Now we get the chambray shirt and polo ralph lauren crowd from surrey hills.

Nah, most of the chambray shirts are in Paddington or on the North Shore.
Surry Hills is just DINKs and sour lipped and minded too old DIOKs with one overindulged rugrat, gays, or badly dressed emos with fixies.

You know what? I bet that freak at my front door was a copper.
My phone has not been ringing nearly enough with work lately so I've done a bit of subbying for another plumber mate. Him and his father own a bar and were unlucky enough that one of the security guys the security company provided to them was the bikie that got arrested for selling 1/2 a kilo of coke to the cops a week or two ago.
We're working away earlier this week on some stackwork on a warehouse reno and his dad rings him, the federal cops are at the bar having a chat, going through the security camera footage and they make it clear that they're under surveillance, they know the bar's alarm code, and there's listening devices in the bar apparently to boot. It's been an amazing story to hear.

Farkinell. I suppose they're still trying to figure out our phone calls this week. 'Can you grab me a length of 1/2 inch lagged on the way over?' How many feds does it take to figure out what a 100*50 reducer could possibly mean?

No need for the tinfoil hat beebers ...... your paranoia may be justified. 'Specially with all this bikie stuff going down. Now, I don't have much experience with druggies (except for the two I "surprised" shooting up on my front verandah in Petersham one time) but most of them don't come back with a "well I better check the address" type comment - the best you'd get would be an "oh sorry" as they bolt out of there as fast as they can go.

Hehe. That should stand me in good stead then, I had a copper's hat on in that piccy
bbp bringing the Heat to the TAN. Sorry everyone.



Alright peeps, seeing as I hate Telstra with a passion, I must remove them from my life. I need a landline/fax, high usage mobile and at least 12GB of fast internet a month, upload speeds not a particular issue. What companies are providing decent packages that you've found?

Hmm. In hindsight maybe 'what are you after' was not the best phrase I could have used
He definitely had a disconcerting manner of entitlement to him that made me think he must have been a friend of my flatmates or something, who thankfully wasn't home or I might have even let him walk in the door, which he seemed to want to do.
Come to think of it he looked like the chambray shirt wearing type. Definitely fuzz.

It'll be interesting to see how this anti-bikie **** all works out, whether there's more than a token response after all their investigations, because they've definitely got fingers in all sorts of pies- military, cops, govt, pubs and clubs, security, organised crime, unions, you name it. I'm gonna pay the issue a bit more attention from now on.

This search doesn't seem to do bundled services, but should give you an idea what broadband options are available.

Cheers. I've browsed there before but now I've just made my first post.
Anyone here switched to VoIP rather than landlines for fax, etc? Any problems?

Beeb's - note the spelling difference with the "e" in Surrey. I think thunder is referring to the Melbourne suburb which is true upper middle class chambray shirt land.

Hey I got in trouble again tonight

They got me to do a crappy talk. I said no about a trillion times but they made me. So I said rar rar about stuff and then 'You know this industry is a bit like a spit roast I never asked for - agencies at one end and idiots at the other...'

You will never guess who flew off the handle. never. Some seppo sheila. she did the whole 'storms out in front of everyone' trick. Total wank. I tell people to stay away from me but no one bloody listens to me. Since when did spit roast's stop being a good conversation starter?

Whatever. I shall meditate in the metaphorical desert for some for to days and nights.

Checkyoself.

You should have used an anal sex or buk kake reference IMO. Less controversial.
