I will be there, thanks.

A nice little discussion. I watch a bit of film, including non-English films. Here are some other film polls I enjoy (mostly polls of film critics, film directors, and other film professionals): Sight and Sound film magazine Has been done every 10 years since 1952! They Shoot Pictures Don’t...

This is a continuation of the current favourite films discussion started by topcropper from here. So here are some of my favourite/best children’s films, in no particular order: Live Action Films A Little Princess (Alfonso Cuaron, 1995, USA): This is a jewel of children’s cinema and a...

1 for me please. Thanks.

I'll have to miss my first dinner since I joined Somersoft :(. There's a free lecture that evening by a Nobel Economics laureate (Joseph Stiglitz) that I've been wanting to attend for weeks. :) The fact that this co-incides with a dinner in the West was entirely unplanned. ;).

Momo: A novel about time Thanks for this great thread, Player. Being quite new to Somersoft, I’ve only come across it recently, and thought to add a little something to it. This discussion about time versus money reminded me of a great novel about the value of time in modern society. It is a...

Some lessons from past elections *Long post warning* - so grab your preferred beverage and settle in! I’ll take a stab at both “who” and “why”, Thorpey….I’ll state my rather tentative prediction upfront – Labor will be returned. The rest of this long post explains why (and if you’re not...

It's just the cost of the meal you order. If you don't want to eat, well then it's free! :)

It's very considerate of you to arrange it just before the end of the financial year. It will bring forward the tax deduction I can claim :D. One for me, thanks. What about ex-lurkers and ex-forum newbies like me? Do I still count? ;)

It's even got the repeat sign included in the score! :eek: I can't wait for the knockout rounds, when we have the prospect of putting up with that drone during extra time and penalties. :rolleyes:

It sounds similar to story no. 88 in Jan Somers’ "Building Wealth Story by Story". For those who aren’t familiar, it’s a great read, and available for purchase here. It contains 101 anecdotes on the good, bad and ugly of property investing (mostly it's good), collected by Jan Somers through...

Some other Australian PM rankings For those who are political junkies, here are some other attempts to rate the Australian PMs: 1. The Age - 18 December 2004 Associated ranking list. This goes back to the time of Curtin i.e. 1941 onwards, and omits caretaker PMs like Forde and McEwan. It...

By winning Euro 2008, I think they've finally overcome the "choking in big tournaments" syndrome. Although they would be the first European side to win a World Cup not in Europe, so on balance I slightly favoured Brazil. Unfortunately, I'll agree with that. It's a tough group and we'll need a...

Updated data on rental property ownership You're too modest Rob! We hang off your every post at Somersoft :D More recent data: Anyway, I’ve tracked down some more recent figures. The ATO has since done a report 2007-8 financial year (refer to Table 2.6 on the 7th page of the report)...
