jk. Do you prefer the books?
Damn that's a tough question. I enjoy both but If I had to pick one I'd probably choose the books over the tv series but I think the show is more refined and focuses on the important plot details where as the books can sort of wander off course with all of the different characters. If you are ever watching the show and think "shit who is this guy and why is he important?" well it's worse in the books as the author has a bunch of other characters doing stuff that the show has scrapped.

I adore the books and the world building, but I'm glad the show cuts a lot of it because it wouldn't transition onto television now, especially Mereen. Hidzhar zo Loraq, Reznak mo Reznak, Skahaz mo Kandaq. It'd just be too much

GRRM began working on the series in 1991 and published the first book in 1996. It's incredible how much planning and work went into that reveal from tonight's episode. I'm still shocked. If you aren't already watching/reading the series you should definitely get on board.
I'm working my way through 9 seasons of x files. Some of those episodes were brilliant and the show explored just about every legend, superstition and social scenario. It didn't rely on sex to become one of the greatest series ever.
Another series that was brilliant but brutal was Deadwood

He looks like Angus Young from AC/DC Stiff upper lip. I don't care what he looks like if he's doing he's job right.
Can't afford to let Labor in. With their position on Border Control, you just have to look at that Apex gang in Melboure.
Bought about by irresponsible immigration policy under Labor. Total Spuds
The experiment with 6 yrs of Labor was an abysmal failure resulting in uncontrolled migration, increased energy costs,
and a bungled NBN program, that Turnbull has got back on track. These are serious issues but people are gonna vote on
who's voice sounds better. That makes sense:drunk:


Edit-The National Election is not The Voice!:p
Some people vote solely on the basis of perception. Even ignoring the fact that Pyne is a smug, self-satisfied, lying, shallow campaigner, his voice is enough to put me off.
EDIT: I didn't need to say "lying campaigner". He is a politician, after all, so it's obvious.

If you don't live in SA you won't be voting for or against him. Im in Catherine Kings electorate. I think she is a conceited you know what but she always wins on the back of the dole bludger vote. Lot of those in Ballarat.:sunglasses:

Lol at Lloyd wanting a like for like for Hurley from Richmond, fozzie bear pulled him up before he named Rance, lol Lloyd you are a campaigner that was the architect to knife Knighter and get Hird and his experimental drug plan in that has led to this. If he goes then Lloyd and co are part to blame.

Hope we get Hurley now just for the lols from Lloyd. Will never make Lloyds AA team again though :p
