I'm thinking of getting an iPhone and upgrading parts of my computer.

[Mentalist]

is this another case of government giving you all money to deal with the crisis?

[MTS]

Damn right it is. $900 each.

[Zanth13]

oh cool,

the usa gave me 600 bucks last year for no reason...

of course i put it against some of my dept, which was not the use they really wanted it used on...

now I have no dept though so i win

[Coco with marshmallows]

financially speaking, using it to wipe out debt is good too.

no debt = no interest or minimum repayments = more spending money per month.

[Ain't_It_Just_]

Mappo! So good to tap to you again!

Well, I'm not old enough to qualify, but I'm sure I can use my silver tongue to convince Mumsy dearest to lend me some for...oh, I don't know, NoK?

True,

but I still like to think I won

Not old enough AIJ? I don't think it matters. All you need is a tax liability which means you had to have earnt above the first tax threshold, which is like...$6000 or so? That's like a bit under $150 a week. And you need to have lodged a tax return for '07-'08 by June 30. Easy peesy lemon squeezy. Although if you're like 16 now then you probably wouldn't have been working back then lol.

Good luck convincing "Mumsy dearest" to give up her Rudd money haha everyone I know (including parents) are gonna spend that money as soon as it pops up in their accounts. If that doesn't work, maybe you could sell your silver tongue? It obviously wouldn't be very useful otherwise

[Mentalist]

AIJ's still in school, lol

man, free money would be great right now--I graduate and that means student loan payments...

[lobo the wolfman]

I'm using the money to send myself back to tafe., so i can get a better job and more money. Cheers K-Rudd.

Also the Gardens of the moon graphic novel would be nice too...................

[Dr Trouble]

Getting a new PC, with previous savings.

Case: Coolermaster CM Storm Sniper
Power Supply: Coolermaster Ultimate UCP 900w PSU
CPU: Intel Core i7 OVERCLOCKED to 3.6Ghz 8Mb w/ V10 CPU COOLER
Motherboard: Gigabyte EX58-UD5 SLI / Crossfire Motherboard

Hard Drive 1: 500Gb 16Mb SATA II NCQ (Samsung/Western Digital)
RAID Array: RAID 5 Mirroring/Striping

It should be bitching.

[lobo the wolfman]

@other, your not going Blue ray?

[Dr Trouble]

I got a ps3 so I don't really need a blu-ray player. Plus it's a little extra, and I'm already $600 over budget.

Dude, even if I could apply for a job, I wouldn't. As some great man once said somewhere, laziness trumps all emotions.
I will not, however, sell my silver tongue. It was a gift. From your mum/yourgirlfriend/your sister/other female relative still young enough to be attractive.

You make it sound like it's a bad thing. It is, as Tehol Beddict once said (another great man, not our friendly resident female), school is replete with stern tutors and youthful crushes. Not to mention $1 cookies.

-AIJ, is feeling quite awesome despite no moneez

[Centzon Totochtin]

I'm paying back my parents money they lent me for furniture and moving. Stupid moneys!

[Assail]

Off topic, but since it's a large congregation of Aussies here and I am Aussie myself, I wanted to ask how the general feeling for Rudd is?

I was a huge Howard fan but missed out on seeing what Rudd could pull out of his ass as I moved to the States.

Or PM it to me because I don't want to hijack the thread lol.

[MTS]

Rudd's doing alright policy-wise I guess, but he's gotten a bit of a PR problem in recent months. He's sworn on national television, flipped out at an air hostess and has pretty much been out of the country since he took office. But he'll remain popular regardless, because Turnbull in office...? *shudders*

Oh no shit. What was the deal with the air hostess?

Furthermore, hows the economy holding up? I heard the housing market was in some deep shit a couple months back. In QLD atleast.

[Corporal Nobbs]

All politicians are bastards but if he keeps giving me free money, I'll vote for him.
Also, I'm buying some new golf clubs with my 900.

I knew there was a reason I'd never seen Little Johnny and the Yearded One together in the same room!
