Welcome...
This is just a placeholder. If Qantas is as bad as it sometimes is when I start to use them more frequently, this will be the spot to have a whinge!

About Me
- Name: Connex Whinger
- Location: Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
An extract from my first post best sums up what this is all about.
"Perception is reality" was one of the many glib phrases my ex-boss used to regularly use. Well my reality is that I have never had a full week of the train that I want to catch running on time. Let me rephrase that somewhat inelegant sentence - I don't believe that of the ten scheduled trains that I would wish to catch in any given week, all ten have ever run as scheduled. Ever. In over four years of commuting on the Sandringham line, my perception is that at least one train per week is either delayed or cancelled.
That's probably a pretty bold call, so to turn my perception into reality, I plan to keep a diary for a while and we'll see how often Connex can deliver me a full week of reliable services. Yes, I know that's a little self-centred, but isn't that the whole point of blogging?

I'm awfully sorry old chap, but you simply don't qualify if you don't sport epaulettes on your shirts, not to mention waxing your moustaches!!
Good luck with the new blog - Pip! Pip!

Do you mind if I have a whinge on your behalf?
Particularly this morning when Canberra was fogged in, so our 7.30 flight from Melbourne for a 9.30 meeting was delayed for an hour and a half before they finally said they had no idea when we would be able to set off with some certainty of being able to land.
At that point, the 9.30 meeting being beyond salvaging, we called it a day and headed back to the office. Not before trying to arrange a refund. We were informed that we couldn't get a refund for fog.
Pity we hadn't been flying Virgin- According to a colleague who was also supposed to be attending the same meeting, they had the courtesy to cancel their flights.
Cheers

When you start this thing up perhaps you can comment on how great Qantas are with their customer service. It was exactly what I was thinking as the snippy hosty snatched the cup out of my hand while taking my rubbish on an Adelaide - Perth flight this week. Such a treat the Qantas customer service is.
Understandably, there are lots of things to whinge about (take, for instance, your local council). I'm thinking of starting a government-decision whinger...
Anyone care to express more subjects to whinge on?
