Just spent 5 weeks travelling through US. I could write a thesis.

Where do i start...

Boarding a plane - do not block the aisle sorting out how much stuff you need for your flight. It's simple: headphones/device/book/magazine, etc. Have it in your hand ready to go before you even board the plane.

Baggage carousels - seriously, our bag will come, chill the **** out!! No need to stand on the edge of the carousel blocking everyone else! If by some chance you miss your bag, then it only takes about 1 min to do another full rotation. Also, stand behind the yellow ******* line. This wa if you see your bag late, you have room to get to it. Polaxed a woman in Chicago because she was in the way. Didn't even apologise either. **** her, she will be better for the run.

Stopping in the middle of somewhere - on busy streets this should be punishable by death. If you have to stop, take a look behind you, then move to the side.

When TV shows run too long and it damages their rep

Simpsons (Is it seriously still going? Surely after about season 13 they got rid of it after they realized it was starting to lose viewers)
Family Guy (heading the same way. killing brian is a desperate attempt for attention)
Two and a half men (What other show has continued when pretty much everyone has left? Charlie-gone. Jake-appears once a season in like the last 4 seasons. is Evelyn or Rose still there?. It's pretty much just Alan and Berta and a whole new cast. Even Berta isn't always there)

YEAH! My thoughts exactly.

Wait, what? Chill the **** out, man.

Two and a half men is garbage, well I view it that way now because of the ridiculous reruns on Nine for 7 years. Start watching some better shows.

Two and a Half Men is always good for a cheap laugh at sexual innuendo. It's not comedy gold but it is funny nonetheless. That said, don't think they really have a reputation to uphold, so they might as well make more shit episodes and rake in the money!

Oh yeah, that reminds me, some facebook group called Facebeef?

Paid attention maybe a year ago when they first created their facebook page, but seriously, just a bunch of flogs. In fact, flogs is a pretty light way of putting it, a bunch of campaigners really. I know ACA did a piece on them, and deservedly too, a bunch of idiot cyber bullies who I'm pretty sure who's actions have led to suicides.

Would be interested to see if there are any supporters of these guys on BF.

I'll admit I liked them at first when they were taking the piss out of the stuff 15 year old girls like but then they decided to target anyone who dared question how mighty there were by posting their address, photos etc.

Let the "fame" go to their head and became a bunch of *******s.

Matthew Hayden, ******* spanner. I know it was fun flogging Kenya and Zimbabwe around, you comments this morning pretty much sum up your cooking...... Absolute shit. Just **** off.
What did he say? I could never stand him, so I'm always happy for any excuse to sink the boot in.

I don't mind Melbourne's PT but isn't it meant to be cheap?

Cost me $12 today to go somewhere which is a 30min drive :(
Still works out cheaper sadly if you're going somewhere with paid parking, eg. anywhere in the City or most uni campuses. Even with concession I think it's like $8 or so for a day. But compared to $6 parking and petrol I still come out ahead..

To set it straight I am a pom, however I'm happy to cop all criticism coming from our last two performances, but for that bully to get on his high horse and say the "real" England has been exposed and we have always been shit and cowardly well the last 3 Ashes results say other wise ****head.

He was nothing but a slogging batsman that mouthed off then slunk away when answered back, lots of respect to the great Aussie team(s) but he was a campaigner.

Not taking an ex co-workers advice about bitcoin back in 2011. He was really tech savvy and was talking about how it would be the easiest money ever made.

I thought he was insane and had a quiet chuckle at him putting his money into this new 'scam'. Was trying to get me to put $500 in with him.

I can't even remember the price back then but they've gone up in value to an insane margin now :(

Walking is like driving. You should still make headchecks and 'check your mirrors' before doing something either unexpected or different to what you're currently doing.

My gym is closed until Monday (which I am actually excited about as it's doubling in size pretty much) so I head on over to the other gym of the same name which is like an extra 5 min drive. Walk in and you could never tell they are part of the same chain. It's about half the size of my old before (before the redevelopment), All the machines and equipment are different with different weight settings so it takes ages to find the right one. They make you use a towel and its really hot as about half of it is windows where there sun comes right in. I know it's only a few days but not happy jan.

Safe to say I won't be coming back past Monday :thumbsu:

One positive was that there weren't many people there (I wonder why)
