CHARLIE CONDOU - No.91

DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR

HRWright: @Charliecondou Was just talking about you to a guy who asked my views on gay parenting. Referred to 'my pal Charlie'; bit presumptuous? ;-)

Charliecondou: @HRWright haha yes send him my way. I'll talk him out of it lol

Charliecondou: @caitlinmoran I was in "A sense of guilt". Be honest, was I ever the focus of your onanism?

(Dictionary def: Onanism = the act of masturbating)

caitlinmoran: @Charliecondou YOU may have been caught in my wank crossfire

Charliecondou: @caitlinmoran I fucking KNEW it! *pumps fist*

Charliecondou: I have just wept with laughter for a solid 10 mins at page 63 of @caitlinmoran 's book "How to be a woman". Buy it immediately!

caitlinmoran: @Charliecondou "Her NAME is LIZZIE!" That bit?

Charliecondou: @caitlinmoran YES! I even woke up laughing this morning

fransongs: @caitlinmoran @Charliecondou the most laugh-out-loud part was right near the start, when you have "all the joyful ebullience of a retard" <3

Charliecondou: @fransongs haha yes!

missamandalamb: @lizmatthewspr @charliecondou @caitlinmoran Will everyone be reading it this summer?

Charliecondou: @missamandalamb @lizmatthewspr it's bloody hilarious, you'll both love it

Confidential_CC: Just doing some family history research and discovered Harry Potter was related to Beatrix...amaze !

HRWright: @Confidential_CC It's true. And Jilly Cooper is Dominic Cooper's man.

Confidential_CC: @HRWright Ha

Charliecondou: @PaulSchnaars xxx

Charliecondou: Dior addict are using Kate Moss as their poster girl. How fitting

2 EGGHEADs are better than...

eggheadproducer: What have you got to do to get more twitter followers?

Confidential_CC: @eggheadproducer Robert what you need to do is lower the tone and stop being an egghead lol x

eggheadproducer: @Confidential_CC more of an honorary egghead than an actual one. Will attempt to lower the tone in a non dumbing down fashion.

Confidential_CC: @eggheadproducer my other twitter half @Tom_in_Oz_ was followed by Daphne but she was prob a fake Daphne x

eggheadproducer: @Confidential_CC she is a fake. As is fake Barry. Only @cjdemooi is a real egghead tweeter.

Confidential_CC: @eggheadproducer Now, the best way to get followers is to follow many people yourself...Chattyman aka Alan Carr uses that model he follows thousands.

eggheadproducer: @Confidential_CC I will give that a go - thanks for the tip. Anytime the CCC folks fancy testing their quizzing brain power let me know.

Confidential_CC: @eggheadproducer Rob BTW these are the 2 blog I run for UK actors but I live in Oz charlie-corrie-condou.blogspot.com and russell-tovey.blogspot.com

eggheadproducer: @Confidential_CC just figured that. Thank goodness I'm not an egghead.

where do I live?

I was asked by a few of my blog followers about living in Oz. They asked about my suburb and my town...so I made this quick picture layout.

Above: This is the main street of my suburb in Newcastle Oz it runs along the edge of the Pacific Ocean. The tennis courts and other sports facilities are on the right next to the ocean. If you continue north to the grove of Norfolk Island Pine trees it is where my first home was located. It was right on the beach front but after 6 years we moved two blocks back as the salt spray meant our house was always hard to keep clean, especially the windows. The house was 3 stories high.

Above: For security reasons I am not showing my current home but it is similar to the one in the picture.

Above: The beach north of home where they filmed Mad Max and Star Wars sequences (where they needed a sand dune or desert looking backdrop). Along the beach, which is 45km of white sand, you come to vineyards and tourist attractions in the town of Port Stephens.

Above: The beach to the south of home.

Above: This is a recent newspaper picture of Newcastle on the east coast of Oz. My suburb is primarily a peninsula town surrounded by the Pacific Ocean at the front and a harbour at the rear. I have lived here in sub-tropical bliss for about 30 years.

This is a short iPhone video of my beach suburb in Oz. It was shot at Christmastime 2010.

the smurf
boydhilton: Films seen on holiday: Woody Allen's Midnight In Paris: lovely, funny, gorgeous; Conan O'Brien Can't Stop: truly revealing; Beginners: great

Confidential_CC: @boydhilton I thought you might be actually having a rest from movies and media....go to the Bronx zoo or something x

boydhilton: @Confidential_CC I shall do that the day you stop posting every single detail of the minutiae of a couple of actors' tweets and lives!

Confidential_CC: @boydhilton I don't do this 4 a job, u never seem 2 rest from doing it, 4 me it's a hobby.

boydhilton: @Confidential_CC ha I'm just responding to your presumably humorous comment in kind. You mustn't take everything everyone says so seriously!

Confidential_CC: @boydhilton I was being sincere when I said I hope you were relaxing in the USA and getting some down-time away from the media.

boydhilton: @Confidential_CC oh really?! How odd. It's really not THAT exhausting to watch some films for fun. Many people enjoy it.

Confidential_CC: @boydhilton dad's been diagnosed with cancer, my daughter's pregnancy has so many complications she hospitalised and I am trying not to take things seriously, was trying to say have a rest mate from the media!

boydhilton: @Confidential_CC OK thanks... and I was only joking. Good luck with everything

Confidential_CC: @boydhilton thanks babe, I know we can spar like idiots at times but I am coping with a lot of stuff and was trying to say to you plz relax x

boydhilton: Security so tight at Smurfs 3D screening you had to give them your name to get OUT of there

Confidential_CC: @boydhilton were you painted blue at the time?
