Why passing the change baton to journalists is not a good idea - mUmBRELLA:

[I]t’s been a delight to see an internal AMP Capital Investors memo, replete with jargonese, make it into the wild, particularly into the hands of journalists. The fun began ... with an internal note from head of organisational investment Madeline MacMahon, in which she accidentally copied the organisation’s press list.

Go read it... it's pure gold. I think my favourite bit is when the print journos take the piss out of the 60 Minutes journo for only being able to produce one show a week.

This one's doing the rounds a bit... it's an absolute corker of a complaint letter.

AGL is an Australian power company with a pretty poor track history as far as customer service goes. In my case they started sending bills to the wrong address, then cancelled the account when they weren't paid, then started a generic 'householder' account at the real address, then managed to utterly tie themselves in knots trying to organise a bill with my name on it sent to my address.

So I can relate to this letter.

By popular demand...:

Dear AGL,

You may want to sit down. This may come as some surprise to you.

Are you ready?

Sleep Talkin' Man, transcripts of a 'mild mannered English husband' who talks crazy shit in his sleep:

"Forks. Forks to the left. To the left! No, greasy mugs go there. You really have everything ass-fucked backwards, don't you."

"Why don't you make your mouth useful. Say goodbye."

"You've got to save the curtains! Save the curtains... They hold so many secrets."

"Please bounce on my bed with me. Bounce with me. Because there's nothing more romantic than bouncing..... Boing."

"Hey, I've got a great idea. You fuck off out of my life forever. Perfect!"

"Bring it on, King Kong. I'll kick your monkey ass right back to the jungle."

"Imagine waking up next to you every day... One chunder-bucket moment after another."

"Everyday you reinvent yourself into a bigger cock-shite than ever. It's incredible. I don't know how you do it. I admire you."

Now the tickets are diamonds!

So damn true:
