Just put lol at the end of every post as some ppl dont see it the way you wrote it.
I realize no malice was intended but name calling, really thats for the school grounds. Enjoy the forum for what it is
a group of guys who live ,breathe, sleep ,eat Nissan Patrol oh and some eat chilli if you hang around long enough.
Cant even remember why I joined but have found this place amazing for support if Im feeling down, and the amount a new friends is a bonus.
Join in go on a meet up trip, no one bites except Doggie but thats just him lol.

Let me see, what makes me angry is people like this w--ker, not everyone is the expert at navigating this site like you, and not everyone is here for a free manual, I'd much prefer to buy one than listen to peckerheads like you. Stop painting everyone with the same brush your using. :mad:

When i wrote this it was to do with another new member that posted useless dribble on threads dating back to 2010 all in a short time and then stopped at 25 posts.
I did not name the member as I do not usually like to embarrass people but it had nothing to do with you, pity you don't use the same courtesy.

Listen guy's if ive offended anyone I apologize, for some reason that post got right up my nose, this thread is called what makes you angry and it did and if you found what I said was abusive then as I said I apologize, I was unaware that was the norm on the forum, it wont happen again,

Don't worry about it, from what posts you've made, we can see you haven't been dredging up old posts to spam, so I doubt it very much that TPC was directing that comment at you..... Just ignore Bloodyaussie he's just a grumpy whinger who likes nothing better than having a good whinge. Alitis007, well he's just a cock, so you can ignore him too. Nissannewby is a nice fella, so he's ok. Oh and don't take anything that I write for gospel...... I'm just full of shite ;)

Hope you settle in, find your comfortable spot and enjoy what this forum has to offer

Yeah hoping to do the big lap eventually, it's just going to be good to spend some time at home, it's funny that after all the driving I've done I still want to spend time behind the wheel, im just going to love not having any deadlines to meet, Im getting burnt out I think and its time to quit while still in front, ( touch wood ). As far as roadkill goes I just have to remember that the patrol wont handle them like the truck does. Cheers Tony. :)

Driving home from a fantastic, relaxing weekend offroad to nearly be killed by idiots on the motorway on the way home and more than once.

The first incident had 7 cars driving at speed with no more than 4-5 meters between them, zigagging up the highway well in excess of the speed limit. Some dropkicks practicing precision driving or some crap.

The second I was changing lanes, checked the blind spot, indicated, started to merge and a car moved across from three lanes on the other side of the road to pass at considerable speed in the lane I was merging into. The only way an accident was avoided is I swerved to miss the bastard.

I was nice and relaxed. This city is full of fuckwits :(

When it comes to insurance companies you need to remember they are there to make a profit, and paying out on claims isn't overly profitable.

In cases like this you need to be a squeaky wheel. It can take years, but it's the only way.

It probably seems insignificant, but at work I'm now a supervisor. In order to gain this level I have to complete a checklist which includes passing an oral board sit by three higher ranking members. I had 12 months to complete this checklist and I've done it about 8 months later. Anyway, I went to hand my completed forms in and the lady on the other side of the counter said I was a bit behind the 8 ball. I didn't tell her that my old man lost his life to cancer 7 months ago and because of this, I decided to put everything on hold because I just didn't feel stable. She probably doesn't know my situation and how I feel, but I felt so proud of myself for moving forward and getting things done. I felt so happy until those few comments, and now I feel so angry.
I know it's stronger to move on, but how do I make myself feel better about morons and their stupid small minded comments?

Got back to my parents place after the Bearii trip, and visited an old family friend in aged care. She had had a turn that morning but was getting a bit better. I believe the turn was brought on by stressing out over her house, because her neighbour and an associate were caught in the act of knocking stuff off and flogging it.

Yes they are. The diameter is odd on the car they fit okay but the 12 mm I looked at today did not screw on properly at all. When fully on the lug nut "wobbled" enough to say they weren't a match. No other thread would fit the nut on at all.

Macca front and rear studs are different in the length of the nerl IE the bit that goes through the hub.
If you get 3 of each you have spares for the front and rear , even if you snap 6 off on a hub 3 will get you out of trouble.

Sad for Thomas my 12 year old nephew who broke his wrist in two places yesterday.
He had to have surgery last night and spent the night in hospital, not where a kid wants to wake up christmas morning.
Being the great kid that he is, he kept apologizing to his parents for ruining christmas for them.
It will be a hard summer for him as he usually sails competition every week, is obsessed with cricket and is very active, he received snorkeling gear for christmas too but cant do any of that while he mends.
Hopefully they will still be coming to Cape Jaffa with us next week.

Give him a break... he is obviously practicing the W.A. version of merging.

In W.A. when approaching a merge point you MUST...
Slow down,
Stop if necessary,
Straddle both lanes,
Once all cars behind you have stopped only then is it safe to proceed, preferably in the right hand lane and at 20 K's below the speed limit.

At the merge point, indicate and perform a left or right hand turn into the other lane as required.
Straddle the lanes and zig zag to prevent any other motorist from passing.

