Does anyone else watch Bob's Burgers 'cos Bob is voiced by the same guy who does Archer?

Also, isn't it great when you forget about a show that you like and then find out there's several episodes to binge on?

i've got to the point where i got used to watching full seasons of shows well after they have played and like it cos i can watch back to back whenever i want - rather than watch one episode and wait a week for another .... i hate watching shows weekly now

Yeah I'm a bit that way. I just remembered Parks and Recreation so I had 9 episodes to catch up on. Couldn't wait 'til season's end. Also, haven't started Game of Thrones, Lost, Breaking Bad, and about 5 years ago I promised someone I'd watch 24. That probably won't happen tho. Or Lost, as I found out it was all a dream or some bullshit.

Makes we wonder what we could achieve if the two current leaders of their respective parties took a long walk off a short pier. This pic after question time today.

like you paid for yours ??

Got no problem if mine was higher.

The thing is, most won't be much higher. UWS has already said they won't be raising fees, for example.

Some unis will go high, but they will be few and far between. Those that do will have the opportunity to become elite universities.

There will be no barrier to entry, either, so these elite unis won't be locking out kids from Western Sydney, for example.

Whoever said our unis are internationally competitive because they saw international students there is an idiot. What do we have, 1 in the top 50 or something? Why the hell can't we have a top 20 or top 10 uni? That won't happen until we deregulate.

For most people it will mean very little change. For those wanting elite degrees it will, but they'll go on to earn a motza so they can afford it.

And whoever posted about free healthcare and free education? Haha, you're a clueless moron. Neither are free. But I guess it's ok when someone else pays for you, right?

Ha ha that was me on both account so I guess I am a idiot and moron then - sorry for having the same opinion as you !!

Of course education / health arent bloody free, someone has to pay for them.

According to this site we have 5 uni's in the top 50
http://www.topuniversities.com/univ...region=+country=+faculty=+stars=false+search=

Not a bad effort for a small country compared to some of the other countries on the list.

It was not all a dream.

I know you'll all find this hard to believe. But Big Tony has just described the jobs situation in defense industries in Sth Australia like this: 'There was a holocaust of jobs'. He has since withdrawn the remark, but a very strange choice of words.
is the 'h' word a forbidden word now? or is there a double standard applied when abbott used it compared to when paul keating or bob brown also both used it as an adjective? agre it was a strange choice but not something worth jumping up and down over like the bay of lefties next to my work area and many others have been doing.

abbott has said plenty of things on par with george w but i think this might be one that is being blown out of context as part of abbott bashing.
