ffffuuuuuu @microsoft.com, you upgrade all of us without explanation, you get busted, you're forced to apologise & allow us to change back our old plans & you're supposed to refund the difference. But when I do that, you just say we'll change your plan at next year's renewal. Absolute bollocks

Thinking back to first time I ever saw him in a film, Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid. At a drive in theatre with my parents. The final scene left a mark on me, it was the first film to make me realise films were more than just Saturday arvo Lewis & Martin or Elvis.
