Tragic news here in Aus: Chopper crashes, killing an ABC reporter, cameraman & pilot. DL has a short article on it. accountant_4_Jesus Aug 20, 03:34

I hadn't realized you were an Aussie. I grew up on the west coast, before settling in California some 40+ years ago. {nm} MojaveMeg Aug 20, 08:29

Oh ok. So around Perth area? I live about 6 hours north of Sydney. {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Aug 20, 22:05

We farmed in the wheat-belt for 6 years, about 150 miles north of Perth, then moved to the coast when the new BP refinery opened in Kwinana. {nm} MojaveMeg Aug 21, 08:55

Ah, I see. I live in the "food bowl" area of NSW. accountant_4_Jesus Aug 21, 20:06

It is sad.....but remember to we Yanks, ABC is a diffeerent network ,,, Buy StarBondFund (EURO too) Aug 20, 12:54

Yes, I did realize that... after I'd posted. {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Aug 21, 20:06

Looks like we all agree on 12 teams for FF, sidenote I just found out a twitter follower is blind is that good or bad for me? {nm} damenchipguy Aug 19, 19:13

We are locked at 12 teams, I get slappy first. I just dont know if I will be slapping or getting slapped :) {nm} damenchipguy Aug 19, 19:20

We'll find out soon enough! Gotta go through the draft first! {nm} slappydavid Aug 19, 22:54

So how soon until we get the first West Memphis Three movie? Antibody Aug 19, 15:31

Who besides Paul, Jane and myself are Doctor Who fans and when did you start watching? {nm} moovinut Aug 19, 10:08

I started with the 9th Doctor, so a relatively new fan...never could get into the older ones when they showed on PBS as I was growing up. {nm} Paul2k Aug 19, 10:10

Well obviouslly the budgets are better now. moovinut Aug 19, 10:15

huge, started as kid in 80's with pbs, 4th doc t.baker was the first, but 5th (davison) became my favorite. tennant a close 2nd. cant stand islander Aug 19, 10:21

Did you know that the eighth doctor was the voice of House on the Doctors Wife episode? moovinut Aug 19, 10:40

IMDB says Michael Sheen was the voice of House, not Paul McGann Jane_Citizen Aug 19, 19:28

BTW did you geek out as I did when K-9 came back a couple of years ago? {nm} moovinut Aug 19, 10:41

that was nice and sarah jane (tho i had only seen very few of her original episodes) {nm} islander Aug 19, 11:06

The nods to the old series are appreciated though. {nm} moovinut Aug 19, 12:13

Fan of the older stuff - don't care for any of the new doctors - Peter Davison 5th my favorite, 2nd Tom Baker (4th) {nm} JDolphin Aug 19, 19:08

I went to conventions back in the 80's and helped run a few {nm} JDolphin Aug 19, 19:10

yeah Amy and Rory are pretty rough. She's so broad and he has to play at her level ... Jane_Citizen Aug 19, 19:21

Dont know Dr Who (yet) but am watching the American spinoff of Torchwood and heard that it relates somehow back to Dr Who? {nm} RazorHawk Aug 19, 12:37

huh, there's an American Torchwood! That totally makes sense ... {nm} Jane_Citizen Aug 19, 19:08

Torchwood: Miracle Day RazorHawk Aug 20, 08:19

Torchwood is mentioned in Doctor Who for some time before the TW show started. Torchwood, BTW, is an anagram of Doctor Who. {nm} PrezBO Aug 20, 11:54

Never watched a single episode in my entire life. I've just never been interested. {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Aug 19, 17:18

took me a while to get over here Jane_Citizen Aug 19, 19:07

not that that series is McGann's fault, he's great, but it was just lean times for the franchise ... {nm} Jane_Citizen Aug 19, 19:29

Got into Doctort Who last year. Started with David Tenet. {nm} PrezBO Aug 20, 11:53

vashta nerada surely is a fan? {nm} Jane_Citizen Aug 20, 18:18

I am watching the 1st Doctor for 1 year. No time to watch. Small movement. {nm} Gijoevu Aug 22, 02:17

it's bucketing down over my home town Jane_Citizen Aug 19, 09:13

is that Australian for rain? {nm} tealfan Aug 19, 09:17

of course :) it's windy and stormy and lots of water is dumping itself on my roof. Jane_Citizen Aug 19, 09:19

... but I didn't realise it was particualrly Australian, heh heh ... Jane_Citizen Aug 19, 09:21

from the sound of things, it's the perfect word for it {nm} tealfan Aug 19, 10:41

I could only imagine how messy your field gets....QuickBooks is my friend. {nm} lobogotti Aug 19, 05:45

3 spots left in the HSX fantasy football league, I should have changed the league name I will remember for next year. damenchipguy Aug 17, 14:05

how many teams do you want? we can always go with 10 if we needs to. If we have larger rosters, that compensates for it {nm} Moviesnob Aug 18, 14:50

How is everybody doing on the Deadline Hollywood Facebook Game? {nm} RazorHawk Aug 17, 13:20

one of the most under-rated players in baseball...ever. poor guy went barely got any recognition for it. all while Jeter was showered for lobogotti Aug 15, 19:46

Well, you certainly get the sense that Thome wouldn't have it any other way. Total blue-collar, meat and potatoes kinda guy. {nm} Paul2k Aug 15, 20:29
