...fall, there are mobile phones to summon a car along a fire trail. Caley may have put up with flour, dried beef and the birds the party's dog caught, but these walkers have freeze-dried kangaroo korma and bolognese, fresh snow peas, peanut butter and macadamia nuts. Whenever he gets a chance, Wyn Jones - an expert naturalist and a raconteur known to burst into snatches of song as he ploughs tirelessly through the bush - fires up his coffee maker, the aroma of caffeine mingling with the heady sweet scent of pink boronia flowers...
...Trias, a sweet, button-cute 17year-old from Hawaii who looks as if she were drawn by Disney animators, hit several off notes (in Idolese, she was "pitchy") and the judges pummeled her. She had been so sure she was gone that she brought the producers a basket of macadamia nuts and chocolate as a goodbye gift. Instead, America ditched the technically competent but detached London.

If you think you might look fetching in hemp, this is the place for you, baby...

Cowboy Bebop’s celluloid incarnation avoids Powerpuff’s sugar-and-spice conceit in favor of a complex plot involving Martians, killer macadamia nuts and pharmaceutical corporations. The film borrows copiously from a range of niche genres—action, romance, western and sci-fi, among others. It’s a shame that it isn’t a musical, too (“Bebop” is the name of the film?...
