Barls, you can stop them. By legislation, if you request that they take you off their mailing list / phone list they have to oblige. Otherwise, if they continue to harass then you can make a formal complaint to the Australian Direct Marketing Association.
Or, (I wish some people would take this advice) just throw it in the bin or hang up on them!!! Some people make such a big deal about getting direct mail sent to them. It's easy.... throw it in the bin. I can understand telemarketing P'ing people off... especially when they ring at diner time or late at night or don't take NO for an answer.
you want quiet try the samba it takes days for the posts to roll
yeah but thats my gripe for the day just sitting here eating gummy bears and by hell they are addictive ive almost gone through the whole packet

Go for it pyr0!!
With regard to being sent rubbish (adds), I call them up and tell them I don't want it. They usually have such a number. And I mention that we have a "No Junk Mail" sticker, and if I get another thing from them I'M GOING TO COME DOWN THERE MYSELF AND .... oh, um never mind that.
Hehehe, we're struggling with FLuid Mechanics.
Edit: Ah, welcome pyro.

The "No Junk Mail" sticker only applies to pamphlets and such... If the letter is actually addressed to YOU then it's called direct mail and the mail man isnt' going to know that its crap.
As I said.. the best thing to do is send your details to the reply paid address. If you ask them to remove you they have to.
Gummie Bears ?!?!?! Why aren't you sharing?!?!?!

Hey woohoo! We're ahead of tomorrow again!
Nah, I was kidding about the add thing. I'm not an aggressive type. I politely explain myself - after all, the person at the other end is just doing their job.
We're supposedly learning how to use a program called Fluent. It sucks.

I'll pass... thanks anyway Barls. It's Matt that likes the sour lollies. Are they your dinner or desert (or entre??)?
My dinner is a Potato 'n'gravy Mash Snack Stop and Apple Cranberry Juice. Not alot of thought went into this evenings meal.
Mmmm, I am getting hungry. Maybe because I've only eaten an apple since breakfast. I've got another apple here actually. Sounds like nice gummi bears. Mmm, gummi!
Edit: I've got a nice chilli con carne to eat at home...

If I Matt was home I would have had something a little better but cause he isn't here it's what ever was the easiest.
Chat room doesn't work from Uni computers.:cry

Matt can cook. My dad can cook too ( baked beans on toast!). But thursday nights Matt does his own thing and I can't be bothered cooking for myself.
fair enough. i might check up tomorrow when my body is turning up so i can take some time off and work on it

Yeah I do, but we only just now finished working on a tute problem. And that was only because the comp' lab we were working in shut down (I have moved next door). I'll go home and eat something soon.
Look what I just saw: it's a close one.

I noticed it before too! LOL
Yeah a little ahead - fewer views though.
I don't mind cooking, but am pretty crap at it. I have a few standard meals that I can make, and expeditions into unknown territory usually end in disaster - especially if I try to improvise!:puke
I make bread too: usually it's edible, and sometimes it's quite nice.
EDIT: oops, I don't mean to imply that I've ever made myself or anyone else sick from food, just that it's usually not tasty except for my three or four standard meals. The puke icon thing just means it tastes bad... 🙂

I am cleaning house on Saturday and hopefully selling my car.
Sunday I have an all day Scrapbooking thing to go to. A very 'girly' thing to do. Probably the only 'girly' thing that I do.
I'm going out and doing uni work when I wake up. Not that exciting.
Last week was hard rubbish collection - I got a few spare bikes. One was a racer, so I took it's rear wheel and put it on my mountain bike. Yeah the brakes don't fit, and the mudguard had to come off (interference, since racer wheel is larger diameter). But I can go FASTER now. The gear ratios were too slow before. Yeehaa! Hoon time. I think I might go for a ride if the weather's nice(-ish).
