So this is the Bar so to speak...

[Ekka]

OK, here's a good one.

Who has noticed that Hungry Jacks new menu board pricing is all for small meals now? Good con job hey.

Seems to me that the price increases over the last year are shockers, and if you shop you'll notice stuff like Smiths 250gram chips went to 230gram, to 200gram then 175gram.

The rip offs are over the top and they're getting away with it.

[JayD]

Yeah I have noticed this trend you get less but they want more...alcohol, lpg, Etc etc...But we still buy it!

[Done it]

[newguy18]

[Q.Q.]

Havn't posted since August, been busy. Wedding was good at the muster. My wife is due with our first this Saturday.Don't know what it is,left that for a suppize.

Have now gone full time with this bussiness hope it works,if not oh well just get another job somewhere.
Good to be back on and talking,and learning more everytime.

School god how I wish I was back there and applied myself a little more.But work at the age of sixteen was a far more important thing.Funny how,well you carn't even wipe your arse without that elusive dollar.

Chipper's been busted so have been cutting it up with the gas axe,welding,replacing bolts,replacing rusted sections,feed bearings ect.No manual at all fugureing it out as I go.

Work's been quiet,got me worried a bit.All the repayments on one wage,but the higher the bar, the harder I go.

[newguy18]

I left school when i was 14,been working some kind of trade since i was 12.
Believe me goign back to night school was definatly not my idea.

[Q.Q.]

Well just being there wasn't my idea in the first place.Couldn't leave until I had finished grade ten,I think that's the law here.All I have ever wanted to do as long as I can remember Is work.
Would be happy if I could I try my hand at everything before I die.

Tradie,shit over here they scream for them everyday.If your qualified and can work your set.That's why we import so many I think.

[newguy18]

Oh man,from 12 up i've been doing somesort of wrenching,construction,most recent is treework.T 14,just before i left school a master electrician taught me how to wire up a house,breaker panel and all.

[Q.Q.]

Got about four or five company's of lecy's in our town of about 2000 carn't get any of them.All too busy.Always contruction work over here,city's and coastal.

[newguy18]

I only do it for myself anymore.Talk about expensive insurance,i was thinking of doing it for a living at one time.

[Q.Q.]

Carn't be any worse than tree insurance can it?.

[newguy18]

This was 6 years ago in akron ,ohio.749.99 every 3 months.

[newguy18]

[newguy18]

Just for Ekka.

[Ekka]

Bill, your pictures are getting better. They must be out of a phone camera right?

Looks like a nice open tidy place there.

Q.Q,

I dont know how you get enough work out bush in a little place like St George.

[newguy18]

Maybe it's the six double whiskeys you had for breakfast

[newguy18]

Nope.pot of coffee every morning for breakfast.I drink it by the glassful.

[ArborealTerror]

A whole pot of coffee every morning. No wonder your hands shake.

[newguy18]

No my hands shake bbecause one got ran over by a tractor a few years back and the other one got crushed by a cow stepping on it and boy genius here won't go to a doctor to save his life.The only thing coffee helps with is my hypertension.

[Ekka]

Hows this.

Group of people (syndicate) win lotto, over $1/2million bucks. Then a waste of space loser who didn't pay up their fare share sues ... what a load of crap.

Logan Hospital colleagues fight over frozen lotto win | The Australian

Syndicate organiser Kistamma (Kris) Hodgson said that particular colleague had not paid up for months and therefore should not share in the spoils.

"If you don't pay and when you win, you want a share, where is the justice?" she said.

"Why should we pay someone who doesn't pay?"

With lawyers now involved, the group's winnings - worth $571,428.58 - have been put in Ms Hodgson's solicitor's trust account.

Ms Hodgson said the money could not be distributed to herself and the other six deserving syndicate members until the legal dispute with their colleague was settled.

Pay up or piss off is my motto, money talks and bullshit walks.

[Q.Q.]

Yep I agree Ekka. If he didn't put anything in why should he get anything in return.

So how was everybody's day today??. Good I hope.How was mine you ask,glad to here.
Well you will never guess what I did again today.Spent nine hours on my hands and knee's weeding a lady's garden,out of all the jobs I do this I carn't stand. Especially when I have done it on this one twice before.

Buy the way I forgot to ask did any of you go to Arbor camp at Mt Tambourine? I went with the wife and it was great.Fun couple days climbing,mostly drooling over the stumpman,bc1800 with the winch,oh yes and of course the cherry pickers.Will be putting in the lotto ticket this Saturday for sure.
