This topic is the ONLY place in which any nonsense or off topic posts/discussions should take place. It was originally built to accommodate veteran members of the forum, but all or welcome. Have fun and happy posting!
Well maybe they should be nicer or am I the only one getting the twats. If they want respect from me they need to show me respect as well. Then again their better than the people that come door to door "Are you the owner of thsi property?" "Yeah thats me 17 and already the proud owner of a mansion, you want to know how I got my millions? I invented the little symbol on products that show you which way to put the batteries in" "No I don;t want fucking double glazing, you can see I already have it can't you"
As for Australia, I have a brother living in Sydney, and have visited a few times. My first impression was that it is very superficial and everyone is out to get more shiny expensive things than everything else.
Sydney is eh. I prefer Melbourne. Both are somewhat pretentious in different ways, but Melbourne is, to me, friendlier. Then again somebody from, say, Adelaide or Brisbane will tell you that both Sydneysiders and Melburnians are tighta**es. But I came from Sydney so Melbourne's a relative improvement.
And lol @ pages 43-46.
Africa is my right arm and Asia is my left arm. Bring it!
I daresay you'd be a little lopsided lolol.
Somebody needs to write that line into a song. I am reminded of The Riddle..."I've got two strong arms, Blessings of Babylon..." hahaha.
DDx (that's how I'm going to call you from now on), I saw your claim of being able to put out 400lbs or something from a punch, so I thought "how can I simulate that without asking somebody to punch me in the head?"
Here's what I did.
1. Jump into a headstand. 2. Take your hands off the ground so you're just standing on your head. 3. Jump. On your head.
Not my brightest idea ever.

In other news, the telemarketing industry contributes to racism.

I visited Melbourne briefly too. It was just like Brighton, but bigger, nothing particularly special about it. The again if you live in a place you get a different impression of it.

Yeah thats definitely true i remember i was watching the news about how "The South Side" (of pittsburgh) is dirty and allegheny county has to have people work weekends to clean. My first thought was its pronounced Sahside and all the broken beer bottles just add to the atmosphere of the south side
Speaking of telemarketers one of my mom's friends use to be a telemarketer and he would tell me stories of how he would mess with someone if they were belligerent or were messing around with him on the phone he'd write down their number, call em from a pay phone, fake an indian accent and mess with them or he'd use names like Paul Kersey (charles bronson's character in death wish) and jeffrey dahmer

Lol. My friend used to work in one of those places too. He said whenever anyoe made a sale, which would be like once every 2 weeks, everyone would cheer and go crazy. A sad existence.

Yea, I remember seeing news reporters in my old neighbourhood, because there was a murder nearby. They were questioning people, trying to give the impression it was a really deprived area, when it really wasn't that bad.
If we are still talking about telemarketers, I have a trick where I put on an Indian accent and pretend I am from Telstra when they ring up. It is pretty funny until they go all rude and hang up on me.

yeah the south side is a historic district and the only thing that was actually on the ground was cigarette butts and scraps of paper on the sidewalk like um north side and ocean side is littered with bullet casings i think thats a bit more of a problem

Exactly. I guess you don't realise the extent of it until they come to your door, but the media will do anything to get a story and will distort the truth completely.
