The users i have on ignore, yes there is more than one, aren't people who are hypocrites or abusive etc. (they are funny) i just find that if i was already skipping over someones posts because they usually something incredibly boring/duplicated from another site then why not just have them not show up at all

What made me happy today? Free tickets to Geelong v Hawthorn. Love footy, love free stuff, if only it was the Pies! But alas, I will be at a music festival near Korrumburra and won't even know if the Pies won til I get back!

nah, I don't ignore anyone either, never have. It's painfull sometimes but I find it character building :)

I also have a fear of posting something identical to someone I have on ignore without ever realising. How silly would that look? Like walking down the street with everyone laughing behind your back. Paranoid? Me? Nah :lol:

It's more what made me happy/nervous/excited/apprehensive/scared/daunted.... Going to the 2nd audition tonight for Who Wants to be a Millionaire... Never applied for anything like this before, thought I'd give it a shot this time 'round and lo & behold, I'm up to stage 2.

God help me. I don't want to sit in front of all those cameras and Eddie, and the audience all staring at me. Maybe I'll just not go to the audition. Uh uh. Deep breath. Imagine them all naked....

I do that anyway. :)

In all seriousness, good luck... it's something I always wanted to do when I was a kid, but probably never will. I'll make sure to watch if you get on! :)

smile, show all your teeth and tell everyone that you're a collingwood supporter, watch eddie drop off his chair. better still ask him where your membership is.

^^^^ Thanks guys.

The result?? I'm so dumb :(

But, they've completely changed the format of the show, so there's now going to be 6 people in seats, one starts and goes til they either pass or get a question wrong. If they pass (you get one "pass" and that is now the only 'lifeline'), they go to the last seat and whoever's in the first one goes up to the 'hotseat'. The show can't have 2 passes in a row, so, if say I passed, the next person would have to answer it, if it's wrong it's goodbye, off you go with nothing. So bascially, you could sit there for the whole show and get nothing. Also the only 'safe' level now is $1000 and whoever's in the hot seat when the show finishes gets the money, the others left get nothing. So wasn't too impressed with the whole concept, will be interesting to see how it goes on tv.

Some questions? How many cm in diameter is an average cd? (don't cheat) either 12 15 18 or 21??

Who was the first female house of representatives speaker in 1986? (forgot the choices).

What does an opthalmologist specialise in? Stomach Eyes Ears or Feet?

Where was Nicole Kidman born? LA Hawaii Australia London

What sport was Roy Cazaly in? Aussie rules Rugby Soccer Tennis?

I got most of those ones right. Some were pretty tough, composers, botanical names of plants etc :shock:

But anyway, since they've changed it, I thought it looked crap.

And David, you can go on imagining everyone naked, luckily I didn't have to - there were all sorts of people there, let me tell you!!
