    I'm sorry how is having a man cave linked to being a bogan? I generally thought bogans were in the lower socio-economic scale where as some man caves I've seen have a lot of rather expensive memorabilia in it. How is having a man cave full of memorabilia for your favourite sporting team any different to having a room full of toys? As someone who is planning a man cave and I have friends who have man caves I'm offended at the immediate links to being a bogan.

    But you also live in Ulladulla. It's not that much of a stretch

    Says the man who lives in the city known as "Campbelltown by the sea"

    Important note: I have nothing against Wollongong or Campbelltown. Just quoting friends who have lived there

    Hi guys, just thought I'd let you know, (as an editor on the show) that although the title is ManSpace this is not a bogan show at all and doesn't focus on sports either. It's very different to any show I've seen before as it just basically gives props to the average aussie bloke who collects things or has a real passion for something. It's actually quite a funny show too!

    For those who are interested we even have a guy who has built a huge observatory in his front yard!

    (You can tell that people are doing google searches to see who is talking about their latest projects and programs... as this is like the third person suddenly show up here in the last year after we started talking about something unusual.)

    And what's wrong with that? He's only passing on info to people who wrongly think its going to be all about bogans and sport. i've seen the ad on air, looks like it could be a good show.

    There's nothing wrong with that but it comes out as fake since it is not a known member who's posting the info but a newbie. Your entire reason for joining this site is to promote this agenda instead of why this forum exists in the first place.

    Thankyou for taking an interest in our interest in your show. Please ignore all negative commentary as members of our community can have a very bruised mentality regarding their portrayal (or lack of portrayal) in mainstream media.

    I for one would like to see Man Caves that contain a healthy mix of interests from the 'bogan' to the 'geeky' and 'intellectual' to outright 'bonkers' as I believe most Australians fall somewhere inbetween in their interests rather than at the extremes.

    But please refrain from creating multiple accounts simply to defend and promote your show.
