Topic: Let it all hang out,tell us how you really feel and what pisses you off.

[Terry in Australia]

G'Day Guys, I thought I better stick my head in and say G'Day, I'm still alive, just busy working on the nexw contract, which pisses me off. I'm back this week, then up to Townsville for a fortnight, attempting to do three weeks of work in one week.

I've booked myself and 2 of my guys from Victoria into a 5 star hotel, we've got a couple of hire cars to thrash and we'll continue to eat and drink on the company dollar, but I've gotta say that the excitement is quickly wearing off.........

Have a good one, thanks for the calls, texts and emails, I'm actually looking forward to doing some work on Mike's 750 this weekend, which will be a change from what I've been doing over the last month. Cheers, Terry.

pop down to Brisbane Terry,word is theres a shirt fronting that didn't go as planned?

[mick7504]

Good to hear from you Terry.
Townsville isn't that far from Darwin  if you feel like cruising up for a Chivas or 2.

Years ago, one of my mates caught a Taxi from Townsville to Darwin when he was pissed which cost him 3 grand for the taxi fare.
The ol' taxi driver was rapped when Stewie pulled the cash out of his pocket.
Anyway, the taxi headed back off home to Qld and as he pulled into Katherine, the taxi blew a fcuking head gasket.
Needless to say, the ol' cab driver was a bit pissed off with himself for taking on that job.

Thanks men, while I was hoping to get to Brisbane, the security situation would have made the job there a nightmare, and I believe that the Brisbane team can't get accommodation because the world's press and security people have taken just about every hotel room from Tweed Heads to Noosa? I'd love to get across to Darwin Mick, but that might have to wait until after we finish up in Townsville.

Anyway, I probably won't have time to scratch my arse, while I was only supposed to be doing the stocktaking initially, I've had a few more responsibilities thrust on me along the way, so I've been working some pretty long hours lately. No biggie, I've had a pretty easy job for the last 7 years, so I probably owe them some unpaid overtime. I will get a chance to catch up with my brother and take his Rolls Royce for a drive though, if he doesn't chuck me the keys, that'll piss me off....... Cheers, Terry.

I think a pic of you driving a Rolla is a must......they'll prob think you've escaped from the G20.

That G20 pisses me off....$400m spent on a fkn meeting, not to mention the public holiday wages to thousands of employees, lost business cos the public can't get anywhere near the shops....ffs, and I can't find one person who's even remotely interested in whatever the fk it is they're talking about at this knob blowing meeting.
One of the leaders, and I don't give a fk who it was, has a group of 400 accompanying him on the trip...wtf, how many arse wipers does a bloke need??? FFS it pisses me off.

[Terry in Australia]

Not to mention that one bloke, Mister Poo-tin, brought his own fcuking navy with him, I wonder how much that cost Pete? It does make me wonder why the Victorian press always whines about the GP costing Victorians 50 million bucks, at least the GP is interesting............

It'd be good to see you if you get up North one day Terry.
Darwin has changed a lot and gotten a lot bigger over the last 10 years or so mate.

Still a good place to be with a sh1t load of opportunity if you like working and drinking water and beer and sweating it out.

The military is big up here now with some of the US forces stationed here as well.
That's just incase there's any undesirables that want to cross the line which would last for about a nano second if they get that far.

The G20 does have some benefits, not least that our prime minister is currently as far away as he fcken can be Pisses me off that he'll be coming back though

[vfourfreak]

OK, with had Terry's version of what he has been up to. But I have my suspicions about this. Perhaps it is he :

That's exactly what I said when the missus went overseas for a holiday by herself. 
I had a Honda 4 motor pulled apart on the dining room table, the aircon ticking over, an esky full of beer on ice and the Rolling Stones DVD playing on the tele.
Man, it was bliss. 

[OldSchool_IsCool]

Pisses me off that the Euopean Space Agency does such a masterful job of guiding their comet interceptor over 10 years time to meet up, spot on with their goal and then let the French park it!

