The forking cowardly berk who threatened my wife in front of our house when she backed into the street and hadn't realised he was speeding off a nearby roundabout.
Apparently threatened her with a piece of timber that flew off the roof of the Hilux pictured below when he swerved. If you're a local to me buddy, I will hunt you down like a dog and stick that piece of timber up your arse sideways you piece of sh!t.....
I'd be keen to know if anyone recognized this vehicle....

People who just can't seem to do the freaking speed limit! 60 zones people! Not 50, definitely not 40!! It's not hard!

Oh. And the motorbike who lane split, took off a fast as he could to get in front, and proceeded to do 65 in the 80 zone!

Seriously! I don't wanna hoon around, just do the limit and stop causing traffic hold ups!

[MEGOMONSTER]

A mate calls me out fishing, when I have to stay home and wait for a service guy to arrive (anytime between 9-12).
Then my mate text me just now saying he has bagged out on squid and coming back to the boat ramp already.

[threedogs]

@ Mego go poke him in the eye LOL

[MEGOMONSTER]

@ Mego go poke him in the eye LOL He said he might pop in (TO GLOAT)

Edit: even though he bagged out, they were all small.

So I've got the week off after doing the high country to smash out some house flooring.

And somehow that turned into this...

We are now painting all living areas, have removed all door frames and are flushing them, re doing all the skirt and window frames, and then laying the floor... Lol

[2TROLLFAM]

Growler that's just horrific news for your mate, his family and you guys / family friends. I do however understand completely why you'd be angry at Mr 18!!!

Very sad news mate. And I really know how you must feel, as I had a brother who hung himself.

Welll to make it even worse if that's possible, my mates sister also suicided 20+ years ago after getting involved with some religious cult!!!!

Also we are both involved with MIC (Mates In Construction, suicide awareness program and support) and his lad worked on site with us. I never picked it. Apparently no one did he hid his depression very, very well he seemed like a really happy kid.

I had that happen with the price of the 95 ron imposed on the 91. I had an argument with the worker. I said, "That's it, give me a container. I'm gunna syphon the tank and and get a refund." She backed down and gave me a refund of the difference, but she didn't offer an apology though.

[TPC]

I have never looked that I am being charged the correct price but will from now on.

[MEGOMONSTER]

Missus sent me the photo off FaceAche
Edit: original post edited with name and location.

[Alitis007]

There's a couple of servos in the my area that are out of calibration and a few times the pump has shown more than i filled up i go in and tell the attendant the pump are showing incorrect amounts they ask how do i know, i have to explain to them that i have 125ltr fuel capacity and the bowser is showing 140 ( or there abouts ) ltrs and i'm not totally empty!! They just look at you blankly and say " oh..." And don't do anything about it

[MEGOMONSTER]

Here's another one, but clearly you can see the counter is faulty by looking at the differences in the nine's. One section is stuck open, making it look like a nine when actual fact is a five.

I don't know my missus just sends me pictures. And doesn't tell me the story behind the picture.

[MudRunnerTD]

Would be interested to see that same pump reading after 10lts pumped though? Very strange? Next time I fill I will be having a look at 1lt, 10lts and 100lts. $1.59, $15.90 & $159.

I have called the Australian Wieghts and Measures who will go and test a pump. I called and complained to them aoctober in Geelong. They called me a week later and had done and audit on the pump I complained about and found it to be accurate.

I will be doing that test for sure next time. Will post the pics.

[MEGOMONSTER]

I've filled up 35ltrs into a 30 lt subtank that has never had more than 28ltrs go into it.

My missus also said something about minimum fills for accuracy.

I believe Weights and Measures have a 5 lt testing vial.

[Clunk]

Makes wonder how accurately measured our fuel tanks and senders are too

[Alitis007]

I tried 3 different servos, all 3 times till the light was on before i filled and this is what i got

772.9km 128.15ltrs
778.5km 121.23ltrs
772km 118ltrs
All done in the same conditions. Isn't that a joke !!

Earlier this week, my missus got her work flu shots. Now we're both sick as, I've just got out of bed showered and I'm going to try and take my mum out for a Mother's Day dinner tonight.
Missus is to sick to come out.
I have to take my mum tonight cos my brother is taking her to a restaurant tomorrow with his inlaws and there wasn't any more room for me and my wife.

