Booking Fee's !!!

How is it, that when I willingly paying however many dollars to go to a show/event/game/whatever and then I have to pay an additional 'fee' for the 'privelege' of booking my bluddy ticket/s. It's right up there with transport companies having a Fuel 'Surcharge'.

Why the hell can you not incorporate a standard fixed cost into the overall price of providing your 'service'. I'd rather just be charge for the total amount... utter Bow-Lox I reckon.

I understand that various delivery methods can cost more, and fair enough. But I don't think I should have to pay an additional fee for an electronic ticket... that should be the base price, and add additional fee's for couriered tix, etc. It's crap... Ticketek suck kumara's!!! How can you charge me $5 to print my own e-ticket, and $8 if I should dare require you to print it and send it to me via regular post - or let me collect it at the venue!!!


Jeezuz... I need a coffee

There's no "it amuses me" thread so i'll post here

The fact there's ninety odd thousand seats at Wembley, yet both sets of fans for the F.A cup final have been allocated 25,109 each ? leaving 40,000 for the "football family"  both teams get 38,000 plus to most home games respectively so why such a low amount, surely they should've been allocated more

The way the international community is treating Fiji. Democracy is not about everyone just having a vote. The vote has to mean something. We should have kicked up a fuss in the past when the democratically elected government was treating certain citizens inequally, not when someone decided to actually do something proactive.

Weird. Warm milk and honey, ok, raw sugar, fine, but brown sugar? That's only for porridge, man,  everyone knows that.

Cristiano Ronaldo (again).

And before you plastics jump back on your wagon - yes, we were beaten by a better team. And yes, he is a bluddy amazing footballer.


He does however, remain a complete Twit.

Just back on the sugar thing - remember living in a shared house and you'd run out of sugar, so you'd use brown. Then you'd run out of that, so you'd use castor. Only when you'd run out of icing sugar would someone actually get it together enough to go and buy some sugar.

Microsoft Vista, I've never had an operating system lock up as much as this turd.
 
Come to think of it, the only good Microsoft systems have been:
 
dos 6.22
windows 3.11
windows XP service pack 3
 
and
 
Vista, Me, 98, 95 = all dogs.

The Aussie judiciary do this every year and conveniently just before every test against the kiwis. What amazes me though is how they can keep a straight face when doing it!

Surge isn't that a beta version?? I heard that the real one will be unleashed in a few months and that Beta uswers will still have to purchase it.
 
Things that piss me off - Microsoft Wireless Notebook Mouse 3000 - Vista designed and wont work with Vista. Microsoft New Zealands support has been nothing short of abysmal including issuing an incorrect address for returning faulty products to.

The hypocrisy of the Fiji situation.  We cold shoulder Fiji for it's lack of democracy. We sign a FTA with China despite its lack of democracy. REAL POLITIK!!
