    Sounds like Centrelink, except they never leave you alone and you tell them you're working from 9.30 - 8.30 and they ring up at 10am asking you questions. ''I can't answer you now!!''


    It's a pain in the arse. I've given up answering the phone. Anyone who wants me can call my mobile.

    Centrelink are also a pain in the arse. If you're bored, check out the #whenIwasabludger hashtag on twitter for tales of pain, woe and bludging off the government.

    I'd love to, for a few months, get rid of my phone. Maybe take a road-trip and forget about any kind of communication for eight months. Hate answering the phone, 'cos you know the resulting call is about to piss you off and make you annoyed for the next eight hours.

    I'll have to check out that Twitter tag. 14 minutes on the phone, and 13 of those waiting to be answered.

    Sounds about par for the course. I'm sure Centrelink's no better than they were 15+ years ago when I was on benefits. I'm always surprised anyone has time to look for a job with all the time and effort it takes to satisfy their requirements.

    I looked and found one for myself. I can't wait around for them. I wasn't with them 15 years ago but I'd guess it's no worse given what some people have told me.

    Their requirements are ridiculous. To have 40 hours a week is like a godsend.
  5. Listening to Vertigo Seattle first night Frafoca remaster, LaPoE was a pretty good opener, sound is awesome!


  6. was thinking about that the other day, where did they put COBL?
  7. If I remember about 7 songs in.
  8. 7th. COBL lost a lot from not being the opener.

  9. LaPoE works well as an opener - the fighter jets going around your head has gotta be awesome, but then again the organ opening to Blinding Lights is probably a great opener too. How I wish they'd drop IALW or Stuck and put LaPoE in both it's places with an extended ending.

    That was a pretty good guess considering I wasn't even looking at the setlists or listened to a Vertigo show - particularly that one - in ages.
  10. Drew, who the feck is that guy in your avatar? A rejuvenated Elton John?

  11. I thought he looked more like Robin Williams but that's just me.
  12. ha! Really? You had posted a pic of yours before, but I sincerely didn't think it was you.
    Yeah, a mix between Elton John and Robin Williams sounds just about right. Good pic, good avatar too
