Government policy dictates that all figures must now be rounded to the nearest 5c.

Move to another country, pick holes in it and then post whiny little missives on a message board.

If anyone asks 'how are you?'

Reply with 'I have a torn rectum, my dog has died and my piles are killing me' and then launch into a twenty minute story about your arse and your dead dog. Sob noisily and clutch the person who has asked you how you are and wipe your snotty nose on their cardi.

Tell them that you hate the sun, surfing is for tossers, blue heelers are not proper dogs and that England did them a favour by introducing the cat as it has done a good job culling those bloody noisy birds.

Tell them that wildlife should be illegal and then make a big demo of stamping on spiders and poisoning snake nests.

Tell them that Iron Man contest is for creaming poofters.

Say that VB is just about the worst beer brewed on this Planet.


And by the way I have drunk some shite beer around this World to qualify that statement.

Because old habits die hard in the retail trade. They still want you to believe that paying $4.98 instead of $5 is a "REAL BARGAIN!!!!"
