Is there any news of the Designathon coming back in the next year or so?

I won't spoil anything but it's on the cards for the next 18 months

The hobbit. Oh and Horrible Bosses 2 was better than the first.

 

[El_Scorcho]

Pan's Labyrinth is the best movie I've ever seen

Gibbsy, if you don't mind answering this question... When you've been suspended/banned, what are you allowed to do on the site? Are you still allowed to PM people?

You can still read the forums and you can still PM people. Previously you weren't allowed to PM people but that caused problems as those who were banned were not able to discuss the ban with the relevant mod.

Was gonna be a journo too but then realised I'd be in the same line of work as Tracy Grimshaw so I just decided to do audio engineering. Good luck with it mate!

Congrats mate. I'm in Journalism too - nothing specific, but I've got sports in mind.

Is there any particular sport you've got in mind (ie. Australian rules, football (soccer), etc)?

It's a bachelor of media and communication with a focus on sport journalism.

I'm most interested in football and soccer

What uni are you at (if you don't mind)

In The Loop

and watch The Thick of It

I just watched In The Loop, bloody good! Will definitely be watching The Thick of It I reckon!

Ah, okay. I've heard of similar courses at other universities.

I'm at Monash.

Yeah the main brits are in the show, it's mainly fantastic because of Malcolm and Toby (name is Ollie in the show)

Was nice to see James Gandolfini in the movie.

 

[Dylan8]

Cool, the entry req was like 85 atar at Monash. This La Trobe course is new so there was no strict ATAR requirement but they said it was 85 definitely in. I got 67 and in so I'm stoked.

Yeah, it can depend on the school you attended, the clearly-in stuff isn't all that straightforward.

Someone that went to a 'shit' school and managed 80 could get in at the expense of someone that went to a very good school and got 83, given they take under-representation and other such statistics into account. I suppose it's a fair system, seeing as the ATAR weighting/scaling system benefits those that attended better schools.

Sounds good, it's always a relief to land in something that you're interested in. Was it a nervous month or two?

 

[Dylan8]

Yeah but I didn't actually submit the SEAS application or whatever it is for the boost. Careers guidance person kept saying our school got a boost but I'm a lazy sod.

I've managed not to think about it since I thought I'd get into like my 8th preference really. Just flat since I got my entirely expected shit atar.

 

[Silent Alarm]

Never try in year 12. Once you're in the uni system, you can end up doing anything.

 

[Stromageddon]

I'm still waiting for my stupid university to accept my stupid application so I can enrol in my ****ing classes before all the year 12's from last year fill them up.

 

[Silent Alarm]

Also I've got a '95 Freo home jumper in a Medium. Sekem, Hard Yakka sponsorship et al.

I got a Transperth fine for a ****ing hundred bucks which I'll fight but I want to try and pay that off with this.

Anyone interested at all?

If you're into some weirder stuff you might like Birdman

 

[Bacon Warrior]

The Interview.

That was a let down. Team America will always be the superior "**** you, North Korea!" film.
