You know, Skynet may have its downside, but I say bring it on. Two weeks ago I called the Commonwealth bank to have my billing address changed, and to ask them specifically if I needed a new credit card sent to me *here in China* before November, because my current card expires "11/09" and I needed to use it *while I was on holiday in the U.S. during November*. Nono, they said, you can use it until the end of November, enjoy your trip!.

This morning, they placed a temporary hold on my credit card, due to a suspicious purchase. Said purchase being ... 2 return tickets to the U.S.

Of course, the plane ticket transaction had already gone through, but the hold prevented me purchasing Amanda Palmer's "Leeds United" for the princely sum of $1.19.
