    Yep. Another for the oldies.
  2. That's mild compared to some things on the net.

    Correct.
  4. Spot on Marty. The last job I had before retiring was as a customer service operator in a call centre for a company who handled calls for a number of companies. Therefore the person sittting opposite me was taking calls for a different company to me. My KPI was an AHT (average handling time) of three and a half minutes per call. I later found out no-one else was on such a stringent time limit. This time included writing up details of the call for the next person to take a call from this customer. The customer said that AHT was not important, that customer satisfaction was more important. However, they didn't employ me, the call centre operator did. At the time I was 6 months over retirement age, so I was told it was an appropriate time to retire, because my AHT's were too long. If I didn't retire, they had "alternative plans" in mind, and voluntary retirement would look better on my resume. As the net result was the same, against my wife's wishes, I took the retirement route. Sorry for late edit. I didn't know part of my post had dropped out.

    Put a ring on it.
  12. Something for you to read and have a go at: https://thenightly.com.au/australia/nick-bruining-qualify-for-just-1-of-centrelink-age-pension-or-jobseeker-and-30-per-cent-cgt-disappears-c-22399131
  13. I agree OT, but when I've said that I've been branded too draconian. I have said that if someone breaks into a persons house prepared to take a life, they should be prepared to lose their own. People caught setting properties and vehicles on fire should be set on fire themselves if they like fire so much.

    Country roads, take me home To the place I belong.
  17. My first job out of high school was as a car detailer at a country Ford dealership when the XK Falcon was first released. Left after about 3 months to join the bank.

    Quickies part 2

    Like Arte Johnson as the letch and Ruth Buzzi as the frump in Rowan and MArtin's Laugh In. The letch sidles up to the frump and asks "Do you believe in the Hereafter? Then you know what I'm here after."
  19. Side tracking but related. The Monaco Grand Prix in the late stages was halted because the bitumen on the track started to break up and cause a pot hole early this morning.
  20. This one is not recent, but is noteworthy. Actress Catherine O'Hara died in January this year. She had dextrocardia with situs inversus, a condition in which the heart and other major internal organs are reversed from their normal positions. She had an extensive film career. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catherine_O'Hara
  21. Our local Reject Shop was recently renovated to match photos of Dollarama stores, changing aisles from transverse to longitudinal. It still carries the old name but is ready to be updated.
  22. Meta kicked me off Facebook and deleted my account. My wife passed away 4 years ago so her Facebook account and email have been deleted. I don't have banking, mygov or any other aps on my phone. My email addresses and passwords are based on my car regos, 3 cars.
