First day of a week's holidays started yesterday.
Two vehicles packed with wife, kids, dog, bikes, scooters etc
Leave early so I can get there by 10am to watch my Steelers in the NFL playoffs.
Little miss 6 needs a toilet stop & the dog has the lead twisted numerous times around her hind leg, so we pull over on the Kulpara to Paskeville road. Wife gets back in her car - and nothing, it won't start. F*CK! So I put wife & kids in my van and send them on their way whilst I ring the RAA. Now it's just me and my Kelpie, Lenny - and 8 million flies and ants and the humidity and the warm wind. The RAA bloke has to come from Kadina, says he'll be half an hour or so. He arrives actually in less time than that, tries numerous things/tests, can't get it going. "Have to tow it to the Kadina dealership" he tells me. A rope tow, bloody hell! Never did that before, that's hairy at times doing 90 km p/hour with bugger all steering or brakes and only a car length between you.
Arrive at dealership, service manager informs me he can't get the car seen to until next Tues, they're flat out plus it's a short week. That's no good, we head home on Saturday. He was trying his best to work something out and told me to leave it with him. Now I needed a ride (and Lenny) to Pt Hughes where we're staying. (Wife couldn't come & get me as she only had the van which seats 3 and couldn't leave kids alone as they're only 6 & 4). So I have to wait for my RAA friend who is the other side of Wallaroo doing a job. Finally he picks me and my patient furry offsider up, but can't fit in what luggage we had in broken down car. Eventually arrive at holiday house, get straight in the van and drive back to Kadina to retrieve luggage.
3pm, almost 5 f#cking hours later and I can try to relax.
Oh , and the Steelers got knocked out and the dealership rang this morning saying they found time to look at our car and it's a fuel pump. Part sent from Adelaide tomorrow, fitted on Thursday - $980 thanks very much.
I may drink a little more than usual this week.

[Booney]

Ouch.

I reckon you've got one morning where you can crack one about 10:30 and if you get a look you can just fire one back and say nothing.

I wouldn't fire back......I'd look up to the heavens, shake my head and scull the rest of my beer.

Spargo, you're a mate of HH3. Let me know if you're in need of accommodation that side of the Peninsula next time. We have a holiday house at North Beach (just north of Wallaroo) we can look after you.

I've been looking at TV's recently. On the Kogan site (clearly we're after a cheapie) people are rating their TV 5 stars before they even unpack it!

Ratings like:

"It's great, it looks like it will do what it promises, we haven't unpacked it yet, it's a present"

"It's still in the box but I think it's awesome"

WTF? How is this helpful?????

Customer reviews are terrible anyway unless it's all 1 star or whatever. Tech sites are better options for reviews
