could be a proxy if you're logging in from work
unlikely though, as it probably would have just blocked the entire domain

nothing here either
maybe try disabling ad block scripts?

One more thing that I should have mentioned earlier, in both of my experiences I found that the K340 needed to be driven hard (i.e. louder) to sound complete to my ears.
I agree with this, I had a stock pair also, and although overall not my cup of tea, they were much better when cranked. Sounded a bit dull at lower listening volumes.

the SR-003 uses a regular pro bias stax plug yeah? well you could go to a BHSE if your budget permits...

My favourite place for Turkish cuisine is in Fairfield called Beytis. Al Sofra in Auburn comes a close second.
They make awesome Adana and chicken shish kebabs. With a simple side salad of marinated tomato and onion and flat turkish bread.
Bloody good!

What about stingrays? Too soon, too soon?

don't worry, i fight crocodiles with my bare hands
kangaroos are a walk in the park for me

Good to hear that you and Staxen are ok, Birgir.
If you'd like a safe place to keep them Australia is geographically an ideal location.
No faults that I know of, and basically smack in the centre of the tectonic plate.

I believe if you declare it as being sent back for repairs it will also be exempt.
At least in this part of the world it does.

I just ate at Thanh Binh for lunch in Cabramatta.
Today I chose the sugar cane skewered prawn cocktails on vermicelli and salad.
Sprinkled lightly with some fish sauce for dressing and jasmine tea to wash it down.

Yeah, I'm a short black drinker. No sugar, no milk.

I can't stand the Vietnamese coffee + condensed milk
*shudders*

that looks awesome, do you still wear them the right way around?
it seems as if the drivers are no longer pointing towards the ears with this mod

I love eating at Thanh Binh in Cabramatta. Although a little pricier than most other Vietnamese restaurants in the area the quality of food is consistent and portions are fairly large. One gripe, their Pho is very average, but I rarely see people there for Pho, there's many more dedicated Pho restaurants for that.
If the restaurant is worth it, then I'll wait. For example, to hit up Pepe's on a friday night usually means a good 1.5-2 hour wait. But so worth it.
There's a restaurant called Big Johns near the beaches, it's known for its gigantic serving portions. On a Friday/Saturday night the queue will be around the block. To be honest the food isn't even that great but it's quite a popular location as it's open until the wee hours of the morning.
Here's a size comparison of their regular chicken caesar salad and an old Nokia 6610:

Nearly an hour? Is that not long down there?
One restaurant I go to occasionally: it regularly has a 3 hour wait. We usually call ahead, and only have to wait about an hour and a half tops, though.
to be honest i wouldn't ever wait that long for food. i'd book or go when it's less busy.
thing with yum cha is it's supposed to be a fairly quick affair, you don't really sit around. once you're finished you vacate your table for someone else.

I believe it's just for Sennheiser Europe.
Also, I wouldn't add too much weight to it.
Sennheiser in Australia recommend the Lehmann Black Cube Linear, I consider it no coincidence that the Australian distributors for Sennheiser and Lehmann are the same company.
I don't know what it's like in other parts of the world.

A brand spankin' new 100% genuine leather briefcase from the 1960s for $31
I guess you could say it's NOS even.

One of my friends who is Chinese took me to Yum Cha yesterday at a restaurant in Rhodes. It's called the Pheonix restaurant.
No photos as it was a bit of a spur of the moment thing. But we took the half hour drive up the motorway just so he could show me what all the fuss was all about.
Well I can well and truly say that the trip was worth it.
Between 2 people we spent just under $60 on all sorts of chicken feet, steamed buns, steamed dumplings, steamed rice rolls, sticky gluteneous chicken rice and miscellaneous gizzards and to finish it off we got custard egg tarts. oh and who could forget the chrysanthemum and jasmine tea!
I was very pleased with the place, it's quite big and was packed and I could see why! Apparently on weekends the queue is so long and yet people will wait nearly an hour for a seat.
Definitely want to go back there and see what their dinner menu is like... lobster anyone?

Samsung i450
surprisingly responsive in menus and navigation, IME phones are getting slower, but this is a nice step up from my ageing Nokia 6131. not to mention the buttons are decently big to be of use
ooh! and slide it one way, it's a phone, slide it the other way and it's an mp3 player. it also has a 3.5mm jack
-
Leather strap and a (hopefully) less wiggly cable for my bass... plus some picks just for foolin' around. So boring.
\is that what you sold all your AKGs for?!

Hu-Dat restaurant.
It's fantastic Vietnamese and Chinese food. My favorite dish is the Bun Chi Gio.
It's owned by Dat Nugen's (Dallas Cowboys) parents.
HAHA that's such an awesome name. Viets around here aren't westernised enough yet to think of clever english pins.

Not a local place but the most memorable fish and chips I had (possibly the best) was in Western Australia, in Fremantle.
Boy, Freo (as it is affectionately known to locals) is a great place as far as seafood and beer goes.
Cicerellos have been making fish and chips for over 100 years and it shows.
Just down the road from Cicerellos is the Little Creatures Brewery. Their Original Amber Ale is one of my favourite bottled beers and is even better from the tap. The beer is brewed and bottled there and there is also a bar and restaurant area the atmosphere is very dance club like, and when we were there it was packed and it was a weekday!
The result of money well spent at the Little Creatures Brewery

Best value pub steak was @ a bar attached to the El Toro hotel.
$5 for a decent rump with chips. It's no longer available (probably making a loss) and is now $10 and even at that price worth the money.
However, of the "cheap steaks" (IMO anything under $20) the best was at the Milano Restaurant in at the Lansvale Hotel and Resort.
$13 on a Tuesday evening you could get a 400gram cut of rib eye on the bone with beer battered chips and salad with a choice of mushroom, pepper or diane sauce. One of the better steaks I've had period, let alone for a budget steak:
I wrote a full review of the place here soon after it opened here: Milano Italian Restaurant

was it the sheer size of it or what?
