"...he was six foot four and full of _______?"

I always assumed it was "muscles", because he's a big bloke and Brussels makes me think of Van Damme. But then earlier I realised it could equally be "mussels" because he's Belgian and that's all those fuckers eat.

What do we reckon? Anybody got Men at Work's phone number?

The man's pose in the video suggests it's supposed to be muscles:



He's not all that muscley, but poses like a strong man.

They certainly got around, did Men at Work!

I met Colin Hay this week. Not the Men At Work singer though, Another Colin Hay. He was one of my politics lecturers!

Make Hay while the sun shines!

I didn't know he was Scottish before I listened to THIS. The one thing I thought he could rely on is the royalties from Down Under, but he even got shafted on those.

The man from Brussels is Australian. He comes from the land down under. That's why he had ready made Vegemite sandwiches at hand.

When I was younger I thought that line was: "He just smiled and gave me a bit of my sandwich." Which was nice of him.

A bit of your *own* sandwich? Not that nice of him, really. A bit condescending, if anything.

He was holding it to random.

Being given a bit of his sandwich would be preferable to be given a Belgian Biscuit from him.
