So let's start a quiz on movies. It's an easy one to start. If you get the quiz right then it is your turn to ask the question. First up Who was the star who played ''Odd Ball" in the movie? Kelly's Heros? One of his sons also has had some great hits. No cheating by using Mr Google. Jay&Dee

The advertisement regarding the electricity bonus, etc., tells you to ring your provider to see if and what you qualify for. So I rang Origin and was told that I was in a queue and my wait time was 39 minutes. This is a great example of the phone customer service that is at our fingertips. I have not got time...
