if i was the baby, i'd distance myself from the parents soon as i turned 18 :uhh: edi: oh, and the parents look like siblings.

Happens in Australia aswell, when I got my Blade Runner collection, I got it off Amazon for almost half the price than it was here. A lot of my region 1/2 dvd's were a lot cheaper than in Austrlia (inc shipping) now that I think about it... kind of sucks but whatever.

Wii Baseball > Wii Play.... except for maybe... nah I got nothing, for a minute there I thought one of them might have been better..

I'd disagree to an extent. I really don't think their opponent went all out to go over 100 points... given their ah... learning difficulties, their team would suffer from poor offence/defence and the score reflects that. Comparatively the victorious school could have fielded a weaker team but the result probably would've been the same, although the margin of victory smaller... but people still would've been kicking up a stink about something... "oh they fielded a weaker team and the other team should be insulted by it..." "they lost x-0 and the coach says not to feel embarrses so we fired him..." "the weaker team lost so the coach is fired for not fielding the regular team..." and so on, seems like an out-right lose-lose situation no matter what happened.

Gotta love the mind-set that being victorious is a bad thing. The only 'embarrasment' I would feel is that the opposition provided poor competition, not that my own team was victorious... I can kind of understand where the school is coming from but sport is a competetive enviroment, playing poorly or below your capabilities to give the other team a 'fair go' is not exactly being fair, if i was the coach for the opposition and found out the other team deliberately played poorly to give my team a chance I'd be insulted they felt they had to do that in the first place. Some people just don't think #-o

I drink rum, it just isn't my favourite...

doesn't every politician promise more than they can really give? And then there are those who promise one thing and do the oposite... personally I'd go with the guy who promise a lot and gets most of it done (or tries like hell to get it all done while in office) over the ones who says only what you want to hear then does everything you don't want to be done.

You need to replace the blonde chick... i'd photo shop the image but I really can't be bothered atm :lol: that aside... milk/milk - srsly

I know something wrong with Australia... and it's all to do with how harsh our traffic-offences are... Was at court with a mate (his licence suspended, etc... simple stuff) anyhow, the guy before him: - Had a restricted licence - Was driving under the influence of alchol - And was Involved in a hit-and-run His punishment for driving on a day not permitted by his licence, drunk and the hit-and-run: - 6 months suspended sentence - Unable to ontain a licence for 2 years And a number of years ago now some guy hit and killed an elderly lady (t-boned her car) while he was speeding and drunk... 2 years & loss of licence. Then not to mention the countless reports of people just losing their licence and then DRIVING HOME FROM COURT #-o Just .... ffs put people in jail more often.

The entire post read like a sterotypical 'rich kid' from the movies/tv dress (reminded me a lot of Cruel Intentions actually), so I'll have to agree. Wow, I'm really surprised. It's true that I haven't bought any Armani Collezioni clothes lately as I'm saving up to buy a car, but that's really what I wear. Well, I suppose I'm well off for someone my age, but it's not like I'm leeching off of my parents or something. I just have an outside work that requires physical endurance during the night (early morning postal service 2am to 6am, no elevators and plenty of newspapers to deliver all the way to the doors) and the pay is what you would expect from doing that sort of work. My transport/eating expences are very low because I have my student benefits from studying at the university. I also get a second job for summer and christmas vacations from the uni. I have average taxes because of my average wages and I don't often go drinking. I suppose I spend a lot the extra money after rent, food, electricity and phone bills on clothing. You have to keep in mind that Finns have a high average income and it's even higher in Helsinki. Is it really that bad? I'm actually from a working class background (mom:cleaner, dad:car mechanic, that's about as working class as you can get) so it's very weird to see people telling me that I dress like a "rich kid". I probably make more money than the average university student, but it's definitely not a look that I'm going for. Hmm... I guess I should reevaluate my clothing budget and choises if I'm giving out the wrong messages with them :-k . But then again, Armani is nice. Meh, kinda zero content post I know, but I don't like to be branded as a rich snob/upper class citizen and I felt that darkrick was trying to do so. I work for a living and I have a sweaty t-shirt to show for it every morning. Edit: For those who don't know, Armani Jeans is actually a brand that is a bit cheaper than the Armani Exchange that is sold in the US. And I don't buy tailored suits lol, kranked1. Believe me, you didn't have to explain yourself so much, a simple "I work multiple jobs so I can afford the things I enjoy" would've covered it. My extra cash goes on DVDs (today I just laid down another $200 on them) so I really shouldn't be surprised that your extra cash goes towards clothing, I kind of assumed that was on-top of the standard outlay on other items but purhaps not in your case. I wasn't trying to label you as a 'rich kid' just making an observation (or rather agreeing with Shadow), on what was available at the time. If I had taken into account that you are Finnish I probably could've come to the conclusion that it was possible to own those clothes and not be extremely rich but I wasn't on my A-Game then so my bad on that aspect. As a general question, you don't have to answer if you don't want, how much of your income goes towards your clothes? I'm just curious on exactly how expensive that kind of dress is since most of it is somewhere near the top of clothing in Australia which the 'general public' can get their hands on.

Why not hate on Dane? I'm always surprised he makes it through another years without someone trying to kill him :uhh:

They do that about everyone anyways, the president isn't any different. Look how the british tabloids constantly have a good at the royal family when one of them "slips-up" (acts human rather but whatever), a never-ending barrage of BS and thin 'fact-based' stories.

There's an '04 version in german if you can dig it up. was on SBS here a couple of days ago, I missed it tho so :(

I thought the officer who shot him was now arrested pending exact charges to be released?

Panasonic 5 old school crt n/a - technically it's 'free-to-air' so... news :?

baby has mums eyes :

it got beaten to death in the last LoZ thread for half the thread before TP was released... And I still don't know anymore... there has to be something before TP to explain the lay of the land and why it's different to both timelines which seems to be the fad of the LoZ debates.

Yea, Smith batting with a broken finger was a top effort. I still can't get over how he tried to keep going when it did happen... took him like 5 attempts with the glove before he finally decided he wasn't getting his hand back in there to keep batting. Tough man.

Females outside the kitchen should be illegal. Kidding. I just think cigarettes should be gone for good.

If you're not running 40's with that lift I'll be very dissapointed :lol:

FLV compression needs to be better. Although I really shouldn't complain... I've managed to get almost a years work on one 500GB drive (60GB left with 2 months to go till 1 year) :lol:

I don't agree with the bowling line-up we've had lately but the media screaming for players to be sacked is pathetic. It's great that other countries are finally able to fight back and fight hard; our line-up hasn't changed that much in the last few years but other teams have had some fairly big changes to their teams and the AUS selectors really haven't adjusted to this.

How do you beat Pokemon 100%? Get every Pokemon to level 100 or just have them in your Pokedex? Every pokemon in the dex, every item found and the elite 4 beaten atleast 5 times for me to consider it 100%. Scrap the at least 5 times deal, every pokemon has been in a party which beat the elite 4.
