Albo to the rescue

You have to become a "no I won't" kind of person.  I go to  the mall thinking 'I'LL get an iced doughnut", then I see the price and think "No I won't". I went to a shop specialising in cables and accessories for mobile phones. I was thinking of getting a tripod clamp to hold the phone to scan documents and photograph small objects. Then I thought, no, a flat piece of timber supported above the document/object, with the phone placed so the lens is just over the edge will do the job for free. The same goes for just about everything. "No I won't".  It amazes me the number of times you see things like "The household item on sale at Kmart that Australians are losing it over".  Mostly crap that no-one needs.

The Gillet Razor was designed to use a Flexing blade. Cheap and able to be sharpened in a "glass thing",. Not like the Fast blunting throwaway things you buy now. Nev

I didn't realise for years, how there was a corporate term, "captive customer". It means they sell you something that contains components or contents that are only available from their company, so you have no option but to keep going back to that company for parts, service or support. 

That's why printers are cheap and replacement ink cartridges are expensive.

There was one of those ads on the web today - 

 

The $29 Kmart item Aussies are losing it over.

 

It was a pole you could hang pot plants from.

Leggo is a good example. You just HAVE to get More.  Nev

The biggest problem with the NACC is labour caved in and knackered it.

Second time he is being investigated and still there...

 

And people wonder whty the protest parties such as One Nation and Reform in the UK are breaking ground.. And why Chump gets elected a second time after a disastrous first round.

That's pretty much all crap. Nev

Litespeed, you should know better than to criticize Labor. They never make a mistake.

[facthunter]

Poor comment from a MODERATOR. Cut it OUT. YOU set a BAD example. The subject needs to be delved into a bit deeper. Nev

[red750]

No worse than you. I'm entitled to my opinion just as you are. Keep your opinions to yourself and I'll do the same.

[facthunter]

You make personal attacks.  Mine are nearly always in response to yours. Your "show" is going extinct, right now. That's not good. , There's been plenty of Labor People I didn't like, and I
 HAVE voted Liberal. I'm prepared to give credit where it's due . Nev

[old man emu]

OK, you two. We know that you each sit on the otehr side of the fence. We accept that. What is not acceptable is personal attacks. Please play the ball and not the man.

[red750]

I'm happy to, if Nev stops attacking me.
