rofl.

Get home, find I forgot to pay up on Snap internet bill.
Pay overdues, wait for reconnection.

10 mins later, no reconnect.

30 mins later, still no reconnect. Have DSL connection, but no internet authentication.

Call Snap.
No holding, get an answer in about 15 seconds.
"I can see that it's been down, but it looks like it reconnected about... 15 seconds ago..."
"hahaha, of course it did!"
"haha, yep, sometimes even just ringing us is enough!"
"Woah, fantastic service!" *tounge in cheek*
*laughs from both ends*

Fuck I love their service reps.

Yea snap sounds great. I am planning to make the switch before the end of this month. TCL data costs have just become too much. I can get 160gb for the same price i pay for 40gb on TCL.

Also, while it's still the 9th of May, I'd just like to thank the Russians for defeating Hitler so the Yanks could claim they won WW2.
Keep up the winner tank parades.


 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Non-Aggression_between_Germany_and_the_Soviet_Union

"in addition to stipulations of non-aggression, the treaty included a secret protocol dividing Romania, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Finland into German and Soviet spheres of influence, anticipating potential "territorial and political rearrangements" of these countries"

Given their previous devious plans they are some what dis qualified in my eyes as far as im concerned, they fought only out of necessity because their bed partner the nazis turned on them.

I can now add myself to the list of people who have almost been crushed by a CRT TV.

Huge motherfucker, well compared to all the LED/ Plasma TVs of today at least.

Was moving it while still on a (very slippery) cabinet so I could get Foxtel/ PayTV set up in a second room when all of a sudden the cabinet slipped forward and TV smashed to the ground, luckily I was quick enough to jump out of the way.

Best thing is, the bloody thing still works like a charm! Good work Panasonic.

That's completely different to a couple of months back when a little kid was running through the TV department at work and he somehow managed to push over a 46" Samsung series 7 LED which went plummeting to the ground and into a billion pieces.

Went into JB hifi yesterday to buy a cable and some noob(in front of me in the line) was returning a mobile phone which it's main feature was water proof.

Reason for return: water damage after owning it for 6 days. No idea what make of phone it was, didn't see the phone, but I had a bit of a chuckle.

JB HIFI here has a habit of hiring cute, socially awkward girls with dirty pink/purple hair and knee high socks.

They also have a habit of hiring some simple folk.

Shitting on the floor is considered good service in Gisborne... Giving any response outside of a grunt and a dirty look is excellent.

Gisborne - Service with a scowl.
