YOU KNOW YOU ARE LIVING IN 2006 when...

And another thing. Did you know that if you enter more than 140 characters in an SMS text, you get charged for a second message? So with these new phones that have dictionaries that encourage you to type in the full word, instead of abbreviating it, they are encouraging people to send longer texts and therefore spend more money. That sux. I h8 fone companies.

When the nutritionist on ACA was asked for an opinion she said "Parents are taken in by the brightly coloured packaging of kids drinks"

What a patronising b1tch, at that point I decided not to watch this rubbish any longer.

rant on pause.

One of the worst has got to be the "free mobile" plan. Who are they kidding they're making so much money out of the plan you're paying for it a couple of times over!!

Is this going to be the Friday thread? I hope so, it's shaping up well...

Bit of a toss up, Iain's 'What is this' thread has us all guessing, him included.

I hate SMS almost as much a MSN.

I do like birthdays, HB Gumby.

.... and another thing. It seems that, due to a heavy infestation of python poo in NSW, possums are fleeing westward.

So not only do we poor Sandgropers have to worry about nutritional toxicity from chocolate and snaggers, bloody cane toads flooding across the border near Fitzroy Crossing and rising petrol prices; now we have to brace ouselves for a python-poo promulgated invasion of p!ssed-off possums!

It's enough to drive you to drink!

What's that? Another glass of red? I don't mind if I do! (Hic! ...Wha...?)

[Iain]

As it's only about 9.30am when posted I trust the red wine will be on your weaties
For nutritional value of course

You're not turning into a nutritional toxicologist are you, Iain? The red wine was consumed as an accompaniment to a healthy breakfast of sausages and chips, followed by Tim-Tams and Freddoes. Yum! (Lip-smacking and slurping noises).

You forgot to have b!tch about the prices of Bananas putting up the CPI & turning Zed into a froot loop.

Quite right! Consider this bit to be a b!tch about the prices of Bananas putting up the CPI. As to Zed's fruit-loopness, how can you tell?

Col the Politically Incorrect

......when a TV program called A Current Affair has no current affairs content just trumped up stories sensationalised for effect. HH.

Please accept my sincerest apologies on behalf of myself and my nation for poluting your air ways with the used oats, known in polite circles as "A Current Affair".

It's not yours, it's ours, but you may have it if you wish.
What is the formula for ACA 1% fact, 80% misguided opinion (put forward as fact), 4% pure BS and the rest is ads, which are probably more entertaining (Ray Martin with his bloody glued on smile:mad: )
Mr Driver, I am not being critical of your brekky, just concerned for your well being, you should know that snags and chips should be accompanied by a good Chardonnay

THAT is not always true...

[silentC]

Here's a good one. The wife had a call from a Telstra person earlier this week. "We have analysed your phone usage and you would be better off with plan X". OK, so she agrees to change it - at an extra cost of $10 per month. Then she goes away and thinks about it and realises that it's actually going to cost us more, so she rings up to cancel the change. She is told that the change has already gone through and we will have to pay a penalty of $15 to change back. The woman looks at what the change was and agrees that it was the wrong plan to put us on, and that the person who rang in the first place didn't know what she was talking about. However, it's all automatic and we can't put it back to the old plan without incurring the fee because it's "in the computer".

So, I'm sorry Zed, but phone companies are effing useless. And I hate them. Yes, I know hate is a strong word, but at the moment that is how I feel.
