Quite a few things, one of them would be the fact that I am still up at 12 and another would be the amazing amount of homework I have to still do in the morning.

Well Cheers.

No trolleys or 'L' plates..very good!

Just a quick but costly yearly payment to the license board so that you can watch Tv.

Anyone caught watching Tv without one is fined.....I'm not kidding.



Yes it must seem like we love a detective drama here in England...what Saturday afternoon would be the same without a couple of episodes of Midsomer Murders or Poirot.....dear oh dear!!

Yes Dr Who is back and has been well received. Apparently the daleks will be returning for another installment this series so something to wet your appetite when the series gets to you in Australia.

Thanks for the info, I will be waiting!

Battlestar has turned into a soap opera in space, with the occasional fight in the street/space/planet to try and keep us interested, BG what a heap/ dog turd/ stupidity of a series.

Wow, other people who hate BSG. My small and incomplete list of BSG hates:
1) I don't like the characters and I want the Cylons to kill them.
2) To much soap and not enough blood.
3) The humans are stupid. Yet another reason they deserve to die...
4) The "ripped from the headlines" political commentary is over the top and noxious.
5) The Cylons are a human creation (I really liked the old set up where the Cylons, were, in fact, a dead race and the androids were their left over robotic guards still defending the empire. True, it morphed a bit over time, but this is where it started.)
6) Cylons are really humans who have enslaved androids. The leaders bleed and have no android/robotic parts and are served by the robotic soldiers...How would you characterize this? When will the real Cylons revolt against their too human-like overlords. Now that might be fun to watch...
7) Cylons have godlike advantages over the humans, and not merely numbers...In fact the Cylons are superior to humans in all ways.

Every time I watch the show I am reminded of how much I don't like it. When I say this, my wife asks me why I watch it..."I don't know"

sorry, nobody cares, this is a bitch thread for me. I also hate fagash. it gets into keyboards,
men that say " I got laid" when thay know the're lying.

stupid flowery curtains with loads of frilly bits.

that boner you get in the morning.

having to be nice to the mother in law.

forgetting that I asked her on our first date was last week 15 years ago

Being reminded that I stole an anniversary by asking her her to marry me on her birthday..

Anniversaries.

I am grumpy. as hell.

That's a happy thing! It means I'm still alive!   



I would have thought that you can afford gourmet dung, Frogboy.   

Well I am grumpy as hell over these gas prices. To see that the bulk of this increase is due to certain refineries needing maintenance (don't they already factor these things in or does the money just go into the CEO's pocket on that one too?). Now 'analysts' are saying that we may not have enough fuel for the summer driving season because of the shortages at the refineries. But the fuel futures for June show the price to be around 2.21 a gallon... but we 'won't see this price' at the pump because even though it will 'cost' 2.21 in June, we will still be paying the 'May' price I guess. They try to explain it but anymore it just sounds like gibberish to me. I'm still baffled by what happened to the 'old school' rules of supply and demand. Can anyone enlighten me as to how this works anymore since I seem to have missed a couple of decades...

I dont like the current weather.

Oh and I have a US history AP test this friday, you can guess how I feel.

Well, we've done this to ourselves. With supply and demand you would think there would now be enough demand to make it profitable to build a new refinery. But the eco-terrorists / Al Gore & Co. have made that impossible. No one will allow a new refinery in their backyard. I live 15 miles from the last refinery built in the US - 30 years ago. I think this might have something to do with the artificial demand we are seeing...

If it takes all of our refineries operating at 95-100% capacity to supply the demand mavbe its time to find a place for a new one.

One of my anti rants is Jon Stewart, Daily show.
He's my light at the ranting tunnels end.

PS, even though I'm a Brit he's my light, lol

Yea, there is a very high demand for skilled workers here in Australia at the moment. And that is mainly due to businesses being unwilling to train staff and apprentices... they all just wan't skilled workers to fall from the sky into their laps!

And no, there is only one deadly variety of spider in Australia - the Funnel web spider. There are others that can make you sick, such as the redback spider but they cannot threaten your life, unless your already very weak from some other condition... but in that case a bottle of vodka would probably be more deadly!

To quote Wikipedia:
"The licence fee represents approximately 75% of the BBC's income. However, the UK's second public broadcaster, Channel 4, has claimed that it may need licence fee income if it is to continue with public broadcasting after the digital switch-over. To this end, on April 25, 2006, it was announced that Channel 4's digital switch-over bill would be paid for from the licence fee."
Basicaly, it's to pay for BBC1, BBC World, BBC News, etc. We have no choice.
Luckily, I don't pay for it, my parents do.
