the 14 year old in bali on drug charges
Posted 11.10.2011 @ 6.33AM
@looney how can you ask me which law I'd rather be tried in, then proceed to discuss the unfairness of the Australian law system in regards another case. I just see these as totally unrelated and that's dangerous to draw any comparisons between them for the sake of both parties.
Comparing the experience of someone from a war torn, famine ravaged country who has most likely been separated from family and cultural ties for years at a time, and who faces possible deportation back to that country with a 14 year old accused of buying drugs in a state with harsh anti drug laws with the full diplomatic powers that be negotiating his release and fair treatment as two ends of very different strings.

@Scarlett I am on a bit of a yellow jag at the moment! It is a reoccurring theme
@looney It's a Snelling and I almost pee'd my pants when I found the pair of them. In fact Mr Gidget thought my waters had broken I had such shocked/excited look on my face ;)
Census - 'No religion'
Posted 26.07.2011 @ 10.38AM
That sounds fairly speculative. According to this http://www.eurekastreet.com.au/article.aspx?aeid=24159 Australia has had a number of PMs who were/are non-believers. Atheists are just as bad true-believers and I find the whole Jedi & Pastafarian thing to be somewhat disrespectful.
FYI I'm not religious.
@Pyro Everyone knows the religious prefer DNB.
@dave Making a comparison between someones faith and the absurd seems disrespectful. I think it's pretty unlikely a religious persons beliefs hold much truth but at the same time I don't need to mock them.
@Looney I never mentioned churches. What I mean is atheists are just as bad as true-believers in their dogmatic approach to their version of the truth
@looney How does any of that address what I said. All I am saying is that being sure there is no god is just as bad as being sure there is a god. Of course you could argue over the semantic definition of atheism.

Have you even read my clarification?

clarification of what?
sorry i just do not see anywhere where you have clarified how i am as bad as some group of bile throwing, fantasy led zealots
all i want is those who have no faith to let it be known

next sunday?
he got some spunk?
other than that get your arse over here
you'll love it, been here over 30 years now from london, top place it is, great people and mostly with a good attitude to life
i hate nike but 'just do it', you may have to do something else for a while, but so what
if you want it on a platter don't bother
and remember to never complain, if you do you are marked a winger, the only way this is not so you are not a brit, if someone gives you a hard time they want to be your friend, tell them to poke it (men over here for the most part hate people who don't stand up for themselves), your bond will be permanent if you do, even women have a tendency to do this so re-work the poke it bit into a more physical interaction
never challenge a large roo to a fight and whatever anyone says never lick a toad
if someone says they have a bomb, even of middle east appearance, they mean their car is a shit heap
--------------------
but the most important bit of advice i can give is
NEVER EVER GO TO A BBQ WITH NOTHING, ALWAYS TAKE MORE THAN YOU WILL EAT AND DRINK, EVEN IF THEY TELL YOU IT'S ALL PROVIDED, IT IS LIKE TURNING UP AT A WEDDING WITH A WREATH
Anti-virus software help (Mac)
Posted 15.05.2012 @ 8.07AM
i recently got mackeeper, also have mcafree security, but in over 18 years never had a virus so who knows if it's worth it, never bothered till about 1 year ago, why?, someone spooked me, i think much is hype by these companies
i also know many pc users never had one, so best advice is be careful what you download on your work computer and never let anyone else on it
the client that doesn't know what they want
Posted 10.05.2012 @ 8.12AM
the client is not always right, they sometimes cannot see the wood for the trees, are unable to take a backward step and see their business from another viewpoint
when they say 'different' i take a sharp intake of breath, when they show me their opposition's designs and say 'we want something like that' i run
some of best work has been knocked back, the solution, for the most part, turns out to be a compromise ticked off by committee
right now i am working on a whole campaign for a new bis, the boss loved what i did, no one else did, i do note that most don't say anything until someone else does, if that comment is negative they jump on board, too scared or lacking the ability to think for themselves, last job for them the same thing happened, the boss said sod them i want it, it sold bucket loads
such is life

Thanks guys much appreciated :)
@Looney good tip! I actually did my council research on the matter, and seemed to be in the clear. I think that the building owners (who run the shop next door too) are just push-overs, and after the tenants complained they want to keep the peace. The matter isn't finalised, so I'm hoping it can be negotiated.
