There are like three Big Ws here and I still don't expect to see anything beyond Wave 1 of Power of the Primes for another six months. The libraries books are literally falling apart.
    Don't hold back.

    I would rather be in Melbourne. I would rathe be in Bendigo. I can handle the cold. Negative temperatures? Please. That's nothing. Its easier to get warm than cool down.
    Looks like we got some sort of city folk here missing their fancy trains, trams and soy lattes BTT, Townsville and Swan Hill smashed in one paragraph. Should we tune up the band or let it slide.

    Also, who the F goes to a library?
    I still function.....................while killing threads. ;-)

    yea, most libraries do this weekly thing called rhyme time, for parents and kids. It's pretty good and interactive. very challenging if you are trying to handle twins though. My wife hasn't taken the kids in a while now, it's just too hard.

    Considering my favourite places in Australia are Ballarat and The Grampians and I don't drink coffee... good to see those Country assumptions are as with the times as ever. :P (Also, come on, don't be that guy that defends Swan Hill. Only people who will never ever leave Swan Hill defend Swan Hill, and I'd hate to think there was another Transformers fan there that I ignored for a year--I made one friend in Target because I wouldn't let him badmouth the Switch without playing it. ) I will admit. I like the Infamous Geek, and I went to Cactus Jack the other night.

    Library memberships have actually been on the rise for years, I was getting ready to start my library studies course to become a librarian which I can't do up here, and you can get everything from comics to rare books to video games and DVDs from the library, to great places to study, to even filling in some time before a train., it's a great way to try things out before you buy. And it's a great way for poor people to stay literate. You may have been joking about the library, but, seriously, don't. Libraries are invaluable. When we lose them it's the start of the apocalypse.

    I was actually going to say, aside from the absence of cold weather and the luxury of having 3 Big Ws (try one smallish KMart and a Target Country - Burnie does slightly better with a larger KMart and a tiny regular Target) that all sounds a lot like Devonport/NW Tassie.

    But I have to give it to Tasmania, the library system here is great. Everything Gouki said, except there's literally one train line in the entire state and it's not for passengers.
    Libraries are awesome.

    I was there yesterday for the footy. It was horrible & I'm not talkin' bout my team losing. Freezing cold, flash rain at times & the wind chill. Not good when standing in the open in a next-to-useless biodegradable poncho!

    It's winter. It is not like that 365 days a year. Serves you right for liking sport. :P

    We can't all live the glamorous Bris Vegas life of getting stabbed for walking through parks at night. :P (My partner really wants to take me to Brisbane. He loves it, having grown up splitting time between there and Vic.)

    I had to Google Karl Pilkington, though. Not sure how much I trust someone who keeps. Inflicting Gervais on us haha
