Why is it on some forums, that ethics and decency go right out the window the moment its trolls get bored and who then seem to get a free pass to do so (not naming said Star Wars forum as per forum rules)?
It honestly makes you get "over" posting on forums real fast.
F@#@ just found out my car could cost up to $1500 to fix:mad::mad::mad::mad:
Grr misplaced a transformer where the heck are you superion? Yep heaps to vent about here :D
Stoopid rassen frassen house and the stoopid rassen frassen builders.. with all there promishes and all their assurances and all theirs Guarentees that the house will be ready with more then enough time before my wedding to do a few post construction things (like carpet, tiles, driveway, wardrobe fit out and blinds) to day they reach the lovely number of 50 day pas the contracted completion date and they still cannot give us a date for handover...
11 days till i get married and have no where to live!!
Stupid Metricon
Sorry to hear that, I believe builders are notorious for not meeting their deadlines here in Oz.
That's terrible, time to start holding off payments till the work is complete.Quote:

Is it any wonder why Home Ownership in Australia tends to be such a harrowed experience for people, in many ways I'm kind of glad I'm a very long way of it. :mad:
(And yet, I hate that that is the case too... :()
Sharky sounds like he has a case that could make good headlines in A Current Affairs, Today Tonight etc.
Aren't the builders legally obliged to complete construction by the quoted date? Or have you agreed to some sort of T&C that has voided this? (I'm going to assume the latter)
the Contract protects the builder they can extend the deadline due to rain days or "unforseen circumstances" they claim lost time rain days on days they worked and were not effected byt the weather at all just because "they can"
it doesnt matter tho the builder had more then enough adequate time to complete the house it is just their own incompotence and poor time management that has caused the delays..
its frustrating that they can not be honest with us either...
Can't even get a job at a place I used to work at (left on good terms :) ) and getting the copy and paste rejection emails ..
What stage is the home at currently, what trade just finished and when did your slab go down?Quote:

Yes because that worked so well when thousands of PS3 owners in the country (including myself) got screwed over by Sony. That's not even going int a little publicised scandal involving the ACCC head and Woolies involving a buyout of Franklins.Quote:

The reality is that politicians only care about public opinion and re-election. Said same politicians are the ones who hire and fire the senior bureaucrats who oversee the "actual authorities" in this country.
It reminds me of what someone once said during the Howard era- "John Howard doesn't run this country; Kerry Packer does".
Facebook just disabled my 'personal' account for using a false name. I'm so not scanning an official document for 'em to reactivate it.
So long, Stalkbook!
Yeah but that doesn't change the fact that ACA and TT are trash that have shown time and time again that they don't let the facts get in the way of a "good story"Quote:

I also prefer ABC for it's airing of Question Time from both houses of Parliament, it eliminates all of the skewing spin you get from the Commercial channels.
I'm personally tired of the commercial Networks, especially Networks 9 and 7, pandering to the big end of town and executing biased agendas -Case in point is the revelation that Fortescue Group hasn't been paying company tax ever! and the absolute burying of this fact/story procured out of a recent Government Committee hearing by said networks.
I think people also forget if you go to a TT, ACA and 60 min. but everything is within the legal limits of a contract and the other party hasn't done anything wrong in the laws eyes you may be sued yourself for defamation and all that jazz :P
anyway I'm pissed off I'm not at Minecon!
Definitely, just pointing out that these days the media seems to have more influence than bureaucracy, and that bureaucracy tends to be either useless or at best compromised these days.Quote:

Why the hell do people not say Excuse me or Pardon me at the shops before they rub against you as they move at the shops its bloody annoying
because they are rude.Quote:

So you have a pedestrian crossing with two sets of parents, two strollers/prams and another two young children all walking across... this driver just drove right through us nearly taking us all out! The other father yelled out, "Excuse you!" to the driver, but of course it fell on deaf ears as his windows were up and he was speeding away. All we could do was just look at each other and shake our heads in disbelief at that driver.
The other stupid thing was, he was driving out of a carpark too... so he really shouldn't have been driving that fast and he definitely should be paying attention as exiting a carpark.
Rude and dangerous! (just charming)
Speaking of drivers they really really need to police old people more @_@
I almost get run off the road every morning by old couples
i couldn't park because two slots were occupied by a single small car - old owner.Quote:

Telemarketer: 'Oh, do you know that you can save up on your phone bills if you join up with us?'
Me: 'Dear Fine Madam, I have 2 words of the English language for you - 'F**K YOU' - *Hangs up phone*
Seconds later I get the same number calling me.
Me: 'LAALALLALALALLALALALALLALALAALALAALALA'
Telemarketer hangs up.

I think 1orion2many may take offense to that comment :pQuote:

Well the main problem is at the local shops here. it was a single one way lane....18 years ago. but now its a double lane. however so many older residents treat it like a single lane and drive in the middle XD
SkyWarp91: I normally "play" with Telemarketers when they call me (strangely enough, they don't call me no more :p). But if I were in that situation where I didn't have time to string them along, I'd just leave the handset on a table -- don't hang up... and that's it. I'd then just go off and have my dinner. Let them talk to thin air and waste their time and money! Or better yet, put on a Transformers episode or movie or music and let it play into the handset (just say "please hold" and pretend it's your hold audio). ;)
ugh I really don't like the new youtube set up at all
HAHAHA! I'm so putting on a michael bay fight scene from transformers NEXT TIME. All they will hear is .. boom smash... ARGH! NO (optimus)... BOOM ARGH smash bang crash...Quote:

Maybe we should open a "Sleepless on Cybertron" section for those night owls to seek pals and consolations at night :p
That's a similar idea to Seibertron's Energon Pub. I do like the idea though :)Quote:
