(and NO Elwyn, Patrick is not related to me in any way)
  6:23am
David:

what's the one-word theme? countries?
  6:24am
Meghan:

That is what I thought Dave B...... I knew it got mixed up.

Simon:

Just picking up on the newswires that there are heightened tensions in the middle east today. Apparently down to some crazy American shock jock creating significant offence by misplacing the capital of Dubai. Live on air. Would you believe some people?

Meghan:

HA!..... it doesn't have to be a capital! it can be any town too!
  6:41am

Dave B:

I lost respect for Australians after "Young Einstein"
  8:19am
fred:

@fred: Bouillon Belge doesn't have liter mugs nor outside tables, but has the WMD you're talking about in both variety and quantity.
  8:19am
Unclear on the concept:

Great Babylon set. Amityville is next, right?
  8:20am

Oh Dave.... It's just Yahoo Serious. Don't blame all Austrialians for his lameness....
  8:20am
Elwyn:

@Dave B: You monster! How could you NOT love an Aussie scientist who rocks?
  8:20am
Meghan:

Unclear... Babylon is in Iraq... so a little segue you know....
  8:21am
Dave B:

GASP! how can you say that about Flight of the Conchords?!
  8:26am
pierre:

@ Cheri Pi : it would be great to have all of you here !

@ fred : i'm not a beer places specialist (althougth i enjoy it), i know near this area there must be places with terasse and good beer, a start at the Bouillon Belge, and then moving (or not) to other places.
  8:27am
glenn:

it's easy. next to little britain, flight of the conchords is the worst thing i've ever seen.
  8:27am
Dave B:

OK - I take that back. It WAS just Yahoo Serious. Dundee kinda sucked too
  8:29am

  8:38am
glenn:

oh, and there was a show called the games ( i think) about the preparation for the sydney olympics. that was hilarious.
  8:42am
luh3417:

the games was great but again a New Zealander Fred Dag aka John Clarke in fact was largely responsible for it; but if we want to blame a film that got Australia into Ahghanistan then maybe Gallipoli?
  8:42am
fred von helsing:

wait... the show is traveling to Bananastan ?
  8:44am
glenn:

i do like gallipoli. personally, if i was a british soldier, i would have shot all the british officers before i shot anybody else.
  8:48am
