Cheers mate.
I might try that.
Now for the phone call and 45 minutes I won’t get back trying to organise it.
Deep breathe.

I go with AGL now, I get monthly bills and most of them are estimates with the option of using their app to give them the exact reading, they even send me a reminder that a bill is coming up so I can send a reading early.

It's very handy budget-wise, I'll pay extra on the months when my car rego isn't due so I'm not getting slapped around all in the one hit, I've actually been in credit a couple of times with my gas bills.

Yeh we're with AGL and use the website to put in the correct reading and they adjust. Our meter reader is on the inside of garage door, and same problem, you cant get an accurate date of when they come. But I've seen them do an Australia Post and just put the slip in without even trying to knock.

My laptop refuses to play any sound, however, I can plug in my headphones and I get sound.

I thought maybe the speaker has shat itself but if I put in a HDMI cord and try to play anything through my TV, I get no sound either.

Have you tried restarting it?







Someone had to say it.......

I had the same thing with my work laptop this week, ended up playing with the Sound Settings in the Control Panel and got it working.

Alternatively do you have speakers that can plug in like earphones? That maybe a alternative fix.

Those towels would be drenched.

I seen an article on the weekend about the ball kids and it's that cut throat to get the big gigs at the end of the tournament that they often urinated themselves on court.

It may have changed now as they get more of a rotation and less court time each session. but geez it's a strict regime, you could tell tell by the interview they gave the girl who got hit by Raf.

They get a daily meal allowance, they get "some" tickets for family, friends and get to keep their uniforms whilst they receive an "end of tournament" gift, last year was some Beats headphones.

Pretty sure it is ALL volunteer work, people just love getting close to the tennis stars.
