When airlines decide to change your flight and put on the one that leaves an hour earlier while still selling seats on the flight you orginally booked.
Thanks, the reason I booked the later flight is because I can't make the earlier one. I doubt they will eztend their check in time for me.
I have enough to do tomorrow without sitting on hold for half an hours.

That is really annoying. You should make an official complaint.
But where you going, where you going?!

To Melbourne. I shall be complaining. The earlier flight is not suitable and if I get later flight than the orginal I will be getting down there rather late. I will need to look into the terms and conditions but I'm hoping they have to give me a refund if I can't take the other flights.
What's in Melbourne?
Yeah, definitely enquire, that is ridiculous.

Family. Also when I'm down there the comedy festival will be on. I flew down specificaly last year to go that and had decided I wouldn't go this year. Then the realitives rang and said come down for Easter. It just happens to be the same time the festival is on and since I'd be there.....
I'd feel a bit guility if I went to something though as I'm only there for three days and no one will want to come with me.
Australian comedy festival?
So what do you do after Paul Hogan's done his bit?

I don't think he's performed comedy since the festival has been going (26 years). I didn't even know until about 5 years ago that he had his own comic show here years ago, never even seen Crocodile Dundee.
The festival is probably consists of more international than aussie acts some years.

I haven't seen the woman who sings it though. I shall now go and seek her out and probably be very annoyed.
Ah, the song is originally from the '60s. Don't know if the ad is using a new version or the old one.
Not seen the advert so I've no idea - I don't think.
Or do you mean "Little boxes made of ticky tacky and they all look just the same?"
If it's that it was a folk song in the 60s which loads of people covered.
Yep, that's the song.
Found it -
This is the launch ad for O2′s new £12 million 'Fresh Thinking, New Possibilities' campaign. The ad features a specially recorded version of the 1960s protest song Little Boxes, originally by Malvina Reynolds and then popularised by Pete Seeger. More recently, the song was covered by a range of musicians, including Elvis Costello, Randy Newman, Regina Spektor and The Shins, for the opening titles of the TV show Weeds. This version of the song, by the Sniffy Dog music and sound design company featuring vocals from Adrienne Stiefel, will be made available to download (watch this space for details), and further versions of the song will feature in subsequent ads.
Bastards!
Is anyone going to make the obvious child porn gag
I would but my standards are to high.

You're 27 love, stop using a child's lisp, stop writing lyrics about fairy dust / rainbows / little boxes and stop trying to make mobile phone contracts whimsical or whatever it is you're trying to flog us.
Take your coloured wooly tights down to Oxfam, buy a hat that doesn't look like a disembowelled muppet and paint your bright green shoes black. It's not 'original', it's not 'kooky', it's just embarrassing.
YES YES YES YES!!!!
Agree 100%
There's one on TV now as im typing this (lovefilm) la la laa la la whine whine aaaa blaaaa
F**k off
So it turns out my flight was cancelled then uncancelled which is why I could still see the orgianl flight for sale. All sorted and am on orginal flight.
The real estate rekon they sent several notices out for months regarding changing of the payment detail.....A pig just flew past my window. I woudln't mind so much except that their tone is clearly that I'm lying when I say I didn't know. Have in the past been blamed for their errors, no apology even when clearly their fault.
MP (Labour) candidates ringing on the doorbell. Feel a bit sorry for them and glad they're putting the effort in, but don't come around uninvited, that just seems rude.

Charity people coming to the door drive me mad. Especially when I have to run down 4 flights of stairs to answer the bloody door! I never feel less charitable than when they knock at the door and try to guilt me into giving to their charity.
