I thought they were going to do away with Sideshow Bob in tonights episode. It would have been the last new Simpsons episode i would have ever watched.
As it stands i may not watch any more anyway. This current season on NZ TV is just the lowest i've ever seen this show.

Nice, although by that do you mean you played football and won, or your team played football and won? Either way, I'm guessing your team isn't the Melb Demons.

Oh yeah, I go there fairly often and it's really nice. Lots of spiced lentils (there are really good meat dishes too), chili and turmeric coloured vegetables. And you eat it all with your hands, which is awesome.
I drank a couple of African beers, too.

You still watch new episodes of the Simpsons?
I didn't know you were such a masochist, Ian.
major_panic said:at Peterrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr's latest thread. He must really be dying to talk about Bono's voice, but seeing as how Bono hasn't done much recently he's falling back on random songs...
I'm almost afraid to say this, but not true. I went on a scenic steam railway from ... gawd, what was it called... Queenstown to Straughan (or however you spell that)... the South West Wilderness railway or something. (Well, we stopped halfway to Straughan and went back again, but still.)Axver said:TRAINS ARE EVEEERYYYYWHEEEEERRRE.

Hmmm sounds interesting. Not too far off from some of the Indian food I've seen, either, although I'm not sure if Indians know that vegetables exist sometimes.

Which episode was it? I saw an utterly dire Sideshow Bob episode recently myself.

My team won. After the shitstorm of the past few days it was nice to have something go my way, first time i've ever had tears in my eyes at a sporting event - when the team scored the try that sealed the game.

It had this thing in the middle of the track to help it up and down steep slopes... can't remember what that's called either.
There are pictures somewhere, but they're at home and aren't scanned.

Bob faked his death in an attempt to kill Bart.
Actually, now that i think about it the Italy Bob episode wasn't much either.
Oh right. Well, I guess there's not enough population there to support it...?Axver said:But in terms of their revenue railway, they are so, so fucked. They have no passenger trains AT ALL - the only state or territory to lack them. Hobart has no commuter rail. And the freight network is on the brink of collapse. It's terrible. And when it does collapse (as seems inevitable), Tasmanians are going to wonder why so many semis are bashing their roads to pieces ...
Axver said:
Not sure if that's the one I saw. All I remember is Bob had the perfect chance to kill Bart but decides he can't and sings some song about getting used to the sight of Bart's face or some such shit. It was HORRIBLE.

And as for bashed up roads, HAH. Now they can see what life's like for the rest of us

I forgot about that one.
Yeah, that was DIRE.

I think that was the worst Simpsons episode I have ever seen. Oh non-existent God, that ending was so fucking dumb.

If the alternative is American Idol i'll put up with it.
Is there anything it does work for?Axver said:Privatisation just does NOT work for railways.
