We should apply that criterion to Australian "celebrities".
We'd be left with Phar Lap and Bradman.

 

[Partridge]

Im allergic to all that cold n flu stuff, so i have to "man up" whether I like it or not when I'm sick.

Good work Shell. Show us men how to do it.

Samsung.

Bought a Galaxy S3 probably 10 months ago with a 2 year warranty. Sat on the phone about a month in and cracked the screen, my own fault, have put up with it because phone is usable. About a month ago the headphone jack only started playing out of one side (i.e. no matter what headphones I'd put in, only one would work) and then the SIM card reader packed it in a week later and stopped reading any SIM that got put in.

Rang up Samsung, asked me to send it in for repair - did so 3 weeks ago. Get a call a week later that the screen crack voids the entire warranty, which is BS and although might be correct as per their T&Cs, would not get past any fair trading or consumer protection laws. Told them that, someone agreed, and they said they'd fix the SIM & headphone issue and leave the screen as is. Fine.

Hear nothing for two weeks. Chase it up late last week, they tell me that the SIM card reader is unrepairable so they will replace the phone with a refurb. No issues. Told me it would take 2-3 weeks to arrive. Annoying, but I can deal with that.

Get a call today from someone else to tell me that the condition report has been received by Samsung and that even though the screen was cracked, they would fix that as goodwill. Brought up "umm that's not really the issue, the SIM & headphone jack is" - "oh that's not listed anywhere on the reports I see. let me make a phone call".

End result is that as per the last story I'm told, no one's actually looked at the SIM & headphone issues, they've seen the screen has a crack and sat on it for 3 weeks without looking at it. The latest guy I spoke to will follow up for me and be in touch tomorrow apparently with an update.

FFS. Almost makes me want to go Apple. What a shambles of a company

My Note shat itself after only 4 months, took nearly 2 months to get it back for a cut and dry case and they ended up replacing the battery and the mainboard...

Thought the ending might be that they smashed the screen of the refurb for you.

Apple aren't much better, they make their things out of shit materials and have tightened warranty to the point where the guy looking at it has to break it himself before they replace.

Have you seem their shares? Don't jump on Apple now.

Mattingly! I thought I told you to shave those sideburns!

 

[crazyman27]

Only just finding out that Qi episodes actually go for 45 minutes, so the ones shown on ABC are edited! Like I needed anymore reasons to watch TV online!

Probably not.

 

[Punchy Bassett]

Born again Vegans, the amount of them popping up on my Facebook feed is getting ridiculous. Mostly guys as well obviously trying to impress or get into someones pants. Quite militant about it as well.

One such update and this is on the very light scale: "Perfect morning for a soy hot chocolate! No animal abuse involved!"

How is that militant?

As I said thats on the very very light scale, the constant blood and guts pictures are not.

 

[Gough]

I went out with a vegetarian for a while. Didn't really work, I'm far too unreconstructed to do with out red meat.

 

[Caesar]

For one reason or another I seem to gravitate towards girls that are vegetarian. They are usually more the quiet 'personal choice' type though.

Only really know one particularly evangelical veggo. She's married to one of my mates and makes a big song and dance about having to watch someone eat a steak that is cooked anything less than medium-well. Of course, this means that we just order it more often.

Why do people give a flying foccacia what 13 year old girls think?

 

[Dagless]

People who need to validate their own taste in music by defending their favourite bands.

The Beatles suck (It goes without saying that that is my opinion). Does it actually effect your ability to enjoy The Beatles?
