hard to spot intermittent shorts piss me off,had a ride organised this morning and my mate rings as ive gotten fuel at the meeting point servo saying he keeps blowing a fuse,(one fuse only circuit)its an old 80s suzy gs450 cafe sort of thing,,with a lot of tape wrapped around the wiring here there and everywhere,so three blokes and a few hours later we find the miniscule short under the seat,and take about a quarter of the ride we intended,,he was pissed off,its really a reliable bike that really goes well and he chases modern bikes on it,im not joking he can ride this thing and embarrasses late sport bikes on downhill runs,i can only out ride him up hill with my extra 100 cc,now were gonna re work half the loom to tidy it up later on,short circuits piss me off!

Palm fronds piss me off.  ;D

They're easy fixed Mick, that Prado, a chain wrapped around the top of the tree and low range will do the trick.  ;D

I've taken a few out like that mate.
in the photo with the pile of fronds, there's the trunk of a triangle palm that got the 4wd treatment the other weekend.

I started off steady and it was like a bungy cord springing the Toyota backwards so I stuck in low range and put the pedal to the metal and it snapped clean off at the base.  ;D

I have taken out a few like that, one place I lived there was about 20 on a 1/4 acre block, they got the Pajero treatment after I had to pick up the palm fronds a few times ;D.

Yes Terry,
we have Moose in Vermont.
It pisses me off that they don't taste as good as Kangaroos,
but still do a lot of damage when you hit them.

PS. Do not sneak up on a moose and hit it with a stick. They don't like that & it pisses them off.
Laugh at least once a day.

I imagine they would do a bunch of damage to your car. No moose here but we do have a bunch of white tail deer which are lucky to be half the size of a moose and they do enough damage to the front end of a car as it is. It pisses me off that those suckers don't look both ways before crossing the road.

I've got a P.O. gripe!   Just drained a set of forks and one was filled with some kinda light grey sludge, the other was filled with some dark purple sh*t....  I mean seriously people, WTF ??? Hahaha.

The brother arrives from Adelaide today.
He works for the National Broadband Network (NBN) mob.
Anyway, the mob that was contracted to do the job ended up pulling the pin on it .
Probably some politics involved there which pissed 'em off.  ;D

So him and his crew have to walk the line and inspect and report on the work that's already been undertaken which includes checking every man hole and underground corridor.

A good weeks walk out in the Darwin sunshine should piss 'em off.  ;D

The little puke around the corner and his noisy ass Harley. He's riding all over the neighborhood, sounds like my drag car accelerating and cackles like a jake brake on decel. He's going to make the entire neighborhood pissy and then, when on the rare occasion I need to start my dragster to set the timing or valves I'll get the cops called on me.
 He signed the list to be a pipefitter apprentice and asked me to show him how to pass a 6G weld test some afternoon when I have time.  So he can get in sooner. Really? Heck after lunch we should rent a plane and learn to fly too.

And the copper from the pole to the house is worse than both, the NBN has not been handled well but i can't wait for it to get to my place, unless the other #$%*wits can it, There is a lot of conjecture about the fiber optic cables but most agree it will last as long as the copper , if not longer, besides its a lot cheaper to replace and by then the outer coating of the cable will be a lot better, lasting well over the coppers useful life and cheaper to replace, besides, fiber optic cable has only been around for 35 years and it hasn't failed yet, so realistically, no one knows how long it will last..  All the same, politicians on both sides bullsh1t that much that the bullshidt thread on this forum could run the country better and still be more honest..... :o ;D  Open season on pollies anyone...?  that outa piss them all off {for good would be nice}    8)

The grey sludge will be water mixed with the remaining fork oil when the water has ingressed past your worn out fork seal mate, and the purple stuff will be fork oil not affected by water ingress, i.e., that seal is not leaking. (but replace it anyway)  It pisses me off that you didn't know this! ;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?"

The bro reckons that the Fibre Optic is the go and Abbot's copper alternative is a Fkn political joke.
Nevertheless, its gonna cost a lot of money but he reckons that its a worthwhile investment in the long run for the country.

The other important issue today is that the bro is making me drink this South Oz Coopers Fkn Ale which pisses me off.  ;D

Oi. Years ago coopers was murky lumpy cat's piss, but they got their act together and now everybody drinks it. Except me. I don't drink anymore (for about the last, fark, nearly 20 years, ffs where has that gone), but going by the amount you see being drunk at any event or pub it must be good piss now.
But I still enjoy listening to you guys getting pissed and dribbling piss talk....it makes me wish I still drank piss so I could understand half of it, hahaha. In fact, it pisses me off that I don't get pissed anymore.
Is that enough pisses in one post? ::)

I gave it away myself for over 5 years Pete but then I saw the light.  ;D
But seriously, it was a good thing and a few smashed in over the weekend in moderation is ok I think.

This bloody Coopers was that lumpy that I had to wash it down with a coupla Wild Turkeys.  ;D

In moderation of course which pissed me off.  ;D

That's a fair enough point I think mate.
From now on, we should refer to them as IO's. (Inspection Openings)

Pete, I hope that doesn't piss you off mate.  ;D

There was a Gyno here in Darwin who advertised for a male assistant to massage his clients and get them feeling nice and relaxed before the consultation.

So anyway, this fella applies for the job and is as keen as mustard to start work immediately.
The Gyno fella tells him that there's just one catch.

The line up for the job starts at Ballarat.
That pissed him off.  ;D
