Yeah, I know your pain Mick, my oxy hoses have perished to the point where I can't be bothered using it any more, and within months of getting new ones, they fcuking fall apart too.
Speaking of burning down houses, my poor mate is in more #$%*e than the early settlers, and it's all about a dirty conniving scrag whore taking advantage of his generosity.
Seriously, he's too fcuking nice, and that's probably why he puts up with me, but when his slut of an ex left with 200k of his money, he started going out with a few old bags, and anyway, long story short, he had an "on again, off again" relationship with a banged out old slapper for a couple of years, and even went in halvies in a house with the dried up old mole, so she had somewhere to live after her ex kicked her wrinkly arse out of the marital home. He didn't live there, and the rumour was that he had to ask her if it was ok to come over and visit, so it's not like they were living together.
Well, they eventually stopped seeing each other, so he suggests that they sell the house and go their own ways (he'd put in 150K and she'd only put in 10K anyway, but he was happy for her to get half so she could buy another property) so she promptly sues him, for half of everything he owns, and his $700K super! (401K for my Seppo pals)
Apparently you only have to be in a relationship with some fcuked out old tart for 3 months here in Victoria and they can consider that a "common law marriage", and as they were going out for two years, bought a house together etc, he's fcuked. He was going to retire at the end of the year, he's got his daughters wedding coming up, and it just stinks that some crazy front-bum can pull the rug out from under him and walk away with probably half a million bucks of someone else's money, where's the justice in that?
Now through his own hard work he owns a house that's probably worth close to a mil on a good day, his fathers house (probably around 250K) and half of said slutbags house, and now she wants half of everything? Fcuking old mole, if I see that hoary #$%* I'm gonna run her over, even if I have to drag her out in the street to do so! Money grubbing sluts piss me off! It's no wonder there are so many poofters out there...................
