So 90's

Am off sick today with a...shall I say... upset stomach. No, let me rephrase that to a very upset stomach. I must say though that an indoor water closet must be the best invention ever! It must have been one of the very important inventions that allowed us to "evolve" further. No more running outside in freezing conditions, waiting your turn to sit in a smelly outdoor building. On the other hand, I bet they were happier when it was cold rather than a hot summer's day....

Anyway, being at home during the day is an opportunity to see what is on the telly during daytime. I like Buffy so that's a bonus, but imagine my surprise when the "next" program was announced ... "Theeeee Glaaaadiatoooooors!" Wtf? I thought that was something for the 90's and 90's only. And imagine my expression when I realised that it was not old re-runs but newly filmed programs!! Strange, very strange indeed. Whoever comes up the names of the Gladiators should be shot. I mean, Battleaxe! Battleaxe!! For a girl? Fair enough, she is as butch as ?? - can't think of anything equally butch but believe me, Mike Tyson would run shrieking the other way if ever he met this Battleaxe and I may not know Tyson personally but he does seem to be a bit of a twat and crazy enough to find an encounter like that "exciting".

What's next? A re-make of Beverly Hills 90210? Oh wait...right, they're doing that. If only they'd bring Dallas or something similarly classy back (Falcon Crest, Dynasty - take your pick!) but nooooo, we're stuck with some seriously crap entertainment. Imagine if they decided to do a Melrose Place -2o years later! Marcia Cross (she was in M.P, right?) would actually look a lot younger now than way back when. And what about all the so called "hunks"? Hmmm - would we find them as good looking now as we did then? I'm sorry but I don't think so. There was a distict look about the 90's and to be fair, it really did not do anyone any favours, least of all me...

Anyway, enough ranting about the 90's- gotta get back to the Gladiators. If only I could remember where I'd put that foam-finger.
