Is that because you like it or don't know what it is?

I needed to open some files, so downloaded a trail version. Not only does it look like Windows, it didn't open the files. So I had to find an old version and download that, and it still didn't help much.

So I gave up and it looks like we'll be drawing by hand off the printouts. Which is annoying.

Air fares to OZ to follow the Nix, the cheapest so far is to Sydney - $538 return if you want to sleep at the airport after the game or go without sleep and party up all night till the next morning when you fly back here.

Haha, that reminds me of Jeremy Clarkson's rant about this. Bascially he argues completely the other way, saying why don't people have the time to listen to a 10 or 15 minute piece of music these days as opposed to a 3 minute wham bham load of crap.

I have no problem with long songs as long as there is a story being told.
 
I can't stand 10 minute songs that basically say the same thing for 10 minutes because they get boring fast. I want your sex by George Micheal is a great example of this, songs goes on forever and doesn't hace any variation.

Referees who send your keeper off in the first minute.

Bus companies who lock out their drivers and then think by giving some (not their USUAL) customers a free ride to a sports event makes up for their ineptitude.

Thank you! That guy is about as funny as a fart in an elevator. His stupid songs etc. I know Deaker isn't quite all there but why does he persist with that clown?? And yes, he was on for the whole show.

Or going on a repeated course hoping to leave at 3pm because we all know what it is about yet some dickhead has to keep asking questions even though they know the answers. WTF is that all about?
