Hi, I'm in business, and when I fly, I like to feel special...

Meanwhile I can barely afford to fly. Arses!

typed up a comment here but dont want to be banned for having amazing realestate agent stores so i backspaced

I've had some good ones before, but they've either a) passed on our property to a younger, inexperienced agent (likely because we're amazing tenets), or b) screwed us over in the bond once we left.

They get paid a great wage for doing fuck all. A mate of mine is a real estate agent and he has gotten progressively more douchey since he took the job 4 years ago. Thankfully he hasn't forgotten who he is around us but you still catch glimpses of it when he interacts with other people. Plus he looks like Noel Fielding so it is hard to stay irritated at him.

Yeah, its the douche bag vibe with the guys that throws me off, and the pretentious snooty bitch with the women that pisses me off. Applying for houses is like going for a job interview, only they don't want you and giving you the place is a personal favour of theirs.

On the plus side, I decided bacon wasn't the end boss of cooking with a non-stick pan, and decided to try dumplings. They've screwed me over in the past, but not this time. VICTORY.

Oh god if you move into Thornbury we'll be like neighbours.

Ausgaf closing in!

oh god

 

[reptilescorpio]

Lol, softcock...

That was the end result yes. Even Kate Upton wouldn't get a rise out of me after a few mouthfuls of that urine.

 

[Yagharek]

Oh wow. I found out that someone I know is on beauty and the geek.

There are not enough facepalms.

edit: and my wife's friend says they should rename the show "aspies and exhibitionists".

Someone I know was on the Australian version of Ladette to Lady.

Yeah a dude from my highschool was on the last one, year above me

 

[Yagharek]

And before I forget to post, one of our past real estate agents was on the block too.

 

[Doncamatic]

I went to school with a guy who is on it. He was a weird dude.

 

[reptilescorpio]

I went to school with a dude who was on Farmer Wants A Wife last year. He said he went on so he could bang some chicks. Oh Dev you rascal! Everyone gives him shit for it.

 

[Deeku]

Our real estate agent drives expensive super cars so I guess he's a douche.

Spoiler

He's actually really good at what he does and is not a douche

 

[FallbackPants]

Ha, a guy my girlfriend used to work with won the last one. I think he was the one that won. I wasn't paying that much attention.

In Gears related news:

Spoiler

I actually teared up at what Dom did in Mercy, I'm not going to say what it was because i'm double spoiler proofing this, but for a game with pretty piss poor storytelling, that was great.
And the retro lancer kicks all sorts of arse.

And I just cooked this amazing thai curry, only to realise just before it was done that i'd forgot to put on rice.

 

[Rezbit]

Someone I know was on the Australian version of Ladette to Lady.

Funnily enough I met a proper English gentleman in Scotland who was on that show...the Ladette's had to impress a whole bunch of posh blokes at a dinner party or something lol.

Jesus god fucking christ I want to find out whoever designed the last level of Days of Ruin and kick them in the groin

There's two types of difficulty in games, Intelligent Systems, and that's actual situational difficulty and fake difficulty, and I can deal with superweapon systems that I can at least destroy, overwhelming enemy forces, and even with an enemy CO who DOUBLES attack and defence, has a huge-ass CO zone, and REPAIRS EVERY UNIT IN THE ZONE, but fuck your goddamn unkillable mortars that deal 5 damage to everything in a 9-square cross and cover half the goddamn map. Jesus fucking christ.

In less aggravated news, anybody know where I could get a HDMI to DVI cable on the cheap? Saw two places on amazon.co.uk and amazon.com, but as usual they don't ship to my address or shipping is twenty times what I'm paying for the item.

eBay dude. I've used these guys before and they were great. Maybe a plug adapter would be more helpful?

You could just grab one of these, do you have a Jaycar nearby? Is $16 too expensive?

http://jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?ID=PA3642&keywords=hdmi+dvi&form=KEYWORD

Forget that, ebay seems much cheaper!

And I just cooked this amazing thai curry, only to realise just before it was done that i'd forgot to put on rice.

I recently discovered the awesomeness that is aged basmati rice, two-year-old for the win. Plus rinsing it before you cook it. The grains are as long as your arm!

Found my bottle of Macallan 12yo Elegancia in the cupboard. Totally forgot it was there. Time for a few drinks!

Jintor, try dealextreme.com for ultra cheap cables. Slow delivery though.

 

[Yagharek]

What's that, codswallop? Some kind of whiskey? I can't drink that, I blame it on the gag reflex induced from knocking off a bottle of vodka solo as a 17yo.

In other news, today I bought Xenoblade. I'm part of the solution.

edit: Modern Family is one of the greatest sitcoms. Too early to rank it up there with Seinfeld (it's not likely to make it that high either) or Married with Children, but it is highly enjoyable.

Same with big bang theory.

