Multanovas: Are they the answer?

Australia: the HEAVYWEIGHT champion of the world
Posted by Mix 94.5 Friday 20 June, 2008 10:41 AM
It's official. Australia is officially the most overweight nation in the world. Reports suggest that 26% of the Australian population (which is almost 4 million people) are now classified obese. That makes us fatter than the US or the UK, which may surprise many out there?
Did you go to the shops yesterday?
Posted by Mix 94.5 Monday 16 June, 2008 02:06 PM
A few of the suburban shops were open on Sunday 15th June, and reports suggest that (at Karrinyup at least), there was pandemonium.

Have your say about the Whole Lotta Countdowns. We'd love to hear from you about any of the Countdowns you've heard so far. Better yet, if you have an idea for a Countdown we could do in the future, by all means let us know.
How was Elton John?
Posted by Mix 94.5 Friday 9 May, 2008 03:26 PM
For those of you lucky enough to catch the legend that is Elton John, we'd love to hear what you thought of the concert?
Write the West Coast banner for Juddy
Posted by Mix 94.5 Thursday 1 May, 2008 09:24 AM
"We Miss You Juddy"
Is that what the West Coast banner should read this Friday night?

Posted by Mix 94.5 Wednesday 30 April, 2008 11:47 AM
With their new album Viva La Vida or Death And All His Friends on the way, those Coldplay kids are getting generous and giving you their first single for free.
Is Daniel getting a fair deal?
Posted by Mix 94.5 Monday 28 April, 2008 07:20 AM
Further to the three weeks accepted by Daniel Kerr for that "incident" on Saturday night involving Scott West, questions are being asked about the treatment of Daniel Kerr on the footy field.
Bazza blames the ex
Posted by Mix 94.5 Thursday 24 April, 2008 11:03 AM
Reports suggest that the reason behind the "brain fade" that Barry Hall suffered in the midst of the knockout blow on Brent Staker, was allegedly due to an heated argument Barry Hall had with his ex-girlfriend some hours before the game.
Seven match ban for Hall
Posted by Mix 94.5 Monday 14 April, 2008 10:44 AM
The AFL tribunal gave Sydney Swans hardman Barry Hall a seven match ban for his king-hit to West Coast Eagle Brent Staker. Is this a fair punishment?

Daylight Saving... Your Say?
Posted by Mix 94.5 Wednesday 26 March, 2008 12:45 PM
Daylight saving is almost over for another year. Whilst it seems that many of you have enjoyed the extra hour of sunlight in the day, there are many calls as well to scrap Daylight Savings altogether.
Petrol prices
Posted by Mix 94.5 Monday 17 March, 2008 08:42 AM
Well, Easter is almost here and surprise surprise, the petrol prices are going up.Whilst we at Mix won't even begin to try and understand the volatility and complications surrounding world oil prices, we tend to get a little cynical about the usual price hike before a major holiday, where many people go on big trips and use up more petrol than usual.
Shopping hours: Should they be extended to 7 days?
Posted by Mix 94.5 Friday 14 March, 2008 07:58 PM

Posted by Mix 94.5 Wednesday 23 January, 2008 02:36 AM
In the wake of Heath Ledger's shock death, news reports showing interview footage with him suggest that he had a hate-hate relationship with the paparazzi that stalked him (and other celebrities) continually.

