Re: The Official Cricket Thread Well I disagree we were outplayed in 05, but the last Ashes series turned at Cardiff. England were comprehensively outplayed and got out of that with a draw that felt like a win just to what I maintain is Ponting's ineptitude in not managing his bowlers...

Re: The Official Cricket Thread Well look at his side? Sure we are in decline with no Warne, McGrath, Gilchrist, Hayden, Langer, Waughs et. al. but its still a very good side. He has lost two Ashes, he bowled part timers at the cost of a test match victory to save his skin, he is tactically...

Re: The Official Cricket Thread We batted poorly because it was a green pitch on a cloudy day. Terrible decision from a terrible captain. Victories like these paper over cracks.

Re: The Official Cricket Thread Worst toss decision of the millennium but we still get away with it. I think that speaks volumes for the ineptitude of Pakistan rather than how good we are. Paki's got what they deserved after giving Hussey and Siddle a picnic before lunch.

My fav gun in the game is the ACR (red dot sight) but since I can't get anymore XP from it, I'm jumping from assault rifle to assault rifle. Whatever gun I use, my set is generally the same: Perk 1 - One Man Army Pro Perk 2 - Cold Blooded Pro Perk 3 - Commando Pro One Man Army is just such...

I don't get how this is funny?? We ALWAYS mark down our cans to 50c and sell them, just put them in a trolley at the service desk. Of course they will boost sales if the alternative is Foodbank!

It's really not that hard if you apply yourself. I always set my a distinction as my target in units. Half of the people I talk to seem to live by the 'P's means degrees' mentality, which is all well and good but won't help you later in life.

re: The Official Football Thread If I was choosing two of the three, I would leave Beckham out. The others have more upside. If I was picking one to start, I would pick Walcott over Lennon every time. I love how the EPL continues this week too. I'm 10th in the world on IKTS (out of 240,000...

I got one pass. Sigh. And it was a 64 ahhh!

Whitlam?! Keating I have no issue with. The best Labor PM ever probably. Quick witted and had balls.

The further we get into Rudd's reign of apathy, the more you admire a real leader in Howard. He made the tough decisions, and he got the job done. Such a travesty that Rudd will likely get a second term. Until he gets shafted by the far more astute Gillard, anyway.

I am telling you now, best case scenario they will give you a day in lieu. Just tell them now, sacrifice the hour (preferably on the night before so you get max public rates) and keep their trust. If you rape them here, they will not trust you again and you will unlikely get any extra...

No, it means you will get shot if you don't tell them lol.

Certainly do. Although I try and get out of it lol.

Never had a female SM, but all the STM/SSM's are female, so sort of.

re: The Official Football Thread Lennon is pretty quick too. But Walcott has much more skill.

Why don't you just stay and do a double degree with Media here? Would save some considerable logistical hurdles. Unless UoW has some awesome rep for journalism/you are moving down there.

I don't want to sound unnecessarily harsh, but if your UAi/ATAR is less than 50 (probably even 70) then you shouldn't be thinking about uni. You won't survive. Uni is a harsh marking entity and frankly you will struggle to pass units. This every high school student has to go to uni way of...

We had no joke over 200 calls today asking when we were opening/closing. We may have just opened. The SDA seems happy to trumpet that they got Boxing dDay off for their workers, but what about those who aren't in the SDA and would rather work? I certainly wouldn't say no to the money. Although...

My roster is 5-2 Monday, so I will be nominating that day. Although technically I worked 9 hrs today too so it really doesn't matter. And 8 hrs New Years Day to come as well - good pay slips coming up!
