Aldi? Mobile?

I rue the demise of Crazy John's. Their service was excellent, even though helpdesk had an Indian accent. The $15 prepaid recharge that lasts 90 days, the 1c SMS, the free 500Mb data with every recharge and unlimited talk to others on the Crazy John's network. I could go the whole year and not exceed $60. For $29 extra you can add 6 months of Blackberry service.

Vodafone took over CJ a while ago and then decided to pull the plug. Their offering is 28c per SMS and calls charged at 89c per 1 minute plus 35c connection fee. Tried it, didn't like it. 

Went for the Aldi offering. Aldi, the German supermarket chain, running on Telstra's 3G network. I get 12c SMS, 12c per minute calls and 5c per Mb data, all on a 365 day credit expiry. Number porting was a simple online affair. Activated my SIM at 7:30pm, number ported by 8:00pm.

Still to call helpdesk, hope I get a nice fraulein helping me out...

Bladder Fright Affliction aka BFA

Many years ago I mentioned the problem of BFA effecting us males. The difficulty of standing shoulder to shoulder attempting to 'do it'. Guess what, our good friends at LG decided add to our handicap by installing crystal screens in the urinal.

The result.... 16-second 'average stage fright delay' and a failure to launch rate of 26%.

So, size matters eh?

Researchers showed over 100 women (mostly in their late 20's), 350 computer generated images of men with different body shapes, heights and penis sizes (ranging from 5-13 centimetres).

The ladies took three seconds on average to choose, with the largest penises proving most popular. Not only were the ratings higher, but the women also spent more time gazing at the generously endowed figures, a sign they preferred looking at them as opposed to figures with smaller penises?

Feeling better already, I can now ogle big boobs guilt free!

Food for thought

A friend pointed out that you get a years jail for rape and 15 years for cutting off someones beard...

Not Surprising

Sometime ago I wrote about someone who received emergency first aid from a St John Ambulance officer  and was suing and saying her treatment was unlawful assault. There was also the Alexandra Van Horn v. Lisa Torti case in California where it doesn't pay to be a Good Samaritan.

Now, we have the gall to complain that a woman in California dies after a nurse refuses to perform CPR?

Oh please!
