Could have been written this week and still be accurate!

Yeh phil well aware of that....Greece would be fixed by now if they had their own currency and it dived dived... The greenback dive post GFC temporarily fixed the US manufacturing industries...its a shame the EU will wallow on for another 10 years before they admit it ...by then some parts of the EU will have experienced almost a 1/4 of their life in economic recession/depression

Wont be long now and they will all want currency control to reboot their economies, especially now they have seen Brexit not be catastrophic. I just hope they fall out of the eu, without becoming failed states first It reminds me of the Soviet Union...it works in the building phase, but inevitably govt intervention, corruption and poor priorities bring them crashing back to reality

The EU seems to be a disastrous experiment gone terribly wrong... originally the biggest benefit was freedom of movement and its tourism/business beenfits...which has now become the biggest issue due to ISIS et al.... Its not a matter of if, but when it will crumble

Damn the on thing i REALLY REALLY want to do

Well the sun came up but i feel tired and a little hung over...my advice, have two less beers and go to bed earlier

Funniest example i saw was a former groundsman tried to be an arborisrt...he put on his high vis vest, put out all his cones, put his ear plugs and safety glasses on, then climbed and stood on the verry top of a ladder that had clear markings 4 rungs from the top, reached out with the chainsaw and started cutting the branch he was hanging on to....i think you can guess what happened...... So as im realizimg whats unfolding in front of me and unable to get his attention , he realizes at the last moment part of his stupidity.... He is then left dangling by one hand, one foot on the ladder and a running chainsaw hanging from him.... All the procedures, policies and ppe wont stop morons inventing new ways to hurt themselves... The same guy got electocuted twice and had to be severely repremanded for doing wheelstands on a full size tractor, mowing up an unsafe embankment...using only the slasher to stop the tractor flipping....

Dazza im not having a go at ya....im trying to protect you and your last post does that perfectly well... cheers and happy new years!!

A relative of mine works for the NSW police in intel and they do troll forums looking for these admissions to crimes... they have intel on certain members, then when they get enough to bother they pounce and gather evidence... so just be warned! The internet is one of their most productive way of finding and prosecuting crimes...

Dazza i could find you in 5 minutes if i had access to ians IP logs which they do and now all ISP have to hold by law for 2 years

Careful dazza you just incriminated him and you! that wasnt smart! Best to speak in 3rd person when talking about that sort of stuff!

Safety is good when used properly...its the morons that keep taking it one or two steps further than necessary causing the problem... Big employers now need efficiency officers that can go through and eliminate some of the disastrous inefficiencies brought about by WHS officers..

Then if you have "acutally really" read anything on it you will know these maniacs absolutely do not represent the Muslim VAST majority and their beliefs!!

Please quote reputable sources where homicide is included in the Quran not "Koran"...If you're going to slag a whole religion of billions of people at least learn how to spell the book and religion....killing of anyone for any reason other than accidental death is actually STRICTLY prohibited...and promoted as such by mainstream muslims... Disclaimer...i am not muslim..dont know intimately a single muslim, dont want to be a muslim...but feel for them in this horrible time where crazy homicidal maniacs are making them all victims, buy committing horrendous acts and claiming its due to their beliefs...I have actually studied basics on each religion at university level...not because i wanted to, but because i had to as part of my former job Its extremely disappointing the Grand Mufti did not take the opportunity to attack such barbaric acts...but again..just like Tony Abbott, Juliar and Kevin were not great leaders... perhaps ??? he is not up to the job ??? Just as there a literally millions of motorcycle riders including us, imaging if all motor cyclists where tarred with the same brush as the bad few that run criminal gangs. Or if all pilots where smeared because the MH pilot went rogue...

We need for about 5 years to get HP , Epson , Lexmark and Dell to supply the weapons...they will get rid of the old weapons for the new shiny weapons and then...hahha...suckers.......by 2020..all weapons will have reached their fictitious print limit and become non functional.

What you say makes sense...but the religion is not the defining problem...the interpretation and action of that religion as either extreme or moderate, mild is what counts... Dont forget there are plenty of nut job very violent Catholics and other religions as well...so we must be careful not to target the religion, but rather target the nut jobs... Im all for targeting them and eliminating them from the planet...but not for targeting the 98%+ peace loving muslims

Knu perhaps read "peace loving majority" You do realise its comments and attitudes like this , that is exactly what the extremists want... its hard to mobilise peace loving muslims when they are surrounded by tolerant accepting peaceful people... but its damn easy to mobilise and radicalise marginalised children who grow up surrounded by these words and venom You are actually being an extremely powerful enabler , just by saying this...!! I Can't find so much sympathy for the feelings of perpetrators, sympathisers and enablers, either, but that has nothing to do with 98%+ of Muslims who want nothing to do with this rubbish.. In times like this the best thing we can do is unite with the 98%+ peaceful muslims against the extremists, rather than branding the peaceful majority for the actions of a few.

I dont want to give credit to any racism or fuel any debate aimed at an entire religion...I find racism and sexism etc funny in jokes, but not at all when its meant to hurt or harm or stigmatize. But a few things are clear... we cant go down the current path where we have racist Australians labeling peaceful muslims as bad or evil...and we cant bury our heads in the sand and say its not a predominantly muslim problem...We will need muslims on board to solve this issue.. I have as strong a views as anyone on what we should do to extremists and in light of much stricter rules for immigration and refugee status. I would even go so far as to say that anyone who does not accept Australian way of life should be deported to place of origin . But my real point is we will only fan the flames of racism and hatred if we are not careful to make peace loving muslims feel 100% embraced, loved and welcome in Australia. They are probably more horrified by what is happening, simply because they are sensible peaceful people as well, in Syria their fellow muslims are being slaughtered by all sides and they know the backlash from France will make them victims in Australia by racist white supremacists and the ill informed morons that abound.. I feel for the majority peace loving muslims every time this crap happens...they get labeled, harassed and stigmatized... and they hate this crap as much as we do, if not more.

Plus we allow foriegn ownership to push up housng costs....there is no logical reason for foriegn property ownership when we already allow negative gearing and multiple property purchases , as well as tax deduction for corporations owning property... The big issue now is unwinding that gross mistake without bursting the housing bubble. How in our situation is it ever beneficial to allow firiegn property ownership....its an export of wealth If you dnt believe me on that try playing monopooy for any duration without buying a property As a third world country foriegn property ownership can prop up foriegn investment and jobs, but in our situation foriegn property ownership is a blight on future wealth of Australians for the wealth of those currently selling and near end of life.

Because aussies wont do it in many cases....i offered to pay a few local kids $12 an hour to wash my cars and do some jobs on a regular basis....they refused and said it wasnt worth thier time...

There are three evils that need to be carefully balanced and managed 1. lazy political minds and discussions 2. Overpowerful corupt an innept unions 3. greedy immoral coorporations lots of people are worth way more than they get paid and just as many or more are worth payng something , but are not productive enough to warrant Australias very high minimum wage.

The scary thing is Im an IT whiz, this must be horendous for most people

Na mine didnt come with any but i made a bootable usb

My advice dont do it...if you do either create a full disk image first if you know how or at the minimum a restore point and make sure you back up EVERYTHING carefully.

My saga continued...i finally snapped and rolled back to 8.1. Bad move it kilss virtually every 3rd party executable path...took about 6 safe boots to get running ... Then i eventually had to reinstall the horrible wi dows 10 to get the thing running againg This fixed half the third party software Still had to reinstall Norton, Chrome and several others... Around 20 hours later its runing fine, but still no where near as good as 8.1 which was virtually perfect for its duration
