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...

Recently read about a retired naval commander (aged in his sixties) who sent an email to his three adult kids (aged in their thirties to forties) basically outlining his utter disappointment with how they turned out and how they had lead their lives up until that point. He was particularly...

Wilbur: 'Charlotte? Charlotte!' Upon googling I found out that this film was actually released in 1973, way before I was born. However, it was one of the best-selling VHS films of the early nineties which explains how I came to see it. Anyhow, I wasn't much allowed to watch Charlotte's Web...

I agree with your sentiment but not your justification. If Australia 'won' the final three days of the First Test, we only did so because South Africa took their feet off the gas as soon as the game looked likely to draw. In fact, they seemed pretty happy to call it a match as soon as Cowan and...

In actual fact, the guy you have just critiqued is probably more directly involved in politics than you are. See, Morgoth is a paid-up member of the Libs. You were saying?

Haven't posted in this thread much (because I'm retiring at 10,000 posts and am trying to drag it out a bit) but thought I'd pop by, at your invitation, to let the good people of bigfooty cricket know I'm reading their thoughts even when not adding my own. While I'm here, might as well add my...

Didn't you say the same thing after the first one?

Hey mate. Who are you?

Holy s**t. I read your post and began thinking 'damn, wish I was with Vodafone', before I realised I am now with Vodafone and (as crap as they are in general) I can now do this. Will give it a go.

Huge win. Big thanks to all people (in particular, Ludlam in the Greens, and that guy from the ISP who posts on Whirlpool) who lobbied the government to can that idea. One less thing to hate the government for... for now...

Saw this for the first time tonight. Loved some things about it, wasn't too keen on others. The final third of the storyline was pretty ordinary (and I note the reason for this is explained by a poster earlier on in the thread) and the crowd scenes were just non-believable - was extras...

If the 'remake' gets its own thread then this classic certainly ought to. I remember seeing this as a kid, just a couple of years after it was released (back then, it took ages after a movie was released at the cinemas to be available to rent/buy on physical storage [i.e. vhs/whatever]). I...

Not just girls who use it as an excuse. Even handsome, well-connected, model-smashing men will blame the spike if they have to. http://www.theage.com.au/news/national/bracks-son-in-drink-spike-incident/2005/12/08/1133829698126.html Reading back on that article, I found this bit amusing: "He...

I consider myself somewhat of a thread bump connoisseur and I rate this a very strong contender for Thread Bump of the Year. Outstanding. :thumbsu: You'd be surprised how much SLF actually looks like that irl. Sans the muscles and weapons, of course.

I must confess that I am surprised that you of all people would write such tripe. You are normally a beacon of nihilism around these parts. 'Only moral thing to do'? You, really? I ask you again, what drove him to be so selfless? What led him to repeat the task even though he knew the risks...
