Massive Attack - Unfinished Sympathy

I love the Siouxsie and the Banshees version of Passenger.

My first music purchase has become a family legend, although I don't have to take the blame for it. At about five, I was conned by my older brother into going in with him on an album purchase. I contributed $3, he paid $6. We bought 'Eric Robertson Plays Piano's Greatest Hits'.

Seeing a preview for this with my brother, he thought it was Jodie Foster, I thought Edward Furlong. Glad to know I'm not the only one.

It should be lower-case 'skittles and beers' - skittles being a British pub game.

When I was little, I thought that coin laundries where places were you could get your coins cleaned.

This is one of those times when I really should have scrolled down before commenting.

I was only mildly interested until I saw Enver Gjokai is in this!

I had a weirdo sitting near me on the tram recently, muttering under his breath. In-between the racism - Midnight Oil lyrics. "Why don't you learn to speak English? US forces give the nod. Grumble grumble grumble."

Boo!

The new Danger 5 episode is streaming on SBS's website - not sure if the site is geo-blocked or not, but give it a go: http://www.sbs.com.au/ondem…

Well that's a boring explanation! (but thanks).

Can anyone inform this non-America of what a 'bowl' is? I mean, I get that it is a football game, but what makes it a bowl and not just a game?

You gave me a moment of hope that there was a new Person of Interest on tonight, and then my dreams were all dashed. Damn you.

There's an annual festival in Melbourne called Moomba - it's supposed to be an Aboriginal word meaning 'Let's all get together and have fun', but it (probably) actually means something like 'up your bum': http://en.wikipedia.org/wik…

On the opposite end of the scale, this reminds me of the Darwin Ice Hockey Club, who, despite having no ice, have declared themselves world champions by default, since none of the teams they have challenged have turned up to play them: http://www.ntnews.com.au/ne…

It's not a traditional Carlos Sultana then, without raisins it's called a Rob Thomas.

Danger 5 is back this Sunday (aussie time), hooray! I'm going to celebrate with a perfect Carlos Sultana: 1 part dark rum, 1 scoop vanilla ice-cream, fill with creamy soda, finish with raisins.

Looks identical to my former housemate's cat, and now I'm missing the silly little thing. Very cute cat in person, but somehow completely unphotogenic. Once got upset about strangers in the house and shat in my bed. Not sure why I miss it…

You've hit the nail on the head about Laurel, thank you for putting this into words for me, 'cause it's been bugging me but I couldn't work out what was wrong.
