With Game, Drums, Guitar and Mic, Guitar Hero 4: World Tour is $288 @ JB
Rock Band would be something similar

windy, muggy, hot, grey.

okay, that is not too bad. the boy wants one, so possibly getting it for him for Christmas, or a press button coffee machine (the ones that do all the work and you just press a button, no frothing the milk or anything, but they are REALLY pricey, so still tossing up between the two).

automatic coffee machine = FAIL

on the weather... I hate the heat, worse when it's couldy and sticky... grumble

I'll be in criap autumn next saturday though

ummm why?

not sure it is fail when it makes coffee fine and saves him from making his own at 5:30am every morning.

mixtress · Post by **mixtress** » Thu Nov 13, 2008 11:11 am

Serious consensus on the weather I see. When my clothes can dry naturally and I get to wear a singlet without goosebumping, I'm happy with the weather

debatable...

never had good coffee from an auto machine.

Polecat · Post by **Polecat** » Thu Nov 13, 2008 11:22 am

We have an automatic coffee drinding and making MAP machine at work. I am not a fan of the powdered milk that makes the cappucino look so fluffy. seems wrong to me :S

I go for short blacks only, and sometimes they just taste foul. other times moderately foul, sometimes passable :S

The issue is devisive. I live the auto coffee we have at work, but others dislike it so much they drink Nescafe over it.

Lizkins · Post by **Lizkins** » Thu Nov 13, 2008 11:32 am

well that is just the coffee and milk put into them, nothing to do with the actual machine.

opinion = fail

deviant · Post by **deviant** » Thu Nov 13, 2008 11:34 am

I drink the auto coffee here too... not great, sometimes terrible... Ours uses real milk with a hose to the fridge into a jug of milk which is pretty cool I guess. The one we have would have cost 1000s of dollars too.. I cheap one would be even more fail tbh.

I only drink it coz It saves me money anyways

mixtress · Post by **mixtress** » Thu Nov 13, 2008 11:41 am

Just applied for a job I'm qualified for. It pays $210k OTE. Pipe dreams.

ADD_Boy · Post by **ADD_Boy** » Thu Nov 13, 2008 11:43 am

i prefer plunger or perc personally. much nicer flavours..

Liz.. Can't beat one of those Collins place coffees tho hey !!

Mixxy.. what job is that ? Would have to be exec for that much cash ?

mixtress · Post by **mixtress** » Thu Nov 13, 2008 11:55 am

Sales babe, sales. If you make them enough money, they pay you buckets. I've had over 15 years in the industry dealing with execs and I reckon I could just scrape in by the skin of my bullshit. I can't even imagine what it'd be like earning $16k a month.

mrj · Post by **mrj** » Thu Nov 13, 2008 4:11 pm

good because it doesn't pay 16k a month, after tax it would be more like 10,500 a month, still fucking heaps obviously.

actually 9800. forgot to take out SGC
