I found Meredith's to be too fussy, i think I prefer simpler fare such as the always reliable Prego or Andiamo.

Re: Delicious, I unsuccessfully tried to post this review on DineOut back in late January, (I believe Mr Chunn was already the owner by then).
What?! $29 for a pasta dish, and extra for salad. This is suburban café fare, not Ponsonby fine dining! Delicious has an arrogance problem. The waiter and the guy on the till are just plain rude. Not once did we receive any warmth, just smirking rudeness! We were informed that the licence finished at 9PM so we should order now if we want another drink. Excuse me? What kind of licence is that? Pathetic! $29 for a main but you can only order drinks before 9PM! Sheesh. So after ordering another glass in advance, 20 mins later it still hadn't arrived. A terse apology was given, after lying that he was waiting for me to finish my glass. I told the waiter, I finished ages ago, then he changed his tune to, Oh, it slipped my mind. So why lie then? When leaving the guy at the till asked if everything was OK? I replied that in fact I found the dish to be over-sized and over-priced. He looked at me with a tight smirk on his face as if to imply, "What the f*ck would you know?" I have to say that unless the Delicious crew get their heads out of their asses, they will go under. I will certainly not recommend that place to anyone, nor will my shadow darken their door frame again. Ever! Terrible place.

3D = crap for people who wear glasses...
BEOWULF 3D at the iMax was pretty awesome full colour 3D and the glasses fit over the top of mine.

Can anyone recommend a <$200 Freeview HD box?

I find that Whittakers Almond Gold and a nice NZ Pinot Noir is a wicked combination. The sweet alkalinity of the chocolate & almonds balances the relatively acidic fruit of the pinot. Works for me.
Also interesting to note that Whittakers is the only brand of NZ made chocolate that guarantees not to be using any GE content. Cadbury's cannot say that.

That's so weird, I was just reading a tutorial called THROWN DRINK... it's for 3DS MAX and explains how to animate a drink thrown from a glass using Particle Flow and Blobmesh surfaces.

Re: "hard-case cabin culture"...
I just read the fine print on my internet booking with Pacifier Blue... it says this...SECURITY MESSAGE
Pacific Blue takes jokes about safety and security seriously. Federal legislation provides significant penalties, including fines and imprisonment,
for those persons convicted of making threats against aviation, even if they are made as a joke or a hoax. In addition to any action law
enforcement agencies may take against you as a result of such threats, Pacific Blue also reserves the right to seek recovery of any financial loss
suffered as a direct or indirect result of any joke or hoax threats. -
<quote>can someone tell the F-ing IRB in the future [1] to ensure that they sell host broadcaster rights to a network who actually has one or two directors who know how to shoot Rugby? Instead of the glut of f-ing soccer directors we've been getting in France?
If you felt like you couldn't really see what was happening in the game, blame the directors. Their wide shots were too wide (and held too long), and their closer midshot was too close. Great framing for a soccer match, miserable framing for rugby/<quote>I agree. More mid shots, less extreme close-ups (CU) and super-wides. Although there were some amazing ground level long lens views of the ball's position inside a ruck occasionally, and I don't mind the occesional sky-cam view either. Uh, nor do I mind the glimpses of the decorated fans, nor the jolies femmes CU's either!
