MILLION DOLLAR MINUTE

Person had to answer 5 questions for $200,000
He got the first 4 right
The last question was something like this :
Is Cape Horn south of
A: Chile
B: New Zealand
C: South Africa
I got the first 4 right as well
But agreed with the guy on the answer if question 5
We both picked South Africa
The answer : Chile
South if South Africa is Cape of Good Hope , just below Cape town
Good trick question , fooled me
But it didn't co$t me $200,000

If I wanted to be pedantic I would mention that it is South of all 3 countries, it just happens to more South East or South West of NZ and Sth Africa respectively.

Bugger SP.
I've had 3 staff off today with gastro! Needless to say the rest of us have been wiping down the whole place and scrubbing our hands every 5 minutes today!
I've got a heavily pregnant wife at home so I really don't need gastro to go through the family.
I honestly can't remember a time that there was so much gastro around, outbreaks seem to be cropping up every couple of months.

Re: What's Not
Playing the waiting game at the moment. Wife is 39 weeks pregnant and bubs is still refusing to make an appearance.
Child #1 made an early appearance at 38 weeks, so we were in the mindset that #2 would do the same. I've had everything wrapped up nicely at work for a good week now ready for 3 weeks off with the new family .... and yet hear I still sit. Waiting. Just don't want to be here anymore.
Uurgh.

You left out the young and under 35's.
Watch the crime rate go through the roof, when those who lose their jobs have to wait 6 months to get the dole.

Crime rate, suicide rate, homelessness rate, agree.
Nasty.

Re: What's Not
Petrol station pricing for food and drinks.
Exorbitant prices for 1 item, discounts for 2.
Wanted to buy two 375ml Coke Zeros. $4 each!. 2 for $7.00, though. (yes, I should have gone to the supermarket and bought a giant Pepsi Max instead).
So I take two out and they tell me $8.40.
I said, hang on, 2 for $7.00.
He said, they're different sizes.
I look, one is 375 ml, one is the smaller one, somehow in the wrong spot.
I said to him - So if I take this small one back and get a big one, it's $1.40 LESS!
Yep.
Honestly.

Regardless of whether you think there was or wasn't a mess to fix, i think you'll probably agree that the CPA are not wildly left wing. Here is their take on this budget. I think you'll find that they don't think it actually fixes much at all, other than rushing back to surplus.

As to whether there was a mess or how big it was, i can point you to possibly a slightly more left wing analysis which points out that the size of any such mess is entirely dependent on which parameters are employed in budget forecasts.

Forecasts are just that - a best guess. The Rudd / Gillard governments made some wildly optimistic forecasts and then spent all the money they thought they would get. When it didn't eventuate we get left with all the spending but little of the income - the Mining Tax is a classic example. As was Gonski and the NDIS. What no-one is disputoing is that left untouched, our rate of growth of debt would be up there with the worst in the developed world.
I would much rather a government that made conservative revenue forecasts and spent accordingly then the debacle that was the last 6 years. Swannie said we would be in surplus next year, a mere 50 billion dollar error!
I think we need some structural changes but the things that need real reform - negative gearing, tax free superannuation, lack of death duties, ability to stash assets in tax free environments, over government and costly duplication of services between 9 different state and commonwealth administered bodies, the range and rate of GST - are all political suicide so no party will touch them. Sadly vested interest groups that sceam loudly when their entitlements are removed drive the process.

Re: What's Not
Listening to some AFL footballers being interviewed on tv... one in particular after the Sydney v Essendon game last night... can't remember the player..but in every questioned answered, he replied...
For example.. ....
1.. How far do you think Sydney can go this year?
Answer... Ah, i think we have a very good squad, ah time will tell, ah but i think that ah' um, we can go all the way.
2. How did you find your own performance tonight?
Answer... Ah my form could be better, ah i found the ball a bit tonight, ah um, yeah it could be better.
Just one of the many AFL players I've heard interviewed on tv who, always break or start a sentence with ah or um.
