Thank you

 

This was a paid advertising insert. Inserted nationally (most newspapers) by Harvey Norman.

 

Unfortunately we are not in a position to be able to turn away advertising business. Revenue from all types of advertising allows us to produce free community newspapers. Insert advertising is an automatic process at the printing sites and is a recognised advertising medium used throughout the world.

 

 Thank you for your feedback.


A response I got after asking why I continue to get enormous advertisments folded up with the local paper when I have 2 NO CIRCULARS signs on my letter box.

Smarmy c*nt. They can stick the entire paper up their arses actually. I'd rather go without the local dribble when all it is, is "Little Jimmy came first at this years track meet".

Hopefully they can put my name on a DO NOT DELIVER list.

well lets say I will probably only be paying 1-3 suppliers, and only be being paid by 1-3 clients.

I'm not going to need a suite like MYOB, nor do I want to pay $300/yr for something like xero.

the software really is just about keepign things easy and tidy.

Just use excel spreadsheets then. Makes it easier when doing quotes, billing, orders. i can send you like a basic invoice template if you like :)

There is a supplier who rewinds transformers for us. He deals with heaps of companies. Safely say over 20. But he does everything on paper and through books.


yer dont you just love it when they push all your mail out of the letter box with the junk mail? its nice :)  But just throw the junk away. recycle :)

*drivel

I used the word dribble on purpose.

I can only imagine the sort of person who reports such useless uneventful articles ends up dribbling all over themselves due to the bland nature of the local paper.

We have an " Addressed Mail Only" sign which seems to work perfectly. I, too, prefer to go without those Community rags.

We have 2 dogs.

Unfortunately one has become so fucked in the head that she never craps in the yard any more (she grew up with my partner before I was with her and never had contact with anyone else, so she has anxiety issues form here to Africa). She holds on to all of her excrement until we take her for a walk and she shits and pisses everywhere, it's frustrating because she runs about a kilometre in front of me and takes a shit where I can't see because she is terrified that I will walk off without her while she is squatting.

The other dog is a stuck up little twat when it comes to food. He shoves his nose up at what we feed him (partners a vet student so she gets the proper stuff for puppies to make sure he doesn't have a stunted immune system). Because he doesn't eat what he is given he ends up squirting everywhere.

I love my dogs, really, but they mind fuck me a lot :\.

That, and the newspaper posties around here are all fat lazy wankers who hoon around on the footpaths with scooters, so even if I was able to find dog turd, it wouldn't matter.

oh what a shame.

bro wit for them to deliver the shit, then as theyre approaching your leterbox, crank the hose to full and squirt the shit out of them. when they say "please stop it please dont" you can say "See my signs?? you dont pay attention to my request so why the fuck should i listen to you!?!?!"
