yes.
Also if you're 26 or over you dont need it on you in victoria when driving apparently.
Hello my friends.
Is there any mail forwarders that operate out of Aus that deliver to NZ? I've got a few things that I want to buy but I don't want to have to pay out of my ass to get them here because they're very small envelope-sized things.
Or alternatively, would there be anyone here that would be able to act as a middleman for me?

Yeah, Cortigiana and Duchessa are quite good. My Antonia is really nice if they have it.
Oh yeah, it's IPA Day tomorrow, woo! Everyone make sure to drink an IPA.
I've switched to wine for a while. Had enough IPAs for this year ... well at least until the weather warms up again
So you might recall I broke my arm earlier this year. When I got back, I saw my GP and asked whether I should see a physio and he said "nah, don't bother". So I didn't. Three months later and my arm is not getting better any time soon so I go to a physio today and she ... had words to day about GPs. I'm now just hoping I don't have to undergo serious painful therapy involving saline/anesthetic/anti-inflammatory injections into my shoulder joint for something that should've been a simple recuperation.

My biggest concern this week is the inequality of chicken pieces.
Australia 9 for $9.95 - KFC Promotion.
New Zealand 5 for $9.95 - Gimme 5 KFC Promotion.
This is some racist shit, bros.

Winter just means switching to different styles of beer!I've switched to wine for a while. Had enough IPAs for this year ... well at least until the weather warms up again
Feral - Hop Hog is always a winner. The IPAs from Mountain Goat and Little Creatures are both solid, if unadventurous. If you want something a bit different, you could try:
Oakham Ales - Citra (UK, should be available at some Dan Murphy's)
Brookes Beer - White IPA (made in Bendigo, not widely available)
Sierra Nevada - Ruthless Rye
Moon Dog - Jukebox Hero
Brew Dog - Punk IPA
Really hope the project makes it!
Loved that game, making crazy tracks!
Been watching lots of pros playing Binding of Isaac the last few weeks and I've gotten back into it. Love me some random elements and learning which items are preferable. Rebirth is looking great too! Keen to see how the game plays with a pad, could never get Joy2Key working for me, although most people recommend keyboard play on PC anyway.
Also restarted Far Cry 3 on PC. That game is clearly made with console in mind, in regards to menu navigation etc. Considering playing it with a gamepad. I started it on PS3, through PS+, but the graphics were pretty rough and I got it for cheap on PC, along with Blood Dragon. Hope the rumours of a standalone Blood Dragon 2 are true,
The best game ever on Sega Megadrive was Road Rash 2, yeah? Yeah.
...maybe
May or may not have read something similar to that effect on FB already
Small world indeed!
You know the dude who did the music for Skitchin' works for Witch Beam (aka Assault Android Cactus), yes?

Pretty awesome to be sitting at work and purchase my PS+ PS4 games on the webstore, push them to the download queue, watch it go from 'waiting' to 'downloading' to 'ready'. Super handy. If work had wifi here I could stream the games from the PS4 to my Vita right now!

When I first saw the 4G icon on my phone last week (when it wasn't part of my plan) I thought my mobile service providers were doing it out of benevolence.
Turns out it isn't so.
I've been with liveconnected (Optus reseller, now owned by Vaya) for 2 years and my $12/month plan for ~$500 calls n texts and 1.5GB of data is really, really great value.
Over that time LC made my plan obsolete and it thankfully was grandfathered and I've been living the good life.
But now they're going to charge us a $9.90 fee p/m to stay on our old plans. :'(
Granting 4G service is to soften the blow.
I've just looked around and checked out the Whirlpool threads and I'm 99% sure it's still the best value plan out there at the moment funnily enough.
Thanks for linking this, was a good read.

Yeah, any company where you get a coder, designer and audio guy as the three main guys can't be bad. Pity no one tried that before.

Cheers, I'll pick up what I can find in store. I do have a couple of Vale IPA's at home but just can't seem to finish them off.

Check out specifically the Brookes White IPA and Oakham Citra if available. They're both pretty easy going as far as IPAs are concerned. The Brew Dog Punk IPA is quite bitter, but also very floral (at least the last one I had, from a can) so that's not a bad option either.
I'm probably going to have a Citra on tap later on actually, if Slowbeer makes good on its promise.
It does.
Also, I'm hungry and it looks delicious.
Delicious and gross.

Well that looks gross.

That KFC burger is a real mess. Didn't like it when I ate it, the conflicting sauces are just odd. All the additives in it though now have me craving it again >_<
Went and got a locally made bacon burger instead. Healthier! Yay!

For a moment I thought, "maybe I should buy an Xbox." Luckily they're sold out
Weren't they on catch of the day a few weeks ago?

All that says to me is that the Xbone is too expensive.
First day back at work after a week's break and the beautiful efficient time-saving spreadsheets I slaved for days over sat in exactly the same state I left them in with no updates. I don't know why I bother handing anything over to anyone ever.
Also, the dry winter air is making the skin on my knuckles peel and the skin underneath is coming up pink. Which would be fine... if I were white. It currently looks like I have the Michael Jackson skin disease.

My bad, Oakham Citra is a pale ale, not an IPA. Still a fucking great beer though.
Pretty much. Spent the past few days at work poring over 500 floors worth of building plans trying to find errors with them. Fixed all but probably 5. Also, I have no idea what I'm doing in AutoCAD. (Thanks for that 'purge' tip, Marsh!)
Not really my job, but I hate seeing things not working.
man up and get some hand cream!

Dan Murphy's only had the Brewdog Punk cans, so I got 2 of them to try out.

Seems about right. If you find it too bitter, make sure you pour it into a glass and let it warm up.

After drinking the amazing mildura honey wheat, everything will feel bitter.

Because these days it's all about licensed music or custom soundtracks :/

Hey guys. So, I'm travelling to Australia next month and I plan to stay til Jan/Feb '15. And I think it would be a good idea to get a prepaid phone plan during this time.
I don't need much talk time, I never use more than 2h a month, but I want some included data which I'll use mostly for FB and Whatsapp. My current phone plan includes 500MB which I never exceed.
Can anyone here recommend a good carrier or a website where you can find offers and compare carriers?

Well, your first problem is that unlike most civilized places you buy a dollar amount of credit rather than an amount of talking time. Been a while since I used pre paid though, I'm sure some other members will be able to give you some tips.
Where are you going to be staying?

Damn, at this rate I won't even need to buy an Xbox One if Sunset Overdrive hits PC as rumoured (as turns out decent).
Reminds me, I need to clear my backlog enough to get to Dead Rising 3 >.>
In other news: Proteus is awesome. Wandered around for about 2 hours last night on Vita. Really nice and relaxing. It's like a precursor to No Mans Sky kinda lol. Really love the environmental design.
I've got no experience with pre-paid but Aldi mobile have a month-to-month system where you get a good amount of credit and 1GB data for $30 on the biggest network in the land, Telstra.

Insurgency free weekend. CSGO Ausgaffers should jump on board. Great little mod polished to retail perfection.
Ooh! I'd be down.
I'm pretty sure this is a mod I played aaaages ago. I really enjoyed it, despite it being brutally "realistic". (This may have changed >_>)

Nah. Haha just a mate of mine that I met at GABS. Your knowledge and love of beer made me think you were him at first! Then realized you weren't but thought maybe you knew him since it is a small world.
What kind of PDFs? Generally I think any large format tablet would be fine, esp if you are reading PDFs built around A4 or larger pages.
I know for me, even with an iPad I frequently wish I had a bigger screen for reading of large format PDFs.
