I did your dumb GoT quiz and I am some bloke called Drogo which I initially saw as Drongo and thought maybe I should watch this show, they get me.

But it's Drogo and I don't know what that means.

The good news is that you are a fearsome warrior who leads a mighty army of horsemen ready to conquer the world.

The bad news is

Spoiler

you become a vegetable that is burned alive before the end of season 1.

People expect broadband connectivity in the same sense of a basic utility. It is an integral part of everyday life to the extent that the previous government started the NBN rollout which the current government is doing something with...

I guess my overriding point is simply that, with the current state of affairs, that expectation is both illogical and unwise. Moreover, anyone who considers the internet an integral part of their every day lives has access to more freely available information than all of their ancestors combined, back to the dawn of time. A cursory glance at just a tiny little bit of that information is enough to tell anyone that you need to tread carefully with regard to broadband in Australia at the moment. It is not an entitlement, no matter how much it should be.

I'll grant all the stuff that I've snipped, that your basic objection is the inappropriateness of the manner in which he responded. I guess you have higher expectations of Liberal party politicians than I will ever have.

It means you're basically the definition of sex, for the kinds of girls who go to AVCon.

 

[PepeSilvia]

Yay.

 

[raman]

So essentially the Liberals ****** it up originally, and are now ******* up fixing the first ****up.

Awesome.

Imagine an alternative universe where Telstra is a government utility operating in a wholesale capacity only, and the copper network has been gradually and efficiently replaced with Fibre over the past decade or so.

But nah, better vote for Johnny Howard, he'll stop the boats.

...But nah, better vote for Johnny Howard, he'll stop the boats.

Well he did do that.

In Opposition, Turnbull has cultivated this image of an urbane, small l liberal, man of the people. To hear some people talk he crosses the great political divide, Ben Chifley in a blue tie if you will. And yet since becoming a government minister all I've seen is conceit and arrogance from him.

So while I'm not entirely surprised by his response I still think that it was entirely unacceptable. Not just from him but from anyone in parliament.

 

[Portia]

Hmm.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Yay.

Lots of honorable relics live happily ever after. You'll probably be one of them.

Not if you're Ned!

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Hmm.

LOL just LOL

I've heard of sugar coating but as far as a description of Jaime goes, that's a Mars Bar wrapped in Cherry Ripe suspended in a solution of Red Bull.

Those descriptions were written by an ex used car salesman, I'm sure

Earlier this week I did a Harry Potter quiz and got told I was Bellatrix Lestrange. I am pretty sure quiz makers hate me.
