Have you looked at the ABC news on twitter? I am looking at that now

Yeah. I'd have to try and turn off retweets from grand stand (better off not asking) but might be worth another crack.

I haven't been on there long( on Twitter ) So still learning I did see where someone's retweets can be turned off , so that will be handy

The ABC News site is good . . Not twitter or anything . Just its site with heaps of news .

It should be noted that at least a couple of the above are more a case of wishful thinking. Here's hoping that 2017 can mop up a bit of 2016's unfinished business.

Sting is on my wishful thinking list...

Finding it harder to find a decent news Twitter these days. Tried The Australian but they are a pay to view site like HS and I lose interest in finding the articles.

What is this Twitter thing?

I got mine fixed yday .

$480 later.

We switched ours off on Oct 4th due to a burning smell coming through the ducts. Fifty billion calls and several heatwaves later we still have no A/C. A bloke attended this morning to take away the motor once again for reconditioning. I'm quickly heading into Jack Tortence from The Shining mode around the house in the interim.

I called 15 places this morning to get someone around today for a repair. After multiple fails I managed to secure the last bloke in Melbourne without a job by bribing him with a slab of beer. Given everyone else is booked for up for a week, I assume I've secured the crappest repair man in Melbourne. He is certainly the most expensive. I reckon I'll give your $480 a serious nudge Gaso and still end up sleeping in the back yard.

Accidentally replied to Gaso.

But while I'm here. It sounds like you are doing your bit to eradicate the earth of stinking bloody flies.

It's that hot at 'toes place, that he was even advertising on Craigslist, seeking people to blow on him.

So I've just been told a need a compressor replaced, which will cost $15k and I'm better off just replacing the system for $25k. Fortunately, I'll have lots of time to wonder whether I'm being shafted while I'm not sleeping tonight.

Wait $1500 and $2500.

Buy a new one if you can afford it but put up with it until next summer so you can buy the top of the range?

Missing a zero or two.

No, really, $25,000 - i.e. more expensive than my car! I think they're planning to charge the insurance company so figure they can charge what they want.

Do you have experience in this? $25k is genuinely the quote. I think I'm getting bent over.
