You cannot win can you?

Forgot to mention ---- 0 - 100 2.5 sec top speed of 300 ( limiter kicks in at 299 so will probably go quicker )

More than enough for city and country riding :)

With the price of services such as yours, you blokes should be able to afford it :))

A few years ago, I had an appointment with a Specialist at the
Tugun Hilton (John Flynn Hospital), when he found out that I was a
Plumber, he asked me if I could do some work for him at his home,
I told him he would have to get a Referal, he thought it was a great
joke, he said we had a lot in common, we both do Plumbing, but he
has to do it right the first time, I said but I have to give a Guarantee,
or the Building Services Authority will fined me.

Wasn't the Urologist was it ? Medical millionaires !
Some people have big houses
Some have flash cars
Some take o/s holidays
I have private health insurance!

Nah he was a Gastrologist,with a Camera,
We have Private Health Insurance to.
Also have a Twenty Million Dollar Public Liability Insurance,
just in case some body falls down a Man-hole or I flood some joint out
or I do my block and choke some Ba**ted who dosent pay me lol.

Hi Daza,
Know what you mean.
I'm a Wood Butcher;-)
Went to the dentist awhile back. To have cap put on a mollar, root canal work I was looking at spending 2500 bucks for one tooth.
Anyway we got chattin about stuff, and he tells me that he had to get a plumber in to install his pump for his water tank so he could get his rebate.
Now what were his words, that's right.
'The plumber wanted 60 an hour, and the Carpenter wanted 45, what for? just to lay a concrete slab and do up a few pipes.
Their got no Idea.
They live on a difference plant to us.

Sorry rant over now. :)

I'm lucky enough to deal with one major client now, Federal Govt,
they keep us busy 7/24, we still look after some old customers,
and a few pensioners, I allways forget to invoice them, they have
enough problems, and any new jobs I pass on to young plumbers
starting off, we are getting ready to be semi retired by xmass,
and work two months on and one month off in the new year,
so we can get the truck & van dirty.

Cheers
Daza

Hairs & Fysh...that plant he lives on may be bong friendly too...what to do you think?

Nice spotting, Patrol22

I hate it when I wangle my tords.

55 km along polluted roads inhaling all those cancerogenic stuff that came from exhaust pipes under high physical load, p1551ng and delaying dozens and dozens other people, endanger my own life and coming to work with pain in the a55 sweating and stinking (I do not have shower in any of my workplace)? Thanks I would rather have a quiet smoke on the bench in park because it less harm to my health. And save my bicycle for weekend ride along our lovely parks and creeks.

Cheers

Serg. This should have been posted on a Friday. Funniest post of the week. You whinge about how stupid the Greens are, then tell us how you won't ride a bike to work because of the pollution. Well done.

Mfewster,

I am very glad that I could make your day. But just think how much indirect pollution those numskull riders produce by holding heavy traffic. I am not talking about other ill social effect like people get late and frustrated. Even most brainless body (I mean TAC) agreed after much research (obvious stuff, but numskull still need research) that bicycles and cars does not mix well.

Serg

Serge...If you're freaking out about a cyclist that holds traffic up for a minute or two (at best) you're living to close to the edge...chill out and smell the roses man!

Still ROFLMAO at the comments above though...good call Mfewster!

Landy,

If you ALWAYS have enough time not to hurry, but rather stop and smell roses (in traffic, my turn ROFLMAO or what???), then I truly jealous because I simply do not have such luxury. If you can justify when one prick on bike holding 50 or so people in bus – good on you. My suggestion would be get a bunch of rouses, sit (pardon me, STAND in crowd) in that bus and smell them. Surely you will not kill that extra time in traffic for nothing!

Cheers
Serg

Valid comment, but I cannot get what it to do to topic? IMHO it is separate issue.

Cheers
Serg

Serg,

I think Steve is telling you that you should deal with more important issues.

Traffic problems should never be considered as a problem when we have people in this country wo have half the lfe expectancy that they should.

Why should I, as the product of European Migrants, have a better life than the original Australians?

Jim.

Jim,

It is tuff one.

1.I disagree that it is unimportant when they try to rip me off.

2.It is very difficult to deal with problems that I have no influence at all.

3.Hard, but true. Your like to live better while they like to live “traditionally”. How you suggest doing anything good to them if they do not like to accept it? Money? They entitled on more benefits then me once upon time when I came to this country. Education? They not interested. Better living condition? They do not like to move from their places. What else – tell me if you know.

Serg

LOL.. Steve wont reply he's just doing a little DIO.. :-)

Richard

Serg read this book and become educated.

Link

As for you Richard well I wont be provoked, have a nice day.

Cheers Steve.

Hi Steve

Every Australian should read that book..very thought provoking.....

Regards

Does anyone know if it is avaliable as an ebook (electronically)? I'm not big into reading books (yet), and would like to fill in some time on a couple long roadtrips i have coming up.....and it sounds interesting.

Andrew

Steve,

I have not heard of this book and indeed will look for one. I agree that every non-indigenous Australian has to know more about aborigines then in average we do. Though I do not believe that this book can answer my question – what can be done? It is impossible to deny that we have huge problem with them and it is truly disgraceful how many of them living considering that we easy came in top 10 countries worldwide by living standards. Meaning of my comment rather simple – nothing can be done if they dislike to accept our help

This IS tuff one.

Cheers
Serg

Serg,

Whilst ever you have the "Us" and "Them" attitude nothing will ever be solved.

Read up a little to get an understanding.

Consider this for a second. These people were hunted for sport. These people were murdered into extinction in Tasmania.

Look up the "Drover's Boy" and find out what that is really about.

And lots more.

Jim.

Jim,

Your point is truly valid. But what you suggest “We” and “They” have to do to become “Us” as a whole? And in particular what each of us including myself can do? Many awful things had happens in the past, but real question is what we have to do today to fix it instead of endlessly rumbling that first colonist (do you remember that they where criminals in vast majority?) treated aboriginals as animals? Also mind you that our aboriginals should be considered “lucky”, if you look into history of American (both North and South) ones. I never been in believing that aborigines (or any other race for this merit) are “subrace” or anything like this. They just have their own way of living, it is not “right” or “wrong” – it is different.

But lets face it – certain thing cannot be achieved without changing lifestyle. For me it is quite evident that “We” will not became “Them” and also I fail to see what can be done “In Between”. Therefore “They” should become “Us” it order to survive as ethnic group, assimilate and became “Us” as a whole. Under no means it is simple process – everything what in the past, all previous believing and habits need to be thrown into rubbish bin. Main issue is not even educational. They have to give up everything what they have got and it does not seems that right to me at all. It IS incredibly gruesome conclusion, but I fail to conclude anything else – please tell me if you do.

I will indeed search for book pointed by Steve to make me understand more of aborigines way of thinking. I already have read preface and it makes me curious enough to read whole book. As for original Steve’s remark it is better talk to our government, not to me. They said big useless sorry and keep themselves busy by solving gays problem instead of aborigines ones.

Serg

Hey Serg

Although the circumstances are true my original post was meant as a throw away line, I understand what you are trying to say but this book will explain all.

As for your original thread, I guess I'm lucky I live up here.

Cheers Steve.
