Is that the P76

I can beat that gripe...For 14 years now living in Melbourne we have had Braemar ducted heating and now wishing we were on the Sunshine Coast even if it is overcast. Every 2 years the Braemar unit breaks down with the main circuit board failing. Now get this, it is always within a few weeks of every 2 years, it is always on a Friday evening leaving us without heat for up to a week as the Braemar service don't work on the weekend and it is always the Friday before a cold snap. Two years ago we got sick of it so we replaced the whole unit with a brand new one...it is 2 weeks short of 2 years and it failed again and again on a Friday and again just before the current cold snap. The only company allowed to fix our unit due to area ownership is a company called Darebin Gas who always come out and say some crap like water had got into the system so they don't have to fix it under warranty and demand payment up front of about $700. If I decide no I want a 2nd opinion I can't get one and I have to pay them $150 call out and they leave the unit in pieces. Well, today I finally got the company that installed the unit to come out and check it and they say the electronics board has failed and there is absolutely no water in it, no marks of any kind of previous moisture so the unit being only 2 years old is under warranty and they will advise Seeley/Braemar. But also get this, the unit comes with a 5 year warranty. However if the unit was 4 years and 50 weeks old and the electronic board fails, the brand new electronics board they put in only has 2 weeks warranty even though when the unit was new the electronics board gets a 5 year warranty. There is something very very wrong with Braemar and Darebin Gas...there is something very very wrong with a unit that fails every 2 years almost to the day, always on a Friday and always right before a cold snap. Figure that one out...do I have a GRIPE?

That's like when I got into a lift in a car park and each button for each floor was also in braille...a car park?????

OH, it is in braille...doh

I don't get it...is that a shark in the mirror or am I missing it

Yes but haven't you heard about the marble jar? If you put a marble in a jar every time you have sex before you get married, then take a marble out for everytime you have sex after you get married...when you die you will still have half a jar of marbles

Th cops came around and dusted for prints so hopefully they will catch them but I have to try and get Caitlin a new Laptop urgently so she can keep going on her uni studies, she has uni all year round and has just started her next 2 subjects so has to start her note taking again and catch up...the funny thing is that if the bastards start her laptop they will see all papers and video lectures on Criminology and Criminal Justice

The scum of the world paid my house a visit yesterday...the wife got home after picking Lachlan up from school and found the front door open. Inside all the draws and boxes had been upended and the place was a mess. Caitlin's laptop with all your Uni work on it was gone, the video camera with all the tapes of the kid's christmas videos gone, The biggest strange thing was that all Corrine's perfumes were gone. All her jewelry was gone including family heirlooms. Lachlan's MS Surface Studio was upended and if you have ever seen a Surface studio you can understand why they probably couldn't remove it...Lachlan wants to be a graphic designer and the Surface Studio is a massive multi tilt drawing screen computer but Corrine's old Samsung tablet that we use to Skype each other every night was gone. The worst thing is that with all our renovations going on (the house changing every week) and that 95% of the time there is always someone home we are not insured and due to rooms being re-plastered and roof work we had to disconnect the alarm system for the time being. Guess what I am doing this weekend while I am back in Melbourne, alarm system and buying a video system as well. Even though our doors have massive pin locks that go up into the wall if someone wants to get in they will...with a crowbar: [ATTACH]49708._xfImport[/ATTACH]

Nev, actually I try my best to conserve fuel with the Mondeo but it is all little driving like side streets, picking up Lachlan from school, going to the shops etc so you must be doing some freeway driving but still 1,100 kms on freeway is a lot to get...I set the cruise at 115 when on the freeway which is real ground speed of 111 and get around 1,000 klms. Which model do you have?

I am having my MD Mondeo Titanium Wagon (2lit Turbo Diesel) serviced today by Courtney and Patterson so they gave me a V8 GT Mustang to drive around in for the day...WOW, you certainly know you are driving a V8 with the sound of the exhaust. It doesn't have all the luxuries of my Mondeo Titanium as they are replacd with all the sports look and feel. As a day car I would stick with the Mondeo but if I was a real rev head and extreme motoring enthusiast then I would without a doubt go for the Mustang. Fuel comparison would be chalk and cheese as with the 2litre Turbo Diesel Mondeo I can get up to 1,000 klms per tank on the highway and around 8litres per 100klm around the city, with the V8 Mustang just driving it back home I was getting around 13 litres per 100klms but I can't help wonder whether that was either normal or just me realising I had a v8 under my foot. The price difference between my Mondeo and the V8 Mustang is around $20k so one would have to really question how much you are paying for the name or dare I say Tradition given all the extras in the Mondeo. If the Mustang had all the same extras as the Mondeo and you were paying extra for the V8 then yes, maybe, it might be worth it just to have a Mustang but I would need to be rich or severely dedicated to get one. Having said that I would really really like to have one...and Corrine would swap her Comfortline Golf for a V8 Mustang without blinking

My daughter Caitlin didn't get that...the youth of today!!!

