Geez! I hate that!

[poppa smurf]

this bloody obahn (spelling) tunnel into Adelaide, 160 million smackers to save 1 - 3 minutes travel time.

at the time when 54,000 homes can't afford power, the closing of the repat, reduction of pensioner concessions, closing of hospital services.

bloody hell these mongrel halfwits really need a wake up call.

I really hate politicians.

and I hate setting my trousers alight whilst at the top of a ladder, welding up a truss overhead.......thats not much fun.

Momma Smurf help pat out the fire gently or just beat it with a wet blanket

Nanna Smurf just shook her head and called me an idiot.......no sense of humour that old girl.

Found out this morning that a guy I went to high school with died in a motorcycle accident last week...that's two guys I went to school with that have died in motorbike crashes in the last year. Life can be a karnt sometimes!

I'm after a loan statement. Hmmm not available from Netbank?

Give them a call:

"Can't seem to find my loan statements, need an electronic copy."

Bank: "It's because you need your wifes authorisation".

"Ummm, you send me the statement in my name by mail, I can log in and move money around between accounts as I please"

Bank: "Yes, I know that"

"So why do I need the authorisation?.. Seems ridiculous!"

Bank: "Those are the rules.. We can send it to you by email however."

"Ok then, send it. So can call any time and ask for the electronic statement emailed to me, but if I want it available at any time online I need permission?"

Bank: "Yep, correct"...

Makes Purrrrfect sense.......

If I wasn't so busy I'd get on 2GB and see what the public think of this dopey policy...

Current statement: "If I elect to pay the minimum each month I will pay off the closing balance in about 111 years, 5 months".

That may be achievable if I racked up the bill on the day I was born...

The previous one said 131 years..... C'mon - at least give me a date I could work with here!

On the back of my current statement:


127 years....

They need to add this to the 'Minimum Payment Warning":

"If you pay the minimum you will be passing on your CC debt to your children... and their children!"

This really should be looked into actually - the 'minimum' is obviously not high enough.

Which Bank?????

drivers side window mech. broke again yesterday, 30 days after I installed a"new one"......last mech I'll buy from 'cars are us'.

[Bushbasher]

Hey Poppa, I'd be checking the window alignment and condition of the Bailey channels as clearly there's a binding problem if you keep breaking the mechanism.

all checked and in good working condition, simply a malfunction of the new electric winder mech, that was the first time the drivers side one had broken and the new mech has given up the ghost now.

I've sent an email to the supplier of the broken one, chasing a refund (non genuine, so I guess I get what I paid for) I heard something break and fly off when I wound the window up, I'll find out what when I get the new one and pull it apart again.

I've ordered a genuine Ford one from an online supplier at triple the cost so hopefully this one lasts a bit longer.

I've had all the others break and replaced with genuine, so obviously a bad batch or something when my vehicle was built.

Looks like someone has a rather high balance on their credit card..........

Which gets paid off in FULL every month. That was a small one, only $26 grand, the month before was $31k I think?

Actually, I have never paid 1c in interest in the 15 years I have had my credit card.

Banks hate customers like me, don't worry, I play their game very well.

Building a house at the moment and am handling all the payments myself.

1/4 million points racked up in 7 months

If they take credit card without a fee then why not?

[Uncle Niceguy]

people who, no matter how many times you try NEVER answer the phone.

GEEZ I HATE THAT.

[supershifty]

I've recently started a part time job. My job is "back of house" but I occasionally have to greet customers to make them feel welcome and direct them to a sales consultant.

It really ****** me off when I offer them a bright "hello, how can I help you?" and they look straight through me as I'm insignificant and continue on their way without any regard or acknowledgment for my greeting,

Most people are great, some folk have their nose's stuffed so far up their ***.

Geez, I hate that.

Cheers!

[poppa smurf]

got my new electric window mechanism, left the house for 20 bloody minutes and that was when Toll decided to deliver it, had to wait til 4 o'clock then go in and pick it up, bloody typical.

anyhow!, took the door apart and found the other mech's cable had simply come off the drum and wrapped itself around the drum shaft.

nothing broken, nothing out of alignment......replaced the unit and boxed the other mech back up and got my price for shipping.......$55 for freight???.

