The Coalition's to lose - we don't vote for the Prime Minister.

Of course not.

However, there's no doubt a lot of people vote for a party solely with the leader of that party in mind. Call it 'Americanisation' of our politics.

We'd both like to think that, but you know it's not true.

 

[The Speaker]

Of course not.

I think it's best to avoid that Americanisation wherever possible.

We'd both like to think that, but you know it's not true.

Unless you live in their electorate, you cannot vote for Abbott or Gillard. It is genuinely impossible.

We put so much attention on the leader, but the policy decisions are not solely made by them.

Mate, I agree with you.

I am not a fan of that Americanisation, at all.

Jesus Christ, do you think that's what I'm getting at? Do I have to spell it out?

You seem like a pretty intelligent chap so I wouldn't have thought so.

Of course I know what you're getting it, I just get very finicky over it because I find it frustrating that so many people (again, led by the media) place so much attention on the leader.

Unfortunately that is not going to change.

Any big fans of the Marngrook Footy Show? The production team has just moved into the office next to mine at Deakin. Nice blokes. Hope Wayne dropes by the office one time.

Anyone else read the trash that Caro passes off for journalism in the age this morning?

 

[Beerfish]

No. Cliffs?

 

[George Washington]

No. Cliffs?

To be honest I only skimmed it, it was massive. Something about North, Ronald McDonald and unnamed sources.

I stopped reading anything she writes about 3 years ago, she's a total trash witch.

Hey guys, sorry to intrude. Inspired by the brilliant "Top 100 Movies/TV Shows" threads on the Media and Entertainment board (definitely check 'em out if you haven't - they're great), I thought I'd create one for video games which can be found here.

Would really, really love your input so we can have a bigger sample size and therefore more accurate results.

Cheers.

PS: If this is deemed to be on the wrong board, feel free to move it mods.

I'm guessing I'm not the only person to think "finally, something this off-season!"

Even it's a speculative, off-field, non footy related something.

God, hurry up NAB Cup.

Stumbled across this. You are a bad person!

 

[Drummer_19]

[Beerfish]

[The Speaker]

Use chrome.

Any idea on why my escape key isn't working on Firefox?

It's fine on everything else.

Have you somehow changed the shortcuts?
