What cheeses me off

Tuned in for the last MotoGP at Phillip Is and the weather is against us so not being run.

Has it been called off entirely, or still just delayed?

Cancelled because they cannot get a safety chopper down from Melbourne. Chopper is needed in-case a rider needs to go to hospital.

MotoGP statement: 'Due to limited visibility affecting the operation of the medical helicopter at the Red Bull Grand Prix of Australia, the MotoGP Grand Prix race has been cancelled.
'As a farewell to the Island, the MotoGP riders will do a lap behind the safety car and stop on the main straight to greet the fans.
'Pitlane will open for the farewell lap at 15:45 local time.'

It's 1548 now. If you are quick you might get a walk through pitlane.

Adelaide weather has been rubbish for 24 hours so not over for Melbourne yet. Better now though.

We spent an entertaining 30 mins or so around 3 today listening to aircraft go around due to heavy rain and cross winds gusting to 35 knots here in CBR during a big storm cell. Then we watched them orbit, before finally all getting in safely once the weather moved on.

Perfect for me

That’s called doing a Qantas.
Run late and cancel.

Somebody wrote bum on the blackboard and teacher gives everyone detention…

You lived in the era of collective punishment too, eh?

Or military collective, which is the same thing except everyone except the perpetrator is punished...

For some reason, can't login with St George.

Call up (no choice). ID questions of course are asked.

One question is what is my current balance of my card. Now unless you have a new card or about to close card or you know everything you spent exactly and when, I don't see how anyone can pass this question! (Ironically, if I wanted to find out without help in person, I need to be able to log into my account!)

I could only give a rough estimate as to where the balance was at the moment. Not good enough - has to be exact to nearest whole dollar. Security check failed - go to nearest bank branch with 100 pts ID.

Complaint filed that is dumb.

Similar with ANZ for MrP. He had to give them the exact year the account had been opened. He's had an ANZ account for over 60 years and his parents opened it.
