Problem with the OS shop

[nicolai]

I'll cut a fairly long story short. Christmas time each year normally comes with me receiving something to do with city, but over this year and the last something seems to have gone horribly wrong. Last year my gf bought me a whole load of stuff through the OS, but at the time of purchase a few warnings came up, nothing actually went wrong at the time and the purchase was made. However 2 weeks later she received a call from her bank asking if she had been overseas lately, the answer was no. It turned out someone had actually taken her details and tried to empty $2,000AUD from the card. Luckily for her (I'm not sure if you have them over there) her card wasn't actually a credit card, it was just a visa debit card with credit functions (buying over the net and overseas etc) so no one was able to actually take the money.

Anyways, I just received a call from her saying she was on her yearly shop and it happened again. This time the warnings were more severe and she didn't follow through with the purchase as her computer crashed and she was given a virus. She says this happens when she chooses the shipping location, so I'm not sure if this is only a problem for internationals. Hopefully with the fact that she didn't actually follow through with a purchase, nothing will happen to her card again.

I was just wondering if anyone at all has had any similar issues or knows of any?

Thanks in advance

Hi mate am in Melbourne from Xmas day till the 28th! any ideas on good places to watch the matches?

Most places tend to stick with sky 4 matches, especially if it's a multi match, but we are getting alot of coverage this term. The only way right now that I could say you're absolutely guaranteed to catch the games is to meet up with someone and watch it at their place. I'd love to offer you that, but currently I'm in a garage waiting for renovations to be done to the house, so it wouldn't be the nicest of experiences :P

Closer to the day though, something may come up. Just make sure you're capable of being up at ungodly hours of the morning. The Arse CC match started @ 6 am yesterday morning, I ended up sleeping all day afterward lol. Unless you're here already that is? (in aus)

edit: Wolves game on the 28th will be a 6:45 am start on the 29th here, and the Stoke game on the 26th will be a 2 am start on the 27th (I think)
