My phone making me unlock it and click OK when I want to turn the volume up.

 

     

  1. Don't tell me what I can and can't do, I'm a grown up
  2. You don't know the level of the recording or stream I'm listening to so you can't know if it's bad for me or not.




Did Eric Clapton really think she looked wonderful...or was it after the 15th outfit she tried on and he just wanted to get to the party and get a drink?

Another annoyance we can thank Europe for.

Being reminded constantly that any money we may have in our account is only there temporarily. 

 

And the price of a bathroom renovation. Outrageous.

I can relate. Having a shower replaced is going to cost us nearly 9K. Shouldn't have been necessary at all.

And even when you pay the outrageous amount, you can't be certain they will do the work correctly, or even do it at all. If this government, which I am not in favour of at all, can do anything about this major issue, I might consider softening my attitude towards them a little.

We had a large funeral procession in my neighbourhood when a young gang member was killed.  Hundreds and hundreds of bikes, cars doing burnouts, all other traffic stopped.  The streets were lined with onlookers.  Did a tour of the neighbourhood streets before heading up to the funeral home.  Was a huge spectacle.

 

The police sent out hundreds of infringement notices to them that week for things like failing to indicate etc   Lol.

For all you young nippers, you used to get extra pay for "non-normal hours" /sarcasm off

 

 

 

 

Must have been back in the days of "child benefit", "housing corp loans", "bursaries", and other mythical government benefits...

Our shower more or less fell through the floor. We had to have the floor replaced, so we also had to have the shower, vanity and bath replaced. 

 

Not a lot of change from $25k for a budget bathroom that is NOT large or luxurious.

The whole reason we have to replace the shower is due to poor workmanship unfortunately. 

 

I am sure the Government will run to fix this issue so you can downgrade them from hate hate hate to hate hate :)

Easy there, I don't hate anyone. We live in a democracy, and this government is the one a majority chose. Even majorities can experience errors of judgement!

What annoys me?  Seeing numerous threads here in OT being used for a political whinge or (attempted) sarcasm.  You've got your own whole topic over there ->





Did Eric Clapton really think she looked wonderful...or was it after the 15th outfit she tried on and he just wanted to get to the party and get a drink?
