Our flat has a vacant block next door (there was a vacated house there, but squatters moved in and apparently burnt it down, so it's not there any more), which doesn't really bother me all that much. Sure, it may make us more of a target for burglaries, but we've already had two break-ins, so I'm sure I would be able to handle a third. What I ( Read more... )

You know what I hate about Australian summers (well, aside from flies and all other sorts of insects, being eaten alive by the man-killing creatures that all seem to congregate in this country, 40+ Celsius (so 104+ Fahrenheit) degree days and general ickiness)? It's the fact that I will always, without a doubt, get freaking sunburnt. It's not as ( Read more... )

I'm probably way behind the times with this announcement, but I only just discovered that there next year, EA Games are going to release The Sims 3.
