You preferred to be paid a percentage of your income rather than a fraction?

WOMG: When IMPOARTANT equipment that hasn't been serviced for years finally gets serviced and, more importantly, I feel vindicated in moaning about it because my concerns have been found to be correct. Because... well... y'know, THAT SHIT HASN'T BEEN SERVICED FOR YEARS!

Anyway, stuff is happening, gears are turning and they're nicely lubed.

More for somewhere close by for getting games than anything else. If I'm going to buy music I'd still rather hike over to RG.

So close by it may even tempt sarge to become a gamer again!

I've been down for a quick look - nice store, decently laid out and the DVD's/BR's are laid out nicely. It was surprising that there wasn't much in the way of opening specials, although I did get the new Blade Runner for $12.98. Iron Man on Blu Ray was $25.

the crown lawyer(s) will have access to your criminal/police record, but the defence lawyer(s) will not - sometimes that will be the reason for a crown challenge....

try not to feel too bad......

Exercising after a week break

When you do it regularly it can get boring. Take a week off and get back into it full noise and it's awesome.

I read a whole book in the downtime between jury selections. It can get deathly dull.

Wikipedia oils my gears. I think it's great that no matter what you're reading about, you're only a few clicks away from articles like

Quote:

Later that year, Anal Cunt decided on another European tour. Despite the fact that Tim Morse pulled out at the last minute, the tour still went ahead, with the band deciding to find a drummer while they were touring. The two drummers who auditioned were not fast enough for the band, so Anal Cunt decided to have them both playing the same drum kit at the same time for the beginning of the tour, before resorting to just using the faster of the two. This tour firmly left Anal Cunt’s violent footprint on Europe, with most of the shows consisting of Putnam and Ordonez going into the crowd, punching people and destroying equipment, because of not only drunkenness but also the fact that the drummer did not know their songs very well.

Sky news. They almost always have the hottest presenters, all around the world (Sky UK, AUS, Italy, but NOT NZ). I want my doom and gloom delivered with a pretty face, damn it.

If your factual comment is well sourced, put in on the talk page and complain about potential corporate vandalism.

Speaking of which, Wikipedia talk pages OMG, I love that you can get into the guts of an article and see how it came out the way it did and the arguments behind it. Although it can be a bit frustrating on controversial topics when they bend over backwards to make an article "neutral" when the reality just isn't neutral at all. Fucking homeopaths.

Being on the $100 bill is quite a celebration

Its probably because physics is boring to the masses. Or maybe because he liked soccer as opposed rugby.

Another great thing he did was supervise Neils Bohr's Phd; Bohr went on to develop some of the fundamental ideas about quantum physics.
