You can only have one hero when you are a Wollongong boy

Synchronicity or wot? We were only talking last night about when Aunty Jack was shown, by mistake; on kids TV.

Bonnie Langford. One of the few people who makes me pause to reflect upon my entrenched views. A real anecdote to the insidious conditioning of my upbringing. Or I could be getting mixed up again.

I haven't had a role model, but I have had a model. One was in a catalogue, the other was an FHM Honey.

I'd never heard of her (him?) but was intrigued enough to Wiki, where I find her described as: "a unique comic creation — an obese, moustachioed, gravel-voiced transvestite". The word 'unique' is much abused, but I think, for once, fully justified. Much of the remaining account left me wiping tears from my eyes, such as some of the sketches, eg:

• Dried Elephant Arrangements for Beginners, in which Aunty Jack visits Taronga Zoo to teach viewers the fine art of "elephanto reducioso" with the reluctant assistance of Colin the elephant

and

• Country and eastern singers, The Farrelly Brothers, who performed a unique version of Lucky Starr's "I've Been Everywhere" - but in this version the only places they had been were the NSW regional towns of Wollongong and Dapto (Bond's home town)

So, thanks for that. A worthy hero indeed.

It used to be Shane MacGowan. I thought he was a fantastic songwriter and I loved his rebellious streak.

I decided my self confidence needed a boost a while back and who better to inspire me.
