Thought of that mate. But in hindsight, it was un necessary. Shouldve just left the thing alone. Electrically and physically it was not being harmed at all.... hahahah bloody idiot i am.

Bang on mate.
This thing copped a pounding. Sometimes when hurling stuff onto the roof rack I forget the panel is up there . Once I chucked this massive log up top and it hit the thing smack in the guts and not a scratch was evident.
All good, like for like panel ordered for tomorrow... Learnt idiotically through this one me thinks.... lol.

We had a outdoor table decent size with a tempered glass sat outside at our last place for a few years then transported out for storage and then back into our current place. Table survived years of use until we moved it. The corner of the glass just tapped the post and yeah Hodge just like the movies it turned into a million pieces.

Same thing JC, tipped my outdoor table on its side and just slightly tapped it down. A waterfall of glass came out haha. Gumtreed anothor outdoor table with 6 seats for $30. Mrs says we dont need the seats. I say yes we do. Get the lot home and put the 6 seats on gumtree for $5 each. Bloke comes over and gives me $30 for them. Free table woo hoo! :D

My clutch is slipping.

Is it worn or oil contamination?

Plassy, they are actually 'bean bags, not rubber bullets' - this is a media invention. Rubber bullets are not authorised for use in Victoria i believe.

Cheers PB. But I don't much care about the difference. Firing anything like that at what really was a group of civil disobedients is just so off to me. They weren't rioting, looting or throwing molotov cocktails. They were being rude, disrespectful and offensive for which I can't justify the use of that type of force. Yes bring that stuff out when it's full on anarchy but not for being naughty. Don't get me wrong mate I'm no suspporter of the conspiracy theorists or an anti vax yob. I'm fully vaxxed, follow (most) covid directions, use QR codes etc etc but this issue seriously got to me. Cops got their pants pulled down by unnusual protest tactics and responded incorrectly IMO.

OK, 'some' were throwing glass bottles, some were assaulting police(last count there are 13 officers hospitalised, a few with multiple bone fractures), some were firing 1" ball bearings from sling shots into police, some were vandalising vehicles and property along the route - apologies if i got the theme of the friendly peaceful march wrong. Unfortunately all these 'friendly tactics' get a 'happy rinse' by the press in order to drive a theme. If it was my choice the bean bags central material of dried tea leaves would have been replaced with anthrax. The legislation prohibits the marching as it is a defined public health risk - period, end of story, nothing unclear or interpretive, dont march. If you are unhappy about your loss of freedom. jump onto your limp wristed facebook style outlet - like this - and have a bitch and a moan, send yourself a bunch of flowers, draw some smiley faces on the bathroom mirror and simply harden up. Its not forever and will be over as soon as the group who are elected and paid to make the difficult decisions decide the situation is clear enough to warrant a relaxation of movement. I am looking forward to getting out and about like everyone else, but now, I wait and follow the rules.

The people that do this I class the same as those who try to sell second hand tyres and use their finger as tread depth measurement tool.

My general reaction is very much like the following clip

When we were kids coppers were respected, not treated as punching bags. Now there is a mandatory sentence for bashing a cop. But front up to court, plead drug affected state, poor upbringing, ptsd, etc. and off you go on a good behaviour bond. These farkwits are bashing female cops, police horses, throwing cans at reporters heads, and bashing paramedics… Lets not fark around, use hollow points on these rent a crowd dickwits.

Had oil on the clutch, was told by a mechanic to spend 10 minutes driving with the pedal to the metal and slipping it on purpose. It burned off the oil really well. Stunk bad for a few days. I would only do it if 100% sure though. Otherwise it might stuff up you chance of driving to the repair shop.

Just a generation earlier they got the nickname 'Wallopers' cause you would cop a whack behind the ears for being a tool. Kept a lot of people on the straight and narrow. :)

It’s the work thunder box mate. They buy in bulk from Costco.
And they are quite soft on the toosh too. Thick enough as well to stop any finger protrusion.

Damn & blast! Seems I have become a victim of credit card fraud.

Noticed a transaction on the bank statement I didn't recognise for the tiny sum of $1.37 for an online purchase I didn't make & dated at a time we had no internet/phone reception.

Seemed fishy, so I called the bank & once through their laborious press this for that & that for this 'caller deflection system' I eventually got to speak to someone who immediately confirmed that my card was 'compromised' & explained the tiny amount taken is just to determine whether the card is active, before using it to make much larger purchases.

Ha! they would have been disappointed as it was my debit card I reserve for online shopping, & never have more than a couple of dollars in it except when making a purchase.

Somehow though someone got hold of my number online, AND the chap at the bank knew immediately it was compromised.

The card is now cancelled & I have to go through the hassle associated with a new card number. Could've been worse, but I can't help but wonder why the bank had not contacted me to tell me the card was compromised.

Could it be because the bank got hacked & they wanted to keep it quiet.

Take care folks... they walk among us!

Thanks for the heads up, Cuppa.

Thanks Cuppa. That's a great idea about using a debit card for online purchases and just topping it up prior to spending. Cheers mate.

Thanks Cuppa.
A little while back I got hacked by Amazon , yes that American mob, only a small amount around $20 .
Hit the bank strait away and it was sorted pretty smart. Only problem is al the messing around getting a new card.
I check my accounts daily as one is not that wealthy and I don`t need somebody knocking over what I have.
Even headed down to the local cop shop and reported it.
CASH is KING.