[MudRunnerTD]

So i parked the GUIV in the SLDI carpark. had the 2 kids with me. Zach had his DS so wanted to stay in the car. I wound down the window to half way, locked the doors and my 8yo boy sat in the back seat playing his DS while i went shopping with my 3yo little girl.

so when i get back to the car Zach calls out the window to me even before i get to the car, "Dad! we have a problem!"

"What mate? quick i have a run away trolley"

"well i accidentally flicked teh fire extinguisher with my foot and it went off!"

"Bloody hell mate! ah well" went to the back of the car and loaded teh shopping in.

Got home and happen to be walking past Zachs door as he was climbing out!!!

"Holy Bat Sh1T mate!!! WTF is that!!"

"Sorry Dad!"

"WTF Mate! The fire extinguisher is Fully Empty!" what a farking mess that is!!

[MudRunnerTD]

He reckons he was fanning the smoke out the window! would have been horrendous! Cant Believe it! He reckons it just went of and did not turn off! Back seat is a write off!

Typical bloody over qualified uni student, apple mac is the best, best of everything, drives a bloody fancy car and makes it known when you ow her money..
Like that $6.68c I owed her last week for cat food...

But heaven for bid if I ask for the money owed to me..
Like the tank of fuel she used while her car was being fixed. Countless lunches we've shouted and food she's eaten while in our house.
The trusty old "um a poor uni student" card gets played.

She's been here 10 mins, drank 2 cans of strongbow, 2 packets of chips, a few biscuits, now howing down the Milo.. And it's every arvo...

I can't bloody wait. Our weekly shopping went up $60-70 a week when she moved down...

Well, if he has been not fit for work for a couple of years, plenty of opportunity to rehabilitate, how can they legally keep him if he needs his hands to work.
Unfortunate, but don't think he'll be able to keep his job, unless the doc says so.
But surely he needs an opportunity to make that appointment with the specialist, cos normally they are not easy to get at short notice.
I wish him luck, and hope he doesn't lose his job.

They need to give him reasonable notice, but unfortunately if he is unfit for his normal duties after an extended period they can terminate him.

It sucks for him but 2 years to get better is a long time

[threedogs]

I've been waiting since September 18th 1991 to get "better" through no fault of my own,
And I'm still hope to find work as a maintenance fitter buy the end of the year;
IMO no such thing as light duties you either can or you can't. plus not fair on workmates on the same pay rate, cause a lot rort the system

[BigRAWesty]

Yea I see both sides, thing is he has been ramping up the work load and can carry out in say 80% of his duties.
I think his only activity restrictions now are limit the long period of hand tool use, so 8 hours on a glider sorta thing.

Anyway yea I would have thought he'd need some sorta notice, nit a call at dinner..

Seems sus to as we are currently undergoing an eba where they wanna screw us, remove our morning smokeo and cut the 20min lunch to 10 and have us work back 10...

Seems sus to as we are currently undergoing an eba where they wanna screw us, remove our morning smokeo and cut the 20min lunch to 10 and have us work back 10...
And this bloke is our no.1 union rep...

Sus

That sounds really sus. He should know they need to give him notice then. I didnt see in my earlier comment that he was working, i thought he had been at home the whole time. Since hes working, thats pretty much unfair dismissal.

That's what I was thinking..

[SonOf]

That's what I was thinking..

They cannot dismiss him because he does not upgrade to PID,s. That is illegal in any state under w/comp. Depending on the state there are rules to let a worker go if they cannot perfor their PID,s and thereare no alternate duties. 2 years after surgery for both hands is not unusual though.

I say 2 years but they did one at a time so he still could carry out duties easier.. So oops were spaced about a year apart. So first hand is about 2 years on and second about 1 year, probably less..

Yea I'll see how he is in the morning..

Always wonderful knowing your a valued employee...

So had a bit more of a chat and there is a bit more to this.
Our jobs have changed hands a little under a year ago, some of you might have heard of GUNNS timber..
Anyway his workcover is under GUNNS, and there is loop hole where the purchasers of the business cam either take on or pay out the employee..
So that's where he is worried..
But the catch is its been nearly 2 years since the take over. So you would assume they have "taken him on"..

Anyway, interesting times ahead..

