Insurance on super typically defaults you to a higher risk "blue collar" insurance fee rate and buries the "you can lower your monthly fees by filling out a low risk worker form" info. Because they're copping recruitment cashbacks.

I’m gonna side with ole Top Hat on this one. Why would I hand over money for lovely retail service when I can go home and buy it cheaper on the internets.

He couldn’t look at the one on display? Why does he need to look at one out of the box? If the boxes are sealed are they going to have to sell the unsealed one at a discount?
They didn’t necessarily not have any in stock either.

The producer would have said "do this it's my show" and it would have been done. I'm surprised they did anything at all.

Media Watch gets about half a million viewers more than Bolt does, which is to say it gets about half a million viewers.

ONLY BARRY HALL SACKED?
Andrew Bolt, Herald Sun
June 30, 2018 1:40pm
I understand the decision of Triple M to sack Barry Hall for his horrible "joke". It's got a reputation to defend and an audience to please. But Hall was reacting to some graphic remarks by Leigh Montagna about his own wife and a doctor performing a gynaeacological procedure on her.

Then there was the horse-laughing by the lads...

I wouldn't go to barricades about Barry and storm about political correctness unless you first hear what he said.

(Don't click the link if you are sensitive.)

Sounds like he wants the other people on triple M that laughed at the joke about the doctor to also get the sack which is a reasonable take.

Does anyone actually give a poo poo about the Logies who isn't nominated for one? I feel like moving them to Queensland is a pretty big sign that nobody actually cares anymore (assuming they ever did).

I think people cared in the 70s and 80s before real choice was introduced. I also think Joey from Friends did us a big favour by demonstrating how bad the Logies are.

Wait, did he just do a bit about them, or did Matt LeBlanc actually rock up to one? And if it's the second one, loving why?

The latter, because it was 1998 and alcohol was involved, IIRC.
