In Netball, you can't Dribble like in Basketball, so if you get passed the ball, you can only Pivot. Also, the ring has no backboard.

Ok, this is just MY take on it. So, don't argue, or give me crap cos I won't bite back. Just my rendition, cos I live here.
Being short of money is not the issue Trip. We have the problem of inflation, due partly to the fact that people like to spend money.
many people here think "stuff it, i can't buy a house so i'll spend like there's no tomnorrow", putting everything on credit card. The government pushes spending, advertising eggs people to get into debt, credit card company's are pushing their wares, all the while we are pushing up inflation.
Chinas need for raw resources have pushed a minig boom in Western Australia that has pushed the cost of living & housing affordability to a stupid dimension.
One only needs to look @ Toronta Canada to see what happens. Once a mining boom ends, what is left?, a whole lot of unskilled workers (unskilled in anything different from mining associated), which then leads to unemployment. Kids are dropping out of Uni to cash in on the boom. Toronto Parks is now one of the few "cash cows" that is helping it stay afloat, promoting eco-tourism (something Western Australia really has to adopt now!).
The Aussie boom prolly got no more than 7-10 years left, but then again, if the US economy goes under, Australia suffers, as China slows exports to the US< and their need for resounces declines, so it could be before then.
Western Australia does not have the infrastructure to house the influx of People, and the Social & Environmental impacts this boom are having are huge.
Rich are gettign richer, the poor are getting poorer. Typical scenario. Kids now cannot afford home. if you were lucky to get in before it went stupid, then that is good.
It's not all doom & gloom, Australia has so many beautiful places, chances for a good education, good living, eating (ok, not perth for eating), and freedom.
$500k house is cheap. Look to Sinfgapore, U can't get a decent 2 bedroom flat under $500k. then again, their government did it right. they allow you to invest into Super, which acts as your mortgage, and with interst rates (I think Mrs Domo said around 1%), it is a very sweet option. So, even if a 2 bedroom flat over there cost you $700k, it's still cheaper than buying a cheaper one here in Australia.
There are still opportunities to buy cheap houses, you just can't be a snob.
If you don't buy, what will you do?, rent of some rich jerk? No thanks.

Welcome to the forum DWH,
well, I wasn't goping to use one, but as BushPig says, search these threads. One of them changed my mind. I am def going to don a stackhat
Where you heading to?

Noooo!
My brother just did almost exactly same, cept there was s light fracture to one of the bones.
it has been 4 weeks for him (physio 2 times per week). He can now walk, but is heavly strapped.
Stay off your foot at all costs, take whatever anti-imflammatries they give you, and get some physio done.
perhaps when you can start to walk in it, jump in a wading pool, to get your movement back, without the pressure..
I arrive in 2 weeks, and am considerign stoppign squash (I play 2 times a week), just for the reason you have described.
All the best mate, here's hopign a swift recovery...

This will be a complete pile of dog poo. I was speaking to Mrs Domo about it earlier, about what I thought it might be, and yup:
although, i have heard it is quite well done, and the FX are fantastic. Definitely go into this one expecting nothing...Warning, spoiler!It's another Godzilla type flick

Ruh Roh, somebody just poured fuel onto a fire.
Dammit muikabochi, I followed this thread thinking it was going to be an interesting article on Snowboarding in Poland....

Sick of seeing Federer? Man, the guy is a machine, and is brilliant for tennis. Such a great bloke. Good on him for winning.
The match was brilliant, Tipsarevec was increadible, and really pushed Fed. He is certainly one to watch for the future.
Hewitts 5 set match against Baghdatis last night apparently ended after 4AM.
Man, talk about a night of epic tennis...
Anyone for tennis?

I want to know if he actually picked her to have sex with & paid for it, or did he just wait till he got home & got a freebie?
-
Wow Ewok... I only just read this.
So glad you are ok mate. That is awful. Like U said, it is amazing that you came out ok, and that you didn't have a firend with you, or else it would have been even worse.
Speak soon mate!

Somehow I don't think eating moby's dick would last more than one meal
Unless you eat it with rice. Then maybe it's two?

ok,
I just read a VERY interesting article, regarding Japan's tradition of eating whales.
it is actually facsinating.. not sure if it is factually correct, but is a hell of a read. Kind-of helps me understand why the Japanese are adament that it remains on the menu (as much as that upsets me).

Anyhow, I still say that animals should inherit the earth.
-
I'm not disputing anything here BP, in fact, Greenpeace prolly are being thugs.
I am just a greenie @ heart, and it saddens me to see such amazing animals slaughetered.
Now, if only greenpeace could get some suicide bombers to work with them.....
-
Bottom line.
If these whales are in Japanese waters, then no-one in the world has the right to say boo. The fact that they are chasing them around the globe $hit$ me.
I'm not going to get over-emotional on this one (you guys already know how passionate I am about this subject).
Still think greenpeace should fit the whales with laser cannons....
-
Actually, why not consider Syney, Indo's best mate could hook you up with some sweet parties!
-
Just more BS getting out of hand. The Japanese fleet/government don't seem give a toot about what the rest of the world thinks, so GreenPeace is having to "up-the ante" so to speak.
If it was up to me, I would have torpeedoed the Japanese vessel (cept that would leak crap into the ocean).
It's just a sad situation, with conflicts of beliefs & opinions that is goingn to turn nasty, but it'sd better than sitting down silently and crying about it.
Thanks for this post, reminds me I better post of my monetary donation to greenpeace so they can keep going...
PS, and yes, being yobbos, is a VERY bad look for Australia...

Hey matey,
Look for jobs on seek or careerone
What is your web experience? there's a lot of call in all industries, from trained web monkeys to project Management. Technical skills (ie programmers) can command a VERY good salary @ the moment.
if you know sharepoint, then definitely come over..
Aus prices suck now, (especially here in Perth) however, Adelaide may be quite reasonable. Plus being east coast, yeah, quick to Japan, plus you get snow over there each winter.
Sounds like a big move mate...

ahh hah hah.
You do realize what the lyrics imply with this song right?
In fact, Tubby's suggestion of a "Rub & Tug" is dead on it, cept according to the meaning of the song you'd be doing that yourself
Oh, and if you do Karaoke, I bet you would totally nail "I would walk 500 miles", or whatever it is.. much cooler than eminem...
All the best mate, you are going to have a blast! -
I like Tea-Time, does that count?
Wow, we have Tea LOvers, Cheese Lovers, Beer & Crisps.. Damn, we could open a food website...
Welcome to the forum matey!

Not long now Ger, all the best mate!
Thanks Thursday, it's a really encouraging comment.....
