Disputing a parking fine, Melbournian style!
Back when I was at Uni, a close friend (who drove a Toyota Supra) and I used to attract parking inspectors like magnets (needless to say, our girlfriends were not impressed!). There was very little we could do too, some of the inspectors would “camp out” and await our batch of cars (we had a system!) as we swapped each others cars in the hopes we don’t get fined, then BAM! fined. Anyway, those days are long gone. Most of the areas we parked are now permit zoned but these days, inspectors seem to be far more aggressive with fines with very little leniency.
Here’s a letter sent to the City of Melbourne disputing a fine, thought this was hilarious – and encouraging.
Anyway, that was win for you and me kiddo. For the helpless people that need hope and encouragement, we may not win the war, but we’ve won the battle.
Add that to the collection of Aussie funnies! I wonder if there’s a “Parking Inspectors” forum like the OzLiberty forums, they all get together and marvel at each others fines – time to troll!
When captcha’s know too much….
I was innocently attempting to post a comment on an article in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Then after a few refreshes, it decided to take it to the next level.
It was not to be however, even after several attempts the CAPTCHA failed to validate! A good way to end the week!
Seek ad for an IT Developer for BorderExpress
After last year’s search for Credit Superhero on Seek, I bring you, the IT Developer for Border-Express with….
The original ad has been scaled back a bit as I doubt the right candidate could be found in time. Full credit to TheRegister.
HP Computers are racist.
Gold.
Soon as my blackness enters the frame…. I’m sneaking in….. Black desi gets in there… Uh no, no face recognition buddy. HP Computers are racist.
Read the HP response to this video. Clearly a failure in the QA department!
