I only just got home lol. Late trains + eating a delicious Mr Burger burger + going to Coles = 3 hour trip home. MelbGAF till you die!
fuuuuuuuuuu i totally just got jipped by some devious old ass woman at a videogame shop, and it took me like 20 mins to realise afterwards;__; (((((((( ajsdhgasdfjgkdfsjg
Basically, I paid 716 hkd (actually 700 cos she was like ohhhh don't worry about the 16 bucks hun....clearly feeling bad for how dumb I was) for what was supposed to be 656 in total. She said one game was 298, and the other was labelled 358, so what she did was do 358 x 2 for the total and hope I didn't realise. And I didn't!! Cos I'm a chump! FUCK! Add to that I was already paying a 40 dollar premium for one of the games, so in total I got jipped/robbed 14 aud
I mean, in the grand scheme of things, whatever, but still....I feel soooo bad, feel like the biggest idiot considering I analyse numbers n shit for a living. arrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggghhh!
On the plus side, I grabbed some Mos Burger on the way back since I've never actually tried it before. Was ok.

Totally forgot there was a MelGAF thing on today. We're all so bad at reminding when things are on.
It's also possible it was an honest mistake, right? Of course, you hear a ton of bad things about merchants in HK, so maybe not.
700-656 = 44 = 6.33 AUD... So not such a big ripoff?

I'm including that 16 she was gonna charge, so 60 hkd (so 8.5ish aud). That's like 2 decent lunches she could have on my jipped money!!
Yeah it's not much, but it's the feeling of getting tricked like that. I am actually seriously/legit pissed about this lol. I'd go back and argue, but I just know it would be a bad idea.

Well, if it makes you feel better, I once got shaken down by a Hungarian public transport agent to the tune of about $30 Australian. Didn't even realise it'd happened until I got around the corner. They would've gotten more out of me but that's all I had in my wallet!
That's sarcasm right? Surely?
Can we not leave the term show runner to Americans, they need really simplistic terms like that. I thought Australians were above that. And there have only been a very few good Australian comedy shows, so your pool of talent is rather narrow if you want good producers and writers and presenters/actors of comedy material. I would rather a good writer writes, a good actors/comedian acts/presents, and a good director directs. But maybe that is just the old fashioned way
/old man etc
Paul Fenech is leagues better than Lilley as a producer anyway. And there are lots of people funnier than (hey lets dress up as as age inappropriate bogans and laugh) Lilley.

Talking about Australian comedy? Everyone go watch Review with Myles Barlow.
So dark... so funny.

Only their shows. For real, thats what Im saying. Them doing all the lifting themselves is a bonus.
Yeah Fenech is the real deal. Pizza inspired as an impressionable young teenager and now as a comedy conosiur in my early 20s that early Pizza stuff holds up. (better than Housos).

Pizza was ok, housos was fucking terrible.
Chris lilley should have really left the SHH universe alone. Jamie is more awkward than funny.

You know what, Thor 2 was pretty great! Really enjoyable. So much better than the bland boring first movie (which was okay). This was actually fun and well written.
You can get them around $49 every now and then. I think even Safeway had them for $70-80 the other day!
Yeah we get them refilled locally for like 20% of the price.
yikes D: stay safe guys
Slightly better, though i've been here for almost a year now so I should really know better lol
i'm actually really enjoying it so far. probably cos i haven't played a harvest moon since gba friends of mineral town. god that game was soooo good!

Pfft. No bonus points because you didn't even name the damn truck.Good man. Jacks Truck is indeed the star
Pork Chop Express, obviously.
Damn it, I was avoiding that so I didn't spoil the kids with one of the greatest names in cinematic history.

"Win" a 48-hour Gold code in the Xbox/V promotion (that I don't want, but whatever), entered a + in my email address (which is a valid character, I use them extensively to filter in Gmail), never get the email.
Good job!

And what a great truck it is.
Watching Brazil tonight. Been able to catch a few older movies I've had on my wish list while being up late with he baby.
Another awesome movie. Bob Hoskins, Robert De Niro, Jonathan Pryce, Michael Palin, Ian Holm. Amazingly bizarre, funny, and sad all at once. Not without flaws (it is a Gilliam movie after all) but one of my favourites. A fine critique of bureaucracy without the draining seriousness of the Orwells and Bradburys.
Edit: In 'why did it take so long to not be stupid' news:

Small thing, but a city based team should never have been wearing the state guernsey. LOL at this:
Be angry you had a stupid idea instead of crying over a commercial opportunity.
Frontline is miles ahead of all their shows.