That's right, Dragnet...I knew I had heard it before many years ago but couldn't put my finger on it...thanks @red750

My daughter Caitlin is doing a module in her Batch of Criminology and Criminal Justice and laughed at the music used in one of her clips. I said I had heard that before somewhere but couldn't remember as it would have been many years agao. Does anyone know what the music is in this clip?

But their both no good when they get a puncture

Hmmm

Apparently Israel is on top of the education list, I think Australia has dropped down to about 18th now

What I am finding a lot these days when having friends over for dinner and other social gatherings is the discussions popping up on the whole female dominance movement that seems to be taking over the world at the moment. We have the MeToo movement, equal opportunity, and much more so much so that here in Australia irrespective of whether a male or female is suited to a job or not, many government entities are mandating an equal 50/50 employment of males and females. This includes Firefighters, you know people who run into burning building and carry adults out on their shoulders. I for one really hope that I don't find myself in a burning building and a female says to me "sorry I can't lift you so goodbye". Anyway, I decided to do some research on the very topic of irrespective of equal opportunity, what does the future hold for mankind, what is really needed in the macro sense for mankind to survive the future? Because an interesting fact is that the United Nations predict that the Earth can in its current state only support between 8 to 16 billion people, scientists believe that 10 billion is more likely the maximum the Earth can sustain (ref: HERE). With this in mind it is believed that by the end of the century we will have 11 billion people. This is greater than what scientists believe the Earth can sustain. So what do we do to reduce the number of people and give planet Earth a lot longer life yet still keep an acceptable population growth/turnover...Females are no longer needed in the world. Now I bet that gets a lot of people going Lets look at some facts why: 1. In the last 10 years there has been a 1,000% growth in male sex toy production (ref: HERE) 2. A Male is the only human type that can manufacture life (the manufacture of sperm) 3. Females do not manufacture life as they are born with eggs that come from around 7 million oocytes in a 16 to 20 week female fetus. This drops to a result of around 400 actual eggs at puberty. At 16-20 weeks gestation a legal abortion can still be performed and after the harvesting of those oocytes. (ref: HERE) 4. In 2010, an artificial womb (ovary) was developed that can mature harvested oocytes into viable eggs (ref: HERE) 5. It was once considered theory that Males could be implanted with a fertilised egg that would be attached to a blood supply in the abdomen and carry a fetus to full term and give birth via a cesarean however it was considered very risky in the old days. Now an artificial womb can be implanted into a male who can then easily give birth (ref: HERE) So, Males don't need to have sex with a female as they now have a vast variety of lifelike sex toys plus they can carry and give birth to male babies with the females fetuses being used purely as a source of oocytes and then the female fetus is terminated in under 20 weeks. See, females are not needed BUT Males are if civilisation is to continue. If this was implemented today, in 100 years the Earths population would drop, by just under what the Earth's total population is today, by at least 6 billion from what it was going to be making our planet more sustainable of continuing human life. Hey, don't shoot the messenger...these are just facts that often come up in conversations had in social gathering that have been brought about by the push for total domination by females of today

Hear about the Irish Snow Board rider in the Korean winter olympics....started at the bottom and tried to go up the hill

You can see the tear marks from around her eyes

Even as a grown man I had to hold back tears reading this...I keep thinking of what the dog was going through every minute, waiting, hoping... [ATTACH]49068._xfImport[/ATTACH] A devastated dog has reportedly died of a broken heart after she was abandoned by her owner at an airport. The dog, who was called Nube Viajera — or “Wandering Cloud” — by the vets who treated her, spent a month wandering around the terminal at Colombia’s Palonegro airport waiting for her owner to come back. Initially hopeful, as well as healthy, the two-year-old dog spent her time sniffing people she passed in the terminal. But she eventually gave up any hope of finding her owner and heartbroken, cowered in a corner of the airport, the UK’s Mirror reported. Passengers and airport workers tried to offer the dog food but she refused to eat. Eventually, someone called an animal shelter but by then Nube Viajera was so malnourished she could barely stand. Despite being given food and medicine by vets, her physical and mental health deteriorated even further and she died, about a month after she was abandoned. Colombia’s Noticias RCN was told that the dog did not appear to be a stray. “The hypothesis we have is that a traveler abandoned it,” Alejandro Sotomonte Nino, a vet from the Colombian Animal Protection Foundation, said. “Apparently, during the first month that the dog was at the airport, it was going through the halls looking for someone, possibly the owner.” “That state of waiting deteriorated its health, to the point that she no longer received food.”
