Article says that Sydney is the most expensive, but inner Melbourne is the least affordable, mainly because our wages are comparatively lower.Choc said:

That's just Jimmy's Vendetta. Joe's Adventure is a lot more like the original campaign.Salazar said:
either way the government needs to do something. What i don't know. Getting rid of NG or restricting it to one proprety only is a good start. Political suicide, but it would fix this mess. Housing is a basic necessity of life and if you can't afford it the government has a serious problem on its hands.
When NZ removed negative gearing their houses went down 30% in the space of a year because investors stopped buying and buying and buying.
Of course houses going 30% down would be very bad for AU banks because they would then have toxic assets on their books, US style.
Unfortunately those who have over borrowed might need to take some pain so houses can be purchased again.

And this is why they won't do it in our lifetime.Choc said:
Basically, if housing remains as unaffordable as it is for the next decade, that means I'll never likely to be able to buy a house in my lifetime unless I have a big change in circumstances (significantly higher salary, move to the country and salary remains the same, etc)

I'm so happy, my friends dad knows Terry Hill (ex-Manly player, Lows add etc.) and he is getting us tickets for the game at Blue-tongue on Friday night, Manly vs Tigers. Last time my friend got to go to the dressing rooms after the game and meet the players... It will be sort of awkward so I'm thinking I might have to strip down as well.
Nice one! I've been a bit less interested in the footy this year as my team are going so badly.
So uh... quite an interesting tale on the train yesterday.
Sitting in the disabled seats on the train when a guy with sunglasses and her wife comes over to me and points to the disabled sign. So I kindly ask him if he would like my seat and he says "Yes please, I have a bung foot and my wife is pregnant." No problems I thought, so I'm standing next to them when she taps me on the back and asks for my name. I tell her, she says she's after baby names and that it's a maybe. Then she asks for my middle name which I proceed to tell her is 'Nathan'. "I don't like Nathan" she replied, "It reminds me of black people YA HUC HUC." To which I blurted out "h-o-okay then". "You know that black rapper Nate-Dog, Nathan reminds me of that" she said. So any way I can smell the weed off her and her husband next to her was completely smashed, he had his head down was spilling his drink everywhere. They had those elevate energy drinks but there was a strong smell of alcohol on top of that in the drinks. Someone got off the train and two kids sat down opposite them, who which she asked for the time. Kid A got out his mobile to check the time, which is what she wanted to see because she then asked to use his phone. Stupidly the kid gave his phone to her which she then used to call her dealer "Can I trade you 4 bottles of alcohol for 20 grams" she asked. When she was about to get off the train she told me how she has been pregnant 8 times and lost 2 babies, she started having babies when she was 16. When I looked at her face I noticed she had about 3 teeth, a bruise on her neck from an injection, she hadn't washed her hair in about a year and she just looked plain fucked up.
That's the shortened version of what happened, keeping in mind I was stuck on the train for an hour with them. It's amazing the contrast when you're having a conversation with someone like that.

...and yes I'm bored at work. Come at me. lol Just doing a data migration from one comp to another, it's taking ages to back up since they're slow as crap, though we're transferring them to their new laptops filled with Core i7s ...
Makes me wonder why these clients need such processing speeds...

I hope you choke on your cornflakes, Jonesy.
Credit card detail theft!
Went to buy some crap on my card declined.
Checked Netbank LOZ you have two separate transactions, one for $3k one for $1,500 made for holidays at Wotif and some dodgy place in Florida, both made in the wee hours this morning when I was dreaming sweet dreams.
Bernbaum am laugh.
Ran to Commonwealth with a printout of my banking history, and by the time I was talking to a service agent, another transaction for ~$1,500 was made. Extra LOLZ bonus points!
Everything is cancelled. I was the USA a month ago and used my card everywhere, and I still buy way too much crap online. Whos to say where I got snatched
Each transaction was in pending before I got to the back and cancelled the card, so Ive gotten on top of it quickly enough. Only downside is that strippers dont take too kindly to IOUs being slipped into their garters.

Maybe restrict negative gearing to new properties only. Don't allow it on established dwellings, this will increase the number of new houses being built while not suffocating the existing property market by having a load of them unavailable due to being investment properties. I have no idea what I am talking about so it might be a stupid idea, but then again, so is negative gearing...

I'm having a problem AusGAF (PC division).
Am wanting to get a htpc and have my eyes set on a hp microserver n36l, however I've done the sums and its about $320 to get it up and running nicely. Though for a little bit over double I could get gaming/htpc computer.
What should I do.

That is gold. They also called it Australia League Football, which doesn't make any sense either.
