England don't always get thumped and they are improving.
Also NZ has been regularly beating the best that both NSW and QLD have to offer so im not sure how you can argue that SOO has a higher calibre of player than the international game.

Sure some of the musicians seem to come out of nowhere but they're not all obscure seeing as a fair few have appeared on both shows.Dead Man said:Julia Zemiro irritates the shit out of me. The whole show comes off as a worshipping of her and obscure musicians. I can't even watch Eurovision any more because of herBut it is good to have more quirky shows on TV, so I don't think it should go, it's just not for me.
Rockwiz seems more about the music to me. (if that makes sense)
With 3 live songs by the guests and a band compared to 2/3 of the panel on S&S being comedians and the musicians seem to only be there to tell funny stories too and sing a few songs from a book.
I like both though.
Forget I said anything. The fact that you seem to view SoO as an annoying sideshow indicates to me that I shouldn't have bothered engaging you in a discussion. I forgot the lolworthy points you tried to make in the NRL thread. I have made a grievous error in judgement.AdventureRacing said:

Ok, now I need some of those Salt and Vinegar Pringles whilst watching the game. Advertising does workjambo said:Found this on the Pringles FB page, good bit of advertising imo

I don't consider it a sideshow however there is no question that it impacts the quality of the regular NRL season.
Just because you disagreed with me doesn't mean my argument was lol worthy.
It's not my problem if you won't even bother trying to form an argument. If that is the sort of tripe you want to post you aren't worth having a discussion with anyway.

its like the origin game for afl vook. except the players play for the state their team is from, not their home state.VOOK said:
least thats my understanding
You play for the state you first played for as a young'un. So you have the possibility of club teammates playing against each other at representative level.
Although several QLDers are breaking this rule IIRC. I think it's because they spent most of their childhood there or whatever. Or they are dirty rotten cheats / better than us

After buying a turntable, I am now in search of a good sound system. I've heard Bose are some of the best quality-for-money speakers you can get, and my mate has a Bose system which sound fantastic. Can anyone recommend where to buy sound systems? I only want a 2.1 system, not 5.1 since it'll be for my room and it's not really big enough for a 5.1 system. Tried JB HIFI today but no dice on Bose, they don't stock 'em.

From the outside, unfortunately, I wouldn't know.
If you hang around as a post-graduate, as far as I can tell, it ends up either being something you do
a) as somehow part of the requirements (in a nebulous 'participation' sense)
b) as an act of (lol) goodwill
c) as a way to make money
d) as a way to indicate that you're serious about an academic career
There is something called mentoring going on as well - I think that largely involves more advanced post-grads having coffee with honours students. Unremunerated.
Fuck that.
OH GOD, I HOPE THE NEXT TIME I TRY TO ACTIVATE THE WITCHER 2 IT SOMEHOW, BY FORCES OF FORBIDDEN MAGICAL POTENCY, MANAGES TO FUCKING WORK.
Although Crysis is splendid, and Anno 1404 is pretty great. I am barely managing to stay solvent, though. I built a huge fucking expanse of stonemason's sheds and hemp fields and the like, but I didn't actually figure out how to make any money.

QLD definitely lucky to get away with the win. Couple of dodgy calls in favour of QLD.
Heh, NSW wasn't so shit after all, were they Choc? I'll bet it was better to watch the game than MasterShit.Choc said:
NSW forwards need more passion and Brett Morris needs to fuck off and have Jarryd Hayne take his spot. A backline of Uate, Gasnier, Dugan, Jennings and Hayne would be very dangerous.
The pass in-goal by Gallen was a heart-stopper. What he was thinking, I have no idea.
Don't go 2.1, if you find some nice bookshelf speakers, you can go for a plain 2.0 stereo setup and you'll be laughing. Mate of mine has a pair of Dynaudio DM 2/6's with a Yamaha stereo amp (almost grabbed the equivalent Denon, which was just as nice), got the lot for around $1k, and it sounds absolutely incredible. If a subwoofer was thrown in with this setup, it would sound atrocious. Any reputable audio retailer will tell you the same. If they don't, walk out and buy elsewhere, cause they're trying to rip you off.Madrical said:

Hate to say it (as a Manly supporter) but Jason King did nothing, should definitely drop him. Would love to see Watmough in the side, he gets up for those big games.

Did you even check the thread I linked?
ATC SCM 10-2 Active Loudspeakers is about $3.5k.
If you want to know about speakers, try PMing witchfindergeneral, he knows his stuff. I'm strictly a headphone guy.
or

Also, do you a good amplifier? No point getting fancy speakers without proper amp to support it methinks.
Look at Dynaudio bookshelf speakers like the ones here and look at a stereo amplifier like the ones here, I hear Rotel make nice ones. I have heard Dynaudio speakers and can vouch for them sounding great for my taste in music (rock).Madrical said:
As with Waikis, I am more partial to headphones also.
I'll check it in a bit.Waikis said:
...just had a quick read, saw the third post was someone saying 'anything by Bose' and thought you guys were trolling me, then scrolled down a bit and saw everyone laughing at him! That bad, huh? Noted.
And yep, need a decent amp too. I'm using a really old one, it'll do the trick for now, but it has no HDMI, so I won't be able to hook PS3/360 up to it. No point having good speakers and a crap amp.
Agyar gave me a lot of good advice when I was trying to buy.

7.2 set up for $1100. Chuck on a receiver for around $400 and you'll be set.

Screw the other guys. If you're after a 2.1 system because you only ever listen to music, get a 2.1 system. If, on the other hand, you listen to a combination of music, movies and games, then a 5.1 or even 7.1 system is still definitely worth it.
The most important thing you can do at this point (just like when going out to buy anything, or seeking advice to do so) is tell us how much you want to spend (you already mentioned $2.5k) and what you want to do with it.
$2.5k won't get you audiophile stuff, but if you want to look at good equipment I suggest checking out B&W speakers since I like the sound of most of their speakers. If only I had the cash to actually get some home. Also, do you need a receiver/amp, as that will change the criteria too.
And yeah, don't get Bose. Their equipment is targeted at people who want something that sounds good, but not necessarily sounds right. And there's a very big difference.
