ok..................not THAT antiqueOriginally posted by ShrodingersCat:where's the shop?
hee antique cameras? remind me of the time i took a module in large format - u know complete with the accordion lens. It's really CUMBERSOME just for 2 slides to be taken!!
Have returned all knowledge back to teacher
but its fascinating seeing how it all worked...
if i were Christine, i'd choose none of the above...
the Phantom, as i said, is a mash of 3 psychopaths...
he had a mother figure/"protector" in Mdm Giry, like NORMAN BATES
he wore a mask and almost could not be killed, like JASON
he was hideously scarred and preyed on young children, like FREDDY KRUEGER
then also, he had a letch for young flesh.. whom he brought up, sort of like Humbert Humbert in Lolita...
hmm.. a paedophiliac Lolita-complex riddled psychopath... uhh... not a chance...
then you have the Viscount Raoul....
what the heck is WRONG with this dude?
he seemed the only sane fella until... he decided to let the maniac go, knowing the maniac will come back and stalk the woman he loves... if it were me, i'd have turned him into mincemeat or tied the fella up and served him to the Police...
but no.... he asked the woman he loves to go perform the very play the maniac wrote... knowing the maniac knows the theater like the back of his paw.... and is willing to stalk and murder anyone who much as looks as "his girl" wrongly..
then he goes, almost unarmed to "save" Christine... without bring the rest of the whole damned battalion of Police he has at his disposal...
what the heck is wrong with stopping the damned play and sending the Police to hunt down and take out the Phantom with extreme prejudice?
i dunno... seems like you have a choice between a psychopath paedophile or a barely-sentient moron who is willing to put his "lover" in harm's way...

Just bought tickets to see the "Walking with dinosaurs" show at the end of the month. Should be good. Look forward to that.

We are also going to see the Phantom of the Opera in September. Did you go and see that when they were in Singapore?
We've watched the dinosaurs documentary on TV too and will be interesting to see the "live" form one at the show.Originally posted by the Bear:it's at 9am.. so i've about 15 minutes more before i go off
walking with dinosaurs.. it was shown on tv as an animal planet documentary.. but i missed most of them.. prefer to see current critters... the documentary last night where they took deep sea submersibles to the depths was good.. probably my all-time fave.. they saw things like Grenadier Fish, Chimeras, Vampire Squid and other deep sea things like Conger Eels and 6-Gill Sharks..
as for the Phantom.. uhh.. ahahaha.. no.. not a big fan of that... went to watch the movie and wrote this "review" of sorts when the question came up about Christine...
Make yourself a strong coffee....Originally posted by pwnz0r:I haven't felt this sleepy on a working morning for very very long.
So yawnz... Fuzzy headed.
Ya, my office was given some trial kopi machine for 4 days with gourmet coffees. One serve of kopi comes in a vaccuum packed sachet. Just load the sachet into the machine, viola.. Good coffee comes out. Good Italian quality. Got like 6 diff flavours.Originally posted by honeymouse:Make yourself a strong coffee....![]()
That's like 3 quart bottles of Heineken, Guinness or TigerOriginally posted by honeymouse:Talking about beer.... I bought a stubbie home from Darwin last week. It's called the NT stubbie. I don't drink beer but I can't resist bringing home the NT stubbie (as souvenir) as it's not the normal 375ml stubbie but a 2L!!!!![]()
