You called me a narcissist, so the port narcissist and the port ******* showpony are gathering the likes for the team. Schulzenfest needs some form of derogatory term.

Surely campaigner. I did introduce it to BF after all.

Just watched 9's 55 Years of TV News. Here's the experts' 10 Biggest SA Stories...

1. State Bank
2. Ash Wednesday
3. The Beaumont Children
4. Don Dunstan
5. Crows/Port
6. The Beatles
7. NCA Bombing
8. Millennium Drought
9. Snowtown
10. Grand Prix

Duncan's drowning/death/murder must still be too sensitive...

Thats bullshit that Bevan and his mates isnt there between Beaumonts and Snowtown. Probably protecting Rob Kelvin. Truro murders shoild be in there.

Murdoch leaving Adelaide is a pretty worldwide significant event but it wasnt in one hit.

I think it may have been Roy & HG who invited This Sporting Life listeners to nominate footy players for one of four teams - Legends, Showponies, Dorks and Hotheads...

Murdoch leaving Adelaide is a pretty worldwide significant event but it wasnt in one hit.

They could do easily a "Crimes That Shocked SA" episode - Cliff Bartholomew, Stuart Pearce, Max Stuart, Derrance Stevenson and so on.

"The Family" murders definitely had a much more profound impact on Adelaide than Snowtown did.

But yeah, fair enough if Channel 9 wanted to save the Kelvin's any more pain.

Just on Murdoch, they rolled Dunstan into one hit as "The Dunstan Era."

So Salisbury's sacking barely got a look-in...

Watching The Code on abc. One of the two main characters is a journo snopping around an Oz national security issue. His brother is the hacker who is breaking the code into the national security issue.

The journo actor played Electron in the docodrama called In the Realm of Hackers. One of the hackers who hacked into NASA in 1986 and US dsfence and government facilities and then US banks. It was the Melbourne based hacking group that Julian Assange was in.Waiting for him to start hacking but its the brother who is fhe genius and has just hacked into a file about uranium enrichment pocess.

In both films the hacker is highly intelligent but has mental health issues.

Before 'likes' I used to think people found my football discussion interesting or entertaining.

I am now forced to recognise that my only value as a human being lies in humorous snark and bitchiness.

Thanks Bigfooty!

Yep that was them. Remember Backdoor Benny Elias was a dork, Mark Geyer a hot head and Dermie was a showpony. Cant remembed any more.

Good old "Mendax". What is Assange up to these days? Ecuador?

I think he is going to go Sweden and face his charges. He gave a press conference about a month ago but never set a date when he would leave the embassy.

Wiki description of a Turkish remake of The OC:

Yaman, who lives in the suburb of Istanbul Tozludere, gets into trouble because of his big brother. Until that day he tried to change his destiny by working to be a good student. That evening he will unwillingly be introduced to crime. And his clean dossier is tainted. He meets lawyer Selim Serez when he has lost all the hope. Selim sees in Yaman a promising young man, under the mud that is over him. Yaman who gets into trouble even more while trying to stay out of it, reminds him of himself and doesn't want this guy's story to end behind iron bars Yaman doesn't take seriously the offer of a rich lawyer at first, but after problems that surface after his return to his house, her realizes he won't be able to continue his life where he left it. Loud voices from the poor house once again reach Selim. Yaman doesn't refuse Selim's offer this time and he takes a new step towards the door that lead to a new world offered to him by a man whom he met under bad circumstances. Even if Yaman is aware that there are no miracles in real life, and that he doesn't have another chance apart from going through that door. Carrying the weight of past on his shoulders, among people he doesn't know, he will face a more difficult life than the one he had in Tozludere.

IMDB explanation of Mulholland Drive:

1) Pay particular attention in the beginning of the film: at least two clues are revealed before the credits. The red comforter and pillows, upon which Diane will later awake, and Betty/Diane’s appearance with the elderly travellers seen later in the film, who may be her parents or grandparents.

2) Notice appearances of the red lampshade. First time: Nobody answers the telephone next to it, but the final ring carries over into the next shot, where we are introduced to Betty for the first time. Second time: When Rita/Camilla calls Betty/Diane to tell her that the car is right outside to take her to Mulholland Dr.

3) Can you hear the title of the film that Adam Kesher is auditioning actresses for? Is it mentioned again? The film is entitled “The Sylvia North Story.” We hear the name again at the dinner scene at Adam’s house, when it is revealed that Diane auditioned for a part in the film, but lost it to Camilla.

4) An accident is a terrible event… notice the location of the accident. Mulholland Drive is the location of Rita’s accident in the dream sequence, whereas in real life the limo ride culminated in the dinner party where Camilla and Adam Kesher announced their engagement in front of Diane.

5) Who gives a key, and why? The hit man gives it to Betty/Diane, to inform her that the job is done.

6) Notice the robe, the ashtray, the coffee cup. The robe turns into a pair of cut-offs, the empty ashtray wasn’t there before, and the coffee cup turns into a glass of iced tea (or a glass of scotch on the rocks), as Betty/Diane walks towards the couch with Rita/Camilla in it. This indicates that the scene has seamlessly segued into a flashback, as we see Diane give the same ashtray back to her neighbour just a few minutes earlier in the film.

7) What is felt, realized and gathered at the club Silencio? Sadness, that everything is an illusion, and that Betty/Diane has the blue box, and Rita/Camilla had the key to that box.

8) Did talent alone help Camilla? No. It is strongly implied that she is sleeping with the director. In Diane’s dream interpretation, a vast mob conspiracy is behind a girl named “Camilla Rhodes,” while her own dream persona is the one who appears to have real talent. Diane feels the world is against her, and an unfair collusion behind the scenes kept her from the part in The Sylvia North Story (see clue #3.)

9) Notice the occurrences surrounding the man behind Winkies. The dream comes true, except it’s day, not “half-night.” The significance of the location is that in real life, the restaurant was where Diane arranged to have her lover killed. In her dream of the events, a monster lurks there, described as being “the one who’s doing it.” Subconsciously, she associates the location with something terrible. When the man in her dream comes face to face with the monster, which he believed to be a dream of his own, the realization that it is really there causes him to drop dead from shock, prefiguring Diane’s own breakdown and suicide when she confronts her actions.

10) Where is Aunt Ruth? She’s working on a film in Canada in Diane’s dream. In reality, she’s dead.

I remember watching that movie years ago. Just after I watched it, one of the actresses was on TV talking about it and gave away the whole premise.
