how to set your clock when going to Oz?
Hi all,
just a bit of fun with a serious side.. I bought an electric heater yesterday (it was all they have - but the designs were seriously 1960's!) I mean right down to the bakerlight knobs!
But is works and i`m cosy (even if I have to turn the TV up because the electric meter is spinning at 2000Rpm)
A few things are ahead - like wireless broadband in the CBD and um....
Ok I live in the country and it feels around 10 years back (and I love it!) Looking forward to getting off this CDMS mobile and onto 3G though.

Decent cars, think Holden Statesman. Cute women long before all this PC rubbish.
People often bang on about the 60s, I reckon the early to mid 70s was the time. All you needed to do was find a place.
On a more serious note, aussie in still pretty well in the 00's, we have mobiles, playstations etc.

Hmmm...does that mean:
a) women are more ugly since PC;
b) you like looking at cute women on your PC; or
c) in 1972 it was OK to treat women solely as objects of desire.

c): only it still is.
Disclaimer: Use of women as objects of desire is only recommended as part of a balanced lifestyle of mutual respect and opportunity thus still afforded them.
