carbonboy Posted February 24, 2012 Report Posted February 24, 2012 (edited) You got a sensible one there. She's a keeper. I use to work at the Stamford Plaza hotel in Brisbane several years ago. It was my job to prepair the bills for some of the weddings they had in this joint. A cheap one $30grand, some of the more ritzy would top over $80G. This was just for the reception at the hotel, nothing else. Then you had the accommodation on top of this. If your paying accommodation for your folks and the outlaws (ooops, inlaws) and any other relitives, it was nothing unusual for me to prepare accounts in excess of $100Grand. And this was happening almost every weekend. :blinks: This was also in the early 2000's. So a few years ago. No doubt a LOT more expensive now. If you have to get hitched have a civil service in a park, then go to the pub for a counter meal. Thats what one of my mates did and it was one of the best weddings I've ever been to. $80k for a wedding reception alone? Fark...... :o I'm with your mate on this one, a nice simple ceremony with the people that matter. Why blow a heap of money on the actual wedding when that money could be put to better use, like a house deposit, a helluva honeymoon or anything your new life together requies a heap of money for. Which seems to be everything! :yes: Edited February 25, 2012 by carbonboy Quote
B.L.Z.BUB Posted February 24, 2012 Report Posted February 24, 2012 Weddings. B*tches love weddings. imagine the amount of starving kids you could feed with 100k. This is the problem with the world. Quote
Jono.C Posted February 24, 2012 Report Posted February 24, 2012 ^ The problem with the world in my opinion is our government. Any illegal immigrants try and get In, the give them $15k! When there's thousands of homeless genuine Australians and the government does shit all. Quote
B.L.Z.BUB Posted February 24, 2012 Report Posted February 24, 2012 I think you watch too much Today Tonight. That's a shitty attitude. Quote
Jono.C Posted February 24, 2012 Report Posted February 24, 2012 Don't watch any of those sort of programs. Quote
carbonboy Posted February 25, 2012 Report Posted February 25, 2012 Any illegal immigrants try and get In, the give them $15k! I call BS on this one, it doesn't work that way. When there's thousands of homeless genuine Australians and the government does shit all. Agreed that the Australian Government could do more to help it's people, especially the ones who have been royally screwed over in life. At the sametime, some of these Australians need to realise that they are not owed a free ride through life, that they are responsible for their lives, not necessarily the government. Quote

SLO-030 Posted February 25, 2012 Report Posted February 25, 2012 Ask him how much for an hour with his missus. Seriously though..just tell him you're not doing it. Or just charge him 20 percent more than an exhaust shop would. If you don't want to do it, don't do it. More the fact it's after midnight. Some people have to work, luckily I didnt have to work today but trying to have a nap before the 2am arrival of a couple of RC members to my joint. Quote
Willis Posted February 25, 2012 Report Posted February 25, 2012 If you don't mind doing, it's cool. I wouldn't be having though. After midnight and all...At least call at a reasonable hour.... Quote
towe001 Posted February 25, 2012 Report Posted February 25, 2012 After midnight and all...At least call at a reasonable hour.... Agree, at times i feel like unplugging the phones after 6pm and replug them at 5:30pm Quote
Willis Posted February 25, 2012 Report Posted February 25, 2012 Agree, at times i feel like unplugging the phones after 6pm and replug them at 5:30pm Not having a home phone is actually handy at times..As obtuse as that sounds lol. I just turn my mobile off If I don't want to hear from anyone. Quote
clubby2084 Posted February 25, 2012 Report Posted February 25, 2012 Not having a home phone is actually handy at times..As obtuse as that sounds lol. I just turn my mobile off If I don't want to hear from anyone. I agree and I've done the same. No home phone, mobile only. It's brilliant. Quote
