But think of the money they've saved! ScoMo would be proud, although he might get a nasty phone call from the actor's union. ;)

On that point, I felt sorry for the graduate staff who appeared in that ad - I'm not sure their job descriptions involve acting or recorded performances, made to do something they're not qualified for.

Couple that with what looks like the most boring government department in Canberra and I reckon that even if they shelled out for Sir Lawrence Oliver, Robert De Niro, Katherine Hepburn and Martin Scorsese they still couldn't find a way to make Finance look half interesting.

Been working on a design with a Perth based consultant, kept asking "What is the project name?". "Private and confidential". "Oooook".

Get some documents today showing the design work for, "The Church of Scientology international"....I don't wanna be a part of it anymore. :lol:

Maybe if they got a clever writer to turn it into a simulation of the deer hunter people might enjoy it a bit more?

Should've told them that yes, it is always cold here, it's just because THEY turned up they brought the sunny weather with them!

Good call. Mind you, it'd only really work if that government department regulated gambling. And there was someone troubled called Nicky who worked there.

I bought a pair of running shoes whilst in Brooklyn about three years ago, and the store assistant upon discovering I was Australian asked me whether we had seasons down there.

True, but we're not on the equator. I'm sure if I had asked him what the equator was, he would've told me it's the latest action film starring Vin Diesel.

The women at work, they all bitch and moan to me about each other and then I see them pretending to be besties at other times during the day.
