Our eternal gratitude.
Now wait for the humidity to hit tomorrow

 

*Congratulations Nicklong, you've won half a handfull of belly-button fluff.. Try not to use it all at once now!*

Seriously now.. Ta for the rain..

 

We've had a lot of rain since we got to Kalgoorlie and I can't help thinking to myself - they built a pipeline to bring water here?.

 

Did I hit the mark with the humidity or what?? It was feral in the ute today

 

BTW - i'm driving a hyundai accent, in white. horrible little thing!

FYI I'm staying in a place called Stirling. right next to the beach!

P.S. I've spent $300+ on DVDs already!

 

hyundai accent

HAHAHAHAHA!!!

Sorry

Yeah Stirling fairly close to the beach. I'm stayin with a mate at the moment in Scarbs, only 2 min walk to The Lookout/Beach, you can over here the right time thats for sure. If your going be here long enough be sure to checkout the Sunday session at The Sands.

Enjoy!

 

I assume you've got a multi-region player. I'm getting one soon (in addition to the two DVD drives we have in our PCs) and my #1 criteria is multi-region. I already plan on ordering a few DVDs that are either region 1 only or region 2 only. In case you didn't already know, we're on region 4 here.

 

yeah, the car sucks!

and i have got a multi region player, well, three if you include the one i brought with me!

and I'm staying in "Sandcastles" little apartment type thingies literally on the beach.

be careful buying region 1 DVDs, there have been some issues playing them in PAL regions (hence why i don't buy region 1).

Here's why: Region 1 DVDs are in the american NTSC format (which is 30 frames per second), region 2 and 4 are in PAL format (25 frames per second).

now, although most TVs can play either PAL or NTSC signals, the sound on a DVD is made to match the picture because, over a 90 minute picture, the sound will have to be adjusted to fit.

SO, when you play an NTSC DVD on a PAL system, the sound and picture will go out of sync, however slightly. in extreme cases, the sound has been known to slip by 1-2 seconds.

just food for thought.

*points and laughs at the legs*
Good ole NTSC eh? Never Twice Same Colour

 

Are you implying that the US rushed out a TV standard that wasn't superior to the one everyone else waited for?

 

Me??? Never!!

 

<<Are you implying that the US rushed out a TV standard that wasn't superior to the one everyone else waited for? >>

P.S. is there ANYTHING to actually DO here?

 

What, other than sit on the net all day long and complain that there is nothing to do?
(that wasn't a dig at you, more everyone else on here)...

It really depends on what you are into doing. But no, there isn't an awful lot to do in Perth.

 

how ironic that your initials a FA...sweet F A...

sorry, crap joke...

well, i only have net access when i'm at my aunts house, which isn't that often (except i have been able to check messages regularly these last few days).

and as for what i'm into...well, not lying on a beach, not exercising and not anything else boring...

oh well!

anwyay,

Nick "Shorty" Long

 

Well then, that leaves you with going to a movie, walking around Perth (or if you actually want somewhere decent to go, come to Fremantle)... Or going and seeing another movie. And maybe some more movies...

 

God Bless DVDs...

If I was still in Perth I could point you to the best night spots, depending on what you're in to. Can't help out though. The beaches here are better than most of the other beaches I've seen in our country (and I've seen a lot of the supposedly best ones on the east coast). If you want good views for photos, the two best spots would be either Kings Park, or the South Perth river shore. Night or day the view's good in both spots and also (in my opinion) better than the views in our country's other capital cities.
