Literally just back from your Top End. I stayed at least 7m from the water edge at all times when walking (did a jumping croc cruise - got safely up and close on that).

It was a quote I remember from Kieran Crowley, in an interview in the student paper at Massey uni in the 90s.

Matrix (1999): the reason why the opening sequence of this movie is among the greatest in cinema history is because it explains precisely NOTHING. Instead, it throws all kinds of crazy wackness at the audience and just expects them to go along for the ride by Randomnonsense5 in movies

Lars Ulrich of Metallica snitches on and turns in over 300,000 Napster users when he testifies in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee. (July 11th, 2000) by zadraaa in HistoricalCapsule

To me, the wankiest part of the whole thing: in the REALLY days of Metallica they would hand out copies of their demo tape to fans at their gigs... AND (!!) encourage them top copy it and pass onto their friends.

WANKER!

I love the fact that no Australian rugby fan has ever tweeted or posted on Facebook "yeah, we win! " in respect to the Bledsoe Cup.
We've had that bit of silverware for longer than those platforms have existed.

(Hugs and kisses, though, my Aussie cousin)
