What a game. The Aussies got the result they deserved. They have played well enough in all three games to be in the next round. Kalac felt so bad after the game that he was suicidal. Apparently he tried to dive in front of a bus but it just glanced off him and continued down the road.

My wife, who is a blonde, has her name on the Turbo so she can find it in the car park. The plates on the other car are pretty obvious. We have traded this on a Alfa 156 with old fasioned black and white personalised plates with 2 letters and 3 numbers.

I test drove one within the first few weeks they were out, looking to replace an Alfa 147. I loved it, and the DSG gearbox has all of the advantages of both a manual and an auto but is smoother and faster than either. At that time they were saying 6-8 months delivery but you just knew it would blow out beyond that. There have been reports that people that ordered then have had a 9 months plus wait. Plus you knew that there were no deals to be done. They can sell more than they can make. I ended up trading the 147 on a 156.

Great photos guys. Heres one taken at a work function I was at a couple of weeks ago. Not a sunset, but a spectacular spot to be having a few drinks none the less.

Approximate figures only assuming now penalties, additional fees etc 24 months - $36,018 30 months - $32,621 36 months - $26,065 42 months - $25,447 Each month just add the interest on the balance and then subtract the payment to come up with a new balance. Repeat for 48 months. It is a very simplified version of the calculation but it is close enough to give you an idea.

Could be the rim is slightly out of round. It has happened to my BA1 17s.

Here is the only conversion tool you will probably ever need. Converts everything, nicely categorised. Lumpy's calculation is spot on. Conversion_Program.zip

I always have a couple of single malt whiskeys on hand which I drink occasionally. The fridge always has a couple of decent types of beer in it, which I also drink occassionally. However I drink wine with dinner most nights. I try to have a couple of alcohol free nights each week but it is hard when you have this room just off our kitchen.

I have a HID headlight for my mountain bike. The brilliant, white light these things put out has to be seen to be believed. They would be annoying for on coming traffic if they weren't aimed correctly though.

Latest from News.com.au Shooting-death murder link I heard on the news this morning that the Officer was a fire arms instructor. He was obviously an experienced officer and it looked like there was more to the story. This murder link could explain the irrational behaviour. I thought there was a policy of not having police out on patrol alone.

Both Toll (TOL) and Patricks (PRK) had a big drop in price last Wednesday when the ACCC announced they would not approve the proposed take-over. Patricks immediately dropped from $7.29 to $6.50 and then closed at $6.75 and has since climbed back towards $7. This was a big deal in the market. 21 million Patrick shares were traded. The previous day only 1.6 million.

Reducing Weight A topic on this forum in May-June 2004 It is still funny. Would love to see Top Gear do something like this.

This is from the 1994 surfing movie The Endless Summer 2. You can hear Bruce Brown the narrator, director, producer talking at the beginning. It was an accident and not a stunt though.

I nearly ran over this snake a few months ago when I was out on the mountain bike at night.

Happy Christmas (or whatever) to everyone.

That was a good storm. Love the pics ani. I was out mountain bike riding in the Blue Mountains National Park as it was approaching and it was spectacular. I just made it home about 5 minutes before it hit.

Slow Jam by New Order From the album Get Ready

He came in for the balaclava with about 40 laps to go. The next scheduled stop was with about 30 laps to go and this would have got them through to the end of the race. So he needed the splash to make it to the end.

OK - Here's a classic in every sense of the word I woke up this mornin', feelin' round for my shoes Know by that I got these old walkin' blues, well Eric Clapton - Walkin Blues from Unplugged 1992 . . . . . Muddy Waters - Walkin Blues circa 1950 . . . . . . Originally by the blues legend Robert Johnson in 1936. The guy who, legend has it, sold his soul to the devil down at the crossroads so he could play the guitar. (Plus pretty much every other blues artist in history has covered this song)

Eric Burden - Bareback Ride

I noticed that you have Word opened. Do you have a Word template or macro that looks up your address book (for creating faxes or letters etc) ?

It would be criminal to have a discussion on all time great song lyrics and not have a quote from this bloke: Look out kid Don't matter what you did Walk on your tip toes Don't try "No Doz" Better stay away from those That carry around a fire hose Keep a clean nose Watch the plain clothes You don't need a weather man To know which way the wind blows
