:lol: D'Oh!



Thank you very much for the kind words, mate. I really appreciate it!

I can understand the cynicism - it's a very weird story.

But it's true. My short-tempered Croatian nan has a bit of form when it comes to going off prematurely and getting everyone involved to sort out a theoretical mess!

How about the time she wrote to (back then) Greater Union Cinemas to complain she wasn't given her pensioner's discount - when she bought three tickets! She bought 3 tickets at the pensioner rate (I think it was half price then) but because it added up to roughly one full-priced ticket, she complained!

God bless her.

Mate it is hilarious!!
Tell us, was it the ACCC who came back to your gran and said 'uhh, you didnt buy anything'. I could picture her with ear horn saying 'whaaaattt???'

I hadn't looked at this thread for weeks.

This has made my day :lol:

Can't wait to see how gran and emjaycee get on on their date.

Haha only my family could be so silly!

Because she's old, and even though she speaks English (though, as you imagine, it's not her nayive tongue), she asked my dad to chase things up after she wrote the letter. He called up, they politely explained she'd bought three tickets - and when my dad tried to tell this to her, she went off her head, accusing the cinema of trying to rip off an old lady.

When they asked her how many tickets she had intended to buy, she answered, "Three."

She has a short fuse and quickly starts threatening people with Fair Trading, ACCC, Ombudsman, etc. because that's the way they do it at home...

has anyone received a text message about an eel for life payment being processed on the 17th June and if so what is it?

I've tried to call the membership team but it's busy.

It's if you pay for your membership monthly via direct debit.

I got the same message, and I pay yearly...

I think someone in the membership office made a whoopsie and hit send all on the text reminder.

Glad im not the only one. I assumed it was a boo boo.

Eele's gran might have employed some russian hackers to get back at those damn eels people :fist:

maybe it wasn't a mistake, maybe it's way to raise some extra cash to get Jarryd back from the Roosters. :sarcasm:
