Well….. bye
OI! Pay up ya’ bloody bastardz. I’ve got child support payments to make.
Arrest, convict and publicly execute all Google executives in Australia to send a message.

Beans McGuire, a resident of Crockside, NSW, interviewed by ABC: “Wot? Focking Gewgowl wants us to pai mowe? Who do thowse blowkes think they are? A bunch a’ craizee Poms?”.

Didn’t they take their guns away in Australia?
Feeling their oats and pushing thei weight around is the surest way to failure. Oddly enough, Sun Tzu sez: “A leader leads by example, not by force.”
Everything in Australia can kill you. The trees, the birds, snakes, insects, fruit and berries, the men, the women, and probably most of the children.
Pay up mate.

I had to get a new one, still a flip phone but a smart phone too since that is all that is available now (turned all data access off first thing), since 3G will be fully gone from my area this coming month and only 4G and 5G will still be available.
I wish analog service was still available so I could still use my old bag phone, now that was a real cell phone instead of one of these toy phones they make today.
