Now that I have the internet I can share this delightful easter egg I found in Infamous 2.

I especially enjoyed the "Repairs in only 12 weeks!" joke. Although I have had 2 rrod myself. :(

I think the bigger problem with any current reno shows is that they got guitar hero'd years ago when there was one or two per channel on. Cooking shows will probably be the same in five years time.

the difference is you can if you want as a home cook buy quality food ingredients and spend a bit but

1. its no where near as much as 16 million dollars

2. its no where near as risky


The fact is, they do not cook spag bol on Mchef, but what they cook (90%) is in reach of the common man if they put effort into it. Yes there is crazy shit with liquid nitrogen but other than that, its all cookable, if you are willing to try and pay a bit for the ingredients

owning a 16 million dollar home is so far beyond most humans its not funny.

Finally moved all my junk into my new place, which is pretty nice, but I have worse tv reception than I did in western Queensland. I have to go and buy a god damn booster tomorrow. The fuck Ipswich? Pick up your game.

And its going to take tpg up to 20 days to connect my internet. Why? What do they have to do that can't be flicked on from an office? They're not installing the phone lines themselves. If only they didn't have such a good deal

My housemate has dosed me up on something which is working, but thanks, I'll pick some up next time I'm there for when the next one hits.

Its completely ruined my weekend, which was further ruined by indigestion and stomach issues all through Friday/Saturday.

I know right, they're done surely. Talk about losing momentum at the wrong time of the year. And with cronk and Blair hurt for Melbourne the finals are wife open. Anyone in the top 8 could win. Been a great season.

There is little to no difference between Nurofen Migraine and plain old Nurofen, maybe try Nurofen Plus or Panafen Plus (generic) instead.

Trust me I'm a pharmacist

You might not even make finals and I hope you don't for costing me a free whopper.

WHO LOSES TO RICHMOND! Ah well, 4th for West Coast :).

Also don't get Nurofen, get Mersyndol. That shit will knock you out but it does its job.

doesn't work that way...

they make a request to Telstra to unbundle the local loop and then it gets done when it gets done. (mine took about 5 working days)

IInet also takes up to 20 days. They're piggybacking over someone else's infrastructure and Telstra don't always play fair. (I'm sure if you call telstra up and complained about your problems they'll say no worries, it'll be done in a couple of days :p )

ps: if by some miracle the NBN survives the next election, NBNco is aiming to cut time to churn to literally minutes apparently.

http://www.computerworld.com.au/article/386244/nbn_co_aims_solve_activation_blame_game/

If all goes to plan with the National Broadband Network, internet service providers may no longer be able to use the age-old excuse of "It's Telstra's fault!" for activation delays. According to NBN Co’s industry integration manager, an uncomplicated activation should take no longer than five minutes.

Presenting to an industry information forum this week, Martin Pittard said “logical provisions” of NBN services to end users should not extend beyond five minutes under the wholesaler’s goal.

“Where there’s infrastructure at the end-user’s premise and all we’re doing is changing attributes on the network — there’s no physical workforce required — our goal is to turn up or activate that service in five minutes or less,” he said.

Signed up telstra for the phone on a Thursday. Line was active on Monday, called EFTel and signed up over the phone. Was up and running on Thursday. They were really helpful over the phone and on whirlpool. Couldnt be happier with them so far.

Hot-damn. Watching Eddie Murphy's 'Raw' standup performance (a staple of anyone's university share-house upbringining) with people born after the eighties makes for some akward viewing. I remember this being hilarious, yet having to explain cultural references from another era is making it painful.

I will struggle to care from this point in! Swans ain't gonna beat Saints, or Geelong. Might beat Bears. No way of making finals. Don't deserve to really. Essendon just starting to get some good players back.

Also damn I need a new computer. Wondering if I should wait til Bulldozer comes out to see if it reduces the price on the intel shiz.

Nothing else makes me laugh quite as hard as Raw. Every time I watch it, I literally almost die during the shitting bit. That and the houseburger.

Nurofen contains anti inflamitories too right? That might be what brings down the migrane. I know when the boy has a bad teething episode nurofen is great as it takes down the swelling.

Nurofen Migraine is just another one of Nurofen's "specific treatment" products that are essentially all just higher doses of ibuprofen with a fancy label. Their tension headache, migraine, whatever ones are all just a 340-something mg dose of ibuprofen per tablet (as opposed to 200mg in a normal tablet). You could achieve the same thing by taking three normal, pharmacy-brand ibuprofen tablets and save some money.

At least Nurofen Plus contains Codeine, which is a muscle relaxant.

That is why my friend. Slippery slope. Soon you will be engrossed in My Little Pony and quitting your job to write fan fiction.
Sorry MLP lovers, I don't mind it myself either.
