A truly sad day for cricket. I have lived a relatively sheltered life in terms of deaths of people I care about (only been to three funerals in my 25 years; given the proportion of drunks in my family it is amazing how long we tend to live) but I don't think that is a factor in how deflated I...

The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012) I don't go to the cinemas that often. I literally cannot remember the last film I saw at a cinema before this. Might have been back in early 2011. Anyway I had to go see something tonight and since I don't follow these kinds of things, had no idea what...

Hello garygee. I was wondering if you could tell me, what is the meaning behind your 'xenu' signature?

I've said it before and I'll say it again: our education system is failing us. I tender as evidence this thread. To all of you promoting the use and/or legalisation of dangerous and addictive drugs like marijuana, have any of you stopped to consider what might happen to society if people...

Never mind Kallis' half-ton on one leg in the first innings and match-saving effort in the second. :roll eyes thingy du Plessis might just be my new favourite international cricketer. What a tremendous innings. Saffers would have to be favourites for Perth. If we couldn't beat them despite...

Lololol at the clowns saying they will try to scare away their daughters' potential partners. You'd be basically encouraging your daughter to rebel by doing the one thing you are so scared of*: opening her legs. Do carry on with your misplaced bravado and faux-machismo, though. I'll be...

Found these odds on one large online sports betting site: Aus $1.40 RSA $4.50 Draw $7.00 You've got to be shitting me. This match is 50/50 at the moment. The thing about the Saffers is that they will chase better the less pressure there is on them to win. If we set them any more than 300 on a...

Really all depends on the girl in question, imho. Some look better natural, some look better with a moderate amount on, and some truly do look best when wearing the ol' tartface. If you want to know whether you personally look better with or without makeup, you'll have to post some comparison...

Georgieboy knew.

Waynesworld: Nothing you have stated in that most recent post of yours in any way deals with the substance of the post you quoted. What did this guy do to you 'personally'? Why exactly are you so angry about this murder? And what is life, my friend? Anyway people, I'm out of this thread...

The earlier Simpsons contained some wonderful storylines and scenes. I'm talking 'earlier' as in right from Season One (which seems, along with Season Two, to get overlooked by many posters around here [and elsewhere] when discussions about 'classic Simpsons' take place). Back then, the parental...

You clearly do not fully (if at all) understand the concepts of forgiveness or remorse. On the first, when I say that criminals ought to be 'forgiven', I do not mean that they ought to be pardoned. There is a huge difference. By 'forgive', I mean accept the frailty of human nature, the...

This thread, moreso than the accused or his alleged actions, are proof that humans, generally speaking, are ****ed. What's the point of having a large, developed brain, if the person endowed with it is only going to use the primitive, emotional, animalistic parts? In fact, I can't off the top of...

Your sig is a gem, my friend. Brilliant.

So this guy got 13 years or something, I hear. I wonder whether he would have gotten more if the device was actually explosive (ie dangerous). I would also like to know what the typical sentence is for rape is these days, at least in NSW, and preferably in cases where the perpetrator admits to...
