Did anyone else see this last night on Sky News? Am I allowed to say man or is it not PC ? This is a man who should do interviews he most certainly does not mince his words.

For the views expressed in the links Alegrias posted you mean ?
Do you agree with him ?

Then shame on Australia - popular does not necessarily equal good or desirable. Porn is popular

He's well known here for his views, often correct. Chuck bucket is just a saying - if someone says something outrageous then you can come back with "pass me the chuck bucket" - chuck equals vomit!

Thanks for the explanation, Bigred, not an expression I was familiar with.
I've heard of a chook bucket, ie where you throw all the vegetable peelings to take to the chooks.

Yes, I have seen him on Australian TV and it was a cue for practising my Oprah-style jaw-dropping.