The debate surrounding whether Sunday trading hours should be relaxed in Perth has reared its ugly head again, news suggesting that most retailers want to open on Sunday, to deal with the Christmas rush and give consumers the choice of doing their shopping on Sunday.
Your Favourite 2007 TV Show?
Posted by Stephen Sunderland Monday 10 December, 2007 11:20 AM
With the official ratings season coming to an end much analysing goes on about what worked and what didn’t. This annoys me sometimes because if a show doesn’t rate it’s deemed to be a failure which we know isn’t true. Often it just hasn’t appealed to the masses that are needed to attract advertisers because after all television is a business.
Shrek The Third
Posted by Stephen Sunderland Friday 7 December, 2007 01:28 PM
It’s always a problem to maintain a standard in sequels but when you’ve had two very successful films it seems even more difficult. I really enjoyed the first two Shrek films but found the third one flat.
Your Favourite Seinfeld Moment?
Posted by Joss Wednesday 5 December, 2007 11:09 AM
It was the show about nothing that was really about something and we want to know what your favourite Seinfeld moment was?
Beowulf: A Legend Brought To Life!
Posted by Stephen Sunderland Tuesday 4 December, 2007 06:49 AM
A few years ago Robert Zemeckis directed a film called The Polar Express. The story suited his new technique perfectly. It was called performance capture where real actors perform their roles with a myriad of digital sensors attached to their faces and bodies. The performance is then fed into a computer and the result is an animated feature like no other. It’s not cartoony at all.
Ben Cousins: Has It Gone Too Far?
Posted by Mix 94.5 Wednesday 28 November, 2007 10:05 AM
Channel 9's "A Current Affair" ran a story Monday night on Ben Cousins, according to the story he is up to some old tricks, partying on the Gold Coast. They then followed it up Tuesday night with supposedly "new" footage of Ben Cousins warranting yet another story on the troubled ex-Eagle.
Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End on DVD
Posted by Stephen Sunderland Wednesday 28 November, 2007 08:15 AM
Film makers usually get ideas from three main sources, novels, plays and life experience although life is probably where authors get the ideas for novels and plays! Occasionally someone will take an eight minute poem and make The Man from Snowy River or a theme park ride and make a trilogy that grosses over $2.5 billion dollars worldwide.
A New Channel & New Show On Foxtel
Posted by Stephen Sunderland Wednesday 28 November, 2007 08:12 AM
I was fortunate to live in one of the first two suburbs in Perth that ever had Foxtel connected and have had it ever since. I’m addicted to it and love being able to IQ my favourite program

Michael Hutchence
Posted by Mix 94.5 Thursday 22 November, 2007 07:12 AM
It's difficult to believe, but Thursday 22nd November 2007 marks the ten year anniversary of the death of former INXS front man Michael Hutchence.
Jimmy Smits Back on TV
Posted by Stephen Sunderland Wednesday 21 November, 2007 03:05 PM
Jimmy Smits is back on our TV screens and I think that’s a good thing. I can remember his appearance from early in his television career. First there LA Law where he played Victor Sifuentes and without fail my wife wpu;ld make the same comment every week “Now there’s a man who knows how to wear a suit!” He later starred in NYPB Blue for four seasons and seemed to raise the bar just a little. In my opinion the show was always good. And most recently in one of my favourite shows ever he played presidential candidate Matt Santos in The West Wing.
The Heartbreak Kid
Posted by Stephen Sunderland Wednesday 21 November, 2007 07:10 AM
I think Ben Stiller is an acquired taste and just when I think he’s won me over along comes a movie that doesn’t quite deliver. That’s The Heartbreak Kid. It’s a remake of the 1972 film, which I can remember, and starred Cybil Shepherd and Charles Grodin – who’s he - well he last starred in the Beethoven movies, the ones about the St Bernard dog not the composer!
The Latest Harry Potter On DVD
Posted by Stephen Sunderland Monday 19 November, 2007 02:15 PM
All five of the Harry Potter films are in the 50 All time highest grossing films list. Not that surprising when you know the books have sold over 300 million copies around the world and even if J.K Rowling made only a $1 per book she’s a very wealthy lady. Of course she makes more than that!
Summer TV: Is It That Bad?
Posted by Stephen Sunderland Friday 16 November, 2007 09:35 AM
For many years we would see endless repeats of programs over summer but for the last years it seems summer has been a good time to try out new programs or if you’re lucky enough to be in Channel 7’s position run the series you never had time for throughout the year.
Ben Cousins: New Revelations
Posted by Mix 94.5 Thursday 15 November, 2007 04:02 PM
In an amazing turnaround, reports suggest that the police will withdraw the charges laid against against Ben Cousins last month.
Elizabeth: The Golden Age
Posted by Stephen Sunderland Thursday 15 November, 2007 06:38 AM
It’s hard to take your eyes off Cate Blanchett in Elizabeth: The Golden Age. Her performance is once again compelling. Having played Elizabeth 10 years earlier Blanchett was reluctant to revisit the role but I’m glad she did.
Knocked Up
Posted by Stephen Sunderland Tuesday 13 November, 2007 11:24 AM
Have you ever noticed that out of a successful TV series there seems to be one of the cast that makes a successful transition to the big screen? George Clooney, for example, left ER and has never looked back.
