Well there you go. Big W's and Kmart's can live together under the one roof :p

I didn't really have the budget, but still...they'd look so cool next to Bludgeon.

Don't know how true that is, but its the only thing I got:(

Obviously some songs are harder. What songs are you looking to play?
And acoustic is harder than electric (IMO).
Finally get to go shopping.... And the car parks are murder! Got stuck in the Dandenong Plaza carpark for like half an hour (might have been just 20 mins but felt longer) and more than half that time was just trying to get OUT once I gave up on shopping there!!
Driving to shopping at this time of year is MADNESS. It's funny watching people inside, most of them all look stressed and exhausted trying to buy gifts for their family and friends...Quote:

Back to work next day.
It feels like it takes almost a month to prepare for a single day, which culminates into 1 hour of feasting...
Then snoozing/video gaming/more booze...:p
Funny old world isn't it?
'Tis true dude, Westfield Warrawong has had both stores for what seems like forever - literally around the corner from each other and they both have to share adjacent docks! :pQuote:

I hear you dude, the Original movie is one of my all-time favourites, that and I think James Spader is an acting Genious ;):p, but the SG1 series started getting a little.. off? after it's 3rd season for me. SGU I really dug as it was a completely different approach yet still directly tied to the previous series. :(Quote:

Oh man, I and my family used to watch that religiously as a kid - the concept was truly original and ahead of it's time, now everything adopts the Multiverse theory. :rolleyes:Quote:

@#%^$%^&#%&
Stupid fishpond.com.au emailed me last night saying that the Lego Prince of Persia: Battle of Alamut set i ordered 3 weeks ago on 30/11 is out of stock!
First time buying from them and this is the lousy service they give! They still didn't issue a prompt PayPal refund and so I lodge a dispute instead. :mad: :mad: :mad: Was hoping it would arrive before Xmas as a pressie for myself! Hmmph!
I always knew there was something fishy about that site...
^haha
Damn BBTS! Payed for express shipping (usually 5-8 days) for my Marvel CoLoud headphones, and its now the 11th day......
Really needed 'em before the 27th :(
F@#$ing TRU Wollongong! :mad:
I've never seen such a more useless store!, still predominantly stocking ROTF items with a few HFTD items!
They're always months behind and always overpriced. :mad:
Uncle Petes? they're slightly up to date - 8 Leader Class Animated Magni figures... $80 each!?! and they're still trying to sell Universe 1.0 Legends figures at $7.95! :mad:
Where 'o' where are the RTS G1 Legends Class figures!
(Rant Over) :p
they are in every store over here, patients:pQuote:

im not a fan of them either. and just so you know, lodging a paypal dispute against anything but ebay is pointless. paypal will tell you they cant do anything about it but still take your money.Quote:

Have to take the engine out of my XW i really really really dont want to do this everything had been running so smoothly with life in generall and now this, more time and more money gone :(
I'm pretty much done with buying things for other people, either group orders or store exclusives or whatever. Too many headaches, too much pressure and no rewards. I can probably find other ways to try and make people like me.
I know what you mean. It's no too bad to do it on the rare occasion, and for a handful of people (and it feels good to help out fellow collectors), but doing it too often for heaps of people just ends up costing you too much time and money (emphasis on the time factor, as it can take hours coordinating with people for details & payment, and just packing and posting a half a dozen items). For me, the next BotCon will just be buying what I have time for at the convention, and auctioning them off on the board when I get back.
Don't worry, we still like you. :)
Make a OTCA rap and people will like you? :D Yeah same with Griff I'm still happy you sold me RR Frenzy!Quote:

I really miss the days when libraries were 'Quiet zones', instead of noisy-kids-bogans-and-screaming-babies zones.
I'm house sitting, which is kind of fun, but I have no Internet connection. Sure I can use my phone but that's a limited experience. I'm not doing it long enough to justify getting a usb modem or anything. Just having withdrawal symptoms! :o
I had the same problem earlier in the year, my girl and I both ended up using my phone for our internet needs and after 2 weeks house sitting I had a $270 phone bill. should of brought usb modem:oQuote:

I thought it sounded fishy. A quick search of the email address came across many pages of fraud warning forums and Consumer watchdog stuff. So if you get a message with it, don't contact them.
Apparently this kind of scam has been going on for months under different guises. I refer you to consumerwatchdogbw.blogspot
F***** scammers, how did they get a hold of my mobile phone number? They probably send it out to every number to see who responds.
Or maybe you put your phone number down on some form for some company that sneakily states in their TOS they give out your details to anyone. I hate scammers too, I remember there was this one where these Indian people would call you and start telling you you had a virus on your computer and you HAD to go to their website and buy their product (probably full of viruses). They didn't even know whether I had a computer or not and they just kept rushing to tell me to go to their website and they were outright rude. I knew it was a scam and I told them I was a computer tech that knew how to get rid of viruses, they were still adamant so I told them to F off and hope they die with retroperistalsis.Quote:
