		<description>I&#039;m glad you&#039;ve found your Michelle and hope things go well.  For those of us without an account manager lodging a complaint with the Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman (TIO) means that you get to call a number at your telco where people are there to (supposedly) help you resolve complaints (i.e., it&#039;s not the usual customer service reps).  I used to think that I would only consider lodging a complaint in the most extreme circustances but the customer service is so bad with the telcos that now, if I can&#039;t solve a problem with one phone call, I go straight to the TIO and get my complaint number.  It&#039;s not perfect but moves the usual customer service nightmare from horrendous to &quot;I think I may be able to cope with this if I have a few more stiff drinks&quot;! Good luck Mr Onthemoon! :-)</description>

		<description>Out of the mangled mess of Australian communications one satisfied customer? And it took a lotto-type draw to strike this lucid reasoning personable switched on person no doubt Aussie-based, accounts and IT savvy. Every reason for Optus and Telstra to now splurge and extend staff training to two per decade.</description>

		<description>Oh...the naivety! #lovelyoptus employ #lovelymichelles to suck poor suckers like you in...them, WHAMO! You mark my words, #lovelymichelle is a mirage...OR she will not be there for more than a month - they will fire her for competency and employ more Bighorn Sheep, Yoghurt and, possibly, alopeciac hair-balls to make their own stuff up.</description>

		<description>HOLD EVERYTHING FD! Why have the T-shirts suddenly gone up in price? I can make a very good guess, but it a devious way to go about it.

&lt;em&gt;[FirstDog - T-Shirts have not gone up in price. They are $30 including postage and handling. If they appear on the site with a different price it is an error, probably based on my not doing it properly.]&lt;/em&gt;</description>
