Is ‘Bruce or Gerard’ the early dementia test question? Surely ‘Ford or Holden’ is redundant. “Benny or Dick’ means ‘drugs or sex’ right?
I would suggest adding ‘Harms or ERegnans??’ as a question, but I want to continue being published.
Great questions that surely reveal the secret of life, Swish. There are at least a half dozen that require ‘please explain’, but I guess that is true for all of life’s great mysteries.
Interesting as always Swish debate and conversation which could last a life time !
Thanks Swish
Swish. Brilliant. Very funny.
With regard to Pie or Pastie, I’d argue that Sausage Roll is an equal consideration! Or does this reflect only upon my upbringing?
With your title I would have expected Paul Kelly or Don Walker, no? Speaking as a post-structuralist I would think we could have our cake and do any number of things with it. As Mr Randall observed in his response, I’d take the sausage roll.
Great list, particularly for a myers-briggs personality test (popular culture edition) .
Did I miss The Sopranos vs The Wire? Rocky vs Raging Bull? And so on.
Ginger vs Mary Ann
Ginger vs Mary Ann? I resign myself to be a Mary Ann man as I could never hope to keep up with Gingers pace. And that reminds of a great line from ‘Peep Show’. In sizing up two ladies he desires, ‘Stalingrad’ reading Mark strategises, “Tony is like Russia … vast, mysterious, unconquerable; whereas, Sophie is more like Poland … more managable, won’t put up too much of a fight.” Genius.
Peter – Hill or Emery (is everything sex or drugs to you?)
Mickey – I’m with you on the sausage roll – Balfours or Gibbs? But the old bloke who was always on the exit gate at Richmond or Globe Derby only provided the other choices.
Rick – never warmed to Chisel, Barnes lived on the wrong side of the Elizabeth Town Centre
Sean/ T Bone – waddya got against Mrs Howell ?
Book – Chokka or Bob?
Geez Swish you are talking about my hero and mentor v the man who’s name I have said more than any other in my life and I may have helped to publicise a bit over the years result 2 super stars in my book
Gerard easily over Bruce and definately Red Delicious over Granny Smith. Undecided on chocolate v fruit.
Very entertaining list Swish.
Thunder Road – original or acoustic?
Now there’s a conundrum for every Bruce fan. I’m coming around to acoustic, with Jungleland as my choice for the full blown sax epic.
I clearly prefer the steel guitar ‘unplugged’ version of Born in the USA. The drama without the bombast.
Duck or God?
Neither – always Lethal for me!

Don’t get me started on the number of times I’ve accidentally bought the Van Heusen slim-line instead of the classic fit.
In the 70s it used to be
Ram or Juke
Now it is
Uncut or Mojo
The last two lines, Mark, are the most telling lines of all.
Vin, I’ve got a sh*tload of Roadrunner, Ram, Q, Uncut, Select and Mojo that I have never re-read, but would be happy to offload to a good home if you know one.
