I can think of several high profile Maltese Australians. Funilly, they're all caleed Fenech, although unrelated.

I have alot of friends who work with Youth Suicide Awareness programs. They recently had a memorial gig because their organiser killed himself.

We all know the world's a bitch, but it dosen't have to get ironic on us.

Presently (under Australian law) if you get overcharged electronically (by barcode scanners) you get the product free. Just to make sure the shops don't fleece millions from a dollar here a dollar there.


But if there's no checkout person, who do you complain to?

Instead you can call a line and wait for 15 minutes until someone comes on.

Or you can fill out form AB23Z9 and wait.

And it'll make it just that more difficult.

So the companies, without breaking the law, won't feel compelled to fix the error, and may continue to fleece all that money.

added together with attempted suicides, and compared with the same combination in other countries, it's not abnormal.

So it proves that, despite reputations, we're good at achieving what we set out to do.

All I got was several messages saying a .dll file couldn't be found.

But hey, it's more than SCRAMM.

it's not about this post per se.

They just don't like you in general.

it's like a satire of Yahtzee, with all his good points removed.

We didn't go through half a century of linguistic imperialism for nothing.

I think what was missing above all was Rob Grant.

Especially when they each wrote seperate sequels to Better Than Life, with Grant's "Backwards" and Naylor's "Last Human".

The former being far better than the original, especially since Naylor had no ability for subtlety or for bringing out the dark tone that characterised the whole concept for the first few series of the show.

So really, that article tells us that Moore does what every piece of popular media does. He's a populist, so of course he does all those things, just like every paper and News Channel does to beat the drum of the other side.

At least he dosen't pretend to be non biased. If he was to stick to strict academic writing, no-one would see it except converted intellectuals and pseudos, and Moore's seeking to make change in the greater pool of public opinion which dosen't access that. If he didn't provide the populist alternative, they'd just get what Fox News tells them.


But the growing number of hatchet jobs on him shows that he is having success. And they can't bludgeon him with the usual stereotype of the latté drinking middle class liberal.

American social activist, won an oscar for Bowling For Columbine which became the largest grossing documentary ever in many countries. Wrote Stupid White Men which sold out on the first day, and sold out over 5 reprints in the first week, despite concerted efforts by the publisher to bury the book, and many many other things.

His immense popularity shows that Americans aren't as apathetic as we think they are.

I tricked it with shoelace and postcard (I mean, tricked honestly). It claimed a shoelace is heavy....

and locks are rarely found in bathrooms apparently...

I talked to Chrille about that, he regrets having used CJ's account, but they'll make it up at Mittens, provided they don't block the visa again.

Hey, she said she wanted it, the duplicitous bitch.

Isn't it fun when the new assitant forgets to remove the tags since it's tech and small (unlike those big fat white discs) so you set off the alarm in every other shop you go to that month.

I got a thing for being searched by big fat security men.
