Correct…..and according to our little local Bottle O Bloke (maybe a rumour) he’s having trouble getting full ordered supply of his aluminium tins/slabs/boxes too [emoji848]

I know aluminium is in short supply. It's all about China throwing their weight around, read an article the other day, I'll try to dig it up, region you'd find it interestingQuote:

Pretty sure I might’ve seen some Bauxite up near Weipa one year, if only we could turn it into something decent ourselves [emoji848]

Tricky one @MB, @rustynail, the likes of the smelters in Aussie dont get much concession regards the cost of power, be it gas or electricity, and currently there is a huge proportion of LPG leaving our shores because the export price to buy is far less than the local purchaser. The govt could fix this in a pen swipe, by tighter regulation and add some protections into the local consumers. The counter point is the country moved into the realms of the global economy in the late 1980's, hence govts moved away from regulators into divesting to private ownership, which of course is profit driven.
The mob I contract to has been in the news of late, deciding to shut down a major fertiliser plant at Gibson Island, due to cost of gas. the supply is avail, simply not economical as a component when the export of fertiliser has to compete on the open market where some countries have state owned and run resource companies and they extract the reserve to death then drag in avail export stocks from other countries, all the time pushing others out of the market. its a plainly viewable situation but again, there isn't a global regulator. I feel for the companies, business owners and employees. Its simply a case of being more bottom line profitable to export the raw materials like iron ore and bauxite to the likes of china then pay the penalty in so many different ways. This market regulation then lands into the hands of the manufacturer - same with oil and the cartel in the middle east - not that the sheiks have enough money now!
Lack of aluminium to put beer in.Too much global warming (cos the green carnts wont allow nuclear power) .fuk all wood to build houses with. Because we send it overseas. Shitloads of animals extinct. Why? Because we breed like fukn locusts, and mother nature is working hard to put a stop to this.
☹️☹️☹️
When will they learn not to trust who they are dealing with?

There are a broad range of views on the issues you raise among the members here, some will agree & some won't, but if you simply resort to name calling & unsubstantiated blame all you do is reveal yourself as someone who is willing disrespect other forum members.
Anyway my response to you is about your on-forum behaviour & how it makes me feel angry about what I consider your thoughtlessness. There are plenty of things many of us here have differing views on but our desire to put our community first ensures that even when angry we try to show respect to the others here around us.
This is not an issue I wish to pursue further, it has the potential to degenerate into an unproductive argument. As I said Be angry - it's your right, but first think if the way you express it is going to get others here to help you or to be helped by you offside.
Hi Cuppa. I apologise if my rant caused you offense. How awful of me to be blaming the greens. Ok, lets be green and shut down the high country cattle grazing. Oops, now we have bushfires. Lets all drive electric vehicles. Cool! When everyone plugs in and draws a shytload of power from the beautiful green wind power and solar sources the whole grid falls in a heap because there is no sun or wind, like SA, well, not the greens fault either. Get rid of that stinky coal, and that nasty nuclear stuff, but keep populating! Wind and solar will cover it! Earth has room for another 5 billion people for sure! Because technology will sort it out soon!
Once again, this is my pessimistic view, and sorry if it offends you. When the planets population exceeds its capacity, and some really nasty stuff starts to happen, feel free to be really offended.
If we had base load nuclear power we would have no coal fired carbon emissions.
For goodness sake Cuppa, if you don't like someone's rant in the angry thread, dont first respond with a belittling comment then follow up with a long winded lecture in forum morals and then say touch, no returns. There are plenty of things I read here that I don't agree with. I just dont "thank" those posts and don't respond. Each to their own, I'm not the boss of the world so feel no need to lecture. You and I have had plenty of times we agreed and liked what was said but we obviously disagree on this aspect. Sorry mate, still luv ya though.
Mickhead, your views don't cause me offence, I simply don't agree with many of them. Refuting your points of view might be lengthy & probably unproductive , and this really isn't the place, so I wont be tryingQuote:

Ta.
No intention to belittle or to lecture Plassy. I only wanted to request that we stick to 'family friendly' As for long winded I reckon you know my writing syle by now. I consider my posts here have been relatively concise! :D Mickhead my apology if you feel I was either belittling you or lecturing you. To have done that intentionally would have been disrepectful & thus 'shooting myself in the foot'.Quote:

Hopefully not a sign of things to come... But shit... 2 local servos out of diesel... 3rd one had it but as per usual he inflated his dollar balloon considering..
I knew that urea shit was hard to find and if you do its in the bitcoin price spectrum. We have vans parked at work because of it.
Ive been laughing at all the new age adblue driven owners currently in hysteria, but i might have to swallow those laughs now considering all things about.

Plenty of good points made in the comments.
Makes light of the joke about Bee Pee. Everyone with the letter B in their name, can line up and relieve their bladders into the Ad blue tank.
Can’t afford but would love to financially own shares in the ‘puter chip’ company that converts diesels simply back to clackers. Aren’t they by honest nature still pistons cranking compression?
Apologies, but I firmly believe that today’s eco engineering is also designed to clap out for profit and would love to honestly see statistics somewhere on faithful engines/vehicles that last decades without needing full replacement carbon footprints [emoji188] ?

Yesterday now, last night was a tad disenchanted after leaving the movie cinemas down in the burbs with our Girls after a lovely afternoon out together.
A 30 something year old entitled ice age group approached rudely asking for cigarettes in the dark bowels of the carpark area.
Might just have to return back alone soon with shiploads of free smokes for them all [emoji377][emoji377][emoji377][emoji377][emoji377][emoji377][emoji377][emoji377][emoji377][emoji377] [emoji23]

Well were do I start..
Had a headache when I woke up this morning, didn't think too much of it and took a couple Panadols. A few hours later feeling fine. Finished work at 1 and the headache had returned but this time with a little friend the niggly sore throat. Drove to get tested and was handed a pack of 5 antigen test kit.
Before getting home my wife calls me to say that a panel of the pool fencing has just exploded..
While I'm cleaning the glass I noticed the water level in the pool was extremely high. I looked at her and asked did you put the hose in this morning? No, why? because the water level is way too high, last night was about 100mm lower..
We looked at each other and shrugged our shoulders and continued cleaning glass. So I finally went in to do my test and it's a positive...

That really is a head twister combo of disconnected problems - hope you travel lightly with the covid infection and secondly get to the bottom of who snuck the extra water into the pool and if there is a link with the shattering.
I heard from my vet that people shit and piss in pools, any change of colour..
Sorry to hear of the positive stay safe and hope the recovery is quick.
Hope for a speedy recovery @jay see John mate.

All the best, hope you get over the covid without dramas! 😀😀😀
Yeah, I hope it's not related in anyway. Makes me think if one panel gave way, how long before another one goes.Quote:
