centrelink!
Over 4 weeks ago I put in my full application for sickness benefit! They called today to ask for evidence my wife and I are actually separated. Have to fill in another form and provide statements from 2 witnesses. I'll be back at work before I see any lucre!!

These things are designed to be annoying K. Do they backdate the money anyway?

You need to talk to them like Marsellus Wallace out of Pulp Fiction. That will guarantee a result (of sorts)?

Re: centrelink!
They're a funny bunch. I went in there yesterday and discovered that they're still listing a 1992 Mazda Astina as one of my assets, despite the fact that I sold it in 2003 and have informed them of this on at least two occasions. 
Next time I'll have some fun with them and say I'm now driving a Bentley Continental, so I'd appreciate it if they could raise my Newstart allowance to help cover the repayments.

I desperately need to go in to sort out our Childcare stuff but can't face it with 2 children in tow. Will be brave and go on Monday when I'm on my own. Ours is always a bit scary outside too..........

Trouble. Like the time an ex girlfriends Mum commented she wasn't good at holding her liquor and I suggested by the hair is always good. Or the time I tripped over a bag in McDonalds dropping my burger into the lap of a very big bloke. I smiled and asked if he wanted fries with that.
Sometimes it is just a reflex I can't help.
