland shire... and look what happened. How things change.

Looking forward to it... Fake tan, fake blondes, fake tits, but you know the ugg boots are real!

[Evo]

never say never chuck....next you'll be like Todd Carney and dragged mindless out of the Casbah a few times

[grabbler]

Not so fast my friends....

Mayor's ire over The Shire

"I told them we are going to do everything we can to stop them," she said.

"I just don't think this show will support us it will not help us, it'll just be very negative... I said to them I'd put a boomgate on the Captain Cook Bridge and Tom Uglys (Bridge) and keep them out."

[DtM]

Pil is very quiet on this one.

Maybe he is the porn star they are talking about !!!

[Evo]

Hey wreck...hope yer spring is springing mate.

We can't compete with the Shore....they'd have to move it to Ramsgate/Brighton for the full on ocker Snookie. Bimbos and Bogans aplenty here in Cronulla mate. Different breed. more like this....

Channel Ten is planning a ''nostalgic'' TV series of Puberty Blues, the cult 1979 novel written by Sydney teenagers Gabrielle Carey and Kathy Lette. This is welcome news for all of us who grew up with the book and its unapologetic account of adolescence. At a time of sanitised American teen literature with whimsical titles such as Forever, even the blunt Aussie title, Puberty Blues, was a revelation. I remember smuggling the paperback on a camping trip, being sure to read it balanced in my lap to avoid the eyes of my teachers landing on its cover.

The book remains a compelling artifact of Anglo Australian suburban beach culture, which Lette describes as ''tribal and brutally sexist''. Those who are panicked about the current state of the sexualisation of girls, and girls' early sexual behaviours, should read Puberty Blues to glean some historical context. Hopefully the TV series will also prove an accurate reflection of this history. The 1981 movie of the book, directed by Bruce Beresford and starring Nell Schofield, is a cultural gem, depicting with great poignancy the lives of the proto-feminist girls who finally get bored of minding their boyfriends' towels and take to the waves to surf themselves.

But as Lette complains, the film sanitised the plot by omitting central references to miscarriage and abortion. The movie depicts a culture in which gang rape is incidental, mindless violence is amusing and hard drug use is fatal, but it was unable to address the consequences of the brutal sexual economy in which the girls must exist.

Kathy Lette is, however, confident that the coming TV production of Puberty Blues, with which she is involved, ''promises to reveal all . . . acne, shaggin' wagons, abortions and burst condoms''.

More than 30 years on from the film, perhaps the realities of sex will be able to be explored more fully.

Apparently the series aims to expand the storylines of the book, to give us a ''taste of the politics of the time and the shifting social attitudes''.

The peak year for abortion politics and the struggle for abortion rights in Australia was 1979, with mass demonstrations staged by women to maintain the threatened public funding of abortion through Medibank.

The year should provide a fertile political backdrop for the sensitive treatment of abortion, should the producers be bold enough to go there.

Ha!!...the Alley boys will be infamous all over again....sheesh. Gotta remember that while it was made in '82 the characters written about were in high school during the early to mid 70's. Mostly from Caringbah High School

This probably wont translate, but it cant be helped.

1. Norm's offspring are from over the Bridge, where they vote red and white; they wouldn't know dogshit about how the Shire ticks.
2. Sylvania Waters is like a human ear grown on a mouse's back. Locals would as soon live there as on Towra.
3. So, there was no detriment from that TV show.
If you walk out at night, take protection, or leave your Shark's beanie at home.
4. Its been downhill ever since Cored Joy, what were they thinking?

Carol is Peter Provans' widow......They've had a waterfront on Neales Inlet Yowie Bay since I was a tacker.....directly opposite our old pile. Carol is a hard arse and long time shire real estate agent who doesn't want to see property values diminished.

[Evo]

they're like a big spring roll...cabbage and stuff in them. Rumored to be capable of surviving a nuclear holocaust and still be edible. Cheap aussie fast food of pre-MacDonalds days along with "dogs eyes" and "it's a long way to the tops".


....and real chokkie milkshakes. from here

There's nothing like "dogs eyes" I suspect. Here in the Philadelphia area we have something equally revolting called "Scrapple", it tastes just the way it sounds.

dogs eyes are getting better these days....all gourmet and stuff

My apologies.
She who protects the Shire's assets rules.
Sylvania Waters and all.

[dreadom]

We are forbidden from calling it Sylvania Waters in front of my dad. To him it is still Gwawley Bay.

Fucking priceless!

[yowie]

Its only a bit of geography.

The actors are, of course, just reflecting the thinking that locals rule the beach, and for no other reason than they live closer to it.
These are the guys who motivate their 'subjects' to return by night, scouring side-streets for innocent Hobbits to hospitalize in what has become a decades-long get-square.
Priceless indeed.

From NineMSN:
SPOOFED!
"First it was local Sutherland Shire councillors fighting the Network Ten show The Shire, then NSW and federal politicians got involved.

Now producers are trying to distance the program, currently being filmed, from a slickly produced video purporting to be freshly "leaked" to YouTube - but it's actually a spoof of the show.

The five-minute clip features two young men talking about the area and its attractions.

The two are keen to clear up misconceptions the TV audience may have about the area.

"We get a bad rap in the Shire, they say we're not accepting of outsiders - not true," one says.

"We accept many different people from many different places - Melburnians, Queenslanders, South Australians, and even people from Perth."

With a guide to the region's slang and assurances the Shire is "cultured", the pair also sing the praises of the Shire's nightlife, especially the popular club Northies.

Blog site www.tvtonight.com.au reports The Shire producers tried to get YouTube to take the video down, but it was soon reinstated when its creators assured YouTube it was all original material." Fri 30 3 2012
