When you're on the couch and the Mrs gets a phone call, she then waves at you to turn the TV down. Well no, it's a ****ing mobile, it's called that for a reason, bugger off into the next room.

I'm not going to listen to your conversation while I'm busy watching American Pickers bisch.

Your Mrs watches American Pickers with you?

Respect...
 
You know what grinds my gears? I'll tell you what. Incompetent, slow f#$ken drivers and D/Hs that tailgate and do the opposite. :mad:

  • When a speed signs says 80km/h, you do 80 or close to it, and not 60 just because you think that you're in a residential area you D/Hs. The speed signs are there for a reason you D/Hs.
  • If it's raining, you don't have to drop your speed by 35km/h and cause havoc on the highway. Sensible drivers would drop 5-10km/h in the rain but still go with everyone else. Your slow driving is what causes accidents you D/Hs!
  • If there's roadworks, you do the speed they say. You don't have to drop another 10km/h off and pretty much go forward at a turtles pace. D/Hs. :thumbsdown:
  • If I am doing the speed limit, get the f@#k off my tail you D/H! I will go slower you piece of shit. :mad:
  • P platters who think they can speed and proceed to tailgate more experienced drivers. GTFO you campaigners! :mad:
  • D/Hs who drive 4WDs in a suburban area and who think that they can do whatever the f@#k they like. :mad:

Statutory warranty provisions should provide you with protection. TV's should last longer than 18 months.

Seriously google statutory warranty laws in Australia.

I rang the company I bought it from and they said the same, that I need to call Panasonic and state my statutory warranty legal rights and they have to fix it as it hasn't been a reasonable amount of time before it died.
So those extended warranties you pay for only save you the hassle of having some putz come to your house and fix it and possibly steal your stuff, they would swap it straght up for a newie if you got the warranty..meh.
Cheers for the heads up saved me $ :thumbsu:(the wife was already checking out new tv's :mad:)

Why do some campaigners sit on 70 in a 60 zone but the second they hit a 40 school zone they do 30? :confused: Or they go flying past you doing 20k over the limit then slam their brakes on for an orange light like a good law abiding citizen:drunk:
I also hate those D/H's behind you that try to see how close they can just miss your rear bumper as you turn off a street or a roundabout.

Just drop it and claim it on accidental damage home and contents.

What really grinds my gears is rising insurance premiums. Every year they go up. Every frekkn year.

Is it going up because you keep dropping Tv's?

I'd add tigers, leopards and jaguars in there too.

Maybe even ligers.

They're the worst. Not ligers, they're the best.

Slow walkers.

Back in the day I was of the opinion that the Tigers and Lions should merge and call themselves the Ligers.
Which is a completely impotent animal.

You don't actually need to call panasonic. My understanding is that, under the law you can take it back to the place you purchased it from and return it for a replacement.
