Shouldn't we know what most Aus-gaffers look like from real-pic January?

daaaaaamn this is amazing. I might use it for my next avatar.

In lieu of such, a picture of me digesting breakfast and still waking up.

You look a little bit out of it. Where's the delicious hot breakfast you were talking about ;.;

Besides, if you take enough portraits, you'll end up not looking terrible in at least a few.

Unless you never smile or change your pose.

Yeah, that's kind of the attitude I take too. I blink a lot, so I end up with half open eyes in the majority of photographs I'm in. Need to take a few to get it right =/

Shanshan, how tiny are you?

D: How huge are those hands?!?!?

I got 50 creme eggs last year. I don't think I'll ever eat another one again.

Shan, check the expiry date. Probably best to put them in the freezer.

hahaha. I might do that anyway. Brisbane weather is not good for chocolate, summer or not. Did you get yours on catch of the day too?

Unfortunately, we have the short-term memory of... uh... mammals... small ones... lives in burrows...

I hate how 'read' and 'read' (phonetically as in red) are spelt the same. ENGLISH, YOU SUCK, ONE IS PAST TENSE.

So I was just not on the phone with somebody that is not related to me, who is not working on some sort of legal matter for some big "fruit" company.

Fascinating behind the scenes stuff!

i honestly never thought that we would get to 1984 stages in Australia but we are pretty fucking close with this

they want to take DNA from EVERY CHILD BORN IN NSW to keep in case that kid commits a crime

So much for presumption of innocence. Everyone is a suspect. Any child who may have stolen from the cookie jar gets a visit from nsw police and a taser shock.

Yeah, got them from catch of the day. From memory, mine had an expiry date 1 or 2 months after they arrived. I guess that explains why they were cheap. They were still fine several months later in the freezer though. I didn't even eat most of them, because turns out I don't really like them. That was my first time eating them.

Also, they come in two different sizes, which might explain Omi's gigantic hands.

I guess it makes it easier when catching criminals. What if someone breaks in and their dna isn't in the system?

shan, its the kind of thing you see in a dictatorship

its like the 'Australia Card' that gets floated every so often and some smaller european nations have

Wait, what's wrong with a national id card?

why the fuck should i be forced to carry a card around that has my entire identity on it (name, dob, medicare number etc etc etc) in this age of identity theft

no thanks

and yes people will say you hvae a licence and medicare card, just something about the national card irks aussies

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia_Card

"The idea for the card was raised at the national Tax Summit in 1985 convened by the then Federal Labor government led by Bob Hawke. The card was to amalgamate other government identification systems and act against tax avoidance and health and welfare rorts. "

this is already achieved via ATO Cross checking, and bank checking. All gvt agencies and banks talk to each other these days. Its not needed.

Following the shelving of the Australia Card, the Federal Government introduced a new identification system known as a Tax File Number.

Oh ok, eh I guess. I don't know, I have a hong kong background so I guess I'm used to the idea of an id card situation. Having all that stuff on one card seems kinda handy though.

its the only bill in history i believe that forced a double dissolution, where the Government was returned and the Senate still blocked it.

For anyone that cares, under the constitution the parliament is then joined (HOR and Senate) for a single vote

lol, love the glitchy bugs in ME. Went to leave a mission by holding the correct button down and as the cut scene for leaving the planet occurred, I died. Bizarre.

I met a girl and she wants me to show her around Melbourne on a Saturday night but I have no idea where to go. The places I go to are like live gigs and pubs where friends hang out or somewhere more local to where I am. She's into high fashion and trendy bars with good food and drink. You know what isn't stylish and trendy? A heavy metal gig! So I need ideas on where to go.

Penny Blue bar in the cbd is kinda nice and relaxed, looks nice and great selection of beer! :p

Edit: I missed the food thing, not sure if they do food.

Usually it is the other way around, the outsider is brought into an atmosphere not someone who has no idea about that stuff taking someone who loves that stuff into the situation.

Facebook may also have help.



I would just go get drunk where ever :)

The last time I was in Melbourne, I ate at that masterchef guy's restaurant, the press club. Surprisingly, it was really good! That would probably cover the stylish/trendy and good food part.

Late but whatever: Shan, freeze some eggs. Give them a LONG time in there to make sure they're frozen. Like, a few days. Then, eat them like the unhealthiest apple you've ever eaten. So amazing.

same >_>

bad childhood experience with custard pies :p
NO CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCE IS BAD ENOUGH TO AVOID CUSTARD PIES.

You take that back you soulless bastard.

to know that if I hadn't announced the deal earlier, reptile wouldn't have tried to outdo me with such an obvious, showy post. Revendicated.

Hell yes buy Binary Domain! Then buy Yakuza 1 to 4 + Dead Souls. Then buy F-Zero GX because that game is fucking amazing. Then bow down and admit Nagoshi is your god.

I hope that Binary Domain post is in the steam thread and other related threads Reptile.

I know. She said I could take her to my favorite places but she doesn't seem to be into heavy metal at all and a plain old pub is too boring. I wouldn't actually mind trying new places out anyway, we could both go in fresh at least.

Gin Palace, 1802, Der Raum, Chi Lounge, Red Hummingbird. That ought to do to start.

Oh, food, Mo Vida, Mo Vida Next Door, Hu Tong, that place with shipping containers I forget the name of.

Thanks folks!

There comes a point in a Uni semester called Shit Town, where you have all the assessments and quizzes bunched up in a short amount of time. I have just finished the first Shit Town of the semester where I had 2 assignments and 2 quizzes to do this week, and now I have massive headache and neck pains. Now that it's over I'm going to just play video games non-stop for the next few days.
