Maybe they need to privatise Australia post rather than everything else
I ordered a parcel on November 23. Paid a little extra for express delivery.

Company is based and manufactures about 20minutes from where I live. December 10 parcel still has not arrived...

I'm not sure how well Australia Post are doing but it may be phased out altogether. Canada Post are in the process of getting rid of their home delivery service. It's happening with a few national post services around the world. Private carriers are getting more popular.

i enjoy watching nfl and nba but they are kinda ruined for me by the showboating and general floggery of the players. the over the top dancing after a touch down, the stare downs after a dunk or a block, the overly aggressive/chest thumping floggery FFS you are just playing a sport, stop acting like you've single handedly defeated ISIS

The way they carry on over sacks in the NFL is ridic. It's all about adding zeroes to the contracts
True. Lots more showmanship in the sport than others. Don't mind it though. Seems like it just wouldn't suit the game if they were just quiet and went back in line.

While we are being disgruntled at our postal service I'll have a go too. Although I don't believe it to be auspost's fault.

Ordered something off eBay, express post. Third item via express in the last 20 days. Item was sent very promptly but that's where the express ends. The accompanying email to say it had been sent also told me express post takes three days to city centre and 6! days to more rural areas. Funny that the previous two items came within 2 days then. :rolleyes:

I worked for Australia Post for a while, I had nothing to do with the postal service though, I worked in the head office finance department.

Whenever I told people I worked for Australia Post they always assumed I was a postie or worked at an Australia Post outlet.

Womens Big Bash cricket.

It should be called the Big Block as none of them can hit a six for shit, they struggle just to hit it into the outfield.

They should just stick to netball and the kitchen.
Hope you know someone in the fire brigade for when the feminist lesbian men hating bitches of butch and their gay do gooder boyfriends come after you,if its any consolation I totally agree with you,I could do with a new house

If you ask me, girls should stick to girls sports like hot oil wrestling, foxy boxing and such and such.

You obviously weren't watching earlier when one of them hit the ball out of the ground.

I seriously don't get the push for women to get into mens sports like AFL and cricket on a professional level. it's political correctness gone mad.

Do you see men trying to push for a professional mens netball league? No you don't because it's bloody ridiculous but doesn't have the PC support.

Men and women are different genders and are more suited to different sports and activities, why can't we just keep it that way rather than this PC madness.

Probably because there isn't a large demand for men to play netball professionally because they have such a large access to other sports.

It has nothing to do with political correctness.
