When my younger sister and I were growing up (in the family house that my mother and father built before we were born) there were a number of 'weird' occurrences in about the first 5 years that we lived there.

My thoughts exactly: gee, what a loss...

I can handle 'epic tits', but it was the talk of them as a 'set' that pissed me off the most.

Nice contribution to the discussion.

Hi there. 23 year old Australian woman, who has the the three shots (every six/twelve months, or however long it was) a few years ago when they were originally introduced here. At the time, the vaccinations were free (excellent!) so I had all three done whilst I still could.

I teach a class at university on public speaking - it's a semester long subject where we ask students to present on a variety of short topics each week, culminating in a longer presentation in the final week ('longer' here meaning 5 minutes, as opposed to 2-3. I'd like for it to be longer than this, but time…

Howl's Moving Castle - amazing! In fact, the entire series (there are two more books after that) is great, particularly the third book.

Dude. Update yourself on these issues before you go mouthing off and generalising about "the people in Australia". You don't speak for me, and you don't speak for everyone. You speak for you, and you have just proven how misinformed you are.

Feminine flesh. It gets them all.

Hey now - I watch Firefly and Dr Who *with* my boyfriend. That makes his options while I'm away... ah. Well, then.

And, of course, that has nothing to do with the married man as well, does it....

I thought she did allow a conscience vote, and that it was Abbott who didn't allow his party (the Liberals) a conscience vote on the bill?

Don't speak for all Australians, because you're wrong. And a lot more people would prefer her to Tony Abbott, for reasons that she raises in her speech (ie, he's a misogynist).

Julia Gillard has copped more than enough sexist, misogynistic crap in her time as Prime Minister. One radio shock-jock has spent the better part of a year calling for her to be put in a chaff bag and "thrown out to sea" (yes, calling for us to drown the PM on national radio is a legitimate past time here,…

Gweneth Paltrow starts *everything*. Including the weird baby-names trend (although that's slightly less life threatening and scary).

Bats and pigs, man. Fuck those bats and those pigs.

I'll quite happily do it for you, if you like :) - this waste of money absolutely infuriates me!

Wait, wait, wait. Am I the only person concerned about how she *fixed* that zip?!

YES. Absolutely! I loved these books - strong female protagonists, zombies, magical bells - what more could a tv series want?

Thank god - I'm not alone! I have no logical explanation for why I actually do this - I just really dislike waking up at an exact time, and would prefer a slightly odd version of it. Are you similar?
