I am going through a strange metamorphasis - this being my 666th post. I have been such a sweetheart in the past but now I'm going to tell it like it is. These are the things that get my goat in the forum and in PG and the world in general (hahahahhaaaaa snort)
 
 
When someone posts a long detailed explanation for an opinion of great relevance establishing a logical and well thought out argument for a certain point of view and someone replies, "I like the putting as it is"
 
The incredible balance of the avatar dude when his body is tilted at 45 degrees on the side of a bunker.
 
Waiting
 
Nobody agreeing with me.
 
The dude. Incredibly bland and lacking in personality who looks exactly the same as everyone else on the circuit as if they all come from the same college with the same barber. 
 
The dude's appalling grip. I don't know how he can rip the ball 285 yards down the middle with that grip.
 
The male only Golf Clubs.
 
Trees
 
Links tragics
 
Lack of real names of golfing greats or even not so greats.
He could at least present his name as    I. Will Ghutieau.
 
Magic eye in the sky cameras 
 
Lack of Australian Lidar
 
Time Zones
 
Australian internet. Greed, gouging, outrageous prices, appalling service, Fibre to Node ridiculousness. Australians are victims of some of the worst service in the world. I could go on and on but even though this is my 666th post I can't speak about my contempt for the Australian corporate environment without being gaoled (jailed) for subversive left-wing propaganda. 
 
Lack of satire
 
Lack of irony
 
 
 
Apart from that Perfect Golf is the most wonderful, innovative and enjoyable computer game of all time with a future that will be unprecedented in sports simulation. (hahahaaaahaaa)

Good read, Teddy. At least you are never boring. What valiant resilience on your part against all these vicious aggravations, though.

I'm afraid I can't follow suit and post my goatgetters, they would probably ruffle too many feathers and be answered with the one, purely evil comment I do not want to see EVER around here: TL;DR

When someone brings up a touchy topic in someone else's thread and completely derails it

Example:

Let's say I'm in Ted's rant thread and I start wondering if we won't see another update until the Linux and Mac problems are figured out

I hate that😬

I'm hearin' ya Teddy, how does that bloke maintain perfect balance at 45 degrees without tippin' over. I go out for a few drinks get to about 10 degrees and LOOKOUT over I go. He's amazing.

Also Teddy I hear today that Australia is ranked 44th in the world for internet speed. Not Good Jan. But with respect we are a huge country with little population. The higher ranked countries were those euro countries that have land masses the size of my back yard. Like seriously.

They screwed a blank plate over my phone jack at my new joint before I moved in Sir James. I'm too scared to ring up Telstra and ask how much it is to get the jack replaced and get me connected to ADSL. I can't afford to faint at my age - I might never wake up. I can only get the 3G network here as well. It's the downside of living in the smallest seaside village in NSW right on the beach with whales leaping and where I get angry when I see another early morning walker two kilometres away on MY beach. It's like Pitt St in the holidays. There might be four people in the distance. Outrageous.

On point 1 - hey, that game has been a tank.  Kept golf alive on the PC for a decade.

 

On point 2 - I'm asking around re: .gov email addresses to see if signing in on Geoscience with one will yield results.  I have a few engineering type pals that might have ideas too.

 

On point 3 - it's strange.  During the day on NBN I get great speed.  At night, I guess everyone has Netflix/Foxtel fired up because I can't even watch a YouTube clip without it lagging.  At the moment I kind of miss good stable ADSL2.

By the way, Geoscience, as expected, didn't get back to me regarding opening up LiDAR to non-gov people.

That's a bit of a setback.
