    cant be any worse than the electricity company guesstimating my usage based on the same period in the previous year when since then weve gone solar with our hot water. and the electricity provider refuses to come read the meter cause they sub contract and itd be too difficult. and not only that they tell me they cant tell me when the meter will be read next cause... again the excuse is they subcontract so theyre not responsible. bullshit arseholes!!! anyways were living by candlelight and ive dug a pit in the backyard to cook in so...... ;)8-)

    We've got a carbon tax here too - have for a while. It does sweet fuck all, besides making people spend more on the same amount of gas they always used. We have seen absolutely nothing come out of the extra tax grab.

    More government stupidity (or just another way for the evil government to get more money and power).
    The only people we should try to get even with...
    ...are those who've helped us.

    Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.

    Kind of like the world's temperature, CO2 in the atmosphere and ocean levels. I wouldn't be so worried about the lattes. I make my own coffee- it's a lot cheaper that way.
