Wee aim to please ;-)
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
was watching the news last night, mistake number 1.
There was a hijab / letterbox wearing woman that came to Australia with the express purpose of killing someone to give ISIS glory or something equally insane.
Anyway she stabbed this bloke she was staying with. But the bit that got me, was she was allowed to wear the hijab / letterbox in court. That is just not right IMO. If you break the law and appear before a court you should be made to be publicly recognisable.
This damn country is just too soft and obliging. If you break the rules, you lose the use of some of those rules.
This woman caused the fella significant wounds and traumatised his daughter, but oh no, we can't offend her by making her remove her hijab / letterbox in court. It's all just gone too far all this 'we must be considerate of others' crap.
And that's why watching the news is a bad thing.
could not agree moreQuote:

The owner tells me on Friday that she's decided to close the business, not because of financial reasons but because the sister has now also decided that she's has had enough. She said that she doesn't want to go through the rigmoral of finding replacements, which is fair enough I guess but bugger me, it is a wee bit inconvenient, no nice pay out for me as have only been there 1 1/2 years........ Oh well, life goes on hey.
Going to be in a similar boat soon.Quote:

Looks like 7 guys will soon be unemployed, not happy considering I just bought a new car for this job and sold my beloved Patrol

When I set my business up I had dreams of expanding it beyond just me. Didnt take me long to say bugger that considering all the hurdles put up against business owners. Now settled as a single-employee company. I turn over less than I could if I put people on but earn more than I would if I did, and more than I did working for the man. Unfortunate reality of employment laws. Sorry to hear your news Clunky but can sympathasize with the business owner.Quote:

They want me to carry on with them for the next 2 months or however long it takes for them to sell their stock but motivation has been lost...... Anyway, it is what it is, time to move onQuote:

That's OK guys, I understand, it really is very bloody hard to pick up your cans and milk containers and other crap and put it in your car. You can carry bags of cement on your shoulders but the bloody food wrappings are just too hard.
Sprained my ankle at work yesterday. Ducks I would prefer to be at work than have this crappy injury. Argh

14 cents a litre dearer, how can that be?

Unfortunately Kat its not that hard to get a complete multi repeat script filled all at once. A simple request along the lines of extended remote area journey or long overseas trip is all it takes. There is no compulsion on the pharmacy to deny a request unless they believe the patient may appear to 'unstable - sorry wrong word I am sure' but you get my drift. Additionally I don't know if all scripts are nationally tracked, hence a trip to a couple of different pharmacy's will work also in most cases I would think. Its annoying and in this case no doubt very serious - i hope she recovers.Quote:

He was talking about people smugglers and boat people last night as if it that's front and centre of everyone's minds, maybe it is, but I don't think so.
Massive rain in Nth QLD, massive rain in California, exceedingly low temps in Chicago (-46 I heard with wind chill). Our country I'm sure is getting drier, NSW declared 100% in drought.
Prediction that all insects could be extinct in 100 years, if that happens, we'll be behind them. That's the beginning of the end of the planet's food chain.
But oh no, the scariest thing around is the few people that get here undetected in boats.
I must stop watching the news.
What's the news? Probably irresponsible, but I'm not as depressed as I used to be when I watched the news. Turned it on last week listened to a couple of stories then flicked it off again after 20 minutes off bullshit.Quote:

You're right Avo, spot on. The media so sensationalise everything to the point where I just don't believe anything they say anymore.Quote:

And we no longer vote for the best option - rather we are forced to vote for the 'least-worse'.
If I could get my petrol side of things sorted, I reckon I could get 700 Ks with around $150 with of gas and petrol. Gas @.60c and petrol @1.15.Quote:

My opinion is that this Forum should pursue our common interests.
Whilst Politics affects us all it is a subject that we need not pursue on here.
I know you’re right. More frustrated that people like my sister cannot get the professional help they need until something like this happens, but a junkie can walk into any shooting room for a free fix.Quote:

Its such a massive task with so many different needs and the challenges are this level are to try to capture as many people within the 'net' without too much compromise. the reality, at least from what i am hearing is that the push is manic to roll out something, even to 80%, and then let the ground support workers 'wing it' to fill in the gaps. This is a crazy strategy and my daughter is fighting the system, its early days, maybe the details will be better formulated for a wider demographic, but I doubt it. The pressure is enormous to roll out a system however there are simply not enough people who are both willing and suitably skilled to bring these service platforms to completion, at the required rate. She is going to be working with satellite groups physically from remote QLD/NT to Remote WA - its going to be highly taxing on her and her partner in the process - will see how long this craziness persists before she gets poached by another department and momentum will falter. Right now the NDIS is still in the frontline of the media, however I shudder to think what will happen to all this efforts when the next 'news grab headline opportunity project' emerges.Quote:

Computer shit itself last week wouldn't turn on, $85 to tell me that I'm looking at around $1000 to replace the main board. Stuff that paid that much for it a few years ago. At least they managed to save my files.

What he said. Do it yourself. Building a pc is literally fool proof. If the part doesn't fit, it doesn't go there. The hardest part is O/S reinstall and all programs.
