"Barnesy" ranted on a Saturday night after
maybe a few too many XXXX's in message news:3e4e36e7$0$10323$ Wish these
dickhead shows would come up to my place in Townsville, and do
something sensible......I"m always alert to a fee deal....

Why do they fix up these yuppie fux with even yuppier and totally
impractical gardens? ( Demolish the kids tree houses and lawn they used to
play cricket on, etc)

Mind you.....if I came home from a weekend away and found my garden in the
state they make some of those southern city yuppie backyards into, I'd
smack
them all in the mouth.

Would THAT make good TV?

homes, houses, and gardens, an perpetual beer gardens and bbqs


Well I don't really know the demographics of this newsgroup, but I don't
think I'm alone here in regional Australia by uttering my total boredom by
these idiot "lifestyle shows" we get on the telly here.

Fifteen years ago I lived and worked as a gardener in the eastern suburbs of
Melbourne, maintaining rich peoples gardens around Camberwell and Hawthorn,
doing design, landscape and all that. I'm now an in a totally different area
of work in North Queensland, and I've spent a lot of time in the north west
up here. Flying Doctors, to be precise, as an RN. Yet every where I go, we
still get these silly shows about people (with enough money to buy a couple
of cattle stations) , getting a free bullshit "make over" on their gardens.
And in the end they look WORSE! Know what I mean? Back yard
klutz.......changing rooms, Burkes back door, Auction Squid, and all the
rest .......

Please explain?

I'll go to bed now......
