Had two weeks holidays, going back to work tomorrow
dropped a tailshaft in the first week of hols ...$2k to replace
The next day I fell off my scooter (the skatepark variety) and sprained my right hand/thumb and a massive corky on the left thigh as I landed on the side of the scooter. Smacked the head on the ground too but luckily was wearing a helmet...no golf for the remainder of the hols or much else
Went and saw the latest Star-Wars and came out to find someone had ran into the front fender of our (brand new second hand) BMW M-Sport and not left us a note. We'd only recently replaced our old Subaru B4 Twin turbo because someone pulled out in front of us and the Subi was written off.
That's the three things...but wait there's more
Went out for a nice boat cruise on a friends boat and came back to a dead Touareg, jump started it and there's apparently some other sinister issue draining the battery
Played hide and seek yesterday and ran up to the side of the hot water system quickly to hide and gouged the forehead on some valve release thing

I'm ready to go back to work...thank Christ I didn't get on a plane

You forgot to add that new star wars is the dumbest film since the last mad max and both are dumber than a whole season of full house.

I could watch Daisy Ridley play Rey all day - simple motives for a simple man I guess and as you know I have a few Roos loose in the top paddock

Ridley and del toro both held me back from hurling molotovs at the projector.
 
New star wars was not on the same level of stupid as mad max. Not even close. I'm a star wars tragic and didn't think it was great, but I am hoping that the next film which it set up hits it out of the park. If you want bad star wars look up Hayden Christensen talking about sand.
 
I love sw and mm but both recent offerings were as dumb as Trump

What the **** is kylo ren?
Why does everything blow up in mad max?
Why is that redheaded villain so pathetic? Did he lose his handbag?
So many whys.
 
My feelings are hurt, I really liked Fury Road.
 
Yeah me neither. No avocado's in the wasteland, soils gone sour.
 
If anyone should be encased in body plaster it’s Droid.
Please, please stay indoors and away from all others. :)

The inside goss is that someone shat in said handbag, that’s why he’s cranky.
Haven’t seen the latest SW but will....I’m a fan.
 
Kylo Ren is Han and Leia's son. In a strange piece of casting they hired an actor that looked entirely unlike them both. I agree his character is sort of crap, I still don't see any reason why he would turn to the dark side, or choose to emulate his Grand Father who turned away from the dark side. (In a very catholic move recanting on his death bed!) and yes that red headed villain "General Hux" crappy name and all doesn't do much, as I said I'm hoping the payoff for a film that just advanced the story a little is in the next film.
As for Fury Road I'm pretty sure the screen play read as follows. "They drive into the desert for some reason amidst lots of **** blowing up turn around and come back to where they left from amidst more **** exploding The End." I felt dumber for having watched it and yet for some reason it rates highly on rotten tomatoes and imdb.
 
I know his lineage but I still have the same question. Maybe he wagged special ed classes.

Yes to your review of FR. Even more shameful that Tom Hardy agreed to be in it because I reckon he's generally great.
 
Ahh then watch Taboo on Netflix
Taboo was made by and stars Tom Hardy it’s pretty damned good.

+1. The 'story' of Fury Road is cars drive around in the desert and **** gets blown up. If that's the expectations you went in with, it was actually pretty good.
As for Star Wars, I sensibly gave up on it after Episode 1.

Even more eye rolling is just how much praise and credit Hardy got for the lamest lack of acting and dialog roll I've ever seen him play. He has shown so much more talent in other rolls that don't get any were near as much recognition if any.
But I still liked the new Mad Max even it it was more like Marvel style. Enjoyable nonsense.
 
This was so much better than that Par Lap movie. Mad Max was dead to me after version 2. Tina Turner? Soundtrack? Get ******..

 
but the new one throws some colorfull words. Confacimus! Shlanger! Smeg! um, cant remember many more but funny reading the character names in the credits.
 
How ******* lazy teenage kids are these days!! My daughter turns 15 on the 24th but won’t walk to her friends house and home again who lives about 700m away... Gave the old “when I was your age” tale (which is actually true though!) that when I was her age I used to walk about 3-4kms to my mates house just go for a fish down the river or ride the motorbikes etc. Pisses me off the most that the missus caves in to it all and chauffeurs her around.

Maybe it’s just a ******* female thing??!!

700m! Shiiiiit.

I hear you. A mate & I used to ride out bikes 7km across Toowoomba from Harristown to the range shopping centre up a big bloody hill just to look in the hobby shop at **** we couldn’t afford. I wonder what would have happened to me if I’d have asked for a lift there...

Mate in that 1400m round trip get on the web & buy yourself a home brew related treat & take the edge off.
 
Ahhh... back in the good old days. 12km to school on a pushy for us (single speed), at -6 degrees in winter. By the time we got to school, if we had just showered - our hair was covered in ice. No helmets of course.

The old man reckoned he was driving the tractor by the age of 8, had his two front teeth knocked out by the hand crank kicking back. and a wrist broken. Reckoned he never stayed home from school when sick because the farm work was harder than going to school anyway.
