Like many people i work away 28 days on 28 daysoff in my case in another country and was woundering how other people pass the time in the evenings while away at work or on long shifts? for me DVD'S and music ( im in a dry camp so my fav pass times off limits) its funny how you start liking really b grade movies sad i know.

In that case, go and see District 9. It's a very similar flavour. Made by the same guy (Peter Jackson). But instead of being in New Zealand it's based in South Africa. There's a few classic lines in it such as,..
"When dealing with aliens, try to be polite, but firm. And always remember that a smile is cheaper than a bullet. "

Half the amusement in Bad Taste was the Kiwi accents.
"Geez They come to bits easy." while ripping the head off an alien.
Bad taste has a sort of cult following now. The movie was originally made for about $17,000 but without a sound track. It cost about another 17K to put a sound track on it after it was finished. Best value ever!

If thats the movie where they are all walking around like zombies in the fields, I would class that as z grade.

If it is the same movie, I remember it made my mate get up half way through then run to say hi to the porcelain bowl. That's over 20 years ago

we have a wet mess... that helps pass the time a couple of nights over the swing. Other wise movies and TV episodes on the laptop and sport (have generally 1 or 2 games of ultimate fisbee a swing and something else (touch footy or something. Then is also calling people at home and then there is my favourite which I never seem to get enough of... sleep.

Running on empty, ah now that's a classic (but dodgy) Aussie film if I ever knew one.

I still remember those shorts, but always resisted the urge to get a set...

Risk assesment :-O
I go to work for a break !!!!!
The work never stops.
Unfortunatly i have no choice like many other people ..If you don't do this in your "spare time" The water table is dropping and im sinking new well liners on my days off so i dont get pump cavitation.
Which brings us to the point that the water table is slowly lowering with the increasing amount of water being drawn because of residential government activity.(urban sprawl)This porcedure will become more prevalent to rural useres who depend on groundwater for drinking and reticulation..
Ill but you a carton of beer if you help me.... no takers yet!!!!

Yeah I like looking at cars too. Here is a link to the yankee equivalent. It needs a zip code and I think 91400 is for Frisco. Lots of cheap and interesting stuff in L.A.
