I highly recommend "The Orphanage" if you guys want to see a scary movie.
It's a Spanish language film that has a good story and some truly freaky scenes in it.

Thanks for the recommendation Hursty... I just might check it out

"Rooney's agent has intimated he won't sign a contract and wants away."

"the player says he's adamant he wants to leave"

Gutted. I feel sick and numb at the same time.

Wayen Rooney. He plays(ed) for Manchester United, a club which spends more money in a year than the entire NRL and AFL combined. Some people see him as a 'bad boy', but a damn good footballer. T'is a shame that he's leaving Man U.

It's surreal - United's best player last season, the player they've built the side around and given the platform to be truly world class, and one that said as recently as March that he wanted a life contract at United, now wants to leave.

And has wanted to leave since before this season started - which predates the scandal in his private life breaking, and which predates (but explains) the poor form he's found himself in this season. I love Manchester United, I can't understand how someone would go from being fully commited to the club he's been at for 6 years in March, to wanting out in August, to forcing the managers hand by publically contradicting him in October.

Most United fans expected Ronaldo to leave when he did in 2009, but our great hope at the time, affirmed by the player, was that Rooney would be here for years and was just as good. Not so, apparently. To add insult to injury any money received will probably disappear into trying to pay off the owners 600 million debt, as opposed to buying a replacement.

Lost game with 10 pt margin to an undefeated team. They're all physical and quick with a big center who knows how to play down low.

1/3 from 3pt land. I got to improve this percentage but I need more shots.

I don't get this strategy of trying to get fouls on the inside when you can't make free throws hahaha

My Netgear modem (yes I know it's craptacular) died last week (connection dropouts every 10 minutes). Got it replaced with another one which keeps dropping out of connection too ( but less frequently) on the first day of working. Thought it was a Bigpond error, so called them - they told me to call Netgar because nothing was wrong with their lines - I call netgear for help, they tell me to go to Bigpond.... ...FML about an hour of wasted phone time with no help on either end but my conclusions is that it's just netgear's crappy modem, judging by other 'colourful' experiences posted on the interwebs.

Thank heck I'm buying a 2wire modem from Telstra next week (same brand as my very 1st modem, I can trust it works but downside it dies after about 4 years of use). Just got to hold onto this piece of crap modem until next year where I can exchange it for a gift card to spend on something else useful...

Also a tip for any net users out there, don't buy your web hardware from DSE, I made a huge mistake doing that. I asked the people working there if the modems were good and they didn't know what they were doing apart from easily taking my $$$. That's also another thing to rant on while I'm here, what DSE is becoming - I went to my local one recently and asked for a Funway Electronics starter kit - the girl there had NO IDEA what I was talking about - Dick Smith Electronics eh? More like Dick Smith Cashsuckers...

I had a Netgear that kept dropping out every 45 minutes or so and managed to prolong its like by about a month by putting it in the freezer for about 10 minutes whenever it died.
