    Default Bloody hypocrites

    ACA have got a nerve running a story on landlords using hidden cameras to check if tenants are trashing their (the landlords) properties. Bloody hypocrites, they are the kings of the hidden camera, trying to catch people out. Journalism at its worst.

    Yep, what he said. Stopped watching around 15 years ago.

    They endlessly cycle between dodgy Landlords/tenants, dodgy tradies, hoon p platers, best dishwashing detergent (etc), the con man stealing ladies hearts and how to save $$$ on your shopping/bills/kids education. Did i miss any?

    I am always amused by all these people complaining about programs like ACA, seems to me they could easily avoid getting annoyed by not watching cr*p like that.

    Oh Yes, of course. Imagine what they're going to do with the recent WHO classification of bacon as carcinogenic

    My days are so much happier since I started spending more time in the shed, reading some really good novels and only watching the good sporting coverage and some travel shows. Stopped watching all the news, current affairs and the rest of the drivel years ago.
    Makes you a lot happier and far more positive.
    Cheers, Fred

    Wasn't watching it Fred, it was on in the background in the family room while I was cooking tea in the kitchen. One of the disadvantages of open plan houses. Just heard snippets, not the whole story

    GJ. The only safe place is back in the shed with plenty of noisy activity.

    Calling it journalism is giving them too much credit.

    Half your luck, it'll be busy in the High Country as the tracks open this Melbourne Cup weekend. Enjoy.
