Photo Cropping Fail

Loving the photo cropping fail currently currently on display on the Geelong Advertiser website: The caption reads: “Harry Taylor at Geelong training yesterday.” Harry must be a dentist now, because we can’t show you his face.

Metro Trains Melbourne: Live from 1995!

Melbourne’s suburban train operator Metro Trains Melbourne (MTM) has copped a lot of flack in recent days over its decision to drop sending service updates on Twitter for anything other than “major delays” – which they are defining as “20 or more minutes”. They are telling customers to “regularly check their website” for details of […]

Optus Rewards Website Sexist Much?

I got a whiff of a really bad piece of work from Optus on Twitter this morning, in regards to the registration page for their Optus Rewards website (click image for larger view): Really? “Please select a title and the title should match with the gender.” So a woman can’t be a doctor, according to […]

Trolley Return Fail

Spotted this last night while doing a spot of shopping at the local Safeway. Do you think perhaps it is time for them to empty the trolley return? There are three trolley returns in this car park, and they were all in the same condition. Overflowing into the aisles. Fail!

Another ABC News 24 Fail

Tapping away at my keyboard at work just now, I looked up to the other screen on my desk – (showing some of the outputs of an IPTV solution I am dealing with at the moment) – and I noticed a live prime ministerial press conference on Sky News Australia. It is circled in red […]

No Screwing With My Colours Google!

After seeing a few mutterings on Twitter in regards to Google changing the colours on the various calendars people have set up in Google Calendar, I thought I’d check my own. Yup. New colours. Completely different to my old settings. And you know, it is great to have more colour choices – (previously there were […]

Bad Maths? Bad Information?

Spotted this on the information screens at Melbourne’s Southern Cross Station one day last week. So, it is 10:47am and the Williamstown train is due in six minutes – which would be at 10:53am, right? Yet it is supposed to arrive at 10:54am – an “early” Metro train? Hardly likely. So is this bad maths, […]

Football Really Can Be A Pain In The Ass

Football really can be a pain in the ass, apparently: I suspect they meant “annus” and not “anus”, don’t you think? It has been corrected in the article, but many lulz were had, especially when the photo looks like he might have been having some pain in that area! Special thanks to @trmash for the […]

Anyone For Coffe?

Spotted this footpath advertisement at Melbourne’s Southern Cross Station yesterday. Fail. Just, fail.

Metro Trains Audio Fail

I noticed a woman press the “Next Train” information button at Newport station this morning, and she had this really strange look on her face as she listened. Curious, I went and pressed the button myself, and I discovered the reason for the bewildered look on her face. Listen to the audio below: Seems the […]
