Yes; I like him.
I presume you are upset because he is being spoken to about being a 
nutritional coach for Essendon?

In the past, I had watched his show on the other channel, but after a 
while it became very, very repetitive. I was rather surprised when the 
ABC took him on. No new ideas, just poach whatever they can.

In any case, I find the show very light on content and I usually have 
far better things to do.

I can overcome my preferences in hair/beard styles if the information 
content makes it worthwhile.

I'm enjoying his hosting so far.  I've enjoyed all of the anchor persons but 
I find Costa's approach (whihc I assume ahs determined the latest direction 
of the show) quite itneresting.  I like the sort of places that have been 
visited since he's taken over - I'm more into trying to eat out of my garden 
than have a showplace garden with well trimmed edges.

That comment sounds just like my reactionary father.  He used to say the 
same thing about one of my hairy boyfriends from my dim distant youth.

That hairy boyfriend means that I know how to spot clean hair and beards on 
very hairy males.  If the hair shines, it's clean.  Costa's hair and beard 
is scrupulously clean.  I wish I could say the same thing about the skin of 
some middle aged bald pates I've seen.

On TV?, probbly powdered to prevent it doing that.

In any case I learnt long ago that not all learning comes nicely packaged.

Nah.  The Prime Minister's policies are wrong because her arse is too big. 
Or so I have been told by people who ought to know.  The same logic tells us 
the leader of the opposition cannot be right because his ears flap in a wind 
and he wears budgie smugglers.  No doubt Costa could gain a bunch of IQ 
points by shaving.

No sure about the IQ but would be a darn sight easier on the eyes.

No, when I wrote that I wasn't thinking of bald pates I've seen on TV.

True.  Some of it comes in butt ugly packaging ;-))

LOL.

Here was I thinking he wasn't too bright because of his desperate hunt to 
possess the poisoned chalice that would apply to anyone in the PMs position 
in the current House.  If he was brighter he might just sit back and wait 
till he can get a clear majority.

Dunno 'bout that.  His hairness makes one notice how nice his eyes are, says 
she dragging her toe through the sand.........

Agree with that, I thought his first series was interesting - more
about the 'nuts and bolts' of gardening... then it sorta drifted off
on community gardens ad nauseam.

Haven't watched it as yet, may never get around to it. I'd much rather
listen to Peter Cundall every Saturday morning on ABC Northern Tas.

Doesn't worry me in the least.

........ I always use a PVR for TV and so I can
always avoid the hairy gypsy-Gurus.  

They're swarming on TV now; what with endless
contrived cooking shows, travelogues (blond
bimbos), and history lectures from Egypt to
British coasts in which the talking head and the
arm-waving Robbie the Robot effectively blocks the
screen with its huge mug.

What a rip off:  behind all these bright
technicolored "shows" lurk clever marketeers using
the latest techniques to open the wallets.   Does
it ever rain on these shows?  The sun always
shines and the mug always smiles.

In the good old days we had Jesus & Paul of
Tarsus; and so on and on it goes....
