Banter TRTTT Part 16 - How good are fingerless gloves

[JimmyBC]

I’m currently in Venice and it’s hotter than a kangaroos ballsack!

Must be fukcin' nice though I'd love to go there. Enjoy yourself man we need updates too.

Pretty simple. In the digital age, traditional journalism is somewhat dead. Much harder to monetise.

Print journalism, copywriting, pretty much any semi-literate asshöle can drop a few prompts into an AI-engine and have it sh¡t out 3000 words in a microsecond.

Last time I was there St Marks Square had sheet ice and we had great fun watching tourists slipping over and getting blown about

The missus has informed me that I cannot "treat myself post chemo" to a toyota tundra, saying she draws the line at that monstrocity. She did however say she would be more ok with me having a night with Angela White. Deal.

How is this for crooked.

We got a gas bill saying $300 outstanding, even though we pay money each week and usually get $0 bills as we pay in advance.

Saw in little writing that it was an estimate because they couldnt access our gas (bullshit the gate is unlocked). So we submitted a manual reading we did ourselves with photos and guess what. We are $15 in credit.

They actually tried to charge us $400 total in a bill based on an estimate when our actual bill was $100!

Our actual gas use was $24! Supply charge $79.

Having a similar issue with our provider. Our power bill jumped from $700-$800 per quarter with 5 people in the house to $1200 per quarter with 1 person there full time and the other 3 people there only half the time.

They told us it was because the previous readings were estimates so this is a 'catch up' on previous under charging.

I'm now trying to fight that charge and switch providers at the same time.

Even with fingerless gloves it's too cold for the wankshed

Soft,in more ways than one?

Similar happened to me with the estimates a couple of years back
Difference being I had let it slide for a while and ended up getting a couple hundred in credit

I saw one of these yesterday for the first time I can recall

Looked like a Monster Truck next to my little Golf

Although they are both built large !

Still on the cards

I concur with JBC that fingerless gloves are great

You should show up to the last hinkley game with a banner saying "cancer couldn't beat me and neither can hinkleys 13 years of failure"

I’ve had similar in the past and built up a big credit without realising. Can’t remember exact numbers but every ‘estimate’ was more than double our actual meter reading. Had to submit a reading every month to avoid being used as a creditor.

Angela White not available?

12 month wait I hear.

 

[Doctor Feel]

12 month wait I hear.

about the same for a landcruiser

[Dylan8]

Gas companies are always the ****in worst for sending the most rogue incorrect charges.

 

[Dylan8]

PS — I remember there was chat around kids who were super intelligent ‘wasting’ their scores/potential by pursuing it over the traditional prestige degrees like Medicine.

That's correct

Anyone worth their salt should just write a blog and go out and talk to people. That's all it is. You can basically DIY what used to be a cadetship. Wtf did I do for 3 years in university. It's hard to say.

First time I went to Venice it was the 2003 European heatwave and every day was 40c+. Unpleasant to say the least.

I had almost perfect weather apart from a biblical amount of rain that waited until I was captive on a gondola ride.
