Orignal Article
On Oaks day it would appear that revellers would have been better off if they’d turned up on horseback themselves. Thousands were left stranded when the flemington racecourse train line along with 2 others were out of action. People were even walking on the train lines to get away from what would have been [...]

I don’t think this post needs much explaining. Telstra just f#cking sucks so hard.
I’ve changed my address with them 3 times and they still fail to update my records

The mindless, illogical behaviour I see from tram and train [...]

I work in an office every weekday and I’ve come to expect bathroom behaviour that I just don’t understand. My most recent example is related to drinking in the toilet and I’ve seen evidence of this on more then one occasion. In the past I’ve found coffee cups, glasses and bottles of beer around the [...]

No showbag, no hats, no other freebies. I went to the public launch day of Melbourne’s first Telstra T-Life store and all I got was this crummy bottle of water.
A prime location and prominent building once showcasing the best of child Slave Labour, this corner of Bourke and Swanston Street is now home to one [...]
Don’t buy these overpriced, made in crapville, headphones. Many people complain of the sound quality and fit, which I assume are probably closely related, but my gripes differ.
They just don’t seem to last. I’ve had a number of friends with these headphones and we’ve all experienced the same breakage in the same places on the [...]
