Dealing with Civic Compliance, first I was on hold for over 10 minutes going through the menu then I get a guy called Frank who might as well have had Spence as his surname he was such a pedantic wanker.

It was funny that he agreed with me when I said a corporation cannot issue a fine to a natural living person. Wink But that has to be confirmed by a judge so I might have to take the matter to court.

Oh the issue was driving a company vehicle that it turns out was unregistered yet the issuing copper allowed me to drive away in it, go figure. The boss had told me it was all sorted turns out it hasn't been sorted at all and is still in my name.

Restaurants that still do the alternating red meat/fish when dishing up a set menu. Went to dinner tonight for awork do at a supposedly flash joint in Richmond.

canapes were very good, waiter service also very good. You sit down for the main and people come out putting down a plate of red meat in front of every second person and the other gets fish. Person on my right gets meat, I say "thank you" to the waiter as they come past and they reply "oh no, sorry, we're alternating. You get the fish".

As the person with the fish came up behind me to put the plate down I just said "NO, I'm not eating fish".

To the waiters credit, they didn't try to put it down in front of me or even remotely push the point, one of them just said, "I'll get you some meat".

Fkn ridiculous behaviour in this day and age, it's not incumbent on me to gave to negotiate a swap for my meal with someone else, a supposedly flash joint that charges like I assume they charge can make sure they give people their preference.

They could also try to make sure they can actually cook said meat. I'm not sure now if it was beef or lamb because it was over cooked to the point of being gray inside. Two bum notes on an overall not bad experience

Is this what the fat cats of HR do with our money Wink Razz

Whatever happened to the tinned solitary asparagus spear wrapped up in a crustless white soft triangled slice of bread?

When we do a "bring a plate" morning tea, someone always brings that. I actually like it.

And nah, wasn't a HR gig, we have no money for stuff like that. Wink
