    • Shoot me now and be done with it!

      HR must have received my application for police check, even though they didn't give me a valid email address to send it to.....because now they've said 'While you're waiting for it to go thru, you can fill out these forms and produce these bits of paper........' One of them being a birth certificate.
      Yes, here in NSW they take your licence and photocopy it as a valid form of ID. Not so in the ACT.
      I had a birth certificate, since I was about 18 yo. Never lost it. Not until I had to produce huge amounts of ID for the boys to get their centrelink card, which they needed to get their L plates licence to learn to drive. Mine disappeared. I have all theirs still. I can prove I'm their mother, but not that I"m me.
      Right, get another you say? Yes, and I'll need 3 forms of ID for that. One each from category 1,2,3. Lovely. Category 1 is either your birth certificate, or your immigration papers if you came from NZ.
      Insert several short swear words of your choice. And repeat them all several times. FGS what is wrong with these departments!

      • It's simple Fez; they aren't allowed to talk to each other. That would be too easy. It's the same here.

        Rant? Still trying to get them beggers up north to return the charger for the BH's tablet. We still don't even know if it works because we can't charge it. They say they didn't get the charger but they have sent us back the empty charger box. In a minute the tablet will be heading north for the third and final time.

            • Wait for over an hour for the breakdown bloke to come, he looks and can't work out what's wrong. It's the fuel line I tell him time and again. An hour later and it's too late to take it to the garage and they didn't bring the tow truck anyway. Thanks for that matey!

                • 4 days away helping a mate to find her house under immense, humungous, unbelievable piles of cr*p, come home absolutely exhausted to find that I've misread an assignment deadline - it's not the 27th it's the 21st And then wake up this morning so full of snot I can barely breathe *weeps quietly*

                    Don't blow, Sarz - sniff'n'spit - has been proven to keep a head-cold much dryer, and less sneezing. No headache from keeping on blowing, either. Learned from that Nutter, Evans, on t'radio, years ago, and confirmed by me over around ten years now.

                    Just gleaned another tip from the same Nutter; At the 'end' of a cold, when you're all 'sinussy' and bunged up - apply Vic to the soles of your feet before you go to bed! Tried it this week - no idea why it works, but it does!

                        Yeah you do...you're G4. If you don't have a rant, then the world has stopped turning.

                        My Rant - a continuation of the breakdown farce. Sigh.

                        • Walking into a kitchen this morning that was full of flies! GAH!! Looks like my potting compost has them in it and using it in a warmer place instead of the shed has made the eggs hatch.

                          That's the chilli plant outside in the cold then

                          Grrrrr...
                          When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it.
                          If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant.
