A case of where a build up of fame and fortune leads to an over inflated sense of self importance and ego? I preferred the very early stuff when he did 15 min shows on BBC World.

Oh I don't disagree with this, just with the way BBC has handled it.

Even IF Immunisations caused autism (which they don't, it develops as the brain develops in the womb), wouldn't you take the risk of autism over the risk of pain and death for your child?

Going home from work yesterday and seeing a hand mark on the turned off TV screen. Not a problem, can clean it. But then discovering an 8" scratch line which magically appeared there from no where. The only good news is that when turned on it does not affect the picture for some weird reason, but it is definately a scratch.

PS: It is a 55" Samsung LED TV with an awesome quality picture - especially when not marked/scratched.

Talking to New Zealanders who live in Aussie about the weather...

Me: It's muggy here today. 20 degrees, hardly any wind and pouring with rain

Them: 20 degrees? Try 30 degrees and thunderstorms. It's insane here.

Me: Then don't live there you twunt.

Pretty ridiculous comment to make.  Temperatures in Australia can vary 25 degrees depending on where one lives. There are some places here where the weather is even worse than Auckland. Hundreds of thousands of kiwis live all over the country and moved for different reasons.

Just lots more to see and do.

Muppets that work in electronic goods retail when I'm trying to convince myself I only need a sub $1k Windows LapBox even though I want a $1.5k MBA. Most of them couldn't sell free hookers if their lives depended on it. No Sharking Idea.

Haha yeah I just laugh, they don' seem to understand that the advantage of an in store staff is the upsell, you can convince people they need more. Online retailers don't have that chance, but sooo many of their staff don't know how to do it in the easiest of cases :P

If you can get it prescribed, try pure Oxygen. My mother uses it to relieve even worse cluster headaches...works a treat on migraines too.

cheers will talk to my gp about it next time i see him, been having these for over 20 years since a friend forgot to turn at a T intersection just about killing me in the process, it has taken many years to come right and the migraines are the only problem i still get so i guess in a way i am lucky some people are way worse off than me from car crashes.

Imagine how much it would have been worth if you lot had actually won the World Cup??? :-p

In all seriousness though, thats pretty shark and I hope the person who has it stops being a cod and gives it back!

Ha bants! Yeah I think whoever took it knows the significance of that particular bat because there was/is a lot of other memorabilia around including other expensive cricket bats/gear/shirts but they chose that one. That's what really fudges me off. And the fact few people have access to that area. So I'm hoping the guilt gets them and it shows up but the chances are slim. Fudgein hate thieves!!

I also don't collect a great deal of memorabilia, once in a while I'll be given something very cool worth keeping and this bat was as good as anything I have.

Thats pretty fudgeed. Dare I ask but considering they picked 'that bat' do you think inside job as most likely someone would have known the significance of it?

I hate to think so but it's a possibility. The only people with access to the shed when we aren't there are security and cleaners but they wouldn't know the difference between that bat and the others so it's a random coincidence if it was them

I note this morning on the way home from work those cnuts from the oil companies have whacked petrol up another 5 cents overnight, thats to go with the other rises during the week when it started off at $1.92 a litre, now its $1.99 a litre. I dont see them advertising this like they crow when they drop it a generous 2 cents a litre. Friggen wankers all of them.

Not so sure of this is a 'piss you off' but new receptionist I got in has been playing the Kim Dot Com album. Holy Shark what a fudgeing disaster that is.

deciding to drop out of my football team this year as i have a few niggles (knee and back) and a slight health problem.

at 48 i am also having a bit of trouble keeping up with the youngsters that play in our grade, as wanganui is not big enough to have a masters grade we have to play against much younger teams and players. there are a couple of other teams full of oldies just not enough.

Every sodding meeting at work going over time by an average of half an hour. Almost have to block out the next half hour to an hour on your calendar as you know you most likely won't be available. Almost have to block out time as unavailable so you can get some work done too! Then there's "have you got 5 minutes?" just as you're opening up your lunch also turning into 45 minutes.

Well be a man and tell people to stop organizing fr8ing meetings? 

You realize that people like you are why we are fudgeed as a planet?

Idiots who don't actually have proper jobs but moan about other people who have even more pointless jobs making meetings.

Managers of this, Supervisors of that, boring sharkty jobs that don't mean anything. 

ffs. Go and do something worthwhile ffs.

I love "just opening up your lunch" - god almighty look at yourself.
