Kyle Communications

Yes Scott I usually get up about dawn and head off luckily I am 5 mins from the airfield. It was pretty lumpy coming back from Kilcoy on sunday about noon. Today was beautiful I should have gone flying early but this last 2 days before I knock off from holidays is busy so couldnt afford a few hours off. I hope the weather stays good after friday for a few days at least

Nev that maybe not that far from the truth the way our numbskulls in parliament act

This is well done...I liked it

No one listens to him here either thank god We breed them tough here so barbed wire is the only way to keep them in I work with a couple of expat Poms here and I can tell you they love it here and will never go back ever ever ever...and they lost their whinge gene after about 12 months...and my next door neighours here are ex poms and they only go back because they have to see their parents every year or so...they tell me they cant wait to get back here Mark

One of our friends moved to Tassie....he was back after 8 months....couldnt handle the cold

maybe he wasnt tough enough for the lifestyle here :)....or it was too hot and muggy...or of course he moved to the "wrong" place...all states have areas which you dont really want to live in.....or of course he got homesick

Ok my actual big gripe.....I have 2 of them Bloody banks I hate them and the way they shaft everyone...no allegance or real caring anymore not like it used to be they are just enormous money making machines with little regard now for the average joe....they used to be good once but then again 30 years ago is pretty much another lifetime ago Politicians....I hate them all pretty much they are self serving and do not usually vote for what their constituants want..they vote along party lines and are too interested in doing what is right for them and not is right for the country and its inhabitants You only have to look at the farce that is currently called the "Australian Government and its Opposition" both of them are useless. We live in the best country in the world and we are doing our best to stuff it completely There you go Nev...my gripes are out there

AHHH the nectar of the gods....actually it is not spelling for XXXX it is the symbol for barbed wire. Thats how we decipher it...of course you southerners would take it out of its nice easy simplistic context.

It never used to be must be that climate change stuff......or all that Mexican breath

Anyone south of the Qld border is a mexican No Joh didnt like daylight savings because he thought the sun shone out of his bum and he didnt want to get up an hour earlier for anyone. I wouldnt be saying too much about people moving your way. Hervey Bay is now called little Victoria So many people have been moving to Qld we have almost gridlock across the city every morning until about 10am.

yes we are getting all the crap weather from all you mexicans....beautiful one day perfect the next hasnt been applying this past few years...I am sure its all those illegal aliens from south of the border bringing all their weather with them

Well here in the land of the gods (queensland) its too hot and too windy to fly

The problem OME is just what the video shows.....you can just be at the wrong place at the wrong time

yes I agree there should be more shock videos in prime time like this to try to wakeup some of the idiots on the road. But the do gooders will be up in arms

A friend just sent me this youtube link it is pretty graphic and will make you jump in your seat and cringe and feel queasy in the guts. It shows you that through no fault of your own you can be involved in a major accident. This is one of the things when I drive up the Bruce Highway the 300km to to my farm that scares the hell out of me and we have had some very close calls just like some of these clips. Take care and treat everyone else on the road as a idiot and try to stay out of their way

Zibi you maybe right....I don't think the toilet seat with built in warmer was a successful idea but they did sell quite a lot worldwide...The young ones today as you know all love the wizz bang flashy crap and musicolour trendy stuff they live with and for their smartphones...the gimmick stuff usually makes money. even if you only get .5 % of the smartphone eligible youngness...that is still a huge market

Zibi The idea is based on a APP..as stated before in this thread....they have used the app idea and combined it with some hardware and some nice protocol via the wifi.....I think these guys will sell a motza of them.....a lot of good money making ideas are just a reinvention or update of the original wheel...you just have to find the right type of wheel

Take look at this video watch the whole thing This a idea that will make these guys millions...mind you he has that already. The Kickstart website is a website that you float your ideas on and people pledge money to support it to get it up and going and usually you get something that the idea is as a product when it is finished. You will see the money the guys wanted was $100,000 to get started but got so many subscribers they had to close it off at 1.3 MILLION......13 times over subscribed...and it a couple of aussies out of melbourne doing it Mark

yes but at least you have a internet connection out there in the boonies so it cant be too bad

Well I am not sure that quote is strictly true Mark11 I have been self employed for some 25 years and I have never been "rolling" in it. There are lots of advantages that allow you to do more than the normal wage earner for sure. Yes there are some guys who manage the rolling in it but if you really look at the numbers they are probably the 5% of businesses. Most are comfortable and have some spare money to allow the occasional splurge and indulgance but please remember most business owners work around 60 to 80 hrs a week so put that into your wages calculator and you will probably be where most business owners are. Drive and motivation keep small businesses open and without it they die. My advice is yes do it but you must find something you are very good at or love to do as working such long hours you have to have that drive. Small business drives the country it also has the most tax paid from them to run the country the definition of a small business from memory is turnover of 5 million a year. You also need a very understanding wife because working those long hours affects the home life and I will bet that most business owner/workers have had at least more than 1 wife because they can be neglected...also dont employ your wife as you never get away from work and many arguments can ensue from this close relationship there needs to be a separation or home life and work otherwise it can lead to some very large withdrawls of your bank balance and you maybe out renting the place your living in I built and own my own aircraft but it has taken a long time to get to this position as most of all my profits had been turned back into the business to either just keep it running during the hard times or to grow it when needed. At one stage I had 8 employees for many years and turned over in excess of 2 million a year...during that time I had hardly any money of my own. I have been running my business as the only employee now for the last 8 years and now actually make some money but the long hours still continue but the costs are way down that is the difference. Especially now this past 6 months business is very poor on sales but still good on the service side so this keeps the doors open but still have to be frugal to remain viable...this comes with experience on how to do this. If you want something bad enough...make a plan and throughly research what you want to do and look objectively at it....then try to get some money together as a base maybe $10,000 as you can not start a business without a base otherwise it will fall over. I hope this helps but the main thing is to be able to work for yourself and live a comfortable life for the large amount of hours and sweat for something you love to do then it will be successful

Paralympics start 29th of August....I will be watching

The closing ceremony concert was outstanding and I really loved it all especially seeing Eric idle that was just fantastic and the whole stadium were singing along I can't wait for the paralympics...ABC is having it...I reckon those athletes are the best to watch...they are fantastic athletes yet they have huge physical and mental problems to overcome and they are almost as fast as the able bodied athletes. I am just in awe of them Mark

The actual rate was .33% on every money transaction it would collect about 3 times the amount that income tax and GST collect...the reason wasn't One Nation it would make the tax dept and the many tens of thousands of bl****rs....sorry... workers there redundant with no job as 90% of all transactions would be collected by the money institutions. Basically its like a get but only when you transfer money from one place or business to another
