    Refuse to pay for it or just walk away. Although it depends on how hungry you may be
    When I was in Sydney, I tool the missus to the revolving resturaunt. Took me an hour of waiting for my main after ordering. Lamb it was and to top it off the dish was supposed to be cooked rare. Why did it take so long? Luckily for them we managed to enjoy ourselves for the 3 hours we were there loking over the spectacular view and saw day/sunset/evening stages.

    When I paid the bill the dude asked "How was the meal?" Well, "Meal was nice, shame it took so damn long to get to us." Won't be going there again.

    I've eaten at the revolving restaurant. I found the worst part going to the toilet after half a dozen beers only to come out and not be able to find your table

    Microsoft's Windows 7 pricing, especially with the lack of upgrade promotion bar the 'buy Vista now get a free Windows 7 upgrade later!" Why do the yanks get all the good deals??

    Thought about using photobucket because of this. You have to register though right? You have to now with imageshack because this pop-up window prevents you from getting your link once you've uploaded an image - easy way around it is to go right-click 'select all' and copy / paste to notepad
    You need to register so you can keep your albums there, I can't imagine a site like that where you wouldn't have to register. I'd suggest at least giving them a go if you're not happy with your current online photo carrier.

    What the hell, the quality of their service is mediocre at best and they're expecting us to pay more now? Damn them.

    I can't remember the last time I sent a parcel that was under 250gm's I find their service to be really good, fairly quick and not that expensive, especially for within australia, it's rare that a parcel takes more than 3 days to get most places.

    Besides, they need to keep up with the times, with all the internet shopping going on these days and very few letters anymore the money for them is in parcels.

    I'm married, just over 3 years now, no kids yet though, also over 30. My wife supports my interest but sometimes I think it concerns her a little. I support her interests and try not to let the collecting invade all the room s of th apartment.. Whatever you do don't let collecting get between the two of you though.
