    Nicolas Cage is to acting what Nickelback is to music.

    Thats not accurate...

     

    All of Nickelback's songs are horrific whilst Cage has made at least three decent movies... I would say he is more like the Noiseworks of Music.

     

    Massive back catalog of crap with one or two okay songs (For Pop Rock of that Era) that you hear around Australia Day.

     

     

    Fair assessment. He also did a lot of bad movies solely to make money in order to get out of debt. I'm sure we have all worked shitty jobs because we needed money at some point.

     

    Raising Arizona alone takes him past Nickelback.

     

    Leaving Las Vegas :up:

     UOTYH: I dont get the whole 'my great grandfather served in WW1' thing. OK, what does it have to do with you?

     

    lol that's like saying "my parents Migrated from (insert country here e.g. Macedonia ;) ) and because it was not me who was born there, then I forgo any connection with that history". Silly post by you TES.

  3. Kind of funny that supposedly the Melbourne Metro is going to begin being built in 2018, the year of the next state election. According to Mr Andrews the government has to basically stop everything they are doing when an election is nearing, and certainly shouldn't begin a new project in an election year :hmm:

    lol The EW was not debated parliamentarily and furthermore Ok'd by the planning minister (Guy) until well into the former government's term. The Metro Rail project and the scrapping of EW link were taken to an election as the Centrepiece infrastructure policies of the alternative government. The people of Victoria threw out a first term (1st time in 60years) conservative government in a political climate perfect for conservative populism with a %4 swing to the alternative party whose infrastructure policies were front and centre of their election campaign. You Tories (and neo-libs) here can bitch and moan all you want but here are the facts: Labor went to the last election with a clear agenda of scrapping the EW link and building the Metro Rail project. The people of Victoria endorsed this agenda at plebiscite. 

     

    Now, I'm not saying you can't be opposed to any of it: The Rail project, the scrapping of EW (and its costs) or just simply want to dig the boots into the other side of the divide. I'm cool with all of that. All of those are valid and you're entitled to feel anyway you want but the simple fact remains that this Rail tunnel has popular endorsement via the polling booth. Nappy's tunnel didn't. 

    Just as I accept federally that scrapping the Carbon and Mining taxes were publicly endorsed and passed through the bicameral mechanism due to popular mandate (Tone's Deliberative supply whinging aside) . I do not agree with either undertaking, I will continue to advocate for a (vastly more improved, efficient) form of both policies and overall critique things that I see as contrary to the betterment of Australian society offered up by what I see as a decidedly regressive government, BUT I accept that that was the decision made via a clear outlining of a policy position endorsed by popular vote at the last federal election. 

     

    Enjoy the (train) ride, chaps :up:

    Stay on your side of the river.  Northsiders and Southsiders shouldn't mix.

    dunno about that, but you personally shouldn't cross to the western side of the river because we don't take kindly to leftards.

     

    Lol yeah, cos there's so many lefties out in the blue belt and it's not like the Western Suburbs are rusted on Labor voters or anything... oh wait. :droy:

    From my research the S6 Edge is just the same phone with a sloped edge screen which can project an image.... are they seriously saying it's worth $200 more? I know morons like gimmicks but surely they are fucken kidding themselves.

    TTIM: Cunts my age fucking off to join ISIS, I will happily join a group to help beat the fuck out of these cunts

    The Kurds are recruiting.

    But you know what? I reckon our SAS will be a tad more useful than a few forumites with a few pints in them. (The SAS are in Iraq now)

     

    SAS are under the control of the current Government who may in fact be part of funding the whole ISIS wankfest (I'm not one for conspiracy theories but it's definitely possible, the American Economy thrives off of war and we have a close partnership with them)
