I like Argerich's 'The Legendary 1965 Recording' and also her 'Debut Recital'. Particularly the Liszt stuff on the debut.

I couldn't get into them until after listening to the live stuff, and now I still prefer the live stuff. Europe '72 is good. I also quite like Live/Dead for the longer jammy-type sound. And then, of course, they're probably the most well-known band in the world for allowing people to distribute...

Why would you got to a financial adviser if you're somewhat competent in regards to this stuff? (as demonstrated by handling your own retirement stuff) I'd say skip the financial planner and put money in some index funds (incredibly generic advice..), especially since most active money...

It's a bit of an unfair comparison really, one album vs. a whole catalouge. Like the choice between Piper by itself and DSoTM, The Wall, WYWH, etc. is not a hard choice at all really. That being said I rate Piper pretty highly among Floyd albums as it's a lot of fun to listen to, and well...

Lol, it's not even NCEA yet dude, just chill out. You don't need to do exceptionally well on these exams. You just need to do well enough so you're allowed to do next year. Although, actually, I think some of my Level 1 classes were streamed (English and math) so it might be good to do well in...

Wow, what is this the 1950's? LOL. I had a cellphone when I was 13/14 (5-6 years ago) and it was sort of common back then. Nowadays I'd be surprised if someone didn't have a cellphone at that age. It is just incredibly common. Now I'm not sure about the effects of this and I know there's...

I'd go for the BMW. The new benz logo looks as ugly as anything, I prefer the more refined little stick up emblem from other models. Also, not sure if this is true or not but it's something that's been in my head for years now, and that is that BMWs own Mercs at the low price range, and vice...

Ouch, that really sucks blackjack is only slightly worse than a coin flip. (houses edge is like 0.5%, depending on the rules) :/

Looks like September will be a good month then, the return of The Office and Curb Your Enthusiasm!

I think we take a lot of the stuff in NZ for granted. Plus, I'm not sure about the others here from NZ but I haven't really done many of the quintessential NZ touristy things. Were you studying at Vic?

Should be able to get some snowboarding in (well I think it will be still snow season next month?). There was a thread about NZ a few months back and IIRC it had some fairly decent posts

Hmm wonder what my posts/day are 0.07posts / day... so how long will it take for me to get to Headphoneus Supremeus? :P

My money's on him being an eccentric millionaire.

Not really into it but have had a few days where I just felt like looking at pictures of them. This is a larger forum btw -- http://www.skyscrapercity.com/

My beckham equiv. would be bottom right, although mine is slightly more unruley at the moment.

You realise you're allowed to edit wikipedia, right? Just cause no one has made it unbiased doesn't mean no one can,
