Just watched karate kid.
What a great movie. 7/10 - 4/10 for being original but being in china helped it.
Wil Smiths kid is a star. Can he act or what? Not sure I've sen a better child actor.

Will Ferrell in Anchorman is without doubt the funniest performance I have ever seen!!! Well and truely my favourite comedy of all time! The last 30 mins is a bit dull, but before that, pure gold!

Incorrect.

 

[Shell]

I guess not

Lol, sorry I had no idea what you were talking about...

Get to the police station,

L: "Hi, I'd like to enquire about getting a police clearance."
P: "Yes, you have to go to an Australia Post outlet."
L: "Really?"
P: "Yes, really."
L: *facepalm*

LMFAO- you're joking right. DAM IT wish i had seen that, LOL hope the cops laughed at you LOL. Of course you need to go to the Post Office to do that- you go there to do Working with Children checks, um.. passports... all that stuff. HAHA.

Easy Shell, just turn the hose on them and see if they can sing

Passports and all the other stuff I knew about, Police clearances I didn't know.

Hahah well you should have asked.


In other news... i just drove thru a ****ing big ass swarm of bees!!!!! I had the bloody window down too!!!!!! They gave me a ****ing heart attack...

Or a preivew when the locusts get here.

 

[Ljp86]

I did. Parents and the guy who I'll be working for said all I had to do was go to the local cop shop.

Only in Australia do you need to get a police clearance from the post office.

If you had asked in here, I would have set you straight.

Did you need an appointment???? WWCC you need a ****ing appointment, it can be a pain. in. the. ARSE.

Man... i even had the wrong home address on my drivers license, i literally had to go to VIC Roads (luckily wasnt too far from the post office) get it changed, then go back to the post office.

Nah, no appointment. Had to line-up, get the right form, fill it out at the back of the shop, line-up again and then sign and date it. They then send it off and I am supposed to get something in the mail within 7 to 10 days.

Not sure when I'll be starting now, looking likely that it'll be the middle of next week but might be the week after depending on how long this clearance takes to get to me.

 

[Shell]

Well at least you didnt need an appointment then.

How much did it cost out of curiousity??? And was it a state or federal check???

 

[hamG]

Passports and all the other stuff I knew about, Police clearances I didn't know.

Entirely different but related note. My brother got rolled by Bali customs over his passport yesterday. They took him to an interview room and said since his passport expires in less than 6 months (5 months 3 weeks) it would cost $500USD to get into the country. He refused and flew back home.

Nothing screams dodgey bribe like specifying US dollars.

I would not have posted this story on a public forum

He's lucky he didnt have a boogie bag and get thrown in jail.

Mate I had top secret clearance once.
Police check is a ride in the park.



edit; don't know why I posted like that, I sound like a knob.

What I meant to say is they aren't going to get much info out of the police.

A mate of mine entered Vietnam for work.
2 days later immigration came to get him.

The problem was that the vietnamese embassy had completed his visa incorrectly. His arrival and departure dates were the wrong way around.

His boss gave them US2k.

They took it.











and still kicked him out

Why'd they pull him up if his passport deoesn't expire for another half year?

Mate I had top secret clearance once.
Police check is a ride in the park.

The name's Coupe. Vinum Coupe.

ha ha.

It was weird
I was an illustrator in the army. I produced slide shows, overheads, schematics, ran an awesome dark room with stuff that was off the planet (reproduced pretty much every family photo from 50 years ago ) map reproduction, the works.

Then one day the Major walked in and said "clarkey, what clearance do you have?"

2 weeks later I am TS.
Did shit loads of maps in the dark room.

I knew what the operation was but obviously couldn't say a word.
I read loads of newspapers and there was not one mention of a problem in that country.

Incredible really, and it always makes me wonder what is going on currently that we don't know about.
The country was Namibia. It was 1989.
I left, and in 1992 (or so) it was on the news that we were now in there.
So surreal. Just knowing that was 3 years in the planning.
