Wasn't Triple J the station that put on that "Drum" contest a few months back?

There's a short in Screening Room for that... title was "Funniest Cult Videos" or similar.

I, too listened to some of the triple j hottest 100..the last song I heard was something by ben folds.. & I watched a few episodes of the america's next top model-athon.. which was fun.. & basically spent the day with my dad..which I haven't done in ages.. it was funny to realise just how much he didn't know about me..

My day was pretty aussie.... first of all as write this i am currently i7 minutes into my 20th year of life... wow... i feel so old......

As for my day today i had a BBQ with some mates,watched the tennis with Alecia Mollic doing exceptionally well in her quart final.... not winning but playing very well and looking rather hot mind you... :D

then i played some tennis myself and broke my pre-eighties racket... :( and from there went to work to do double time!

what a day...

Mr.Blonde
01-26-2005, 08:23 AM

are you implying that we are slow, eh? lol

NicklausLouis
01-27-2005, 08:18 PM
No I was implying that I am 27 and I fell old as well.

But the fact that you didn't catch that makes me wonder if I should have been implying that you Aussies are slow.

But if I implied that would the original implication be then null and void, in essence an un-implication?

Well, I've gone and confused myself again.

In the grand scheme of things, that makes you a "wallaby-wannabe". Give or take a few points, that's roughly 15% Australian. :cool:

Or 20% in the hole, as far as NZ goes. http://www.stevenrichards.com/images/smiley_creepy.gif
