Hey Mick, did your mate get married in NZ too? If so, what's his husband's name?

Tim, what're you doing with Grandkids? Did you inherit some? Have a good day mate, I've just got back from Sydney and I'm gonna drag my Goldwing out and go for a scoot! Cheers, Terry.

Yup. Inherited.  Realistically I'm far too young to have any.

I keep telling myself that.....but it's getting harder to believe.

And that pisses me off.......

[Terry in Australia]

Yep, my brother in Townsville was talking about his girlfriend's grandkids staying over for the school holidays, and I thought, :Geez, how old is your girlfriend?" then I thought, hell she'd only have to be in her forties to be a grandma, or even younger, especially in Tasmania?

I pumped the swimming pool out last weekend to do some repair and maintenance which pissed me off. 

About 20 odd years ago when I did the pool, an ol' mate said to me that I'd be married to it.
He said that you gonna be spending a whole lot of time and money on it.
I should've listened to him and I'm pissed off that I didn't. 

Anyway, I thought that I'd do the right thing and put the discharge hose from the pump into the cooks garden bed and give it a good soaking.
Well this old 4 inch pump blows out at 2300 Litres/minute and it blew a bloody big cave under her favourite Golden Cane tree which pissed her off. 

So now theres about a foot of ground water that's bled through the hydrostatic valve in the pool base and the friggin Cane Toads have moved in.
Think that I might have a cold beer before I get anymore pissed off today.

My bet is Mick and Dave will have headaches this morning.....that'll piss them off! 

i dont get hangover headaches,,no brain cells left you see,no brain cells left you see,i aint got no brain cells left you see,id be pissed off if i had any because then id remember how much headaches hurt,,but i dont have any brain cells left you see,it should piss me off but i dont remember how to be pissed off,,i aint got no brain cells,if i had a brain child would it have a big headache though?

[Terry in Australia]

That's a great looking pool Mick, and probably mandatory equipment in Darwin? I didn't know that Cane Toads had made their way up that far north, but there you go, and why not?

Apart from Abo's, you've got every other undesirable creature sharing your real estate, apart from Juliar, but if she needs somewhere to hide from the Labour party after September, I'd be keeping an eye out for a big arsed ranger hiding in your pool and pissing off the Cane Toads! Cheers, Terry.

[dave500]

i thought that was juliar in his pool?

[mick7504]

Put one of those stupid looking red jackets on a cane toad and it'd pass for the Dragon Dave. 

[mick7504]

I just saw that the old post post count has clipped 1500.
That's talkin' a lot of sh1t. 
If it doesn't piss me off, someone else will be. 

[Terry in Australia]

Nope, that's Wayne-ker Swan trying to find somewhere to hide before we find out that we've got a massive budget deficit next month! Oh well, that's enough politics, I'm gonna go get wasted...............

1500 Mick? get some time up mate, I've probably pissed off almost 10 times more people than you with my bull#$%*!

I'ts a big bugga mate.
55000 litres.
I buggered my back up big time a long time ago from playing footy, crashing motorbikes and the odd punch up and body slam after the pub shut. (As you do when your a young fella) 

The ol' Doc was filling me full of back drugs at the time and I didn't like that so I asked him what the alternative is??
He reckoned that swimming is the go.
Yeah, beauty, Crocs, Box Jellyfish and throw in a few Nohas Arcs.
So that's how the pool eventuated.

I didn't mean for it to be that big, but the old judgement was a bit blurry back in those days. 
The ol' mate is a wizard on a backhoe and he did a detailed excavation.
17 cubic meters of sprayed conc and 1000 metres of 1/2" & 5/8" rio bar and the job was right.

The waterfall is made from Granite rock that we got from Mt Bundy Quarry down near the Bark Hut on the Arnhem Highway.
Cost me a carton of VB which pissed me off. 

It gets the kids outside and keeps them active which is worth a million bucks.
Otherwise they'll sit inside watching Tele or on the computer which pisses me off. 

[Terry in Australia]

Yeah, I love pools, but here in Melbourne they're a waste of time mate, so it was no surprise when I went to work for the plant hire company that they did a lot of business filling in pools.

They'd pull 'em right out for cashed up customers, but if you were short of that sorta dough, they'd just send a 7 ton excavator or a backhoe with a breaker to punch a few holes in the bottom of it.

I went around to a rented house in Broadmeadows (actually a really nice house, out of character for Broady) to look at a job. The tenant was freaking out, because the owner had just filled in the old pool with topsoil without first punching some holes in it, and when it rained the dirt turned into quicksand! To top it off, there was a family of rats living in there too (not sure why) and they were big stinky buggers.

Is your pool salt water? A mate in Brissie had a salt water pool, it was great, but his little hairy dogs loved the taste of the salt water, so they'd drink straight out of the pool, then spew back into it. He asked me if I wanted to take a dip, but I politely declined......... Cheers, Terry.

[mick7504]

Yeah mate.
Salt is the only way to go.
There's a lot less maintenance.
The initial cost hits the old pocket but it walks all over a chlorine pool.
The main problem here is lightening in the Wet Season which cooks the Chlorinator circuit boards.
The first one I had lasted about 15 years and this one which is only about 5 years old is fcuked already.
It is a genuine piss off but what can you do?

The fcuken insurance company wants me to pay insurance on the pool because they reckon that it's part of the main structure.
It's in the bloody back yard and nothing to do with the house.
So I asked 'em what's gonna fcuk the pool and they reckon that an earthquake will.
If we have a big earthquake or a cyclone, I'm gonna be be in the pool with the esky and a coupla roast chooks until things are nice and calm again.
Insurance companies piss me off. 

[Terry in Australia]

Mmmmnnnn, sounds good to me mate, an esky and a couple of roast chooks would go down pretty well right now, my pizza washed down with several Scotch and Coke's were good tonight, but you can't beat a good chook and a few coldies. Not a bad way to see out the end of the world.......

[scunny]

#$%*e, no one told me the world was about to end. is there a set time or do I have to wing it as usual.

[Retro Rocket]

Well Scunny, if you have a couple of cartons and a couple of roast chooks, winging it will do just fine, followed by drumsticking it ....

I always liked chicken, a bit of leg, a bit of breast and a bit of stuffing.....   sounds a bit like my sex life....

[petercb750]

You f#@k roasted chooks??? 
That's just weird 

[Retro Rocket]

You f#@k roasted chooks??? 
That's just weird 

Only if they are warm Pete....

I'm really pissed off that my mrs saw how the chicken shop tied their legs together with elastic and string.......she seems to have latched onto that idea........

[mick7504]

Is that a subtle hint Pete.
 
One thing that I have worked out is that Yes means No and No means Yes.   
Its still a complication that pisses me off.   

[Retro Rocket]

Women are a complication that pisses me off....thats why they made beer, and everyone lived happily ever after....

[petercb750]

And 'whatever' means no. And 'no there is nothing wrong' means yes there is.
FFS, no wonder I'm ageing before my time.....