Yup heard of Gunns, living tin Tas we all have. If they have not got rid of him and he had the 2nd opp while on their watch he would have a pretty good case. As for time frames, most specialists will not give a final until 12 onths after that type of operation. He needs to reach what they deem as MMI or maximum medical improvement. Only then will the Doctor give a final certification. Once he gets to MMI, he can also be assessed for whole person imparement as well.

Took the troll in to get a wheel alignment as it pulls to the left a lil bit, also getting some wear on the front left and steering wheel is about 10degrees to the right (stock height no lift). Bloke says yeah we can sort it out. Pick the car up and he tells me the alignment was already good only made a very slight adjustment and can't straighten the steering wheel. Says I have to take it to Nissan to take the steering wheel off and put it back on straight. $89 down the crapper.

Been on the phone this morning to the Solicitors regarding the amount of time QBE have taken over my next Op.
All they suggested is fill out a conciliation form and go from there. As a member here suggested.[Mudnut]
Next I rang QBE not to talk to my case manager but to his boss, anyway got onto someone who said they would look into it and ring me back. WTF
In 20 odd years since my original injury no one has ever rang me especially QBE, still early in the day so we'll see. He sounded sympathetic to my cause
and was at a loss why its taken so long, seeing they lost all paper work and left it up to me to trace lost faxs etc. What a joke the "work care" system is,
they have till 5 this arvo.

Then I find out, they were the ones who double parked in front of me. Then one of their wives or whatever walks out of the shops with about 10 kids hanging off her, and they all just cram inside this little 80s laser. No child seats or anything, youngest one would have been about 2 I reckon.

Not Good to hear Craig.
Seriously mate, dunno if she's heading to Melbourne or Adelaide but unless she has VCE she will most likely not get a job (Melbourne is no place to be jobless). It is a such a competitive job market that unless you know someone or have completed VCE......put it this way, even at my youngest and most stupid I wouldn't be doing it.

[cgm]

... At least she has a place to stay, with close rellies. ...

This bit sounds good. If she's at least gonna be looked after, it might not be so bad. Maybe she just needs a bit of space and time to see for herself that it ain't easy? That might be the motivation she needs to do some more study or whatever it is to prepare her for what's next? I think it is pretty tough on young people to know what to do, especially now that any old work doesn't seem to be as easy as it used to be. Before you could just get something for a job. It was usually crap and good motivation to do something more to prepare for something better. Hopefully either with or without work she'll come to find something to motivate her :)

I hope she does find something she likes, and enjoys doing. Life is too short to be stuck in a job you hate.

I then email the company because I paid for priority mail and it was sent regular, also that I had not received a reply from my previous message. The reply was an apology and an offer to send me another booklet of my choice free. A good offer as they are just over $20 each.

It is a small aussie company and the issue was a difference of $3.00 worth of postage. I appreciated the offer but I decided to put a counter offer. I would pay for another book and they pay the postage, a very fair offer. They agreed and said to pay them when I received the book. I assume they trusted me enough to stand by the agreement. A couple of days later the guide book I chose was delivered. I immediately transferred the money into their account, and sent them an email about the transfer and thanking them.

I expected a reply to my email and a thanks or something. I Never got a reply.
Maybe I am old school, but if it were me I would have had replied with a "thanks".
Now I have got that off my chest, I can let it go.

Repairing everything! Nothing is made to last anymore. Just spent a thousand dollars for new Irrigation controller, new auto gate circuit card, new 12v motor for the warn winch (old one repaired but didn’t last) and new battery charger for the camper trailer. All this, and nothing really new, just replacing what I already had that went wheels-up!! Two steps forward, two steps back. Oh well, got a month at Kakadu coming up shortly, will make me all better:hpfredgeorge1:

The w***** in our court, and his cars are doing all the residents' heads in. It's getting heated as a few people approached him I believe and obviously were confronted with a very blunt response. He is fixing or tuning a WRX with a blown engine, and with the biggest exhaust he could weld on it, and as some of you know those boxers with a large exhaust, are like a mining spec rock drill going full ball. The most recent disaster is a huge oil spill/trail all over our court, and leading onto the main street. BA if you trol spins out of control, it's because of a few liters of shell helix all over parklands drive. One of the neighbors rang the cops etc, and was pretty much told to harden up.
Something is gonna give way soon as tension is building.
This is the oil burning wrx, and what our streets been like lately. Can't see 5m ahead of ya.

