Thanks Mick, I have been looking for alternative work around here for nearly 2 years, and the only offers I have had are for more mechanical work and normally for less money.  There is #$%* all work around here at the moment, which makes it harder, because no one wants to employ anyone without experience.  One of the biggest employers in the area is winding back.  It has gone from employing over 400 people to now there are less than 30 on the floor.  The flow on effect across the town has just about crippled the place.  All the small businesses that feed off them are either closing or doing it tough, the town is truly #$%*ed.  If I hadn't bought a house only a year ago I would be seriously considering moving.  :-\

That makes it a bit tricky mate, but sometimes you just have to cut your leg off.
Easy to say but hard to do.

Darwin is on fire with work at the minute but it's so bloody expensive to live here.

I've been here for 33 years and got my roots buried, but you have to still keep your finger on the pulse.

Eventually, the bubble will burst and that will sit a lot of people on their arses who have financially over committed.

Most of our Qld contracts have dried up now and it's making it tough all around.
There's still contracts in the coal mines which are like trying to win lotto.
We've just mobilsed 3 D11's to Blackwater and that meant cutting costs right to the bone just to get in, to get some income from machines that cost 2.5 mil each.

Times are fcuken tough mate, but, the thing to remember is that your health is your wealth.
That's all that matters.
After that, you can kick arse.  8)
If I was you
I'd be worried about me.

Well I've been away working at the old salt mine again, staying in company funded hotels and eating and drinking on the company dollar. Senior management loves me, we've just won a new contract that will keep me employed for the next 6-10 years (getting awfully close to retirement) and I just put new tyres on the 'Wang, and was feeling pretty darned good.

So I dropped into the old misery thread to see how my big tough biker mates are doing, and instead I see a bunch of old sheila's posting pics of their poofy dogs, comparing back injuries, chatting about their medication and pissing in each others pockets about how useful you still are, even though you can't bend over to tie your own shoe laces? Excellent!     

Oh sweet misery, how I've missed your bitter kiss............. ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Hey Terry....I'm feeling pretty good too, got the ol K7 back on the road!  Think I'll call her Teri, she's a little fat in the tank and a #$%* when she's cold!

I feel a bit sore, and tommorow, I think I will be a hurting unit..
 Went to the dirt track today..
And was doing pretty good, even thought about how I raced there, maybe 20 times, and never went down..
 Then..Bloom, the ground rose up and smote me a mighty blow.

 Smashed and cut a couple fingers .. And hit my knee pretty hard.. No padding..
 Now it looks like a tit..see pic..

Ouch! I haven't had a knee like that since I fell off my XT500 whilst performing an awesome wheelie on my way back from the video shop in 1985 Frank. Fcuk it hurt, and the missus was more concerned about me taking the knee outta my new jeans, the callous biatch.

I had the front wheel up so high that it went past the point of balance, and so I leaped off, not wanting to get squished by the bike, and the fcuking thing then dropped back onto it's front wheel and rolled on for another 100 yards or so, then just gently dropped onto it's side, doing no damage at all. I wasn't so lucky, and did about 100 somersaults until I came to rest in the gutter, battered and bruised.

It's lucky I'm so damn tough, or I'd be posting pics of some fluffy little dunny brush on legs, and packets of my hemorrhoid suppositories........... ;D

Nope, it was "The Never Ending Story" on VHS. Hey that's it! I couldn't return it because it hasn't ended yet! ;D

Pity it wasn't "Back to the future" Terry. That way you could have got back on the bike, speeded up to 88 mph and gone back to before you borrowed it, saved the rental fee and remembered to be more carefull when driving home ya daft bu**er.

Sorry Bill, but meself and Dave500 have been trying to watch our Ps and Qs, with no success at all I'm afraid to say. So of course we got into loads of trouble.

Was helping a friend move house the past few days, in the warmest weather we had had this Summer. Five ladies and me. All the ladies wearing the scimpiest of tops with an abundance of flesh on view.

I hope I'll be getting rewarded when the jobs done.
