Should have a warning- Do not shop on grays when under influence. I always buy more than I intend to like 100 tech screw drivers in 3/8”, 1/4” and 5/16”. Should last a while.

I watched the newest Borat movie recently, yes it was done in bad taste style, but is entertaining in the way it portrayed trump supporters. sacha Baren Cohens other show this is America is also quite an eye opener on American culture. It’s scary to see what some people fiercely believe to be true. I’m glad our politicians don’t buy their place in the same way the yanks do.

Would he have one to exchange?

Bottle of Woolworths brekky juice, 0% Australian ingredients, I would of thought that we would have enough fruit here( majority apple juice) to make breakfast juice here. I try to read labels normally but missed this one.

I used to tell my mates I drove a turbo Mercedes with a sunroof on the weekends, Just didn't mention the colour, or the word MOG.

We turn the tv down when Gus Gould is commentating NRL because he irritates the shite out of me and the missus. Changes his mind which team is going to win, and puts a curse on anyone he praises up, to stuff up next.

And still keep the knowledge you have now,

Almost as bad as “wet beavers looking for wood” by little golden books

Saving 1mm in material over 100000 of batteries saves a lot of money, like smaller chips and chocolates

passed 280k now, with 7.5% premium on top. I said to my son I should throw a bid so I can say I tried, knowing my luck the other muppets would run out of money and I would be divorced and homeless. but with a rare exotic place to sleep

Check out grays online. A 1973 XA Coupe that is dead and been lying in a shed since 1988 has reached $265k plus and not finished yet. Does not turnover and dirty. Has a story about being found in a barn with chickens from a magazine called survivor car. a lot of money in anyone’s book.

That’s character, it’s what made them great. And we are still here with no cotton wool wrapping (no airbags, antilock brakes, intuitive correction etc)

My wife finds me too nostalgic, I’ve got heaps of nostalgia in the 3 sheds and garage.

First was a 76 CL valiant ex Ampol staff car 28000km in 1993 (Tasmania km, nowhere to go) I still have the VH Charger that came next, still Undriven since then there was a few valiants sedans and chargers in varying condition then a 78 Toyota Celica, I did not know there was such a thing as fuel economy until this one. a 60’s Datsun 1000 Fastback import a triumph 2500 sedan my brother gave me. A VG coupe That I re assembled in WA and drove back here to nsw then came a 1978 $300 corolla wagon my new partner had a Hyundai Which was nice to drive then we have moved onto family people movers with 5 kids. I have had a few work vehicles like a valiant Ute, a Holden jackaroo, a new Great Wall then i found a cheap $500 1 owner 1991 Mazda 121 shades and 14 years later we are still friends. We have travelled 80000 km together on its little 12 inch wheels, it is about to get a full birthday soon with lots of new bits I have piled up for it. I would have liked not to have bent the chassis on the CL sedan and to have kept it, it was comfy, tidy and cool to cruise in. The VG coupe is fairly valuable now, but there is only so much room to keep these things. I left a VJ 770 charger behind in a paddock in WA, which carried me all over the state, I probably miss it the most.

if you needed longer arm reach in the cabinet, would an old welders jacket sleeves(leather) cut off and attached to gloves with a collar of PVC and clamps give you longer length cheaply. I have wurth chemical gloves like those-not cheap to buy, that were hopeless in cleaning fluid cause they went so hard in fingers you could not flex your hand after a weeks use. Your use for them is much better, no contamination. If your cabinet is not doing industrial amounts of work it seems like a better cost effective way to do it. I would like to build a stand in small room out of black film ply and stud frame to use my soda blast kit in for large items, with a hood and breathing set, some overalls, you could shovel up the media and use again. I have a hare and forbes portable extractor for the planer and saw table that should take the dust out of room. I recon 8 foot by 8 foot cubed would take guards, doors, diffs etc with out wasting media

Any one else having trouble with adding likes etc due to a limit being exceeded. Have I done something wrong with settings?

