Note that the free market ideologist are not quite consistent in this case... Historically the students formed a union to defend their interest and provide some services to the student body. Now So with the SSAA in place, I wouldn't be paying $350 to the Union for services that essentally are provid...

agree Note that the British and French equivalent of Hicks in Guantanamo Bay got sent back to their country quite a while ago. Which says that while Tony Blair is a Bush yes-man he still knows how to negotiate when needed. The Rodent is a Bush yes-man that does not know how to negotiate.... or he is...

Completely agree with you Benny. I was not convinced either by the early years but in the last three seasons Mark has matured a lot, combining good skills with a very professional approach to his footy. He was one of this year's best. Mark McVeigh can play almost any position and there lies the prob...

No Benny, Bush is not the puppet of the generals: the US Military is really professional and quite moderate, they hate to see kids blown up to pieces in Iraq. This is why so many retired generals strongly asked for the departure of Rumsfeld and completely despise Bush. Bush Jr. backing is much more ...

Filth, I am a big fan of yours both for footy and politics, but no, Hindenburg appointed Hitler, not Bismark who was long long dead. As for Bush he is already history, reviled in his own country, hopefully Australian voters will vote the Rodent out of office before long. Hopefully in a democraty the...

Sorry my sentence was misleading: while it is reasonable to buy a 42-50" plasma panel, it is only the LCD 42" and below that will be less than $2K (and a bit more from major brand). $3.5K for a 50" plasma is a good price. The resolution of all panels 42" and below is usually 1366...

The best plasma are by Pioneer and Panasonic. The best LCD are by Sony, Sharp and Toshiba. Sony and Sharp have the best above 40", Toshiba is the best 32-36". The Chinese brands e.g. TCL are very well priced but are not as good. While LCD is the technology of the future, it still will take...
