Bob Downe
As he de-lints his mauve poly-cotton safari suit and Scuff-Stuffs his salmon Hush Puppies, the alarmingly attractive Bob Downe prepares for his latest show. Time Out lays the iconic crooner on the couch and relaxes him with a drop of Word Association Therapy before his big gig...
Bob, keep your eyes on the swinging Vivienne Jewelers Fob Chain, relax and respond to the following scientifically selected series of words:
"Moist" Me after a show.
"Hair transplant" Bert Newton. Though I prefer the word ‘detachable'.
"Moon Face" As above.
"Suffocate" A new prescription drug I saw advertised on US TV.
"Frottage" So many fabulous cheeses to discover.
"Kerri Anne Kennerley" A daily reminder of how unkind high-definition TV is to those of us over 30.
"Premature" A Foxtel channel.
"Bloody Mary" Oh, she's all right!
"Swing" It don't mean a thing.
"Mirkin" I prefer Canadian.
"Alarming" All I did was burn some toast!
"Engorge" A new word, meaning ‘to make oneself, or a friend, even more attractive.'
"Gasping" A new Australian film.
"Polyester" My all-time favourite John Waters movie.
Bob's evil twin Mark Trevorrow hosts radio show 702 Sydney Evenings 7pm-10pm, Mon 4 Aug-Thur 28 Aug.
