    Sounds like my girlfriend, who turned up at the Adelaide airport to return to Melbourne, she arrived about an hour early for the 6 oclock flight, the check in chick said sorry you are 11 hours late. The ticket was for the 6am flight not the 6Pm flight

    drove past an absolutely pristine Bentley today (around $300k worth)..... with L plates. you'd think they'd maybe buy a cheapo $50k for the kid to learn in.

    Anything Ian says may or may not be garbage, it may also be his own opinion or it may not be his opinion at all, it may just be something he felt like stating anyone following his advice does so at their own risk and may be doing something Ian would actually advise against.
    And if you don't like what Ian has to say use the ignore function if you don't know how ask i will gladly tell you

    Get a call at 3pm Sunday arvo, "I'm not happy with the Jims guy doing my lawn, can you come by and do it."

    Sure whereabouts are you, Dandenong he says, sorry I dont go further than Narre Warren

    He says - So you wouldnt go 10k's further for a job (sounded like a 50 or 60dollar job). He said it in a way as if to say but you must travel for me.

    No I wouldnt.

    Was about to say I could find someone for him via here, but he hung up.

    Some people think you will travel anywhere for a job.

    Some bosses do take on jobs everywhere. With my old boss (tree industry), we were based around the Essendon area, mostly work on that side of town. Get a call to go a little bit passed Frankston, work mate in a ute is ahead of me by ~an hour, I'm in a truck slowly cruising down Eastlink, a good hour and a bit from our normal area. Get a call, job is canceled, back to Essendon! Then there's others where its been a 3 hour drive there and 3 hour drive back.

    Professional hacking on business computers is becoming a real problem in the business world... basically, a hacker will hold a business to ransom.

    I was speaking to a friend the other week who's client was held at randsom a few months ago... $20K to have access to there business servers again!

    Apparently the money needs to be transfered into an offshore account and they release the blocking to the servers once processed.
