bought this massive state of origin dvd thing, every game from 1980 til 2013 on dvd

game 2, 2008 doesn't exist on the dvd.

f**king merkins f**k f**k.

anyone got a copy of that game in full on dvd they wanna share?

if they advertised that it had every game on it and it doesn't that's misleading advertising - demand a dvd with game 2 or your money back

seems like a major f**k up

Missed you MU; how has life been?

Daughter is almost 6 months old
I've been doing work for NRL clubs, authors and a UK website, smashing historical data into rlp (i've got 1908 to 1924 done, with team line ups )

And i still havent had a sleep yet.

Very soon i will invent a new language based on grunts and suggestive looks. I will name it after Russell Crowe, something like shithackmerkinual

Morning all. Had a small procedure done yesterday to try and alleviate the pain in my feet when in bed at night. Early days yet, but I noticed a large improvement last night. Fingers crossed.

Looks like you're having huge change :) Great to hear some of your achievements though!

Let me know how you go with the language ;-)

so shoulder charges are OK now ?

wohoo

I don't understand the disconnect between the NRL's edict and the judiciary. Is there some sort of political thing going on?

Good stuff, any improvement is great news. Pain in bed sucks the big one. Sleep time should be painless & restful.

Had an interview in June, they said probably by end of July you'll know

Was discussing last thursday with a mate thinking that one is probably gone but oh well

Last friday I was on a bus between Queenstown and Wanaka and got a call from an unknown number. Didn't realise I had roaming enabled. But I got offered a graduate role next year down in Canberra. Moving out of home, making a good wage, forging my own life after finishing this masters degree. Stoked and a bit giddy since. Great opportunity.

Jeez they don't make buying a house very easy nowadays.

Everything worth anything is going up for auction and the listings give you nothing in terms of what to expect.

Around my neck of the woods, the zoning restrictions have recently changed which makes it even more interesting.

Nothing ever goes for unders anymore. You see a nice, near new 4 bedroom house go for $800k one weekend and an old bomb 4 bedroom place just down the road will go for $2mill the next weekend. Of course, because all of these properties are in the same suburb, you only need a couple of $2mill sales and the median price for the whole suburb goes up.

Then those who have a normal house to sell start looking at the median price and getting greedy. Sadly, at this stage there is no shortage of people willing and able to fork out for basically anything that hits the market so its kind of hard to see where its all going to end.

It's pretty tough at the moment. I would hate to be a first home buyer...

I don't like what it will take for the wife and I to enter the market at some stage...

look at a house and land package. They tend to be cheaper on smaller blocks of land but are a good way to get into the market.

Glad to hear you're on the mend, mate!
