    Whats your favorite Christmas song?

    AND THE BOYS OF THE NYPD CHOIR WERE SINGING GALWAY BAY... AND THE BELLS WERE RINGING OUT FOR CHRISTMAS DAY. A fairytale of New York by The Pogues It's dull, it's gritty, it's not that happy and I love it. It also reminds me of one of the more heartwarming moments of my life. My weekly...

    Update: PAX Australia Tickets Now on Sale

    My first thought too. Although, they've taken a good approach to it by pre-booking accommodation to offer to PAX goers. Got my 3 day pass sorted, and itching for it already. Had a blast there this year.

    Protection of the stupid. (Workplace Health And Safety)

    Oh, absolutely. But that's a perfect example. Ban a perfectly good apparatus across the board purely because there are SOME instances when it's not the best item for the job.

    Protection of the stupid. (Workplace Health And Safety)

    Firstly, some background... I'm an electrician. I have been in construction for just on 10 years now. Everything from domestic housing to townhouse estates to industrial warehouses. I've been around and seen a lot of different ways of doing things. Recently, as in the past 3 to 4 years, it...

    Poll: Scotch

    May I ask, why don't you touch anything younger than 12 years? I've had some horrible Scotches older than 12 years and some amazing ones as young as 5.

    Poll: Scotch

    And on that note, go and do an organised tasting. Most good bars will organise something at some point. My local just recently did a Jameson night with the Southern Hemisphere rep for Jameson, and a Scotch night with a guy who's ambition is to be the world ambassador for Johnnie Walker. They're...

    Poll: Scotch

    While I do very much enjoy high end, quality single malts, they're still inferior to good Irish whiskey. Triple distilled for the win. If you get the chance, try Jameson Rarest Vintage Reserve. Quite simply the most gloriously smooth whiskey I've ever had. It ain't cheap, but treat yourself...

    Live concerts hurt my ears. Any suggestions?

    Yea, I'll jump on the ear plugs bandwagon here. And that advice goes to everyone. I'm 26, and I'm already looking at a hearing aid due to eating loss. Partially my fault, partly jut one of those things te doctors can find a reason for. And believe me, hearing loss at this age sucks. If I got to...

    Australian city spends $170,000 on... this

    I wonder if one of those tits is supposed to be the PM... Or is she the whole thing?

    Looking for some new instrumental/limit vocals music to relax to.

    Cheers for all the suggestions Guys. Loving all of them to be honest.

    Looking for some new instrumental/limit vocals music to relax to.

    G'day all. Recently, I've taken to going for long bushwalks, or chilling in the city gardens with a book to try and take a step back from the usual full on nature of life. During these trips, I like to have some sort of music going that doesn't really distract me from where I am. As an...

    What is your passion?

    You know, at this moment, nothing. If sorta been half-heartedly trying to find something to occupy my spare time and I've come to the conclusion that I'm going to be starting on a rather spartan lifestyle for a while and aiming to constantly improve myself physically. So, lots of gym work...
