Yeah the Blue Mountains are pretty sweet. Where else did you visit over here?

Sorry mate, I quite like it out here. I'll deal with the spelling.

100% with you on the whole "couldn't care less" issue. Drives me nuts when people use that incorrectly. Try living in Australia. Its pretty much a mishmash of English and American-English in terms of spelling out here. Its terrible.

That was an absolute killer review Roxi, I'm gonna throw that one on my list also.

Good to see another Aussie on the forum. Hope you enjoy the rest of it. I read that book last year.

There is a high probability that will change. I am 25 now. My parents read to me constantly when I was a kid and I read myself until my early teens. I then totally abandoned reading throughout high school with the exception of novels I was required to read for English. I didn't really start reading again until about 18 months ago. I read 50-something books last year.

You can really tell that Roarke lived through a lot of the stuff in the film. His performance is pretty powerful. I didn't really like Penn in 'Milk' to be honest, I felt he overacted it a little. Frost/Nixon was a great film.

I think Shaun Penn won that Oscar for his role in 'Milk' didn't he? Personally I thought Roarke was better.

Watched 'The Wrestler' last night. Really, really enjoyed it. Roarke was excellent.

I don't like Liverpool full stop. Aston Villa would be my preference, followed by City then Spurs. I dislike Redknapp.

Yeah I'm enjoying it. I'm about 300 pages in, but it is just so immense! Its my favourite classic as well, although that isn't too hard given that it is the first one I have actually managed to stick with.

I loved The Secret History. Awesome book.

It is ridiculous that PEDs have resulted in any sportsmen that excels beyond what is typically achieved is referred to as a drug cheat. Couldn't possibly be immense talent and training could it? No, definately drugs. Pronouncing people guilty with absolutely no evidence to back it up FTW!!!!!

I watched this fight. Incredibly disappointing. I didn't expect Joshua to pose too much of a threat to Manny but I did at least expect that he would come to win. He was happy just to survive. He had limited success when he threw but knew that he would be overwhelmed if he really opened up so he just stayed safe. Poor effort, certainly won't help his marketability into the future. Pacquiao on the other hand was incredible at always.

Glad Man Utd managed to beat Liverpool last night. Hopefully either Spurs or Citeh should be able to get a hold of fourth from here!

Still reading 'The Count of Monte Cristo'. I'm breaking it up with lighter reading though. The book is massive and incredibly dense.

I recall going to some fairly ordinary rock festival when I was a teenager. Can't remember what it was called. Billy Idol played it from memory. First band I ever saw live was Pearl Jam a few tours ago.

I'm about 130 pages into 'The Count of Monte Cristo'. All good so far, it really is a massive book though.

Well done to Canada. We have a Canadian at our work who actually took the day off to watch it. I bet he is pretty stoked.

Cheers Kylie. Its a bit daunting looking at the size of it but I'm sure once I rip in it will be all good.

Finally finished 'The Secret History' last night. It took me forever as I have been going through some personal stuff and my reading has taken a hit. Great book. Really enjoyed it. That woman can really tell a story. I think I am going to read 'The Count of Monte Cristo' next. I bought it the other day after seeing the movie again.

I saw that the other weekend. Very funny.

This is bang on mate, exactly how I see it.
