For me it's either
The Australian Visa - cost about the same as a very nice frame and all I got in return was an e-mail - not even anything in my passport

or

The Freight to get stuff here paid "enough" (very nice full sus maybe in carbon fully built range) and all that happened was 2 blokes turned up and stole all my stuff.

whats yours

Rewire and some structural work done on the flat. Moved out 14 February to give the builder some space/time to do it.

Job not finished after four months 😕 Omnishambolic builder sacked, forced to move back into house without properly finished electrics, damp proofing or bathroom 😥

Hope things have improved for you in oz mikew.

Oh, and at work, a pair of Websense proxies. Cost us quarter of a million and they really haven't delivered on their promises yet despite enormous amounts of effort by my team to try and get them into production.

For £250k I would examine every packet going out and would have brought the wife in and created a load balanced solution 😀
