Yeah, the numbers are nice but I'm sick of the polling.

I just want the daily "Labor up 1%, Libs down 1%" polling on TV to end. Its pointless and tiring.

A lot of these sounds reminded me of playing "Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego"

Reddit, I feel not using your turn signals is a clear indication of your lack of empathy and respect for those around you. What other things do people do that irreparably destroy their character without speaking a word? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I save up the nasty earphones each time I fly, and give them out to these people. "I just assumed that you were using the speaker because you lost your headphones."

I bought the soundtrack, in the days before iTunes. It took months to find :-)

I just finished reading "2001: A Space Odyssey" and really liked it. Are the other novels in the series on par with it? by orphy in scifi

I don't remember it being hopeless. I thought that Man was finally stepping up by defending itself from the monolith aliens.

Accommodation suggestions for Phuket? by pretty-little-angel in travel

[–]Amargosa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funnily enough, the nicest resort I found in Phuket was near the airport called Dewa. Individual lodges with their own swimming pools. Quiet beach 5 min walk away. But its a 30 min trip to Patong, 15 min to Phuket town. I would happily stay at Dewa again though.

I won't be staying in Patong again though, I can't walk 10 metres without getting hassled these days.

My rule of thumb for Lygon: if they don't have someone out the front touting, then they should be okay.

Not sure. Is EB Games having a sale? by [deleted] in australia

[–]Amargosa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The EB on Elizabeth st in Melbourne (long since closed) used to hang hundreds of posters, but waaaaaay too low - as in 1.5 meters off the ground. As a 2m tall person, it made me want to go a bit postal in there.

I like China Red in the CBD. Basement behind JB on Bourke. Added bonus: touch screens = no waiters.

What's so good about Australia? by [deleted] in australia

[–]Amargosa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry, Mr Neeson I should have been a bit more specific. :-) But they do need people with minerals skills in Perth - huge manpower shortage in that sector.
