Argh, They are a bunch of self-fish, antagonising, juvinile idiots.
Or at least thats the way most of them are being portrayed.
I'll admit theres a couple of nice people (Reggie, and other lady whose name i dont know) but still the magority of them are just awful people to watch.

I don't think they're awful people. They're pretty normal people to me. I can even relate to stuff that's happening in there. The only person I hated was Carlo, and I don't like Ben, Claire really annoyed me last night but the others don't bother me, and some I like. Of course they seem selfish, it's the nature of the beast of TV. They tend to focus on bitching or people talking about themselves, and not people getting to know each other or being supportive. You can't get a true full sense of them unless you've got live streaming and watch it all the time. For the rest of us, they DO become characters. Real characters (mostly) but not 3 dimensional people.

Instead of BB how about GG? I read some funny comments today..... such as how Howard had spoken about giving all Aussies a "fair go" and that's what happened; we made the GG go and it was fair. LOL
Then some of the suggestions for a new GG, such as Pauline Hanson because she has nothing to do now.

LOL Kurm, no Pauline Hanson! But I think Reggie might make a good G-G... :D

Has anyone kept up with the ABC issue? The government is worried it is too "anti-US".
Everyday I find another reason to move to New Zealand.

Are you serious? Too anti-US? Sheesh...
I don't know, I'm thinking Canada looks good too.... but Switzerland is still my first choice! LOL (You can take dogs to restaurants, that sold me...)

Are you trying to ruin my image of NZ? I'd heard the NZ government was very distrustful of the US government's motives, and that the voting system in New Zealand allowed minority voices to be better represented in Parliament.

Hey guys, another Aussie here. I live in the ACT!!
By the way, I was completely over BB after the first series finished. And I think the Gough Whitlam should be the next Governer General. Wouldn't he be cool?

Hello shadowlee! We'll be taking over the board soon... no more BB talk allowed! LOL

What State would it be in?
Or should we work out the point where everybody is the same distance from and go there?

yeh i think thats best we could work it out and then plan maybe 6 months ahead and we could save up and those who need to travel can.
I'm in melb but it seems i'm the only one.

I liked Melbourne when I was there.
I could probably get by with $100 for a return rail ticket (although that 10 hour journey SUX on the train) and I know where I can stay for $15 a night.
When I was in Melbourne though I found motorists weren't as helpful as Sydney motorists when hitch-hiking. I also found loitering down there is frowned upon, whereas up here I loiter everywhere.
