Yeah, yeah. You really have all the cliches memorised don't you? What's next, kiwibird - "So's your old man?" Go take a bath, you still smell of ewe-shit. Christ, why am I wasting my time on someone who lives in Australia's vermiform appendix? I have better things to do - like sort socks and clean the litter box.

Somehow I imagine they're drawn mainly to the opportunites rather than the people. You guys are not the only ones with the "hordes at the door"

True, true. Have you been watching the IPL?

I've been following it via Cricinfo and watching highlights on Youtube. I wish Lee, Ponting and others could have stayed till the finals.

I've seen little bits here and there including Gillies big ton but its hard to get interested when I dont have "my team" to follow. Any idea if Warnies team are still in?

Even granting that it is indeed true that "the whole world hates America," why would you even imagine that we care? The very premises for the (constant) assertions that "the whole world hates America" ought *also* to tell you people that we simply don't give a damn about what foreigners think. Sheesh!

Which happen also to be a better match to your intellectual caliber. :-D

You should know by now how hostile the Lounge is. Despite the stupidity here, I find the Soapbox much more relaxing. I feel "imprisoned" in the Lounge - like I have to watch my every step. By the way, you've got quite the fan club. I've never had so many greyed out posts. You dragged over all the regular Lounge lizards and their itchy '1 vote' fingers.

I've gotta be - I did my time in academia. You don't survive if you're not. It's partly the reason I moved out of the Ivory Towers and into the Private Sector - I got tired of grown adults acting like kids. Mind you it's not that different now, but at least it's not a continuous battle. To fill the void, I come here! :-\

Ah, OK, so it STILL hurts, does it? Interesting, interesting.

Drawing on my fine command of language, I said nothing.

[73Zeppelin]

You shouldn't take lessons from me kid. I'm a bad influence.

[soap brain]

I don't know what you're talking about...

He's fascinating. He's like a puzzle that I haven't solved yet.

Maybe I AM a fuckwit after all, who knows.

[73Zeppelin]

Oh, I don't think so...

[soap brain]

Sometimes I hate myself for what I say.

That's because you're still young. Don't worry about it, but also don't be so hard on yourself.

[soap brain]

Other people don't seem to have that problem...
