Is it only me... every bladdy morning I have to pick out the currants and sultanas from my muesli, they just ruin it for me. It's bad enough eating this food five times a week... but having to work so hard for it.
Why can't they stick them in a separate little bag to give you the option?
This weekend I'm gonna bribe the daughter to go through the entire new bag of muesli and pick them all out!
I do that with the peanuts..
Well it was thoroughly unpleasant on the roads today, Storm Ciara in the process of dumping up to 10cm of rain on my journey. Still it was reassuring that i still had an Audi or Merc sat 30cm off the back end of my car taking green precautions to save fuel by slip streaming.
My MiL. Nice woman but drives me nuts with here uneducated ways. She's never been to school and can't read and write. She believes in the occult and will go down that line instead of seeking professional/educated help.
Today my missus has gotta take her to a temple. Not the local Wat but one further away. Why? Because she's not long been to the local one and the monks didn't give her a good palm reading result. Someone then told her about a monk who gave good results at a Wat some distance away. So she's off there. Sometimes I feel like kicking Thais up the arse.
So now you know how it feels when people are spammed with Youtube conspiracy theories then.Originally Posted by Pragmatic

Well after getting convinced to go for an Indian last night after a cheeky few pops and it seems i am not the only one who's been playing tunes on the big white telephone - it appears from comms this morning we could have formed a barbershop quartet. Next time i am insisting with stick with the tried and trusted one we've been going to for nearly 30 years.

Telstra are fcuking bandits
as I have a couple of trips to a backwater of north western queensland which has but one cellphone tower - telstra - to service 100+ people which means the speeds are quite low , I purchased a pre paid sim for $30 AUD which gave me 20gig for 28 days which I rationalised as the cost of working in the back of beyond.
because my 28 days was due to expire on the 24th of Feb and I was in the vicinity of a telstra shop I went in and topped up my card for another 30 AUD and 28 days and was surprised when the sales chick said that she had topped it up and my expiry was 14th March. WTF ? oh , the new 28 days starts when you top up - dirty cnuts
I have no intention to give the fcukers my credit card details for auto top up as I know when I cancel it they will mistakenly^^^my hairy arse charge me for another month and it will be a trial to get refunded
mobile phone charges in australia are the worst i have encountered in my travels
and yeah fcuk it I will add another straw to their pile -
first this
Telstra - Make a complaint - Contact us
then this

That happens everywhere nowadays doesn't it? With topping up phone validity too.
All the better for when you use up all your quota, you can reload straight away rather than being stuck on 364 kbs for the rest of the month like the fuckin UK used to do.
Your 30 Aussie pesos a Month for 20gb is only a tad higher than the UK. Which aint bad considering the much lesser demand, sheer size of the fuckin place and putting that shit up in the fuckin heat with all the snakes,spiders and bushfires![]()
Moan . . .
Next - weekly - visit to the dentist this afternoon. Placement of the crown itself . . . at least no more digging around in root canals
I have an optus pre-paid sim and it was not like that - it added on the the original expiry date
though now I have set it up to 10 AUD and 500meg for 21 days with my credit card so it auto renews
My moan- Malaysian drivers.
I was in traffic the other day when the road suddenly changes from 2 lanes going ahead into one that goes either left or straight on and the traffic lights are right upon me and I can't get in the right lane.
So I moved as close to the car on the right as I could, leaving ample space for cars behind me to get past, when this big Indian fucker in an old bright green pick up, decides he's not gonna squeeze through and holds his hand on his horn for about 30 seconds, then finally decides to drive through the gap with his hand still on the horn and gives me the bird, so I gave it him back for him to phlegm all down my passenger window.
Filthy bastard.
The Thai are far better road sharers![]()
My moan today is that I logged in to find that I won the lottery at the weekend:
It's a moan because $29 is precisely $1 less than what the ticket cost me.
All good though, turns out I somehow had another ticket in a draw I don't really understand:

Another marketing scam is rolling over unused data; in my case it would leave me with over 100gb from the 4 months since I signed up, and though it makes no difference to me as I don't need it, turns out rollovers apply only to unused data from the previous month and everything before is gone.
They done me up again!
This morning I went to Tops Central for my fortnightly 2x2kg dark American rye, they didn't have any, sold out, but the elderly Chinese assistant (we have history) said another batch will arrive at c6pm, so we agreed I'll return at 7-8 and she'll have 2 loaves, 8 quarters, sliced and bagged. I even showed her my pics of sliced quarters and sliced quarters bagged, courtesy of Luigi the problem solver, and fwiw she nodded and smiled which was some consolation against the embarrassment of having to do that.
Arrived 7.30, no sign of her, pile of bags on the back counter, another assistant recognised and waved me over with 8 sealed bags ready for pickup, and a smile that said see we can get it right, eventually.
Can't imagine what made me suspicious...are they sliced? Blank look of disappointment, nope.
Next time, I shall be there at 10 when they open and personally supervise this complicated process!
