I have the only boy in the next generation of my family - out of 8 cousins.

Funnily enough, my generation has 9 boys and 1 girl.

[The Big Shrek]

Not that it gave me the s hi t s, because we were delighted to welcome young Jack Miller into the world early yesterday, but can anyone please explain to me why we would begin to induce a baby at 6am???

You start early because you get charged per day at the hospital. They asked my missus to come in at midnight!

My family is mate, i have 2 girls, my brother and sister also have 2 girls each. My parents have 6 grand-daughters, all under the age of 6 !

We are expecting number 3, due AFL GF day (pretty obvious that it wasnt a planned pregnancy...well, not from my point of view anyway).

PS Well done Rog !!!

Telstra
Lets just say when I got home from the footy last night I was not happy with what she told me had happened.
My wife answered the door at about 6.15pm didn't open the security door and kept the wooden door almost closed.I should point out our porch light blew and I haven't chnaged it yet so she couldn't see how big this ethnic so and so was.
He started by saying he was from Telstra and we owed them money .They have been trying to call us and every time they ring we hang up.Well he was an Indian and we hung up all the time on indians ,I did friday morning.You know the phone says number unavailable or private.This guy says my name but adds an "S" to the end of my surname I of course say sorry not me .Sorry digressing here
So my wife says how can we owe Telstra money we have not been a client for years.
He moves on to how much you paying for line rental none of your business my wife says .How much you pay for Broadband the wife repeats the same answer.He goes on about local phone calls.And my wife gives up and tells him to go forth and multiply.
At this stage my teenage daughter comes up to see if mum is ok .They wait and go to our front window and watch him head to the house straight across from us.Their Great Dane went off he stopped and tried the house next to them.
So what right does this company have for ringing us not being able to speak English and then coming to our front door !! And lying about owing them money .
Telstra will have one angry housewife calling them Monady .Lucky I wasn't home he might have got the shit smashed out of him for saying I owe them money !!!!!!!
Anger gone

Good one Mickyj !!

Just registered my number on the "don not call" thing, so hopefully won't get any more calls, but they called before I had a chance to take phone of the hook when I was putting down my young 'un for a sleep. She was might peeved off that my attention was drawn away and started to scream in a high pitch kill your dog style scream...I answered the phone...3 second delay...accent...right call centre...
I placed the phone next to my screaming daughter as I changed her nappy, and lo and behold they were gone when I picked the phone up a minute later !!

Was he actually from Telstra or was he just trying to scam money from you like some people who used to go door to door to collect money for "charity"?

[Dutchy]

exatly my thoughts, Im not aware of Telstra doing any door knocking....they certaily wouldnt collect debts that way...they would be in breach of all sorts of codes if they did that

[smithy]

I am on the do not call register, but the other night I got a pre-recorded message saying " congratulations, you have won an all expenses paid trip for 2 to the Caribbean, to accept your prize press 2 now".
Has anyone else had this ?

I didnt press 2, I hanged up immediately.

[smac]

I have had that one smithy - apparently pressing 2 will add some ridiculous charge to your phone bill that takes a whole lot of headache to remove. Glad I am in the habit of hanging up on pre-recorded phone calls.

Being told at work by a customer that they are going to KILL you, and thinking that they are MORE than willing and able
