That'll be 33c please

As most readers will be aware, I live in Brisbane, Aus. Fewer will be aware that I live on the intersection of 3 suburbs. Not literaly, Brisbane City Council said the cars would get in the way if I built a house on an intersection - but I live on the corner of aforementioned intersection. If I cross the road to the west I'm in a suburb called Fortitude Valley. This area is more commonly know as one of the following:

a) The Valley
b) China town
c) Bumville

China town is the most appropriate as....well..... it is. However, they also have a range of other Asian outlets one of my favourite is which is a store which sells all foods Indian. This is the place to buy all of your spices fresher, better and WAY cheaper than all the supermarkets. The only problem with the place is the owner. She's about 1m tall and about the same width. And she is the rudest person you could ever meet.

She treats her staff like dogs and abuses her customers. I guess no one's perfect but anyhoo.

The other day I went in and was surprised to see her hurling small packets of rice at one of her staff together with a barrage of abuse. The verbal abuse isn't uncommon by any means with her but it was the first time I'd seen her actually do anything physical.

I largely ignored the situation and started my shopping. I bought about $30 worth of things. I went to the counter and the abused staff member was now manning it. He rang through the goods and told me it was 33c. I said "No mate, it's $33". He looked at me and with a huge grin and a grazed eye said "I'm not caring, I'm quitting today!"

Fucking blogger. Fucking Scramble. Fucking Vuboq

I wrote a couple of posts of over the weekend as as I tried to post them blogger crashed and I managed to lose both of them. Grrr.

I've finally found a use for the site facebook. I've never seen the purpose of the site it just annoys me. If I wanted to share my thoughts with people I knew in high school I'd email them this blog address.

However, back to point - I've finally found a use - SCRAMBLE. It's awesome. The only moan I have about it is that it doesn't give extra points for "tough" letters like X and Q, etc. I think it should use a graded system.

Actually, that's not my only moan. Look at this:

And when I checked the list of available words at the end, LATTIN is listed as being a valid word!

Hmm. Our google based survey says......

Latin=337 000 000 references

Lattin=262 000 references

Yes, there are over one hundred references on the internet to the word LATIN for each reference of the word LATTIN.

But I was pleased with this. Would you expect anything less (more?) from me?

Finally there is the matter of Mr. Vuboq. The one who has become "The cheating cheater" in my opinion. Look at the score board image below. L is about the only person who has beaten me more than once. And this image shows the typical standard of our game. Then spot the utter bastard in the middle. The one that more than doubles my two winning scores shown.

Yeah Vuboq. Very funny. I will work out how you're doing it you bugger!