Parents of all of the feral kids need to become responsible for the criminal activity their kids participate in. Welfare cuts for repeat offences. Once is a mistake. Ten times is BS, they know how to play the system until they are 18, some parents and older ones influence this for their own gain. the system of food cards, auto rent and power payments is not racist, it should be applied across the board. Welfare for out of work, unemployed, single parents is not for the latest iPhone, tattoos and drugs. It is there as a help up, you should aspire to have more by earning it working if you want these things. I was an involuntary sole parent when I made it to NSW. I had more money and help from the government than I earn working before hand. I just couldn’t sit and do nothing. It did take the help of my now wife to raise kids and create what we now have. Life can be good with a bit of hard yakka, which doesn’t kill you contrary to some beliefs.

Aw crap, it’s the summer bay police

All of the lemmings whom have followed blindly the strife going on in the US protesting and damaging property here in Australia should be locked up and have any welfare cut off. It has nothing to do with how things are done here. Being a cop in the US must be a hard job, politics play too big a roll in their system. You have a huge number of untreated “crazies” out in the field. Guns are every where with no real regulation and a massive drug problem. Watch Discovery ID channel or Crime Investigation channel any day of the week to see the horrific things they face every day. They could have handled the Floyd arrest better and we wouldn’t be going through this BS. For every bad cop there must be a 1000’s of good ones that don’t get thanks for the good that they do. And I still don’t understand why damaging $$$$$$ worth of Private business property fixes anything. this is just my 2c worth on the matter.

My great Wally was run on E10 most of the time for 8 years. When I did put premium in it I got less mileage. Same with our family car Kia carnival with 3.5V6 i run the wife’s Honda on premium because it’s a little high performance engine and all mowers, boat motor, whipper snippets and the Bushbaby 582. some 30c litre difference in country or when we travel to the coast.

Dirty scoundrels have all offered loans to be put on hold, but little asterisk denotes we will add around $6500 in interest for the privilege. With 2 large mortgages and a small one, this is going to hurt at the end. Then in the first month of coved 19 they told us use cards and cash was like poison at the shops. I got a $12 fee for 24 excess transacations On card. If you counted all the customers and charged them that much each month, imagine how much they are raking in. Merchants are still paying fees for the terminal and each use, extra charges apply for each tap and go transaction. Would be a good time to be a caring bank.

I cant believe with the "unemployment" in this country that we still need to import Asian and islander workers to pick fruit, work in meatworks and other agricultural jobs. I have first hand seen people that have been sent by job agencies to Chicken processors and meatworks here in Tamworth- that refused to work there because it smells. If you don't have a job and one is there I don't think we should have to support you. When I worked at a factory in Tasmania, I spent my holidays picking peas by hand on steep hillsides. I made more money then than my regular job. Fruit picking does not last forever, if you have to sacrifice a few weeks at a time away from girlfriend and kids so be it. Working outside with plants were some of my more enjoyable times, less stress, no overheads and fresh air. I think it is these people don't want to commit to "having a go" because it takes effort. One friend recently commented that with the doubling of payments for 6 months he had no incentive to go pick apples, as the extra $7150 over six months that it provides makes him comfortable for no effort.

We need a WTF? In the like bar

Round Tamworth there are lots of houses that had shops built into the front of them, when looking for them they are only a handful of blocks between them, the same with little service stations-the type that had a mechanic on duty and fuel/oils. Progress is not always great for us, the big guys may start cheap by comparison but once they have the monopoly UP goes everything, usually with tags stating "down from this in 2016" etc.

Coming back from that is going to be hard. It is hard enough as is to compete with online business with no "real" overheads that a brick and mortar business has. We cop it all the time. A lot of inferior copy parts or incomplete sets sold with "upgrades" required to install. sometimes they sell customers goods they don't have in their possession and place on back order. You have paid straight away and the wholesaler has no stock for up to 3 months or worse obsolete but still in older catalogues. At least when ordering for someone I make sure it is available and can be supplied before taking any money. I'm just hoping to survive this period with limited travellers on the road. Maybe every one will holiday in Australia more afterwards and need servicing and repairs to caravans.