Dontworry about the coppers, get onto the EPA

[Bloodyaussie]

The EPA has more powers than the police and you can register with them to report littering and smoking cars and so on... I am registered with them.

[NissanGQ4.2]

Fark head drivers especially the ones on the M1 Pacific Motorway (F3 Freeway) doing below the speed limit in the fast lane and ones that pullout to overtake the car in front then don't pass them!!!!!

And them drivers that sit at 70k's on entry to a freeway and try to merge with cars on the freeway doing 110k's

[AB]

Punching 130 eyelets...this job sucks!!!

This my friend is the one and only reason our freeways here are totally farked!!! I swear no matter what freeway, what time of day, there is always some cockroach up the front crawling his way to the end of the onramp and then panics when he/she sees traffic at the end flowing way faster then they're going. So so frustrating!

[threedogs]

Cops wont do a thing a drug affected goose came here one night and attacked my sons Commodore with an iron bar every panel every sheet of glass.
We just watched as this guy was out of control big time he would have killed IMO. Cops took details but nothing came of it He's still around.
I hate it like everyone else, give me 5 acres by a river no phone just a log hut and a dog and a river close by.
Problem for most is we cant afford to move, but like Hodge something is gunna give and give big time

Yeh I hate when I get caught behind someone like that and have to be on the brakes entering a freeway when I want to be at 110 so I can merge in properly. What also sh!ts me is those that are in the slow lane and won't move over into the fast lane ( when no one is there ) to allow you to merge in freely.

Have a similar problem turning out of side streets onto our highway here ( 80kph ) dual lanes no one in the fast lane but they stay in the slow lane so you have no change of getting out of the side street and onto the highway and you just have to sit and wait until there is a big break in traffic.

In your knicker drawer? Lol

[AB]

Just trying to put on some of johns front recovery points and a couple of the threads on chassis are stripped from previous owner.

I forgot about those!!!

I'm guessing the only solution to be safe is drill out larger threads for bigger bolts?

What else can you do? Helicoil wouldn't be safe...

[growler2058]

Retapp it...

[Winnie]

If you tap bugger holes won't you have to drill out the recovery points? That won't be easy, I'd retap the threads the same size

[AB]

I'll have to have a look but the threads are pretty much gone to the point where one holeis so bad the bolt just slides in and out.

Can't see any other way apart from going bigger.

[mudski]

Make up a plate with the right size nut welded on it, knock out the fubar nuts and slide the plate down into place. Like I had to do on my GU. Have a look in my account profile I have the build thread on how to do it

[Hodge]

Anger is understating how one feels reading stuff like this each morning....
Taken from 4WD TV Facebook page.

"WARNING. There is a gang stealing Patrols on the west side of Melbourne. There is a huge black market in apparently shipping the engines and parts to the middle east and I ma shocked by the number of people losing their pride and joy around Melbourne. This gang is professional, quiet and good at what they do...please be mindful of where you park at night.

This Patrol was stolen just over 24 hrs ago...if any one sees or hears of anything please let us know."

[threedogs]

@ Hodge are they only targeting the 4.2 diesel
Seems strange to target the GU its still made and parts are available everywhere
There are better motors than the ZD30

[Hodge]

Yeah I know, but irrelevant what motor they're targetting it's still a pathetic act. Low life scum.

You can get the bench mounted, lever operated punches pretty cheap

[AB]

Yeah I can't at this point as the bags are already made and need to slide the bottom side punch inside the bag itself...pita

Hmm... Bugger. Would a long reach one make it?

[threedogs]

Had to happen first flat tyre, where you ask? in my carport,
how you ask? ,my son Gernied the carport floor blowing old nails everywhere
from when I removed the lattice and replaced with shade cloth,
Now I have to wait till one of my sons changes it for me as its impossible for me to do ATM
Not a happy camper, sometimes they just don't think even though
they have been told a thousand times

Were they meant to pick the nails up after you removed them from the lattice?

[AB]

Look it could but I would have to fold the entire bag inside out to have it sit flush.

It's hard to explain...lol

Basically the labour involved in preparing each bag for the press would be more labour then just sticking your hand down the bag holding the bottom punch and make eyelet.
