Couple of dim sims and a chiko roll...

But its also the example A that tanking doesn't get you anywhere

I was in a truckstop in Alice Springs one day and had paid for my petrol and was waiting for some food when I picked up a picture magazine to look at boobs while I waited. Anyway Home Girl of the week was from Alice Springs and when my eyes made my their way from the chassis to the head I thought "my god she looks familiar" I lowered the magazine and was staring straight at the chick and she was just standing there staring back at me holding my dim sims. I was actually a little uncomfortable when she said "if you buy it I can autograph it for you?" I declined as my dimmys were probably getting cold.

In hindsight I probably should grossly exaggerate that story to include a tryst in the toilet or something so I can finally get a letter printed in Penthouse readers forum.

When asked "What would you think if someone from your hometown seen this" she replied something like "It gives me an adrenalin rush, knowing that people might see this, especially my cousin!"

I have been on the phone to Telstra billing call centre for the past 2 hours because I paid for the AFL Livepass thingy with my credit card in March, and now I am being billed for it on my phone bill. The poor Indians are passing the phone around and the woman is now upset, because she is telling me that I have subscribed to Livepass and a service called afllive inapp which doesn't exist. apparently she states I can watch live games via my windows computer. I told her I wish I could but it's illegal in Australia. Still waiting on the phone while she checks this

Brisbane currently have a 1.7% chance of not taking the next five #1 picks.

God these Indians. They keep telling me I have been billed for a subscription for afl inapp. I told them to google it...it doesn't exist. I paid for Livepass, 'no you have 2 subscriptions' they telling me over and over again please kill me

On a serious note, good luck mate

I have been talking to 4 different call center people. One is a woman....she is supposed to be the resident expert on AFL Livepass problems. She knows nothing. I think I made her cry

 

[Honeyboy Wilson]

Latest season of Beavis & Butt-head was the best season. It's like that show was made for reality TV.

I feel your pain.
I work for a US company, based in Dubai but my salary, corporate card etc are all arranged through our Australian branch
Received a new HSBC card the other day - took 2 hours to activate the card through the Filipino call centre who couldn't deal with the fact that I had a UAE phone number.......

Disagree, those cartoons are straight parodies.

The genius of Beavis & Butt-head lies within the fact that although the characters themselves were parodies of the 90s burnout culture, it was showing that their taking everything at face value, simplistic views on the world around them offered more insight and depth than most of the supposed "cultured" people that overthink everything. They stripped back everything to make us look at how ridiculous some of the shit we do / say / watch is.

In a way, they were like a crude, cartoon version of Forrest Gump.

She's gone. The new bloke said he was going to turn off one of the subscriptions. I told him to be very very careful with the one he chose, because when the weekend comes and I go to watch my game on my tablet and it says I can't because I'm not subscribed, I'm going to be very very angry and I'm going to find out who did this to me....He has now put me on hold again

"I will find you... and... you know... be quite cross."

Weighted lotteries are a horrible idea. They don't remove the incentive for tanking (it's not as cut and dry as the current system but the incentive to finish lower is definitely still there), and it punishes teams which are just genuinely shit. Nobody would suggest that Brisbane are tanking this year, for example. Worst of both worlds IMO.

And I'm still on the phone...waiting....3 hours....campaigners...

Today I read an article about student protests which called the protesters 'campaigners' and let out an involuntary laugh. There's so much potential for comedy here.

also, lol @ this list of GP's at my local practise ....

Health must be one of the most ethnically diverse work areas in Australia. A few years ago I was in a public hospital watching 4 doctors talking. None was of the same ethnicity. None of them spoke English as their primary language. Communication was working fine - but it shouldn't have been.

Finally, got put through to yet another woman, that's the 5th person, Who has resolved the issue...apparently...I told her that I had better be able to see The Pear...live...on...my..tablet. I am now scared that they have successfully unsubscribed my Live Pass account. 3 hours and 35 minutes. And I got through to them straight away, after about 20 seconds, so that's over 3 hours quality call center time, all because Telstra have not yet trained their call centers about the AFL app
