My first thoughts were the contradiction (although I now see there is only an indirect link) between Bjelke-Peterson and the words Physical and Culture. And "Baby Love" meets Hitler Youth was a bit much. <BR/><BR/>We had my daughters first Irish Dancing concert on Saturday. And at times I was watching thinking, this is just a bit funny. But now I see that the stirring chorus's of Riverdance have not a patch on the weirdness of "Fizzie".<BR/><BR/>Thank you for expanding my cultural awareness.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00275471428731828826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21988256.post-88185513661627533792007-07-23T11:56:00.000+10:002007-07-23T11:56:00.000+10:00lol - This is great.