Yup, scotch. Any cheap booze will elicit a gag reflex compared to it's nicer brethren. Try a nicer vodka - maybe Grey Goose or Belvedere...

I have an JRPG itch after visiting their home, Xenoblade may just scratch that itch.

YES!!!!!!!

 

[codswallop]

YES!!!!!!!

I prefer Grey Goose myself, but that is compared to the Belvedere Intense that I had last. Both are great though. Been wondering what vodka to try next...

 

[Yagharek]

Hmm, scotch, whiskey et al are always drinks that look like they would be tasty to me, but probably not in the way Ive ever imagined they might.

I do like wine though, mostly red. Don't ask me to name names.

 

[codswallop]

I'm not a fan of the real peaty, smokey whiskies, or the really weak watery ones (like Glenlivet).

I bought a bottle of A'Bunadh last year and don't want to finish, I enjoy it so much. It's like drinking dark chocolate.

Ebay, I bought 2 some time ago for my housemate's macbook. They were like 5-6 bucks each. I have a spare one if you want....

 

[jambo]

Service Pack 1 fixed my issue, fuckin' weird that Windows was fine for the past few days.

 

[Deeku]

Jesus god fucking christ I want to find out whoever designed the last level of Days of Ruin and kick them in the groin

Heh, I've actually never finished an Advance Wars game. Last level was always too hard. I get more out of perfecting maps in War Room.

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

Coincidence? I used the same seller.

 

[jambo]

Is F1 2011 hosted on any Aussie servers? I'm getting fucking terrible speeds, like 90 KB/sec =\

 

[reptilescorpio]

Coincidence? I used the same seller.

I think it is just the shear amount of items they have up for sale! Plus their great standing in the ebay community.

We should hang out sometime. I have scotch AND whiskey here.

 

[Planet_JASE]

What is it with real estate agents thinking their hot shit, as if their job is some insanely respectable, unmatchable career choice that nobody bar them can do?

Yes, they really do make you take a look at your own life and say "shit, I really fucked up my life. Why couldn't I have chosen a career where I make a difference every day?!? Why? Why? WWWWHHYYYYYYY?!?!

This photo also includes Taryn Onofaro who makes me very happy to watch TV sometimes. Rarely see her anymore though.

Taren... sigh. Sofie... sigh. Together... jizzinmypants.gif
Begin stalkery knowledge now: Taren got married, gave up television to move to where her husbands job took him (WA, I think). Possibly living housewife life. End staklery knowledge.

Yeah a dude from my highschool was on the last one, year above me

Last one? Hang on, that infers there have been multiple seasons? Oh, television... how could you.

In less aggravated news, anybody know where I could get a HDMI to DVI cable on the cheap? Saw two places on amazon.co.uk and amazon.com, but as usual they don't ship to my address or shipping is twenty times what I'm paying for the item.

While thiese guys aren't as cheap as the ones reptile linked too (which surprisingly wasn't an OzGameShop link) I've used these people before: clicky <- this link is actually for an adapter, so you can use any existing HDMI cable you have.

 

[ClivePwned]

Modern Family is one of the greatest sitcoms.

yes it is. That, 30 Rock, Community and Curb Your Enthusiasm. Apparently there are other sitcoms on TV, but I'm just not aware of their existence. I think there's possibly one Emilio Estevez was on until he was replaced recently. I'm not sure. I wasn't paying attention.

 

[roosters93]

p.s. luke millions - arnold is currently the best song in JJJs rotation

A truer thing was never spoken

 

[Shaneus]

Holy fuck. Just found out that it's possible my overclocking woes may be due to using a 6-pin PCI-E adaptor rather than an 8-pin one. If I can find one tomorrow, I could be one happy chappy!

PS. It's fucking ridiculous how good Sofie Formica still looks. I remember having a thing for her when I was in my early teens. 18 years later and she still looks really fucking good.

PerthGAF meetup may be a good idea.

And this is why cute is always better than hot. Cute ages really nicely, hot fades fast.

How much are tickets to the EB thing anyway?

 

[Cohsae]

You need to watch Parks & Recreation. Immediately. 1st season isn't anything particularly amazing (as far as I remember anyway), but season 2 just gets better and better, and season 3 is gold start to finish.

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

Anyone have recommendations for healthy snack food?

I usually have roasted almonds. Fruits are the best though...and if you need protein, couple of boiled eggs will do.

I finished the whole thing last night >_>

Looks incredible? Though you can afford a $700 lego and not a better camera?

The milking comes from the wide reach of media it has taken. Like, fucking, Halo sports drinks and shit.

And on the seventh day... Jambo rested

Can't stop laughing.

I can't really talk either Jambo, I'm a seriously hairy dude. Beard and everything.

*hairy brofist*

You're not hairy until you have hair between your ass cheeks.

In all my years searching for porn, I have never come across shock sites. People always link them to you.