2010 model. Our first outing with it a few days ago, just 20 kms from home to aquaint ourselves with it. Beats the rooftop tent hands down! Found setting up the tent to be quick & easy. Getting the awning right took a bit of practice first time around. Was impressed by the amount of space inside the tent. Inner spring mattress was pretty comfy. Sat watching the pelicans swimming by MrsTea commented “ I think I could do this long term”. Just as well, ‘cos that’s the plan. ET’s right, we (I) are not the first to fail to secure the front hatch properly. Because it’s hinged at the back such forgetfulness inevitably ends in tears.

I'll probably go the old man emu and get bags iinstalled at the same time. The existing lift was installed by the prior owner using an Iron Man foam cell kit, and from the looks of it caster correction was never installed.

I’ve heard the latest ones are having their hatches fitted with the hingg at the front. This would certainly make what happened to our very unlikely, but apparently it reduces airflow inside between the two hatches & also make cracking the hatch open a bit in the rain prone to letting water in. Haven’t decided which way round to fit a replacement yet. Not sure about an electric alrm, the wires could be a hassle, but we definitely need some sort of check system.

Reminds me of when I was on ADSL2 and our speeds dropped from 12mBit down to 4mBit, coincidentally at the same time Telstra were upgrading the pits in our street for NBN. I complained and complained, got it as far as my ISP sending out a tech to my house. The tech was trying to blame it on me having, or not having, my modem connected directly to the line off the street, as I had it joined with CAT5E and down to the back of the house whee the computer room is. So I told the tech to hook up my modem to the line and he refused saying he was right. Then he had the balls to ask me to sign off on his work. I didn't do so, and wired up my modem in front of him to the line off the street. I gained an extra 400kbps and then he was confident the issue was this, not remembering I was getting 3 x faster than the current speed.
I still refused to sign off on the paperwork, and was told I would get a larger bill from the ISP if i didn't. I showed him the door. Then the sh!t fight began on the phone. I won in the end

just call telstra three times in a month then next time ask for it to be escalated to a level two tech as they are the ones who have years of experience, they mainly send contractors who have no experience unlike the old days. a level two tech should sort it for you without problems.

Dealing with the wife that gets attached to every bloody living thing is the issue.

Sounds familiar. If it lives it gets a name! We had a cock pheasant turn up in our garden a while back, only hung around for a few days, but was christened ‘Phillip’ on day 1. I still don’t think I’ve been truly forgiven for taking Lucy the pig to the abattoir all those years ago, & putting Shaun the lamb on the spit didn’t go down too well either (even though she ate both).

Yeah these girls were called chocolate, licorice and moe. Cupcake is still alive but only just.

Our little girl could pick them up and pay them as they were more like pets than our dog that runs the first sign of an open door.

I am going to miss the double yolkers every couple of days.

I have double yolks most mornings, they just come in their own shell.

My theory is a chook has so many eggs, get a double yolker you get 1 less.

In 3.5 years of having chooks normally 4 or 5 at any one time we have only ever got one double, thought we would get a few more than that!

5 chooks, 4 eggs today... This has been going on for a while, we have a slacker.

Oh yeah they all have names.

I read that it helps a lot to have some method of misting water over them in those sort of conditions. Failing that lots of bowls of water around.Apparently they can get a degree of cooling just sitting close to but between the bowls. Haven’t tested it though.

TD,Gloria was inherited but the folk who bought our farm (along with the rest of the goats, all the sheep, the cattle & chooks) but they decided she was a bully to the to Sloobie, Nibbles, Hazel & Bluebell (she was a bit bossy) & offloaded her to a friend of theirs who also have goats. I was a bit p*ssed off about that, she’d lived her whole life on the farm. I’m going down there to stay at our ex neighbours for the next few days & I’ll miss her being there.

Having to recharge the battery in my inplant that in my right butt cheek.
seeing as the nerve end is moving again , I'll need to see the surgeon
in Feb for my next plan of attack.
The battery needs to be charged every 2 weeks or it will lose its memory.
Seems a waste of $50K cause when they put the electrodes in they shifted the nerve ends
to a new position, it could be a matter of moving them 1mm and alls good, but they are that small
you cant see them. Pretty sure Im not putting up with this pain for much longer though day in day out.

Lost a mudflap, playing in the dunes, so i took the flare off and found some surface rust. I went to the paint shop on Friday and asked if there is a primer that will paint over fish oil. The answer was yes, so I bought the fishoil and applied it to the cleaned up area. I went in today to get the Primer and paint, only to be told that there is no way that you can paint over fishoil. Now I have to buy some Prepsol, some ferronite, some rust preventative primer as well as an enamel top coat.
On top of this, Mrs mudsane is waiting until the Old Trol is back on the road, so she can head to the Big Smoke.

We have sparrows getting in under the eaves somewhere and nesting under the roof, hence sometimes little ones fall down the wall and get stuck behind plaster. Some I can get out pending where they are, others are tough cookies. RIP.
