That's a real shame because the line-up was light years ahead of any other festival, IMO. I was actually kicking myself for not going - now I'll be giving my back a pat

they were pretty disorganised everywhere, sadly. shame though - that new site in foot-as-cray looks amazing.

yeh - pity they didnt use it to nearly half its potential!

feigs - i has a fan that is not dead from sydney fest - do you need it for something?
i was highly impressed from an advertising view, such a good, useful, yet in your face marketing strategy.

Feigan · Post by **Feigan** » Thu Feb 04, 2010 1:12 pm

I Do Gk - I didn't grab one when I was there, need it for work.

such a great little product.

any way that I could get it up to Sydney from your side? I might be able to get someone to pick one up from you if that helps.

that's if you don't need it anymore....

Having $800 taken out of my bank account by a titting ex girlfriend. Only to find out my personal account was added as a joint account aswell as the savings we had together.

Went to bank to tell them that when i went in there 4 months ago to remove her from account all they did was take her name off the statements.

Now they are refusing to let me have my money back.

Yah sucks the big one. Waiting to hear back from the branch manager about this... Chances are this will be an ombudsman case.

I hope the bank and ex eat rotton tits then something really bad happens.

Big Gripe! disgusted!

A girl I work with got to work this morning shaken up as some creep groped her on the train this morning.

Which prompted another staff member to tell us how yesterday when the tram she was on stopped, three boys about 15-16 gropped a young girl (sitting on her own)around 12 on the breast as they were getting off the tram, poor girl just started sobbing.

wtf!

youthful_implants · Post by **youthful_implants** » Fri Feb 05, 2010 11:10 am

GOTD all the fuckin crying on so you think you can dance last night.

the contestants, the judges, everyone crying like babies.

FARK!

apophenian · Post by **apophenian** » Fri Feb 05, 2010 11:24 am

I thought it was common knowledge that dancers were pretty much manic depressive nutjobs.

That said, there was a lot of crying

C.I.A. · Post by **C.I.A.** » Fri Feb 05, 2010 11:30 am

Not Cool Beans, the whole grope situation.

I tried to take a photo of my most recent groper and demanded that he show me his face so I could pass his image on to the coppers for assaulting me but he ran off at the next stop hiding his face before I had a chance. Everyone else on the tram stared at the floor and blanked me. Thanks guys; what a community!!! Everyone go to your happy place where there isn't a girl going into shock standing next to you. Perhaps I asked for it, wearing a black serious meeting outfit that screamed "Taking the day off from the Whore Hooves and gaping gash, but have a bit of an attempt to insert yourself, cos unless pr0n has lied to you, chicks dig it". The people I loathe the most are not the deviant who was probably abused himself buy his dad/uncle/foster family and in need of therapy/chemcial castration, but the remainder of the passengers who stood next to me post-assault for the next three stops pretended that it had never happened and that I didn't exist while I tried not to thow up/faint/sob.

Thoughts going out to others who have dealt with this.

there have always been charges from the card issuer to the retailer for credit card transactions - the difference is that retailers are increasingly more likely to pass them on to the consumer.

quiet roar · Post by **quiet roar** » Fri Feb 05, 2010 1:17 pm

Holy shit, CIA, that is fucked! And I agree, the most disappointing aspect is the response (or lack of) from the other travellers.

They say violence doesn't solve anything but I reckon punch to his head or a knee to his groin would make him think twice before doing it again.

This I agree with! In both situations I talked about, nobody around the girls stepped up and said anything, even though they saw the whole thing.

Disgusting. Happens quite a bit though. There used to be such a problem with frotteurs targeting schoolgirls on packed trams down st kilda road when I was at school that they called us all in to a special assembly to teach us what to do if it happened to us...

next door neighbours are re-building, blaring pop radio into our house at eight am. jackhammers, flapping tarps, tradies yelling on the phone outside my window daily.
i have tried everything, the nice neighbourly approach, yelling at them, letters, calling council....they are just cunts.

I put dead prez 'radio freq' with the lyrics 'turn off the radio, turn off that bullshit'
at volume ten with all the windows open towards their place this morning so i could get ready in peace.

im gonna get stabby soon.

this war has gone on for nearly 2 years.
