There's also the so called programs like "The houswives of
Beverley Hills,"Of Miami, and so on. And programs like
"Married at First Sight." All big yawns.

As well as - "I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here," which
should be put to rest and possibly replaced with something
by Miriam Margolyes - which has more depth and entertainment.

Dear David,

Happy Independence Day today in the US.

Wishing Americans All The Best!

Dear Foxy,

Thank you for that. I am too old and tired to bother overthrowing King Charles. I wish him well.

Hi Foxy,

Pray tell what is wrong with 'Days Of Our Lives' like sand through the hour glass, so are the days of our lives. I've watched every episode since 1962! Will Tony marry Liz, his secret half sister fathered by their mother during a passionate moment with Nick in episode 3047 in 2003! I've been waiting 20 years for the answer! Someone give me the answer please!

Dear Paul,

According to satirist Ben Pobjie - "The modern human is
obsessed with "reality." Pobjie tells us that ""like ravenous
wolves, we consume the exploits of reality TV stars, dissatisfied
with fiction and desperate to be entertained by the lives of
"real people." Real home cooks, real top models, real housewives,
singers, fat people, real whatever the people on "The Bachelor,"
and "Married at first sight," are.

Those are what some people live for. And yet we so often neglect
the greatest reality of all. The reality of our nation and how
it came to be. In history's epic sweep, as in reality TV, we can
find the magical elements that make humanity what it is.
Dreams, suspense, conflict, love, hatred, loyalty, desperation,
heartbreak, inspiration, violence, joy, sadness, anger, despair,
death, alcoholism, history has it all.

When we look into the past, we find profound insights into
the nature of the human race - and only by looking at what has
come before can we understand who we are, and why we
often misunderstand (and even at times hate) one another so much.

It is a simple truth recognised by historians everywhere that
there's virtually no problem in the present day that is not,
in some way, the fault of someone from the past.
And this is something that "Days of our lives," or
"My kitchen rules," just can't match.

Dear David,

I also wish King Charles and all of his royal family well.

I wish that Prince Harry would come back and embrace his
heritage. Just as I wish that Australians would eventually
grow up and become what they now should be - Australian
not British.
