Today I learnt that chucky isn’t very fond of The Wiggles. LOL

Can’t stand them!!! At my place when the benj was little, it was all about the hot chicks from Hi-5.

I played cricket with those guys back when they were “The Cockroaches”, then they studied teaching at uni with my ex (the benj’s Mum), which is where they came up with the idea for the Wiggles (it stated off as a uni assignment). I just read in the news about the disgraceful way they’ve just dumped the replacement guy for the original guy! Once a Cockroach, always a cockroach, it seems.

How funny! One of my sisters friends used to date one of them when they were The Cockroaches, she was in one of their film clips. Can’t remember the song… maybe the only had one hit tho? Anyway all i remember is she was standing on the stairs. LOL

And yeah i hear you it sucks what they did to Sam! But have we heard anymore details? Maybe Sam was always a stand in with the view of Greg coming back?

Nah, Greg quit, never to return (well, that’s the way it was supposed to be) - and was paid out to the tune of about 20 million bucks. Sam was announced as his permanent replacement. It just goes to show that the original members are just as dodgy as their ‘music’. Hopefully all the bad PR will bring about their downfall.

We had a Wiggles ban in our house when PP was young - it didn’t stop her knowing the songs and finding it on tv (once she worked out how to use the remote).

Pre parenthood my house mates and I used to start the day with coffee and smoke of bowl while watching Hi-5.
I saw Charlie on it’s a knockout the other week!

Soooo many options Jez!

At the moment I’m tossing up between the Quiksilver Renegade and the Billabong Matt…..

Both are available locally, are 10K/10K and have the features I’m looking for…. Leaning toward the renegade but I’m worried it might be too hot for Oz..  smirk

Tried on the ripcurl paragon jacket yestreday and it was sooooo sweet, but then I saw the price tag… $550 gulp 
I also tried on a few 2011/2012 Burton jackets and was a little meh….

Would love to try on some of the current 3CS range, but can’t find a stockist in Perth rage

Trust me when I say this anti!!!!! Any thin that ya wear wont be hot!!!!!  smirk

But in all seriousness, the 10/10 rating will be fine anywhere around the globe, and it is the insulation and materials that “quilt” the jacket that make it suit colder climates as such!!!!! ie down filled = warm as toast in the arctic!!!!!

I can personally vouch for the 3CS gear, and the wait for when ya get to NSW for the Shred will be worth the holdin period!!!!!

When ya rock up in Jindy, it will be september (the SALE season), and the choice will blow ya mind!!!!! It is the biggest gatherin of snow shops in Aus for sure!!!!!

You make an excellent point good sir…......

Was thinking of the jacket for a birthday present (in May) for myself though LOL

All the disposable cash I have at the shred is going to be channelled into a new (well actually, probably 2nd hand) board so I can retire the dinsoaur !!

Gahh now I have even more options!!! Damn you Mizu rage

yeh id avoid any down padded jackets.
My mate has an awesome down filled jacket that has been worn for half hour. It is way, way too hot for anything we have here.
It would be perfect for Antarctica!