How do you put up with that shyt, Kev??

My #$%*in iphone,hate this pos

[Terry in Australia]

iPhones are no good Mark? Well that pisses me off, I'm supposed to be getting a new one so I don't have to drag my company laptop around like Jacob Marley's chains in "A Christmas Carol".

When I was doing the transitioning at Wagga a couple of other managers who were assisting me were sitting in the restaurant checking their emails on their iPhones and I thought, "Ooher, shiny, I want one, er, I mean, geez I could do lots more work if I had one of them, so I asked my National Manager and he's approved it, so hopefully I won't have to drag my laptop up to Townsville.

Speaking of "Youtube", my nephew's reckon that some prick's stolen my identity, and that pisses me off too...........

Yeah, I'm still hoping to get up to Darwin Mick, hopefully I'll think of a plausible excuse for a trip up there after Christmas, I haven't been to Darwin since the 90's, so it'll be good to get up there and have a look around, and catch up with you. Cheers, Terry.

I got the galaxy s5 Tez, and quite happy with it.

Yea sheriff,dont buy no damn iphone

[mick7504]

One of my boys at the workshop, young Kane, was having a fair bit of trouble with his iphone.
He persevered with it for a while until he got the sh1ts with it and angry as a mad dog pissed off, so he poured a tin of petrol over it and burnt the fcuka. 
True story. 

[faux fiddy]

Yeah, there's plenty of stuff to be pissed off about.


I just found this saved in the puter.

It pisses me off.

[Terry in Australia]

Yea sheriff,dont buy no damn iphone

Ha ha, I'm too lousy to buy an iPhone Mark, but if the company wants to give me one for free, I'll take it. Pete, I've got a little baby Samsung smart phone here that my son loaned me, I hated it until I understood how to use it (I like my old Nokia's) but now it's kinda grown on me.

Mick, my oldest son was having problems with his iPhone4, so he dropped it into a bucket of water, then took it to his iPhone dealer, who replaced it with an iPhone 5. When he came over last weekend he had an iPhone 6, but I didn't ask him how he got it..........

Sean, that thing pisses me off too. The problem with comparing a manager with a Sumarai for instance, is that a Sumarai will always be a Sumarai, but most managers are a dime a dozen. As an example, the company I work for has just won another big contract, however, some of the services we provided in the previous contract are no longer required, so the people who managed those services have been "let go".

It reminded me of something my mother said to me many years ago about "self importance". She said to always treat other people fairly, because you might be a rooster today, and a feather duster tomorrow............ Cheers, Terry.

They are Fiats. No one can park them correctly, they rust too fast. One tip and they fall asunder.

Well, after two cancellations at short notice I finally attended for my three-yearly colonoscopy today. Don't know quite how I fcked the doctor off, but I must have done somehow as I felt every twist and turn of the scope and had to have gas and air like they give to birthing mothers, on top of the sedation they'd already put in, which seemed to have no fkcn effect at all I squirmed and wriggled and whined like a little girl. All this having not eaten for a day and a half and having spent said day and a half sitting on the crapper wondering if it would ever be safe to get off it.

Any relief I may have felt after the procedure, as I recovered eating cold toast with luke warm tea, was shortlived when the nurse came over to me and told me the doctor had decided I had 'insufficient bowel prep' and I've got to do it all again in four weeks' time. Now that pissed me off.

Glad to hear it was uncomfortable, imagine the crap you'd cop here if you enjoyed it...   Last time I had a colonoscopy they used twilight sedation, don't remember a thing...I'd be pissed too...

[martin99]

Not as much crap as the Doc copped, apparently Boy, I hope I don't get him next time 'cos if he remembers me I'm toast

This is NOT the news I wanted to hear. The reason why is because I'll be scheduled for my very first colonoscopy very soon and I'm definitely not looking forward to it.
