Hi. I visited Tasmania in 2006 and while I was in Hobart I remember seeing an advert on TV for a supermarket or small mall in Launceston that took the form of a song enumerating all the wonders that could be found if you were to visit. Something like, you could buy flowers or food or have a key cut or get some food - I forget the specifics but it was in the form of a sung list. A week later, I was in Launceston and stumbled on the place from the advert and was surprised/amused to find it was really quite compact and not the jumbo retail paradise the advert had done a convincing job of suggesting. Does this ring a bell, and if so could anyone point me towards the name of the venue or even a video of the advert? Many thanks.

I just read and enjoyed This Cursed House by Del Sandeen. Any other recommendations for horror set in NO? I know Nathan Ballingrud's stories are sometimes set there but I've already read them all. Thanks.

Watching in the UK. The 4 streaming service recently put up the most recent seasons of both TMNZ and Aus but within a couple of weeks they're not available again. Anyone know what's happening with that?
