I just snapped this photo out side Bazza's office building he is infact "going off line."

Do not blaspheme! :x Mel Gibson is not an Australian. Not anymore, IMNSHO. If you want good Aussie actors, look at Hugh Jackman or Eric Bana.


Anyway, I am glad you got something done by calling Samaritans, violentcloud. :)


That is a low blow to both Mel Gibson, and to Bazza. First, Rocketansky isn't comparable to a worker going postal (not unless his boss just happens to keep lecturing him about how "we're going to give them back their heroes!"), and insulting Bazza with such a claim that he is going that violently nutty is quite rude.

Finally, Hugh Jackman is such an overused actor. What about Steve Bisely? (aka, The Goose)

Here's my advice: Some of them seem to be very understanding towards people who aren't good on the phone, others are kinda pushy. If you get through to someone you don't like talking to, hang up, wait a minute or two, then call again. You should get a different person. I spoke to a guy called Nathan who was incredibly understanding - he waited through 5 minutes of silence while I built up the courage to start talking.
