The Down Under Lounge

With my NBN I get 6 months of a free Presto which is Foxtel. After that 6 months is up I plan to sign up with Netflix rather than giving Rupert my money.


Last e-mail I had from my mum she mentioned about going NBN (she'd moved from Telstra wireless to ADSL but the copper on the street is shit and she had problems).

She has s smart tv, tablet, wireless setup at home so I suggested she goes Netflix and drop the foxtel.

be nice if she could completely tell rupert go frig himself but being in Adelaide if you want the daily paper news scum is your only option.


Oh how I agree....Also in Adelaide here and while my ISP is good the internet is pretty bad 1.3 mbs on a good day..
 
A misogynist, a racist and a homophobe walk into a bar, and the barman says, "What can I get you, Tony?"
 
Hockey says rich people pay too tax. It like he thinks pensioners and working poor should be worried about how hard it is to budget when a person earns $180,000+ plus a year.
 
Okay so I'm watching RLM's commentary track of "Batman and Robin".

Why the HELL do Americans have to say everything differently? My grandmother used to say they just want to be contrary.

Elle Macpherson is NOT pronounced "Mac-FEER-sen".

Here's a clue - how about asking the person themselves how THEIR OWN NAME is bloody pronounced!!!!

Also - what sounds more normal, to call your fringe a fringe, or to call a fringe "bangs".

Does that mean Americans go to see art shows and performances at the annual "Bangs Festival"? Cuz that sounds ALL KINDS of WRONG!!!!!


Just venting.
 
Anyone wanted to go out to Melbourne tomorrow? Funny stuff that Border Farce thing wasn't it?

What direction is Australia going?
 
This morning I had the idea that it would be fun for me to fly to Melbourne and walk around the CBD wearing a hijab.
 
Not much use in me doing it now that it has been cancelled.

I believe that there is a law that says that foreigners are meant to carry their visas but as far as I know Australians don't have to. If a policeman asked me for ID I think I would refuse to show it. I only have a state ID card, and a pension card, as I don't have a license or a passport.

I ran into trouble a couple of weeks ago because I didn't have the neccessary ID to register for the NBN online. I had to phone instead.
 
That Border Force thing was a little scary to start with.

"You look foreign. Papers please."

Now, as usual with the Govt., it descended into farce and protests.

It's a beautiful world we live in, a sweet romantic place...

I love how Abbott and his minister said "we didn't know this was happening" yeah right..... we believe that.

bit like how Downer, Howard and Vaile failed to see the diplomatic telexes about the Australian Wheat Board engagine in illegal practices.
 
Waited all afternoon for the NBN technician to turn but he didn't. Now I gather Telstra has to rebook and it might be a couple of weeks before I get another appointment.
 
I heard that other minorities such as the Yazidis and Druze are being considered as well.

The Druze are sort of Islamic, though most other Muslims consider them to be heretics.
