Right a little late but better than never.

Went down to Christchurch for the pizza evening and decided to make a weekend of it so went Friday - Sunday and boy did I enjoy it!

The hotel So was pretty funky, even though for some reason we ended up having six people in it multiple times, and those rooms are not made for 6! The mood lighting switch in the bathroom is just funny and the lack of wifi ( thanks Chris) was a bit of a pain but hey.

On the Saturday we heade (read the entire post)...



Strange Itunes payment

, posted: 9-Jul-2008 21:31

So, was just looking at my credit card statement online tonight and I came across this:

02 Jul 04 Jul Itunes Nz 2 Nsw Au 0.02
I have no idea what this is for, as the last time I topped up my account was at least a month ago... So it wouldn't have been to make sure the card was actually legit or something like that, as I wasn't trying to buy anything from them

The amount is so small that I'm not going to do a charge back, but it still had me wondering.

Dominos Pizza's new Delivery Policy

, posted: 25-May-2008 18:28

Yes... its a domino's complaint again...

I just went to order some delivered pizza's from domino's, and was informed that if I wanted to pay by credit card I would have to pay an extra dollar because it is done by mobile units now. Yes it's only a dollar but I would not pay it! I don't think that I should be charged more just because they have decided to use mobile units, good on them for trying something new, but I will not pay more for it.

Now I must add one other thing, (read the entire post)...

The arrogance of the male species...

Right... well I feel that since I begun a blog I really am expected to at least blog more than once so here goes, my second blog.

As we all now know I work at Dick Smith and today I was discussing with my workmate the brands of lcd tv's. He was only really thinking about what we had in store but I told him if he was really serious go buy a samsung. Straight away another workmate chirped in saying why would he do that when sony are definitely the best.

My reply was a well in (read the entire post)...
