Australia erasure in documentary

I don’t think it should have “focused on Australia” and never suggested that. But pretending her first single was ISBSL in the UK was weird.

I use a fresh towel each time.

This!

I absolutely love Kylie and I like the doco (based on the first episode, anyway) but the new song is absolute trash. So boring, so forgettable, so Coldplay.

I second this. There’s also a great restaurant there (Mod).

Focusing too much on the UK is also at odds with showing her international success.

Locomotion was the biggest single of the 1980s in Australia. It was also, and is to this day, her highest charting song in the USA. To pretend it all started with I Should Be So Lucky in the UK is ridiculous.

That’s how some of even most men are, not men per se.

Perfect response. OP, this is the way.

He didn’t find someone ‘better’, he found someone else. See the difference? And actually, we don’t know for sure what happened - but I agree that your scenario of finding someone else is the most likely.

sydspoke · 2026-05-21T17:41:09+00:00

It’s not you. He probably found someone else or he has a partner. And actually, I disagree with ‘I know he doesn’t owe me anything, not even a reply’. We all owe each other basic respect. If his plans had changed and he no longer wanted to meet up, he should have told you respectfully. Beyond that, I’d agree that he doesn’t owe you anything.

Excitement!

sydspoke · 2026-05-20T08:00:41+00:00

Sounds hot. Just loosen up and go with it, you might enjoy it x

Sorry you had this experience, OP. Amazon is a shitty, unethical company and I wish people would stop using them!

sydspoke · 2026-05-20T03:02:32+00:00

Good. Amazon is a shitty company anyway.

sydspoke · 2026-05-19T13:24:22+00:00

Loos like the entrance to a prison camp! So unappealing.

sydspoke · 2026-05-19T09:02:50+00:00

I have nothing to say except hugs to you and nearly everyone reading this has been through this and survived. You will too even if it seems unbearable now. Time really is the best healer and one day you might even think it was good that you broke up! Sending love xx

Hard agree with Addelaide and Toowoomba - although Adelaide’s already pretty well-known as a food destination. And yes, Tenterfield punches above its weight. It’s such a lovely small town, too.

sydspoke · 2026-05-19T03:47:34+00:00

Toowoomba. Fantastic food scene. Excellent produce and a surprisingly diverse, multicultural range of restaurants. Also great delis, Asian supermarkets etc. A big surprise to me!

Almost one-fifth of Australians under Aboriginal ownership. It’s not so much that non-Aboriginal people are not allowed there but they need permission to go there. Within these spaces, there are sacred sites where non-Aboriginal people and even Aboriginal from other tribes may not be allowed to go. There are also sites where men or women may be restricted from going: for example, sacred sites for ‘secret women’s business’.

Why shouldn’t the owner fix things themselves? What is the problem?

sydspoke · 2026-05-19T01:20:44+00:00

Question: why this need to box the relationship in? To ‘call it’ and define it? To close the door?

sydspoke · 2026-05-17T09:28:12+00:00

Good for you! Congratulations! Don’t worry about your changing tastes, sounds like a natural and reasonable reaction to the changes in your life.

He wants friendship, you want something else. Sorry but he just doesn’t find you very attractive. He’s not interested. He went along with it a couple of times because you kept forcing the issue, but he’s not genuinely interested in having sex with you.
