Cheers guys - it's an old car and doesn't have an AUX button either. Replacing the CD unit would leave a massive gap in the dash because its not really a standard size.

It's worth going in and asking next time you're in or around a JB or similar. They often have a list of models somewhere that various units are compatible with. My car (2000 model) had a CD/CassetteTape/Pretty big interface and they took it out, put the new one in. I had to purchase a little pocket. which fits snuggly over the top in the gap where the rest of my audio used to be. So there are possible ways to fill the gaps etc. Worth posing the question.

A stereo that is double in height to the standard is called a "Double DIN". Most subie's (01 liberty for example) require a double din stereo. Ask about them at any car audio joint and they'll know what youre on about.

Mate, I'm with you on this one..
Add to that list pretty much any HBO show that is mass marketed to this formula: Graphic violence + gratuitous sex scenes + shitty computer special effects...
Friends keep benging on about shows like Game Of Thrones (which admittedly, I've only seen about 5 minutes of it), but going on about "oh you should see the sex scenes"...
Ummm.. If thats the key reason you are watching it, are you aware that there are complete movies where it is nothing but sex scenes?

Pet hate - nothing wrong with sex scenes when they are in context/relative to the storyline.Various series of Underbelly are prime examples of having sex scenes in it to seem edgy from what I have seen. Have to say, Game of Thrones season 2 seemed less reliant on flesh, and more focused on the story, which was good.

Yeah true.. As I said, I havent seen a great deal of it, so I probably shouldnt have used that as an example..
Better example would be the whole True Blood series.. Sooooooo many of my lady friends going off about the hot sex scenes.. etc..
Well if you want that, watch a porno.. Probably have better storyline and more convincing acting in it too..

12-11-2012, 04:09 PM
The ones I listed are really in two categories:
- Crappy sitcoms that never develop and follow a strict forumla (eg how i met your mother, big bang theory). You've seen one ep, you've seen them all.
- Crappy dramas that have either a weak storyline or more common than not, atrocious acting (sons of anarchy, the walking dead). I just cannot get in to the characters in these series as they are so poorly acted, so OVER acted. Not to mention the terrible B-grade special effects and just overall corniness of them. Shudder...

how's how getting knocked out in the fourth round of wimbledon by one of the best tennis players in the last 25 years is seen as a failure by the frail old fossils of the australian media fraternity.

why would you listen to so called life advice when it's doled out to you by the biggest bunch of numpty cheerleaders of all time in a paternalistic, condescending diatribe. deadset spare me. the bloke already has a mum and dad.

Greatest thing to happen in Australian tennis for many years. Love the bloke. Need more like him.

Kid calls it as he sees it and plays one helluva game of tennis.

I'd rate him up there with the greats like Nastasie and McEnroe.

It's basically geocaching with a ridiculously popular IP added via a phone app. Was up on the boulevard on Saturday night and there were so many people just walking around with their phones out collecting Pokemon.

And as pv4 said, it's successfully got a bunch of idle nerds out and about to play a game. Pokemon, fighting the obesity epidemic, one Pidgey at a time.

My precious glad wrap got me out the house the other night...when we ran out of the sucker! It wasn't a chore going to get more because I knew the cutter would be correctly located.

Truth be told, we now get Aldi's wrap instead of Glad.

Yeah that had occurred to me. It's got people outside to stick their heads in their phones. Probably a timely warning that celebrity chef has come out to give everyone a warning about the dangers of sunscreen - or whatever the headline said.

There's already been a fatality... someone walked onto a highway in the US, I think. Will see if I can find it... though I think it was probably fake.

My old roommate has got some app or hack or something he is using on the game to get everything, just so he can "take over gyms and hassle noobs"..

V8's are the business.
Only way it works is if in CBD/Beach/Harbour.
Massive exposure across the world.
Would sell Jets shirts into places like Austin TX, and Bahrain.

Now there is a "Stadium" track option - geez, there is a few houses on that route. More opportunity for the Jets though very certain the Knights will hijack that route (especially as the fan demographic is similar). Every comment on the stadium will be "home of the Knights".

I actually appreciate the viewpoint

Squires is the same age as me, has a lot of the same cultural references, particularly The Simpsons and Star Wars, has similar political views and a very similar sense of humour

I have, over the years, come to realise that my experiences are not universal and don't expect everyone to get humour that amuses me

Reading between those lines you actually hate the V8s being here. I no fan either but I would like it relocated to a more appropriate local place...maybe west Wallsend or Cessnock?

It actually doesn't bother me that it's in Newcastle. I can just stay home and it won't affect me.

what I do hate is that V8 races exist in the first place.

Olives. You either love the, or hate them. There is no in between. Peanut butter. Can't stand the smell or taste.

Also I could never get into Lord of the Rings. I've tried a handful of times. Everything the same thing happens. I like but don't love the first one, and then somewhere in the 2nd one it sort (https://digital-planner.com/daily/graph-diary) of loses me, and by the 3rd one I'm either completely lost or totally uninterested in most of the characters. I do like the Frodo/Sam/Gollum storyline though.
