Sorry Nat! You must be!
Kurm, yep, I knew about it (come on, I'm a fanatic, of course I knew!) It's funny how much they cut out of the whole story though... sheesh I hate Carlo...

Ha ha, I am not a fan of Home and Away, no way, not me, nope. It's my wife that watches it at 7pm weeknights on Channel 7, I don't even notice it's on.

Shewolf, Kurm fill me in!!!! I saw like the last 5 mins (was waiting for Raymond) and didn't know what happened. They said they wont show it in QLD either cuz of the different laws or sumfin. So her 17yo sis is in jail for murder? Murdering who? I want details ppl!!! Hehehe and I don't even watch it.
Oh I'm in Brisvegas btw.

That's all I know, Euphoria. They made out that it was going to be something really big..... the housemates were all shocked. I checked online and there it was.... kind of ho-hum.
So, who thinks Johnny's gonna spring an election on us? He's having some luck these past few years thanks to world events and his lying to us, so we may have to suffer the Liberals even longer..... not that the alternative is much better.

I think it'll be in the next couple of months (the election). I HATE John Howard!!! But there really isn't an opposition. I mean Simon Crean is just awful. Like my mum says, better the devil you know...

No way I'm voting for Howard... I'll never vote liberal. I'm going green dammit... I used to vote labor but I don't like some of their dog laws so they can screw themselves! LOL
The housemates really overreacted, it's not like Belinda committed the murder but they were acting like that! It's serious because the sister was a juvenile at the time and so cannot be named, but now she has been...
Euphoria, it was a guy in Toowoomba, they murdered him because they thought he was gay, it was her and two blokes in their twenties. It was on Xmas eve one year... the guy's mother and brother drove past a while later and noticed his car on the side of the road and pulled over to investigate, and were shot by the killers (but not killed).

In our recent State election the Greens were pushing the anti-war thing..... the problem I had with that is that war-mongering is for the Federal government. And the Carr government is against the war (which made the anti-war people throwing paint bombs at his car come across as real drongos).
All that's left for me to do is try to make my vote help keep people out of power.... and there are a LOT who should be kept out.

I wonder how much of it was put on.
And yeah, Carlo..... I'm hoping he becomes the first Big Brother death (I'd tune in then for sure).

I wouldn't be surprised hearing of that happening in the US, but it happening here is disturbing.
She (the killer sister) should be named so people know to be wary.

You have to..... it's called an absentee vote or something.
And yes, out with Johnny Coward, Dubya's Deputy Sheriff.

What do you think of the G-G? He "stepped down", yet is getting $6,000 a week of tax payers money, and still living in Yarralumba.
And Hollingworth and Howard are going on about "being denied justice" and "presumption of innocence"...... yeah right! Only for the Big Cheeses.
To quote Gough Whitlam, "We may well say God save the Queen, because nothing will save the Governor General".
Let us hope nothing will.

the whole GG thing has me quite cynical... I mean why wait until now to bring all this up? I question the motives of people who sit and wait until someone gets a position like this and then scream for justice... why couldn't they have done that when he was only archbishop? It just seems a little suss...
The BB HMs reactions were probably designed to make Belinda look bad... I agree about the Carlo death. :) Good TV.
I figure by voting green I'm not contributing to either of the major parties and my conscience is fairly clean.

I was doing my GST Business Activity Statements just now.... I only have obligations once every year, but still have to do all the reporting.
Thankfully the ATO has the "nil activity" facility (which isn't that straight forward to find on their automated phone system). I also have to punch in my ABN for EVERY statement, and I can only do 3 at a time.
I would use the software the ATO provides, but that connects to their servers and sends information without telling you, and one release included a virus.
I recall when GST came in...... I was working for a small computer repair shop; suddenly their business dropped (so I went from full-time to very casual), and the business of many of their clients dropped.
And this was the tax system that that lying Dubya-loving "never ever a GST/children overboard/no troops committed to Iraq" sack of **** Johnny ****ing Howard brought in..... I hope his stay with the President (of the United States of Arrogance, which Johnny so often fails to mention, as though Dubya were in some way OUR President) was worth it. Too bad Dubya didn't offer him a pretzel.
Hello people. I know I'm joining this thread late (I only just found it) but hello from me in sunny (ok well its dark outside but you know what i mean) Brisbane. Nice to meet you all :)

Actually I read a book by an english comic (when I get home I'll check out the title and author) about BB and one of the house members gets murdered while in the house. It's like a whodunnit thingy, but more clever.
And as for Johnny Coward.. :moonpie: that's all I'd have to say for him!
Maybe some from veggie boards should be prime minister!
yay asiel, that makes 3 brisbanites
With Eyes Wide Open... are you in Brisbane or somewhere else in QLD?
