Is Column 8 as elitist as I think?

I am usually a constant reader of the SMH online. Not usually for its endless number of articles about boring political things or its constant croaking about Sydney is becoming a toilet. But mostly for the entertainment gossip, TV reviews and of course the Ken Ken. Yes I admit, my name is Romina and I am a Ken Ken addict. It started, like most challenges in my life, that I saw someone else doing them, so I thought I can do them too. This is how I started onto Sudoku's and oysters. I become obsessed because everyone else is. Some might call it a 'bandwagon'. But I am opposed to that term. I like to refer to myself as a total non-conformist. So to say that I am band-wagonistic is a big call.

Now back to Column 8. For all those familiar with the SMH's Column 8 I wonder who else agrees that they find it totally out of touch with reality. Did I miss an 'in joke' in 1996 and have never been able to recover from it? Who are these people from the Lower North Shore who write in and what in God's name are they talking about? Take the recent 'Six foot man eating chicken' discussion. Or the discussion about Baby Boomers counting on their fingers.

I mean, what else do you use? They probably haven't been able to reach their toes since 1983, let alone count on them!

So there brings me to a flash-in-the-pan return to my blog. I apologise to all those who follow me but were feeling rejected as I hadn't posted anything in a while. But life has been busy. More about my consistent loss of dignity for the past seven months next post.
