Do you know what it means when you steal the phone battery charger of an IT support person working for an operational federal department (that includes support for systems providing critical real time data for our national airports - have you ever seen what happens when an passenger plane gets caught in an updraft on landing or takeoff…..not pretty).

Especially when it happens that the phone that normally lives in happy co-existence with its little charger friend happens to run out of steam.

And what do you mean holding it for ransom…….I dont even have the backup CD’s you goofball……and if I do (which I dont think I do) it is because you left them at our place?????

And why am I supposed to have to find this information out by reading your blog…..when you take something hostage you are supposed to make an anonymous phonecall or at least leave a message…..not write it in your blog so that the person who has had their stuff stolen searches round the house for hours cussing and spitting and saying “Surely Beth wouldn’t take it, she’s too nice, and even if she did surely she would leave a note saying :

“I know I have screwed you but I am so hopelessly dependant and devoted to my mobile phone (which will never be used to call me in the middle of the night (when there is a massive storm and the Sydney to Hobart yacht fleet are heading straight into it) by some hysterical meteorologist screaming “The servers gone down and I am a teapot”) that I couldn’t live without it for one second and the thought that Mung and Rachel may not have a phone charger was just too much to bear, thus you have to bend over and (to quote a couple of giggling girls) “take it all bitch”.”

Does your dad realise what kind a person you have become? I am sure if he was aware of your actions as you left our apartment on Wednesday night he would have been mortified. You have made him an accomplice to your crime. I am sure the authorities will be most interested in speaking to him when they catch up……

On a further note….what has happened to you since you moved to Queensland? You have come back to Melbourne and gone on a veritable crime spree. I witnessed your actions at Flinders Street Station and now this….and these are only the things I am aware of or have been effected by. I should probably contact Mung and tell him to nail down anything that moves. For God’s sake, leave the pending family alone!!

Perhaps this is research for something to do with your crime fiction passion or perhaps it is something more sinister….whatever it is you need to be stopped.

Obviously the Fitzgerald Enquiry hasn’t stamped out all corruption in Queensland…….

hear hear for commenting on the glut of music like this around at the moment beth !
