Correct me if I'm wrong, but neither one of those are vans. What pisses me off is we have a person here on crutches that needs one of those spots and he had to park further away because of those 2 inconsiderate assholes!!! [/list:u] So I went out and put a note on each of their windshields, "What part of VAN ACCESSIBLE ONLY are you too stupid to understand???" [/list:u] I feel better already :mrgreen:

Good for you, Musa! That's exactly what you shoulda done (aside from letting the air outta their tires ;))

I know that feeling all too well... It's like solitary confinement. :sweat:

Not quite at my place... I have 3 kids and a wife complaining about it :( But it's back working this morning :victory:

I've done that to cars: some people in the apartments up the street leave their cars parked in front or on the side (I have a corner lot) for days on end....

Don't they get ticketed?

Oddly, one street has street cleaning with a No Parking sign , but the other street doesn't have a No Parking sign...

Dopey city planners. :shakehead:

Grim. :bleh:
Continuing computer-related gripery (I think I just made that word up...),
AOL! :banghead:

They are being monstrous to us at the moment. We are paying for broadband, but they've made it so our connection is way down in speed than it should be.
So we are going to be with another provider from next Monday.
So frustrating not being able to download stuff quickly, listen to Last.fm radio, or watch any videos on YouTube. Gah.

I know what you mean. Up until recently, "broadband" in Australia was in name only. What's "broad" about a 256/64k connection? Or a 1.5mb connection, for that matter? Now there's an election coming up, broadband has become a big issue, and both major parties are promising readily available broadband for the masses - up to 24mbit/s. YAY!

On topic: Trying to convince Mrs A.D. we need to upgrade our connection to a 1.5mb connection :( (from 512/128k)

What, it's like that all over Australia? I do have a friend in Australia, but she's never mentioned what her internet service is like.

Good luck with trying to convince Mrs AD! :rofl:
I take it if she needs convincing, she's not a big net surfer. :mrgreen:

Actually, the J-D forum has been pretty stable for a good while now... *knock on wood*

It was lagging a bit for me yesterday, but I'm sure it was only cause I'm doing massive downloads at the moment. :mrgreen:

That would be appreciated :bow: [/list:u] You know Sensei, now that you're not teaching civics, that means somebody else will, and when they have a problem they'll come to you for advice. You're becoming a Senpai right before our eyes!!! :applaud: [/list:u]
