In a message to Anthony about "Moving on out", Geoff said:

AM> That's a tad on the high side, isn't it?

GA> Yeah, Suncorp have much lower rates (it appears to me)
GA> approx $2500 including the solicitor I have to provide
GA> myself.

but they won't give you as much money, right?

GA> They'll give me the money in three months, after I've shown them
GA> my "good savings record"...

AM> Give you what money - the loan itself?  You mean that they want you
AM> to have banked with them for a period of time first?

GA> Yup. That's the gist of it. I asked them if I could call
GA> the new account "The Geoffrey E. Armstrong Extortion
GA> Account", since I was being forced to open and operate
GA> against my will. They said "no". So I said "well, so
long!"

Sure you did... ;)  Don't you know banks don't have that kind of sense
of humour?!

AM> What do you actually do at work, btw?

GA> Maintain and repair AXE (electronic switching) telephone exchanges,
GA> and respond to faults on same and related equipment after hours.
GA> Apart from MobileNet, it's the cream job in the maintenance field,
GA> AFA I'm concerned.

That explains where all the overtime comes from then... ;)

GA> I'll read it at lunchtime.

AM> Yeah, I like long lunches too...

GA> That's why I like the days my boss has off on RDO. It's
GA> like having a second RDO, for free!

Arsehole!
