I decided to make Shrewsberry biscuits this afternoon. They're delicious, but it made me remember why I never make biscuits that require rolling of dough and stamping of shapes - 20 mins alone spent stamping the shapes and prob a further 10 mins applying the jam and sandwiching the bastards together. All that for 23 fucking biscuits.

So who else works in Auckland CBD?
.....surely not just me?

Just wondering, maybe we can have some after work beers (or cokes for me hehe). Anyone got any great hidden gems for lunch? There's a place near the skytower on Victoria Street called Fuga, new Japanese restaurant. A lunch meal is around $19 - great presentation and consistent tasty food!

[Reformed_Quint]

people actually watch that ellen show? jesus.

[CCS]

'pparently Ellen is a big ratings winner in the States. I'm more suprised that Joel McHale gets $2m for the The Soup! Mostly because I didn't realise the show popular enough to pay the guy that sort of money.


Oh, and midget freak from Jersey Shore gets $30k an ep? What a joke. She should get $10. She loves the attention and she'd do it for free.

[Warrick]

yeah, the idea that that fat black midget on JS gets $30k/episode is ludicrous. no wonder she ends up getting arrested etc, she's being paid to act like a fuckwit. she was pretty bad in the first season when it was all for shits and giggles, now they're paying her? typical for her to disclose that payment to others for the media to report on, she has no integrity. the rest of the cast are pretty normal imo. angelina is a bit psycho and The Situation is the meanest player. the rest seem absolutely normal.

can't wait for the next ep! gonna be some mean grenades

This is what the middle class turn into when they think they've made it.

Same here tbh. I love Joel but I can't watch The Soup.

I HATE PEOPLE. How that show even remains popular enough to warrant that kind of pay packet is beyond disgusting.

Don't you watch Cougar town?

Failing to see your point But it's not like Cougar Town is even close to being a top-rated show with mind-bogglingly high salaries to boot.

whoa. calm down there, dyke.

Charlie Sheen is the fucking man. That cunt oozes cool. Never seen that show before but it's rated on the extreme scale.

You're not one of those people who complains when 1 person wins a huge Lotto jackpot are you?

[Warrick]

Charlie Sheen gets 12-18mil/yr. Oprah gets 20-30 times that.

chiquelet has a problem with Sheen and OprahFAKEWinfrey is a saint, rofl.

[SickBo@Work]

Well she is a fan of Sea Patrol.

Seriously now? I'm not against large per episode salaries for smart television. If Tina Fey or Alec Baldwin were getting that for 30 Rock I'd be over the moon. 2 and a Half Men is not good television, and therein lies my beef. Good taste is dead, but you apparently watch or have watched Jersey Shore so why am I surprised.

I despise Oprah actually. I thought the devil icon I used might have given away my fake indignation but apparently it was lost on you

I watch it for the ass, pure and simple.

You know I did my post and then that celeb pay stat was posted under mine and I was like, great... now I bet no one will reply to my post.

[Warrick]

I worked on Federal Street for a few years, then Shortland St for a year. Could've been possible, broski~ No more working in the city for me though! Thank god!

[Pepsi]

There are bound to be at least a few NZGers who work in town. Years ago a few of us used to meet for the very occassional lunch at the scabby asian food hall near downtown.. I have no idea if that still even exists?

[mpx]

Yeah it does, apparently holds "best food hall" - it's fucking disgusting, wouldn't eat there if I was paid to.

Last time I saw 2 1/2 Men it featured Jenny McCarthy asking Charlie to bone her in the ass. As far as I'm concerned, that's worth it.

[xor]

Food alley!

I work in Newmarket though