You should visit all the shock sites you can, so in case you ever come upon something nasty in realty, it won't make you puke your guts out. Instead you'll be a champ where everyone else would be swimming in their own vomit. That's what I do...

The conversation over the past half-page or so takes me back to the days when I surfed on a 28.8k modem and GoEureka was my default search engine. Do you remember the anticipation you felt as you waited for a picture to load one pixel row at a time?

Those days were magical, in a primitive, gross kind of way.

Hah, dial up modems....those were the days. Getting up at night, covering the modem with a thick towel so that no once can hear it dialing to the internet, then spending one hour saving low res pictures on a floppy disk to exchange with friends.

I remember a mate once bringing around a floppy disk filled with fake nudes of Gillian Anderson and Alicia Silverstone. That was a magical day.

10000 kilometers away, the same thing happened. Fakes of Britney Spears and Alicia Silverstone. Though the Gillian Anderson ones were mostly real.

I download at an average of 3.0MB/s.

Hmm, I get roughly 2Mbps from browser downloads, but accelerators boost it up to 2.5Mbps.

$400+ electrical bill

Mine was $700 last month, $610 if paid before due date. Luckily, shared between 4.

I get 20% discounted bill from my provider because a friend's brother works for them.

 

[roosters93]

Same reason Grolsch tastes so much better in the original bottles, not the licensed version they sell everywhere here. Different water, different grains, different taste!

This makes me sad. I had a bottle at the cinema over in Amsterdam and thought it was decent so would buy some in the future here. Are the bottles with the thingys on the top sold here imported or just licensed stuff in the fancy bottles?

Oh wow. I found out that someone I know is on beauty and the geek.

There are not enough facepalms.

edit: and my wife's friend says they should rename the show "aspies and exhibitionists".

I have never heard this term till now!

I prefer Grey Goose myself, but that is compared to the Belvedere Intense that I had last. Both are great though. Been wondering what vodka to try next...

What does one drink Vodka with?

 

[Planet_JASE]

It's fucking ridiculous how good Sofie Formica still looks. I remember having a thing for her when I was in my early teens. 18 years later and she still looks really fucking good.

First off, how dare you post script Sofie and she does look better now than she ever has. My tastes in women have always fallen into... how do I put this without sounding horrible... girl next door(?) looks over supermodels. I can imagine living the rest of my life with someone like that, which I can't do with a supermodel.

Spoiler

So who wants to make the "it's because you have a better shot with them than you do a supermodel, which is to say slightly less than fucking negative?

And this is why cute is always better than hot. Cute ages really nicely, hot fades fast.

I like you.

 

[reptilescorpio]

Taren... sigh. Sofie... sigh. Together... jizzinmypants.gif
Begin stalkery knowledge now: Taren got married, gave up television to move to where her husbands job took him (WA, I think). Possibly living housewife life. End staklery knowledge.

Oh man, I have to move all the way to WA to stalk her? Lame. I was hoping my mastery of keeping my boy cute and alive would woo her over. Little dude is a chick magnet, incredible to watch. He will do very well with the ladies at school which will be nice to see (as in I didn't not that I like school girls you sick minded people).
True story, my gf's mother group went to a play group every week in Geelong that was also attended by Catriona Rowntree, another of my fantasy TV women growing up. Pretty sure she lives out in Lara somewhere.

This makes me sad. I had a bottle at the cinema over in Amsterdam and thought it was decent so would buy some in the future here. Are the bottles with the thingys on the top sold here imported or just licensed stuff in the fancy bottles?

You can get both here. Make sure to grab the pop tops and read the side of the box to make sure they are imported and not just bottled here as I have seen both. The regular long neck bottles are all locally brewed though I am fairly certain.

I swear I've played a game where you could do that. Can't fucking remember...

Grand Theft Auto games. At least GTA3 I am sure of.

Tell us more.

My head is full of Simpsons. Simpsons did everything.

I dont know if I should classify it as sitcom since it's a bit different, but my absolute favourite would have to be Blackadder.

My most enthusiastic contrafibularities to anyone who can name a better one, however.

Fawlty Towers. Also incredible.

 

[Salazar]

This was my exact same reaction on my first visit to the UK.

Cider is the right move, as long as you don't have to cross any roads in the immediate future.

This new 24'' monitor is friggin' sweet.

Pity the rest of my hardware ain't set up yet :T

I should have double checked what I bought, this Samsung BX2440 doesn't have a HDMI input. OH WELL $7 CABLE TIEM

current card doesn't even support dual monitors. Good thing I upgraded. Bad thing half the components aren't here yet

 

[Salazar]

It doesn't top Blackadder, but have you seen Coupling ?

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

You fool, they almost always had a volume control hidden in there somewhere.

You don't think I tried that? Our connection was really crappy, and the modem was old. There was no volume setting, and if the phone rang the internet would disconnect. My sister used to annoy me everyday by making random phone calls when I was using the net.
