wow!

aussie tv throwing their productions away, great! as i listen to the merrick and rosso [and kate ritchie] podcast nearly every day i noticed a damn fine tv-series about aussie crime in the 80ies 'underbelly a tale of the two cities'[correct me if i'm wrong, please bob!] as one of the radio announcers [kate ritchie that is] plays a minor role in it. so once the usual torrent/ rapidshare sites announced the second episode someone posted a link to the original channel nine homepage as it offers the whole first episode in great quality [avi, 1,39gb] for free.

i'm glad i do not have to wait for lame german tv-stations to get hold of this gem.

p.s.: i'm quite bemused as to my opinion the pictures shows the sydney skyline and the series takes place in melbourne [bob, might you help me?]

skate for peace / afghanistan

german newspaper 'die sueddeutsche zeitung' reports about an australian skateboarding tourist who started a skatecamp for children in kabul. it's frequented also by girls, quite uncommon for that regio. now he is looking for gifts.... there are only 9 boards/decks right now.

german skateshop titus supports this great idea for a cupple of months with 'skateistan'
