Speaking of TV: I was watching a show called Lilyhammer the othe day. It's about a New York mobster who asks to be placed in witness protection in Lillehammer, Norway because he remembers seeing it on TV during the '94 Winter Olympics and thinking it looked like a nice place.

Decent show, but there's a scene where they were in a bar in this small town in Norway having a drink and I had to do a double take because something in the background caught my eye.

Ah $15M is ultimately peanuts to a government. I'd be more concerned that the whole thing was a bit of a jumbled mess. And the shortlist was rubbish.

I thought there was a few decent ones on the long list.

I preferred this one to the one they went with but when it was mocked up it was navy blue instead of black.

Yeah this would be my concern. I think there were lots of reasons why NZ would want to change flag, but I think they made a hash of the process and there won't be an appetite to do it again for another 20 years.

I see New Zealand has voted to keep it's flag as is.

Shame, some of the new designs were pretty cool.

This one, for example.

As I mentioned on the other thread, I studied theoretical physics for a large number of years in several places. The characters are crude stereotypes of what people think these people are like in my experience. I understand the concept of exaggerating and stereotyping in a comedy but it really did bug me for a long time.

Most highly successful physicists are the same as highly successful people in other fields. They're annoying good at everything, including getting along with people (it's actually incredibly important these days).

Now mathematicians...those ****ers are weird.

The Big Bang Theory is completely vanilla, it's neither good or bad, it just is. I'll happily have it on in the background if I'm surfing or something like that.

I've always thought that people who actively dislike it probably see a little too much of themselves in the caricatures displayed...

You're all autists, basically.

That's quite impressive, did you buy a mount for your tablet on the board or something?

Yeah big bang theory is gash. Tried to watch it once or twice and don't get what the fuss is about.

Big Bang theory is the worstest. Anyone who thinks it's funny needs to go evaluate themselves.

Was it called Bourbon County? I think Jim Beam's distillery is actually in a dry county.

Why would you hire a DJ and give him CDs to play? Seems like a complete waste of money.

It made sense at the time!! He had all the gear - cd changers, amps, speakers etc but I wanted to make sure the music was good.
I was at one wedding before in Mayo and the dj just played everything from Nirvana to The Cure. It was brilliant!! No oul fuddy duddy C+W or generic pop music. All the people of the ages of the bride and groom never left the dancefloor!!

rsh118

Don't start me on wedding stuff. 'Hair cut? €5. Wait, wedding haircut?? €50 cheers!'

Half the time I swear it's just for the additional pressure on them to deliver something half-decent!

Oul ones always love a band and a good band will get everyone up dancing. We had "boogie nights" and they were very good. I wanted "the bootleg beatles" but they wouldn't commit to the date incase a festival came up (even a full payment up front wouldn't swing them).

Dj was a tosser. I had 4 cds of music made up in advance - everything from the stone roses to the smiths, oasis, blur etc...basically the music of our younger days and our friends. No he decided to play things like the rave version of the fields of athenry and just general pop of the day crap.

I was too busy boozing and schmoozing to bother giving out to him but it was bad form from him.

I reckon awec is going to be on here steady for the next few months!! No pressure big man!!
