    Cheers Fred.
    Hanging with the rich and famous Fred paying $30 for a coffee and cake. And sitting by watching AFL players ply there trade off the field. Interesting stuff.

    Must be a police blitz on. Seen speed cameras galore this week and a few patrol cars. Watch your speed boys and girls the budget must have holes in it again.

    Same here Scooby. They seemed really active around my little town over the weekend.
    Our local copper warned us a while ago that they would be hammering the highways due to way too many avoidable accidents happening.
    Good thing I reckon. Lots of DH's out there.

    A couple of hrs into a clean up last Tuesday and I hear a big noise. Whippy collected a small stone a threw it towards the windows. Brother and I looked but did nit see any broken windows - thought it may have hit the flywire screen
    2 hrs late when cleaning up & checking property I notice the dark tinted wind had a stone through it was ready to crumble. Yes it was the big bay window! All $1766 of it.

    Anyway 1st for over 10 yrs that I claimed on - 1 previous on a car but the guy charged only second hand parts from a wrecker.

    Have to say Indy insurance was quite easy. Carol at HO gave the ok in a minute and all was good. Just had to check to make sure it was covered at $1766 as dont have much experience with claims.

    Faark me! For $6.37 Citilink has contacted a collections company because my card was declined.

    Surely there is a standard way of doing business, in Australia and other civilized countries around the world!

    Get on the phone, or email, or even send a letter. Faark, someone had to contact the collections company, may have well just contacted me.

    Vented a little and sent an email sayiny their system sucks or they have a bunch of lazy pricks working for them

    What is this world coming to???????

    So does this result in a black mark on your credit record/rating?
    Agree -- they behave as lazy and aggressive sods who have less commonsense than a bab-babbling baboon

    No! Has to be over a certain amount and overdue for a certain period before they can list it.

    They can probably add charges somewhere but they still need to go through a process I believe.

    Just a bunch of lazy pricks!!!
