this kid has talent ! Ah but, to bad , after all those of us ...who have eyes...know it truly ...is...the...end..of..the...world ...better luck next time mate !
@raw5069 Mate, thanks for all of these responses which I'm just about watch. It's been ages since I had one- now you've given me three at once! And thanks as well for your subscription (which is a favour I just returned). I guess the thing about predicting the end of the world is that you're bound to be right someday. For sure it's hard to watch the news these days and not detect a flavour of apocalypse...
@SlickHolden Yep- that's it! I'd think you were joking except I just saw the real figures: 120,000 people left this town for other parts of the country last year- way more than any other city. ('Course, they're still piling in from overseas, and that's why it's still growing.) To read the press you'd think the cost of living, congestion and social pressures were the reason, but we know better...
@videowilliams I can see the cars arriving daily lol. it might be the state government ? their pretty bad. i friend of mine who has lived in Sydney for about 7-8 years told me he knows a few who have left in the past year. hes also one thinking of moving down here although for work reasons. it could save his life! hes not far away from the harbour.
@SlickHolden I think you're right, Slick- combination of a hopelessly corrupt state government and the impending apocalypse is driving us out. Between you and me, I'm making exit plans myself...
@SlickHolden More likely north and west a good long way, ironically to India, where they don't have any speed cameras 'cos the traffic rarely gets above a crawl. (I have friends there, and they've offered me some work.)
@SlickHolden I have been riding round in a Tata actually- a Nano subcompact- and it turns out to be good reliable rugged engineering, well designed to handle bad roads much like a Holden!
@SlickHolden Yeah, every time I think I've deduced some rule of the road, whatever Indian I'm driving with corrects me: "There are no rules." So traffic moves along like particles in a river, basically following the principles of boating: take whatever gap you see, give way to whoever's vehicle's larger, try not to get hit...
@videowilliams lollollollol sounds like driving in the city:p. I just came back from a country trip and loved the people on and off the roads. its good respectable people up country way not like the city. So how is Indian had any trouble or your fluent?.
@SlickHolden Oh I've been spoiled in terms of the language. Bought some books for learning Hindi but my friends here all speak English so I've barely opened them. I sure do envy your country road trip: that's the first thing I intend to treat myself to on returning to Oz.
@videowilliams My hindi is rusty never used basically lol. How long you gone for. And i swear we just had an ad on the tv and the voice sounded like yours! seriously.
I actually had fun driving the little 4 cylinder surprisingly comfy over the long trip, and very tight and light through bends :).
@SlickHolden I'll be back in Oz on January 20th, landing in Melbourne. Haven't recorded any television voice-overs I'm aware of but would love to get into that line: at several hundred dollars an hour, it's money for jam!
I drove a little Toyota Corolla across the U.S. 4 years ago and that was good too, but I still missed my roomy big Holden. I could never push that compact driver's seat back far enough to be comfortable, and all the controls felt fiddly- made for little fingers.
@lesliewand The funny thing is, matching my 15-year-old speech patterns at 33 was no effort at all. We think we change as we grow older- but it's only surface.
@OzPix At the time I wished for 35mm and Dolby Stereo, but looking back, you've got a point- it does resemble something dug out of a cellar, and is richer for it.
@albenia1935 Thanks for giving it the time, Charles! There's a strong moralising streak running through it, isn't there? Though it figures- Plato's tale of Atlantis was a morality tale as well.
WOW!!! Doomsday here for Sydney,...such a beautiful and cosmopolitan City,....and yet like ya say doomed for the greed and the negative Vibes,....of not respectin' our Mother the Earth and always wantin' more, more, mooooooooo.........lol....started out being fiction but takin' a look at other places on this blue planet, fiction has turned into truth! Thumbs up to ya Dave and thankin' ya for the AWESOME share! = )
@qualqui That's the perfect comment, qualqui! I have nothing more to add. Except to say that I've been following your "likes" to see what's happening in Japan... earthquake, tsunami... just half a day after I posted this little piece. It is uncanny how fast the fiction, as you say, turns into truth.
@OSyMike Thanks, Mike! I sometimes think I ought to reshoot this thing- the Sydney skyline's gotten so much bigger, denser and shinier since '83- but then think naah, a remake always loses more than it gains.
@davidsquall351 That'd be you liking my descent into madness, wouldn't it? Mind you, predictors of the apocalypse will all be right some day. Thanks for watching it through!
