Rivers clothing store adverts where they say about certain items
"Your local store may have lots or none"

In other words " It's cheap rubbish and we don't care".

Think the quality and the look of their gear has really gone downhill in recent times, seems like they have changed their focus.

You are spot on. Around 8-10 years ago they produced stylish casual clothes and shoes that you'd feel really good wearing. Nowadays the stuff they churn out is cheap and nasty.

Needing to be in a collar and tie each day I find their shirts to be a good option. Cheap, easy to iron and of reasonable quality but I do agree with the comments above. Shoes, shorts etc are rubbish.

I will not buy a business shirt from them again after one ran and destroyed the other 4 in the wash.

I had a couple of business shirts from them a few years ago. They were so thin and cheap that i had to wear Bonds tshirts underneath to stop the females in the office checking out my nips....it was like wearing a mosquito net...

What gives me the shits today? Being called un-ethical by my now ex insurance broker.

Long story short, but a month ago I re-organised my insurance for both of my houses, contents and both cars. Obviously shopped around for quotes etc. and changed brokers as they had quoted me a cheaper premium through Allianz, where my old broker quoted through CGU. Anyway, I phoned the old broker today to cancel my existing policies which he wasn't happy about (fair enough) and I told him the new cover is through Allianz and a new broker. He claimed that there was some funny business going on as his quotes were also through Allianz and that they should be the same, but called me un-ethical, twice, for cancelling my car policy mid-term and not giving him a chance to quote it when the term finishes as every renewal quote he is doing at the moment Allianz is coming up cheaper for both houses and cars. The second time I pulled him up on calling me un-ethical and explained how thats pretty unfair of him as each year all I get is a renewal from him and its always been through CGU la da da de da. Anyway I cancelled my policies and we sort of hung up on each other.

Coincedentally, I got a renewal for the houses and contents in the mail today from this broker and guess who the renewal was through, CGU, and it was expensive.
It shits me off even more now that he said Allianz is coming up cheaper on all his renewals, yet sent me out a CGU renewal.
After calling me un-ethical I am damn close to ringing him back and giving it to him as my definition of un-ethical is him being lazy and just sending me a renewal and collecting the commissions without doing his job properly, not me keeping my insurances all together for ease of management and a cheaper premium which now adds up to $40 per month over all policies.

This long story that is not so short now this is why being called un-ethical is giving me the shits!

The pre-race fluff on OneHD. Get to it FFS.

So many feminine stories, crap fashion discussions and Ten cross promotions, and how terrible was that guy from Masterchef saying there was a Greek world champion who drove a three wheeled car

At least channel 9 used to show things like the Formula Ford, I doubt 10 would even show the Carrera Cup if one of their commentators didn't race in it

[Rik E Boy]

The Pre-Season. Hurry up and end FFS.

Ring him and during the conversation ask if his rash has cleared, that's what I do when people put me on speaker phone, I hate it.
