It's 11 pm here. Where are you based Mr. Snow.

4pm here (Brisbane Aust).

DW: How's where you are?

Interesting sight yesterday, the Army's Blackhawks here doing exercises in the CBD for the upcoming CHOGM meeting being held here later this year, The army was flying between buildings doing extractions etc.
They go faster than I would have thought.

Anything interesting happen where you are?

I'm in Canada (West Coast). Nothing too exciting here. No military manoeuvres, pretty quiet all round.......

@DW: I've heard Canada is very much like Aust? Any truth to the rumor (IYO).

Well I don't really know very much about Australia so that's a bit difficult to answer. I guess that the two countries have somewhat similar histories and forms of government. Canada also tends to be a fairly quiet sort of place....
Somebody from NZ once told me that Canada was like NZ and that the U.S was like Australia.........Again, it's quite difficult for me to comment. I've spent a lot of time in Europe, I've recently visited Central America, and I've spent a year in Japan with a brief visit to Hong Kong. But I've never made it over to your end of the Pacific, still on my list of places to go.

So what as actually happened is that you have been let go by your boss and you are officially terminated on August the 1st.

your ego will not let you beleive the truth.

*SOB* well yes -

(Well not really)

I just moved paper from one stack to another stack and type some of it into the computer, and answered angry calls from people

The firm is in cabel-tv buisness, and people can't live without their tv

That job sounds somewhat menial, but is it truly that bad, you get a chance to spam on GB surely this helps

Xandax · Post by **Xandax** » Tue Jul 03, 2001 5:11 am

The job is that bad - and my boss is a complete jerk

- but fortunally with a 2 Mbit ADSL line I've GB running in the background whenever I'm at work

- That's nice......until I get home to my K56 modem

So what's up with you?? - at work?

I'm glad you asked this, because in Britain it's a bed for a small child

@all: I haven't seen many thrillers/horror movies in my life, but how come that in all the Amercian ones I've seen people always get killed when they are having sex, smoking pot or (girls only) taking showers?

Originally posted by Waverly:
That's an accurate observation. Probably related to some repressed sin and guilt issues. ie Inuldge and pay the price.

What, you people haven't seen Scream?

"There are certain rules that one must abide by in order to successfully survive a horror movie! For instance, Number One: You can never have sex. (crowd moans and cheers) Sex equals death, OK? Number Two: You can never drink or do drugs. (crowd moans and cheers again) No, it's the sin factor, it's a sin, it's an extension of Number One! And Number Three: Never, ever, ever, under any circumstances, say 'I'll be right back', 'cause you won't be back."

Good afternoon everyone

Hiya Georgi.

yes - I've seen the scream movies - I thought them boring

I can't seem to distinct them from each other - because I saw them all in one evning/night
