Been there, done that.

Only it was a drainage ditch in Laos that I fell into. Took me two weeks to get my legs clean.

You only thought they were clean because you got used to the smell.

The woman who fell into the fountain is suing the mall for embarrasing her.

She claims the vid was posted on utube by store security. She's also upset because no one came to her assistance.

Probably win, a new Stella award

BILLY JOEL

... . It's a neat flashback through the past

half century. Turn up volume, sit back and enjoy a review of 50 years of

history in less than 3 minutes!

Thanks to Billy Joel and some guy from the

University of Chicago with a lot of spare time and top left gives you full

screen.... top right lets you pause.

Bottom left shows the year. The older you are, the more pictures you will

recognize. Anyone over age 65 should remember over 90% of what they see.

But it's great at any age.

Your reputation is growing worldwide. Soon you'll be on Interpol's twenty most wanted list.

Should be good for an extended visa in Thailand.

What part did the Australians play? Surely not the scripting.

Please ignore the homoerotic undertones:

Generally, I'd say Jmmy Kimmel is kind of a "low brow" comedian, but I'll give him his due. That particular clip is hilarious.

Hurrrr-gurrrr!

After the success of the British/Australian production - "The Kings Speech", the Americans are planning a version for their domestic market:

What part did the Australians play? Surely not the scripting.

Geoffrey Rush was relaxing at his home in suburban Melbourne a few years back when a strange package arrived on his front door step."It was like an orphan," the 59-year-old actor recalled.

"I thought 'Who left this?' There was no stork.

"I took it in, it had a beautiful cover letter and they apologised for bypassing agents and all that protocol."

The mysterious package was a copy of The King's Speech, a stage play written by Englishman David Seidler based on the true story of how Australian speech therapist Lionel Logue helped cure King George VI's debilitating stutter.

Rush loved the story.

He was well aware of the king's stammer, but had no idea Adelaide speech therapist Logue was the man responsible for helping him.

Seidler and other backers of the project wanted Rush to sign on.

"They wanted me to be aware that this Australian character existed because they were trying to get the project up as a play," Rush said.

"They had a wish list of who would play the king and then they said 'You are the only Australian we can think of in the right age group'."

Rush had bigger visions, viewing the work not as a play, but a feature film.

The rest is history.

While Rush missed out on the supporting actor Oscar for his portrayal of Logue, The King's Speech was the victor at the 83rd Annual Academy Awards, winning best picture, best director for Tom Hooper and best actor for Colin Firth.

The King's Speech is a true Australian-British production, with Hooper perhaps the perfect director for the job.

The 38-year-old is a dual Australian and British citizen, with his mother, Meredith, born in Adelaide and father, Richard, a Brit.

It was Ms Hooper, who after sitting down to a reading of the play in London in 2007, lobbied her son to direct the film.

It's no wonder Hooper thanked his mum in his Oscar acceptance speech.

"With this I honour you," said Hooper, looking down at his mother who was in the Kodak Theatre.

"The moral of this story is listen to your mother."
