Albo to the rescue

[red750]

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.

Indeed.. And we are getting the fruits of that cave in now:

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. 

 

 

[facthunter]

That's pretty much all crap. Nev

[red750]

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.

So, how is it pretty much all crap?

[facthunter]

You're just all letting off steam to make yourselves feel good ,Predominately, since you ask. Nev

[Jerry_Atrick]

?

 

So, the ABC news article is BS and Albo (with Doofus) didn't set up the NACC?

 

If you're trying to say this is an "I told you so moment", yeah it could be construed as such.

 

If you think I feel good about it, you're quite mistaken.

 

If you're willing to ignore the little fella having enough of grift, then don't be surprised they do a protest vote..

The People going to PHON are NOT Labor.  Most of your comments on Australian Politics  make no sense to me.  They don't seem to accord with what is happening HERE. Not that THAT is easy to find out. Murdock sees to that. Nev

[Jerry_Atrick]

Labor has had a small drop in the polls. Yes., these are not elections. I am guessing they are more likely to gravitate to the Greens than PHON. But, you don't want it to get to the point where Labor voters start gravitating to PHON as they are sick of being forgotten. It happened here.. Labour shoud learn from it.

That should be Labor shoudl learn from it.

The real problem is the negative BEHAVIOUR of the NP. They used to represent haystacks. Now they represent Coal Mine Owners and Fracking Gas. Nev

[Grumpy Old Nasho]

The major parties are past their use-by date, their ideological psyches are exhausted and.. irrelevant going forward. They are still fighting like cats and dogs breaching hate speech laws. Nothing about those dinosaur parties makes sense anymore. They are demented, irrational, and with no sense of Aussie "brotherhood". They give money away like it's confetti. The Taliban got $50mil. Muslims in OZ got $27mil. Stolen generations are getting millions in compensation, but conscripts are getting nothing. Trump made idiots of school boys Albanese and Kevin Rudd. 15 Jews shot dead by muslims and idiot Albanese blamed the far right, there's something very twisted about Albanese's brain, it's not quite all there.

 

More idiocy from the major parties yet to come, be ready for it.

[facthunter]

That Statement says More about YOU than the matters you address. I suppose you will vote PHON?   Noney the Red Witch, Loves  Trump. She and The Glorious GINA were Guests at More A  Leggo. Trump calls Servicemen "Suckers and Losers".   and got a doctor to say He has a crook foot to get out of serving. Trump is doing a good job of Making himself look like an idiot  and is getting desperate about the Mid term elections. Nev

@Grumpy Old Nasho - how do you think your god-king Chump would treat conscripts?

This is the man who put Hegseth in charge of defence, sorry "War" - a man rejected from the military for being psychologically unsound, who told the army chiefs to "get rid of fatties", ordered the illegal killing of Venezuelan sailors - including ordering the Navy to kill them after their boat was destroyed - and then dumped responsibility on the admiral.

You really have no idea how good we have it here. Yes we can always push for improvement but wanting to tear down our political system because you disagree with a few decisions is just insane.

It's easy to Look up How we Rate in various things and generally speaking it's Not too Bad. Appreciate what you have and you will be better off, Mentally. Nev

[Grumpy Old Nasho]

One Nation is picking up in the polls - why do you think that is?
