Dear Bigpond.

So I get that your system crippled my ADSL by throttling it back to less than dialup speed even though ive only used 2 GB out of 100 I have contracted for. I am sympathetic to your plight when you tell me its because Telstra and Bigpond systems cant communicate and its a software problem at your end. Here I was thinking you were the same thing, but apparently you have some sort of weird multiple personality disorder going on. Must be terrible. And of course being in telecommunications and provision of internet connectivity, I must assume software is something you have little familiarity with.

And your endless attempts to address my needs have been heartwarming to say the least. I now have an excellent introduction to understanding Philipino English after no less than 14 different members of your estimable service teams have not helped me over at least 10 hours of phone waiting during the last three weeks while all asking the same pointless inane questions over and over because they couldn't be assed reading the notes on my account.

I even didn't mind so much when those same 14 people managed to **** up the escalation of my problem several times resulting in a service team being dispatched (twice) to fix a (non-existent) problem on my phoneline, when the problem was back in your software all the time. At least it only took you three weeks to get the happy go lucky funsters of your server complex team on the case. Complex indeed. It must be complex, given you told me it will take them two months at least to fix the problem you created, by your incompetence, and you cant even be arsed sending me a note when its done. I should just check my ADSL every day and one day, hey presto, about May, it will be ok. Maybe. The suspense and surprise will be adequate recompense indeed for your inability to even do something as simple as provide a notification that you have un****ed my internet, which you yourselves ****ed. A point I think at least worth making again.

However, I hope you will at least permit me a momentary display of pique. I know I should have expected it, after all there is nothing you bunch of complete moronic jizzrags haven't ****ed up so far so I shouldn't have been surprised. But when you provided me with extra data capacity on my phone to give me some functionality after you crippled my system yourselves by your own incompetence, then told me I could whistle if I wanted it fixed in less than two months, I assumed that meant it was, oh I don't know, at least free.

So when I found that not only had you charged me for it, but twice, on my latest bill, I was a bit unimpressed. Especially when I rang your as always estimable Philipino sweatshop to have someone for the fifteenth time mispronounce "Rob" and ask me inane questions, then to be told that free means you charge me for it and when you fix my system, the one you ****ed by the way have I said that before, sometime in two months I can request a refund, I was less than thrilled.

So the large letter full of dog droppings that is about to arrive at your head orifice I mean office should be taken in the spirit of the above. Perhaps an invitation to do better if you will, or a commentary on the quality of your customer "Service".

Yours Failthfully,

A wellwisher.

I don't find it amusing (and I am a happy person deep down) when posts compare players to simply argue and you think to yourself, how the hell did they come up with that! About the only similarity is they both play for the same team.

Generally it has a lot to do with physical attributes, they either are not willing to do the research or just ignore the facts.

An example is when posters think one player deserves a chance over another and they argue this player is fourth in line and these other players are ahead of him. They then name three or four 189-192 cm players when the position is for a 178-182 cm player, playing on small forwards and providing quick counter attack and tackle pressure. I can't think of any tall player on our list that has that flexibility anymore.

Please do your research before posting, read the red sign, take five and think twice.
 
i need to vent about the placement of the sun at the match on the weekend. It was a shocking choice for those of us on the other side of the grandstand. I asked several high profile AFL official types for them to move it but they just shrugged their shoulders.

I do want to say something about the pies. They were pretty good. I regret not stuffing myself. The coffee was a little uncertain. I'm not sure that it knew that it was supposed to be coffee.

On a positive note there were several young collingwood ladies who were particularly impressive. If any of them are reading this and want to be included in my will, please send me a message.

The last quarter needed to be replayed. I had the time and I would have been happy to stay another half hour to see our team actually implement a decent level of football.

I think you will find that the rule regarding the sun is similar to the one regarding the roof at Docklands. Once a decision has been made it can not be changed during the game. The AFL would have determined what trajectory they wanted prior to the game and can't change it thereafter.
Personally I think they got a few wrong on the weekend. I prefer it when they invoke the "play under clouds" rule. But apparently sunshine makes for better TV.

Amazeballs.

I worked at Telstra for 11 years and the best thing they ever did for me was to give me a redundancy package. They wanted to **** up redundancy packages too but fortunately that question wasn't left to them to decide otherwise I probably would have got a kick in the nuts.

I had a 2 gig monthly plan for 2 years but as soon as I got T-Box - which was meant to deliver unmetered footy content - it was gobbled up in 4 days. I was advised (in World's Best Outsourcing Practice) to replace the useless article with another model - which I knew in my humours would never work - and in the meantime to upgrade my plan, just as a surety to keep receiving that fine service. Low and behold, I got a new T-Box which was as useless as the last in resolving the streaming problem, which in fact was never resolved.

As an insider I knew the only recourse was to call the Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman to get this enormous aisle mess attended to. I recommend this almost as the 1st port of call, but in fact you need to call Telstra first so that you have a problem to deliver to them. Telstra always comes through in this regard and in very quick order.

My advice is to recognise you will get shit service on an expensive package and to ditch Telstra at the first opportunity. You'll have to shop around but unless you live in the boondocks and require their coverage, source your various service from cheaper providers.

Well they need to tell the idiots like myself which way they plan to move the sun during the game. I agree with the clouds idea. It probably should have its own thread..

I dont want to be provocative but I'm always a little sceptical when someone begins a post with a statement that is clearly questionable. There have been several hundred thousand Telstra employees over the years, but I doubt any of them could state that they worked for 11 years.... maybe they could claim that they spasmodically put in some work on the first of every month or that they did some work in the lead up to a promotion but to state that they actually worked for 11 years..... well i start thinking of Roswell...
 
Another afl season for the new expansion clubs and looks like another top 5 draft pick for the suns with all there 20 injury's or tanking to get the top pick lol
God afl/suns you have made it hard for other teams who are struggling to get in top end talent as the suns should be a top 8 side.
Like they had there seconds side in pretty much and only lost by about 40 points to the crows and smashed the bears.
Look out when they are all injury free again next year with another top 5 pick on the list they don't deserve to have.

Rompingwins (aka Hamish Mcglachlan) makes me want to slash my wrists when he calls Jamie Elliott, "Billy".

Even if youre best mates, ******* call him by his last name so you dont sound like a campaigner
James Elliot thinks Romping Wins smokes man pole...
He thinks correctly.
 
Ox is killing it as a spare man so lets move him forward, Broomy can't get near it so let's sub off Seeds and cost me a fortune by 3 points, **** you Bucks.

Never bet on Collingwood games.
