Has anyone been to Prague and the Czech Republic? Hopefully I will be studying the UK for a semester and I am trying to decide where I would like to go for mini trips because I will have limited time and money. I've heard Prague is relatively inexpensive and interesting. Anyone got any...

I have worked for Coles, Cirque du Soleil (through Adecco), my parent's pizza shop, a cafe, a hospitality functions casuals agency (still work for them, it is called Bluestone), Harvey Norman (Electricals dept) and self employed tutoring work.

Maybe he had his english mixed up?

I don't think there is a dance club or anything like that. There are the salsa classes at the glasshouse bar, and there is a funk class at UTS gym on Fri night that is about it.

There are two shocking photos of the bus that exploded at SMH online http://www.smh.com.au/ http://www.smh.com.au/news/world/shock-wave-that-swept-a-city/2005/07/08/1120704504645.html For anyone that wants news straight from the British sources try The Times and Guardian sites they are...

I can't believe some people are being so immature in a thread about another tragic attack where innocent lives have been lost. Get some perspective and show a bit of respect. The details are all so sketchy at the moment, I've been watching Sky News but not much is clear. My thoughts go...

My Restaurant Rules was fairly tame.... those huge kitchens in 5 star hotels and stuff would be the most stressful I reckon.

You should source where you get your articles from. It is really important to source articles, even when you are posting something that isn't really very discussion worthy.

The only type of subfora I think would be useful could possibly be a forum about writing, because a lot of people here are involved in their own writing (whether it is novels, poetry, features) and this stuff gets all mixed in with the book talk. Other than that it is fine.

Since most people have pointed out the negetives, here are some of the positives. -Once you are qualified and have some experience you can pick and choose where you want to work. Chefs are usually quite transient, and if one place pisses you off you can get a job somewhere else pretty...

Examples of a person who doesn't need it; -Girl whose parents paid her to go on a European holiday for a year and then when she came back she was eligible. She spents her YA solely on clothes and shoes while her loaded parents pay all her uni fees. She also drives a really expensive car...

I think saying that society has become misandrist is a bit crazy... I mean, take a look at pop culture. Women still define themselves by their attractiveness and ability to get a man. Objectification of women is still rife- it just takes a different form these days. In the corporate world...

Do you mean Ian Ross? He gets paid 1 mil a year to read the Sydney news. He commutes from the Gold Coast.

For my yr 12 formal the stupid hairdresser did a totally different style to what we had discussed and it was shite. I was so pissed off. We had to go to her since she was a family friend. She has closed down now though. One hairdresser totally butchered my mum's hair and it has never...

I think it is zany to try and make comparison between Murdoch's media ownership and a communist country which basically outlaws freedom of the press. Even if you think there is a right wing agenda at News Ltd, which is probably true to an extent, Murdochs control still has far less of an...

In the US there is the first amendment right of freedom of speech... far more press freedom than China! A girl in my journo class who comes from China was telling me that a friend wrote an article that was critical of the government and posted it on the internet and she was jailed. That is...

Yeah it doesn't really surprise me.... it sucks, but it's the way it goes sometimes with editors etc.

At Harvey Norman we constantly had to listen to that bloody Harvey Norman jingle, ya know go harvey go harvey etc. Nearly drove me insane and I only worked there a couple of months. Then at Coles they kept on playing the Spray and Wipe jingle continually grrrrr. When I worked at Cirque du...

Koch isn't a journalist now. He is a presenter. He used to have some street cred... could tell you how to fix up the books and all dat. The day when his credibility rating fell to zero on my scale was when he hosted the national life expectancy test. Then he well and truly joined the ranks...

We did some stuff on the "anti terror" laws and really it is quite appalling. They can hold you for up to two weeks (I think, memory is rusty) for interrogation, and then when you are released you can't tell anyone where you have been! "Sorry I didn't pick you up from school kids, I went on an...
