Orange Juice Snobbery: On a Not-Quite-Meeting of the Minds
http://orangejuicesnobbery.blogspot.com/2010/03/on-not-quite-meeting-of-minds.html
Monday, 22 March 2010. On a Not-Quite-Meeting of the Minds. Recently I've been trying to get a job. One job I tried for required me to be a good speller. A lady rang me up and said, "I'd like you to do a quick spelling test on the phone. Are you ready? OK, first word. You can write them down if you want. Parallel.". Oh good, I thought. I passed word number one. But maybe word number two would be really tricky. Then finally it clicked. Umm, was I supposed to spell 'Fabulous'? 24 March 2010 at 9:29 pm.

Orange Juice Snobbery: Credit Card Whingers!
http://orangejuicesnobbery.blogspot.com/2009/10/credit-card-whingers.html
Tuesday, 20 October 2009. I saw this whinge. About credit cards in the paper recently, and while I'm usually not a huge fan of credit card companies, frankly, why can't some people accept they are the idiots? From the reporting, it seems that while the perfect day might have been ruined it might have been because certain people weren't that smart. Maybe it is a good reason to take a credit card away from them. Say they've been caught out too. Now, in my opinion it's just good practise. Hell, if someo...

Orange Juice Snobbery: The Karate Kid Remake
http://orangejuicesnobbery.blogspot.com/2009/12/karate-kid-remake.html
Wednesday, 2 December 2009. The Karate Kid Remake. I'm really sorry I can't share the pics of this remake with you, you'll have to go to the website to see them, but I have just found out they are remaking the movie. The classic cheesy original featured Ralph Macchio. Pat Morita) jumps the bullies. Mr Miyagi. Becomes his karate mentor and teaches him techniques unconventionally, as well as about honour and self control etc. And so he ends up one-upping the bullies by the end of the movie. Kid, possibly p...

Orange Juice Snobbery: Good luck to my tote bag!
http://orangejuicesnobbery.blogspot.com/2009/11/good-luck-to-my-tote-bag.html
Thursday, 12 November 2009. Good luck to my tote bag! Just the other day I was on my way to an interview with a recruiter. I was standing at Gordon station when a very non-obliging bird decided to swoop down UNDER THE SHELTER mind you and drop faeces on me. On my tote bag, that is. I checked carefully and it didn't get my clothes, and the only bit of me it got was my hand (the hand that was placed on my tote bag). Is this meant to be an omen? Will I get a job with this recruiter? Same thing happened to m...

Orange Juice Snobbery: The Making of A Legend: Gone With the Wind
http://orangejuicesnobbery.blogspot.com/2009/11/making-of-legend-gone-with-wind.html
Thursday, 19 November 2009. The Making of A Legend: Gone With the Wind. One of the great things about being unemployed is that you can sit back and watch TV shows you wouldn't be able to watch if you were at work. (I can't watch TV much at night as my Dad dominates the telly with his endless reruns of Law and Order.). Today I saw a show I'd taped,. The Making of a Legend: Gone With the Wind. I'm an official Gone With the Wind junkie (see the link on this site to the GWTW. I knew, of course, that GWTW.

Orange Juice Snobbery: The Forgotten Mums
http://orangejuicesnobbery.blogspot.com/2010/03/forgotten-mums.html
Thursday, 18 March 2010. Just recently someone mentioned to me that the Today Show (Channel 9) did a story on mothers. They referred to 3 categories of "Mummies":. Sportish but stylish Mummies and what they referred to as. And continuously referred to "Slummy Mummy" in their show. Apparently yummy mummy is meant to be favourable and slummy mummy is not meant to be so. Crummy mummy (hopeless mummy). Dummy mummy (stupid mummy). Chummy mummy (mummy who's also your best friend). Mummy mummy (embalmed mother).

Orange Juice Snobbery: It's all in the victim ...
http://orangejuicesnobbery.blogspot.com/2009/10/its-all-in-victim.html
Tuesday, 6 October 2009. It's all in the victim . 2DAY FM Vile Files. They have " been accused of routinely exploiting children and the disadvantaged for ratings". Blurts the Daily Tele . Which is where I ponder, if you 'exploit' a middle aged, able-bodied, white, rich guy, is he even exploited? Or is he unexploitable ? And also, arent ratings reliant on listeners? Should not the listeners of these radio shows take a share of the criticism? 7 October 2009 at 9:55 pm. 8 October 2009 at 10:32 am.

Orange Juice Snobbery: An Even Darker Side of Mary Poppins
http://orangejuicesnobbery.blogspot.com/2009/11/even-darker-side-of-mary-poppins.html
Sunday, 29 November 2009. An Even Darker Side of Mary Poppins. Earlier this year, I suggested that Tim Burton direct a Mary Poppins film. Which would show the darker side of Mary Poppins. This was suggested to me in a dream and I'm still convinced it could work. Now, let me see, how exactly would it work? I'm picturing Jane and Michael and the twins a little older now, and both are pot-smoking, cocaine-doing hired guns. Jane: You see, Michael, I got this theory. Michael: What's the f*ing theory? Michael:...
