Ya, shop at Coles on Friday, all 'profit' is going to the bushfires.

Not sure what they mean by profit. So I'd guess not every cent will go to the victims. But it's a good start.

Well they do have to pay staff and upkeep and all that. And they're probably going to have to load up on staff to accommodate demand

Milney trivia time!

On facebook, there is :

15 members on the "I hate Stephen Milne" page - OK, fair enough.

41 members on the "We hate Stehpen Milne Club" page - hmmm ... I guess if it is "we" then there should be more people?

62 members on the "Stephen Milne - YUK!!!" page - reflects a few extra people who only qualify as human beings on every other Sunday.

317 members on the "Stephen Milne is a douche bag" page.

They hate him because he annoys them because, just when their team looks like winning he kicks freakish goals against them, using a tecnique that looks like it shouldnt work.
This is a good thing.

Anyway what sort of moron joins these sort of Facebook groups?

You're gonna regret writing that when you get to Uni.

Now hop along back to myspace CHB.

 

[CHBench]

[Armitage2Riewoldt]

True, my sister made one and already has near 200 friends.

Am concerned.

Those of us who are whipped beyond all manner of comprehension.

I'd rather not be scorned.

Woooo I have a post in this thread. Funny as.

 

[bubblegoose]

Saw this in the paper.

Tim Watson :
In a St Kilda - Collingwood reserves match in 1999 the field umpire bounced the ball up into his face.

Funny in itself, but funnier when ruckman David Sierakowski started laughing and the umpire awarded a free kick against him (for laughing).

Just reread this one. Thanks again for the laugh!

Junky.

Can't stand facebook, mainly because of the useless status updates.
"I just brought a 4L tub of ice-cream, should last me till tommorow morning!! LOLZAA." And because i don't understand it.

Does anyone else freak out when Peter Hitchener says "in late breaking news". Freaks the shit out of me.
Symo, what have you done now. International cricket career over.

Rat's tossbag

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The origins of the "rat's tossbag" are unknown.

The former Opposition Leader of the Labor Party, Mark Latham, has claimed in a book that "the traditional Aussie male has been replaced by a nation of metrosexual knobs and toss-bags".

Unfortunately he did not clarify what a toss-bag was, noting a bag that is tossed over the shoulder would not seem to fit the quote. A bag with a sexual connotion would also seem quite an odd reference.

The term toss-bag was more recently extended by Malcolm Blight - former North Melbourne champion player and former coach of the Geelong and Adelaide Football Clubs - when he, upon being challenged regarding his coaching tenure at St. Kilda uttered :
"I couldn't give a rat's toss bag whether he thought I could coach or if anyone thinks I could coach"
"I'm happy with what I did," ... "So an Adelaide or a Geelong, two very young teams, came from nowhere to play in grand finals? Come on, that's a wank".
"It was a team that had won two games the year before, it was a very ordinary football club, had some problems off the ground, (but) commitment, no. You don't like the way I did it - stiff. Commitment never not."

The use of "wank" and "stiff" implies the bag might be used as some form of device for sexual relief. We are unsure how the rats have become involved, or whether the public sould be fearful of some sort of rodent plague - particularly of the deviant variety which leave all manner of stains in public areas. But then it could merely be a continuation of Blight's relatively bizarre behaviour, including :
- Standing on a ladder to berate players below him.
- Putting the players in a circle so that he could pace around them from behind (to berate them).
- Making a player stand away from the huddle as he addressed the team.
- Providing some feeble excuse as to why he was playing golf in Queensland when he was on a $1m contract to coach a struggling St Kilda list.

Possibly we (and the rats) will never know what the toss-bag is, where we can get one, or what we would do with it once we obtain it, but if anyone sees Malcolm on the 17th fairway at Coolum (or even shares a taxi with Mark Latham) they will be able to shed some light to the mere mortals of this world.

[CHBench]

Is it really bad that i just woke up 5 minutes ago?

 

[Armitage2Riewoldt]

Seeing as the clocks are all screwed up, I have no idea what time you got up, one sec.

Yeah, pretty bad.

I got up at 1. :O

 

[StFly]

I was up at 2am. Because I needed to throw up some more. My weekend was awesome like that.

And then yeah, after that i got up at about midday and my legs and lower back feel like lead.

 

[CHBench]

^Bummer. I had one of those nights a couple of weeks ago, it was bizzare. I had nothing left after the 2nd/3rd spew, Didn't stop my stomach wanting to come out my throat. Dry reached about 8 cycles of 4 reaches. Every hour on the hour. Not pleasent.

Did shit all today, waking up after 11 is such a day ruiner.
Only useful thing i did was get my sim to have a baby.

 

[StFly]

Yeah, I did 6 times, water in water out then bile, then me sleeping a bit, then more bile, then me sleeping a lot and being pretty damned delerious. I just pretty much passed out for the past 30mins as well, so hey at least I'm fnally getting sleep now.

 

[CHBench]

I'm fnally getting sleep now.

Lucky.
At this rate, 3-4am looks like a good bet for me. 4hrs sleep then straight into Phys Ed.

Sims 3?

How is it?

Well outside of last night, the 3 nights prior I probably clocked 6 hours total, so it was only a matter of time before my body just said stfu and decided to sleep on its own. I used to go to an overnight LAN event and was generally up for 52hrs straight, so I can handle some manner of sleeplessness, just not when I'm spewing into a bucket as well.

Tonight was also meant to be an early night, but at this stage it looks like I might be joining you, at least until 2ish.

Sims 3?

How is it?

Amazing. I dont' really take notice of graphics or stuff like that but its like Sims 2 went into HighDefinition. Still haven't exlplored it totally, but it is heaps more realistic. Maybe too realistic. And it is really hard. Hard to earn money, hard to get promotions, harder to make friends, everything is more expensive.

Basically the whole game is revolving around your sims mood. Sims now can have massive mood swings, so if they're hungry, tired or get fired they are pissed off and depressed. With that you pretty much have to drop everything to make sure they're happy again. Things like promtions and babies and certain trait goals boost the sims mood, so things like skill building become much easier when they're in a good mood.

When creating a sim, instead of the neatness/friendly points table, you choose 5 personality traits. Like daredevil, kleptomaniac, ambitous, flirty, hydrophobic etc. And so their wants and goals revolve around the traits you chose, so does the life time want. But now you have a choice of 5 as to what their lifetime want is. It's not just fat and skinny, like chubby, or huge, or really skinny. But i don't think you can change their build after their made. You can also change how muscley they are.

Furniture can be placed on diagonals and you can add your own personal design to objects.

Loading time has pretty much cut down by 80%, its so much faster now. You can now move around the town and other peoples houses, and block to block without that loading screen. Pretty much an open neighbourhood. The best addition to the game.

Other sims in the town also evolve, so teens grow into adults, adults into old people etc at the same rate your own sim is aging.

Some of the things that came with the expansion packs in 2, are not yet in sims 3. Things like seasons, pets etc.

Ahh yeah thats all i remember.



If you tl;dr it:
Defs should get it then.
