Conspiracy Theories - The new Utterly Ridiculous Thread or is it?

[NavyDiver]

I got a Phone call from Australian Immunization Register (AIR) yesterday re an overseas vaccination. AIR asked me to check if a country code was recorded for 3 people ??? AIR staff cannot see it!!!! Discussed a bit before I said yes but I had to call back as I was Driving and not near a computer. I was Given the public 1800 number and assured the "Provider option" would work to help them work out re International Vaccine Certificate Issue they have. AIR cannot view details recorded on the AIR


I checked. Doctor had clearly added country to OS vaccine records. I called and 20 minutes later was being asked to do more for AIR and they didn't know who from them had called me. We did our job- they have issues seeing records and details and ask us to do their job as the system is that **** poor they cannot even see if a country code had been recorded.

OMG I have to laugh some times. Not grumpy with the poor sods working there. We cannot fax details to AIR now, we cannot email details to AIR now. They demand we do it online. They cannot see the online stuff. Yes Minister eat your heart out PS several other Medicare/health areas have worse issues than AIR. Worse the person/people who needed that from AIR should have had it several months ago!! They are not here in Australia and must think we are a joke plus!

A New rule for me- they want help they get to call me back at a time I can help them do their ****.

Why am I not surprised? I always thought "Yes Minister" was a reality show!

In 1970(?) the last DC-6 service ran from Madang to Brisbane. On departure, the captain requested and was granted permission to do a flyover. The flyover was conducted along the runway at VNE (never exceed speed) and takeoff power at an altitude of about ten feet, then zooming up to 500ft before starting a normal climb. According to rumor his termination payment was waiting in Brisbane, as was an air safety investigator.

That was a bit Harsh.


A DC-6 at speed at near ground level? I bet that left a large dusty trail in it's wake with it's 4 fans going like the clappers.

I would like to have seen that.

Three great Actors without doubt. All gone now to the big TV Studio in the sky & viewers will still remember them in years to come, not like some of today's halfwits. I reckon they could have done a better job than your AIR mob, James. Just a thought, you weren't on to AIR Bnb were you?


One wonders whether they were all Classically Trained through an excellent Stage/Acting School?

I can understand that & I would be as well.


How would you like a Surface to Air missile up the jacksy of one's Saucer? I realise they would be well built but come on, a Russian SAM? A piece of ****.


If when, you did hit Terra Firma a bloody great Battle Tank could run you down.


Nope, if I was an ET I would stay well clear until Bo-Jo sorts it all out which could take a little while as he seems to have other problems to sort out first, him being the biggest.




Saw him referred to the other day by John Crace of the Guardian "Toddler Haircut" Oh how I did larf.

Just so. I recall Margaret Thatcher saying something similar. Apparently she loved it, by all accounts.



I liked Jim Hacker's volte-faces when it was pointed out he could lose Votes in a particular area.

He started off with so much vigor for a project & very quickly it subsided.

Reality? Sure was.

IIRC all it took for Sir Humphry to dissuade JIm from a course of action was to describe the decision as "courageous".