If you have mobile banking, you can set up instant push notifications whenever a purchase is made over $X on your credit card for example.
I had this set to $1 on my credit card and noticed a fraudulent transaction a couple of years ago.
I phoned the bank and had my card cancelled within 20 mins of the transaction.

You can setup two form factor authentication with any banking transaction types you like too, this is the most secure way of keeping your money safe

Yeah, safety can have a double sided sword though. Years ago the ANZ FALCON cut off my card when i was working FIFO after I bought 2 beers at the wet mess for $8 or whatever, and then it was my shout so the next round was about $80. I got the suspicious warning text, and rang them straight away. Kevin in Bombay would not accept the justification and the card was cancelled. i still had to get home with taxis and meals/accom after the roster - no problem said Kevin, you can go to your nearest branch and we will send a card there within 5 working days - well fabulous, nearest is Mt Isa, 3hrs by road, or Townsville, and my flights arrive and leave out of hours - Oh well, we can't help you, but you are protected - Yeah, thanks for that Kevin. Luckily one of the boys had a lazy $500 on him so it was cash all the way. I now have the double authentication set up but still fear Kev and his bird will still strike in the future.

Bloody builders. We moved into our current home 16 yrs ago, built by a brother pair of electrician and builder. Knox Council has rolled out a mandatory pool safety inspection, rolling over every 4 yrs. This is the first inspection since we moved in. The pool area is protected by sliding doors with mechanical latches and counterweights. Its a simple robust system, however the doors must auto close and lock from fully open, half open, 1/4 open and then with the door sitting on the latch/tang. So, took a bit of time to get them 100% functional, booked the inspection, $486. Guy turns up 7 hrs late for the appointment to assess the doors. Every self closer worked 100%, he could not believe how good they were. Then he pulled out his tape measure.
Every single door latch is too low, totally illegal and non compliant - all must be lifted - by a minimum of 12mm in one case. The standard is 1500mm off the finished floor level. The DH builder set the latch heights at maybe close to 1500mm then laid the tiles, so some were not even at the regulation height before the tiles went on. Three big glass and wood doors now have to be reworked to lift the latches, including a standard wet access door into a toilet, again, 30mm too low. The latch cut-outs are big and its going to take hours to resolve, before the cut off of Nov 1. Added to that, he added additional door handles to allow the doors to be opened more easily. The assessment was the door handles need to also be removed so they cant be used as a climbing point.
Then he measures the actual glass /wooden edging width on the doors - tempered glass doors, and they are illegal as well, ledge cant be more than 10mm to stop kids using the ledge to climb up on, and the frame cant be any higher than 100mm above the track, another non compliance. All this was supposedly built and compliant with the regs in 1993, and signed off at the time of construction. the solution for the ledges is to install some 45 deg angle pieces onto the ledges, as a compromise, he actually wanted 60 deg.

Not happy, doors are going to need at ton of effort and then have to be patched up as well. Too expensive to replace as well. I hope this does not happen with the new build.

Phil we don’t even have a pool fence right now and we are to be inspected early November. We need to get our paving done first which won’t be done probably until late November. Gonna be fun when they turn up.
Plus we haven’t gotten our building certificate yet as we still need to get two hard wired smoke alarms in and a water tank installed as per council request. But can’t due to Covid. We are already a month overdue with this.

I can understand your timing issues, but mine is simply poor substandard workmanship and then certification docs you would not wrap your fish and chips in. IF a child had reached up and activated the doors because the latches were too low, the situation could have been tragic. The inspector was practical, fair and pragmatic, however bottom line is, the installation is non compliant and must be fixed. in some regards we dodged a bullet for the last 16 yrs, not of our knowledge. The rectification work is really going to be challenging as the doors have extensive undercutting and rebates for the latching system. Bugger me, just get sick of the problem stuff.

Yep I can see you anger. We have an issue with our current reno, thanks to our builder and his lack of giving a fuck, that we are going to rectify our selves and we will be out of pocket a fair bit. We can argue this and force the builder back to fix it but we are at the point we don't want any trade to set foot in our place for a bloody long time. Haha!


Just another little annoyance in life mate. We'll get over it, and be ready for the next one.

Will do tomorrow Nic, you are welcome to the work, cash all the way, its going to do my head in with the current deadlines and workload. I will flick some over soon. Thanks for the offer.

Texts just sent.

@mudski if he didn’t give a fuck the 1st time around he certainly isn’t going to if you get him back , I know I’d want someone to be held accountable for their bad workmanship but sometimes it’s not worth the drama ,your word of mouth about his shitty workmanship will be good enough

We're not getting him back mate. We actually had the issue "repaired" by a "professional" aswell, all paid for by the builder, and its no better. You live and learn. Trust no one. I was asked by a neighbors and people just randomly walking past our place if they could recommend the builder, a hard no was the response. The overall build is great, we love what we now have, no regrets, apart from our choice in builder lol, it just the unnecessary stress that we had to endure.

Not to mention the bank STILL giving us grief, because of quotes on everything we had to get for the bank, pre covid, now being different. The bank just can't get their head around this and things had changed during the build process. Would NOT recommend Macquarie for a construction loan. EVER!
