In one day, I drove from Cardiff to Deeside (N.Wales), to Bradford, to Hull and back to Cardiff. http://i66.tinypic.com/2hd5stu.png I was somewhat tired when I got home 600 miles and 20 hours later, but it had to be done. Worked 36 hours straight once. Had to be done to keep the client happy after ...

200 is still very high. <50 is the magic number.

I was lucky and got diagnose at 30. The older you are, the higher the risk of Diabeetus, Liver Cancer and Heart disease

Bloody hell, from your posts and grumpiness I would have put you at about 45-55 years old at least.

It's going to kill the parking at SFS. Fortunately the limo rank will still be operational which should make it bearable. :) Why drive in a city like Sydney?

The other factor is that Turnbull made a couple of half-hearted and abortive attempts to start national conversations about potentially interesting topics like taxation and innovation. Innovation is the big challenge, of course. Where are the new jobs going to come from? Nobody knows. Gutting TAFEs...

Thats the issue. I have no idea what that clause could be. You cant just say "dont spend too much." The problems stem from the budgets being done when the project is in its infancy and the assumption is no issues are encountered. In real life, issues are encountered and these add cost. Indeed - I'v...

When I lived in Charlton, I lived opposite the Kebab shop near the station - we rang up for deliveries. It was so close I could read the specials off of their wall menu

Good post. Much of this is due to the emergence of Green leaders like Bandt and Di Natale. Unlike Brown and Milne, these new Greens are ideological zealots. Although many Australians hold Brown in high regard, they weren't going to vote for someone who uses political office as a soap box. Bandt and...

Yes, "session" beer used to just be known as beer.

Not sure I'm any more able a drinker than you. Perhaps just more likely to disable myself!

I can see a challenge the next time I'm over the ditch

I'm talking specifically at beers with "Session" in the labelling.

I guess you guys are more able drinkers than myself

A business like me knows a thing or two about clauses relating to projects. I'm wondering what kind of clause you are referring to. You see, I can then decide whether tor agree with you or not. Budget Creep of more than 50% generally means the project is not costed properly. Whether that is the fau...

Most of my favorite beers these days would be in the 6 to 8% range. I like Strong beers but anything over 5.8% is not a session beer - it's just a marketing thing now Depends how long your session is and how fast you drink them I guess. Although I agree with the sentiment and will often look for so...

f**k incredible. Lots of stuff from the new album, which translates really well live, plus a fair amount of what Bruce called 'legacy songs'.

I saw them on their last tour so happy to hear new and legacy!
