LTIH, that mobile phone plans are still really expensive even though there is an expanding market. Shouldn't it be cheaper now? :tsk:

Do you have any idea how much Telstra is spending on severance notices? Not to mention the cost of memos notifying on slashing to essential services......be great fun they haven't gone up.

I also don't get people who maintain they don't watch TV but then reel off a list of shows they've downloaded and movies they've watched. How the hell is that any different? I didn't watch TV for 3 or so years and when I say that I mean I didn't actually watch anything. No TV, no movies, no nothing. Not because I was elitist or wanted to say I didn't watch TV, I was just never home. Being a young fella I was either working, riding or partying. Home was for showers and sleep.
I downloaded a couple of very obscure British comedies a couple of years ago, only because I knew they would be hard to find anywhere else. Watched them on my iPhone, had a chuckle, went back to listening to podcasts. Nothing elitist about it, I can do shit while listening, and I'm not stuck having to watch something and concentrate on it to follow the story. I hear there are some great shows on, but I'm not missing out on anything I'll regret on my deathbed.
I don't prevent my 5 and 8yo from watching. Occasionally, they will flick on iview on the iPad and watch a few kids shows, but they quickly get bored with it and go play outside. We are on 40 acres of bush with tracks everywhere, cubby huts, 6' tall bracken to play in, sandpit, bikes....hell, they sat drawing and colouring for a couple of hours today. They go to some friends houses, and every room has a tv, and everyone is in a room alone watching something different....pretty sure my kids feel sorry for them....

Tell me about it. The only ones o could find were the girl's 'good' sewing ones, which I've been warned off using on pain of death.

I resorted to a pizza cutter.

Dear god!!! Don't get caught trying to cut a brake line with the sewing scissors. She may use my ratchet as a hammer, my hammer as a screw driver, and my screwdriver as a chisel..... But for the love of cliff, not the sewing scissors :fear::fear:

The internet is far less subliminal and unashamedly forces advertising down your throat ... especially in and around torrent search sites. Sports betting, online casinos, dating sites, russian brides, local girls etc etc etc
There's advertising on the Internet?

The thing I hate is having a little fall of your bike breaking your wrist & being in plaster for 6 weeks (3 weeks to go) & it hasn't rained for the past 3 weeks......... :crazy:

LTIH Advertising

mmm hmmm... ad block plus is the shit,, although it doesnt stop 100% of the ads, im subjected to far less advertisements of any kind, & i can deal with non-subliminal ads on the internet, i actually appreciate non-subliminal ads.. its the cheeky fucks that feel the need to attack the viewer on a sub-conscious level that I hate.. i'm just glad i'm not weak minded like 95% of earths population who follow all the latest "trends" blindly like the cattle they are as they have no idea they are being led to slaughter, nor do i feel bad for those too stupid & ignorant to wake up to all the corporate bullshit going in the world.

also I rarely use torrents to downlow shit, nor do i use any of the other things you mentioned at all. but ad blockers are one of the best inventions on the internet so I can manage just fine with the few ads I do get subjected to, but thanks for your concern :p

Touch my sewing or hairdressing scissors and you'll find them where the sun don't shine. My OH, however, has appropriated my entire tool kit apart from my beading pliers and eyebrow tweezers :( can never find a tape measure or a spanner when I need one!!

Kids in my house.

A friend of ours is staying the weekend with her 18 month old and fark me it's stressful. It's not so much that he's a bad kid but my house is not kid friendly. I tried to kid proof it a little before she came over but it's still, "Please get away from the rack of $10k bikes, don't run towards my giant TV with a big spoon in your hand, no don't drool all over my suede couch, no don't play with that expensive carbon race wheel. . ." Arrgghhh. Lucky he's cute.

What kind of yuppie has a suede couch? Pretty much gave up on having anything nice 2 weeks after our first kid was born.

Good thing you know that it's not the kid, it's you :)

i raised four on country small village acreage, we had nothing we weren't prepared for kids, dogs, drought or flood to destroy. Used to freak my yuppie city-dwelling social-climbing sisters out no end :)

that would be a LTIL :)