I bought the whole original, non genuine, mech for $75 with free delivery??????????

never mind, all working as it should be now.

went to the quack to get him to have a look see at the inner workings........what a waste of time that was, sign his payment form first before he even said hello.

wasn't interested at all in me or my health........what happened to the good old quacks of old, grumpy old sods who told you what was wrong and stood by their decision even if it was incorrect........AND where the hell has the dreaded MATRON gone.

all bloody kids now with fake smiles and a sooky "dear" this and "love" that.

did I mention I really, really hate getting old.

Someone decided to steal my 3 month old(new) hose and hose real over night. You know the one that get used for the afternoon detailing session.

Replaced for $115 this afternoon

I really HATE that....

I hate it when the cat p1sses off a brown snake and it comes under the car after me.

Gold. :-) my mental picture of this was hilarious!

[TRAU BLAU]

I'm glad I'm getting old cos if I wasn't I'd be dead!

[poppa smurf]

we have a moose loose in the hoose,.....and apparently it's MY fault.

how come it's my fault that a mouse has disobeyed my sublimely discreet, cunningly planned, guaranteed never to fail strategy which involves a note, strategically placed in the offending cupboard, clearly stating that

"ALL rodents, biting and annoying insects, including cockroaches, are to vacate the premises henceforth and never return or repercussions will ensue!"

up til now this fiendishly devious, cunningly executed plan has worked a treat......I fail to see where the downfall has come about.

unless we have a dyslexic mouse!......in which case I am out of options.

I have drawn a dangerous looking mouse trap on the rear of the little sign in an effort to show this squatter that I am serious.......hopefully that will alleviate his non reading side and put forward the picture of impending doom if his deviant ways are not rectified henceforth.

job well done, it's back to the shed for me.

[Vincenzo]

Good luck with that Poppa. I've been chasing a rat that entered my unit and killed my Budgie (Prue) but the Possums in the ceiling have beat me to it and belt the living hell out of the rat anytime it turn up in the ceiling - no longer comes into the unit.

Cheers Vincenzo - wanna borrow a possum or two?

[poppa smurf]

no thanks, had a rat run amok in the being and chew up a couple of wires in our air-con back here a while ago.

don't want them buggers back.

[lilmattie]

I can kill a rat, no qualms at all. But I feel sorry for mice.. They're so little and their floppy lil ears..

[Yellow_Festiva]

Why has MFF removed the little download arrow? When something finished downloading you could click an arrow in the top RH corner of the screen that gave you options to open direct or open the download folder and have the file pre-selected. Now, when I download a file I need to go and find it myself. Why bloody remove it?

Is it something I have turned off and can turn back on again???

[Bushbasher]

Was watching a bit of the footy yesterday, Crows v Collingwood, and in the last quarter the Crows took their foot off the accelerator with still 10 minutes to go and started wasting time kicking the ball around playing possession football instead of playing attacking football and running the game out. It ended up costing them at least 3-4 goals more than it might have.

RUN THE GAME OUT ya peanuts!!

Geez I hate that.

[Yellow_Festiva]

Dopes advertising large quantities of the same item on ebay with the listing price as what they want per unit. Not an auction as such, but more like a classified listing.

"Buy 1 or the lot"...

But lets keep our contact details out of the listing shall we???

Sent 2 messages now to get contact details and no reply, but the listing has expired with no bids and has just been re-listed for another 10 days...

When you open several tabs at once and one has an add or video clip that starts playing and you look through all the tabs scrolling up and down to find the clip to stop it.

Bought some stainless braided brake lines over 6 months ago and finally got around to fitting them...

Except the rubber grommets/ sleeve that are part of the line don't line up anywhere they are supposed too and nothing is gonna fix it .. Hello cable ties :/

Not how I like to do things!

[poppa smurf]

just about to come home and I find the cruise control has decided it won't be joining us on our trip......gonna be a long one with my foot to the throttle all the time, hello sore legs!
