ATO lies

Thank you for holding. Your call has progressed in the queue. You will be answered by a service representative shortly.

ETA: 47 minutes, and yes they were experiencing technical issues. I could feel the relief on the other end of the line when I expressed sympathy rather than rage. Poor L sounded very out of breath but was lovely and helpful.

I may yet express rage to the person who wrote the hold message. "Shortly" my arse.

Hmmm, clearly still watching too much Star Trek. "Catspaw" had terrible continuity errors with the two completely different stunt cats. "The Doomsday Machine" had some particularly attention-grabbing physics (and organisational, dramatic and production) problems, but not a bad script on the whole.

We've ah, bought the first five movies on DVD using Christmas vouchers.
