I think Pete's fainted, which is inconvenient, as I need an insurance quote on a new Ford Territory.......... ;D
At least it's not a jeep.....

I'm glad we've got separate toilets at work, the thought of having to take a dump next to a Terry squeezing one out really pisses me off.

Yeah mate, as much as I like the look of the Jeep, by the time a couple of women told me they were crap, I had to give Jeep the arse. I cancelled my test drive and now Jeep are contacting me every day. I think they might be a tad desperate............. Anyway, I did more research and couldn't find any major issues with the Ford, so I'm looking at a new diesel Territory. Cheers, Terry. ;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 new Territories are pretty good, the real early ones had a few issues with randomly snapping lower front control arms, but I think that is all fixed.  As long as you're happy with the build quality of Fords, or lack thereof, they are a pretty reliable bus, as far as I know. 

We currently have a little huntsman living behind the microwave.  The missus being a typical pom absolutely hates spiders and considers a huntsman that is only 2" across the legs as big.  She is currently whinging at me to go and dispose of the poor little bugger.  I don't know, I think they are kinda cute and fluffy.  ;D

Thanks Andrew, I'd heard about the ball joint issues in the early ones, but that's been sorted apparently. As far as the build quality goes, it's not my dream car, it's just a work car, so as long as it ticks the boxes for comfort and fuel economy, I can live with everything else. I also looked at the Holden Captiva, but everything I read about them was negative, they apparently make the Jeep look good? Anyway, I need to get something soon, I don't think there are too many trips left in the little Rally Roo.......... ;D

Thanks Pete, I've only ever had one Mazda, an RX2 Coupe in 1978, and I wish I still had it, it was a little weapon. The CX5 just doesn't appeal, I did like the look of the CX9, but like I said, I really couldn't care less, if I could have my "Dream" car, it'd be an XY GTHO Phase III, but that probably wouldn't be the best for my weekly commute........... ;D

I just remembered something that the auditors "pinged" us for the other day.
We've got a couple of standby Oxy/Acetylene bottles in the corner of the workshop behind a metal cabinet and out of harms way that are apparently suppose to have a chain around them.
This is another audit irregularity that wasn't bought up last year.

So I asked this auditor that how come my Weber Barbie that I bought last Xmas with a bottle of flammable gas doesn't come with a fcuken chain around it.
All it's got to sit in is a plastic poofy tray.
The answer to to that was stupid blank look that pissed me off.
Once again, my response was a silent Get Fcuked. ;D

Fire drills piss me off.
Our fire warden, a total muppet, puts his little yellow bob the builder hard hat on his fat head, calls out "fire"....then waddles up to the park and is first there not knowing if the building is fully evacuated or not....haha nice work muppet. What a leader  ::)

Yeah Mick, by law you can't carry a bottle of inert gas (mig gas, for instance) in the boot of your car, but Achmed at 7/11 couldn't give a flying fcuk if you fill your boot full of 9Kg BBQ bottles, how the fcuk does that work? ;D

One other thing that the fcuking auditors enlightened me about (and made a noted observation in the report) is that the output leads on the battery chargers are by law supposed to be tested and tagged along with the 240 volt input leads.

Well I didn't know that and I asked this auditor fcuka if he was pissin' in my pocket.
Nope.
So I said, Look mate, there's more chance of getting nipped on the ball bag by a red back spider in the #$%*house than what a battery charger lead is capable off. (Sorry Pete)

It doesn't surprise me that there are so many poor bastards walking around with a nervous disposition while the auditors are cruising around with their lists of bullsh1t controls.

I better stop now because I'm getting pissed off thinking about it.  ;D

Yeah Mick, did they check the SWL's for each shelf in your workshop, and to see if there are bollards on each corner? Been there, done that......... ;D

That's no worries Pete, we can come and get him.
The thing to remember about spiders is that they are a bit territorial and they also like their mates hanging around in the general vicinity.
So more than likely, a few of his mates could be lurking in the ute as well.

I reckon that if you sell the ute to Terry or myself at the right price, there'll be nothing more to be concerned about.
Because those Spider/Nerve tablets aren't gonna last forever mate.  ;D

We do luv ya too Pete, even if we are teasin' buggas sometimes.
It's not that we mean to be naughty boys or do it on purpose.
We wouldn't tell any fcuken lies.
No fcuken way.
Honest mate.

Now did Terry, I mean the Victorian SOHC member go into any detail about the type of spiders that he'll be sending if ya don't answer ya fcuking phone.  ;D

No detail but he did sound very threatening. ...he's a nasty bloke that victorian sohc member, nasty.
I had to ring him and had to give the old "this call may be recorded....." spiel to which he kindly replied "well go and get fkd then".....I'm sure the little nerds that monitor the calls would have enjoyed that one. Nasty I say, nasty  ;D ;D

Hey Mick, you had to mention auditors.  I just found out today that we have the chief inspectors coming to work early next month.  From what I've been told, you could only wish they were as nice as OH&S inspectors.   :-\

If you can wait a couple of week Pete, I'll come over and give it a squashing, to apologise for my aggressive behaviour earlier today. I wasn't my usual jovial self today, because I was well pissed off.

You see I'm hoteling it at the moment, and generally I enjoy it, apart from the PITA of having to unpack on arrival each Sunday evening, and pack up again each Thursday night, so I can check out first up on Friday morning.

Anyhoo, the last two weeks I've been staying at quite a nice apartment style hotel in Gungahlin, an outer suburb of Canberra. I quite enjoyed last week so I asked for the same room again this week, anyway, this week I was disturbed from my slumber not once, not twice, but 3 fcuking times, by "Dumb and Dumber", two roadworkers who were billeted in the room next to mine.

These brainless fcukwits would come back to their room late (say around 11pm) each night 3 parts pissed, turn their TV on at max volume, talk absolute schidt, laugh like flushing toilets at each other's "witty banter" (read subhuman grunting of no intelligence at all) and as they were both smokers, they'd go outside for a smoke every 20 minutes or so slamming their rooms door.

These rooms have "smart" electronics, so once you remove your entry card, the lights, TV, aircon etc switches gradually itself off, so I'd have 10 or 15 minutes of peace, then they'd come back, slamming the door on entry, yarping away, then of course once one of them inserted their smart card, the TV would come back on at full volume. Krunts.

The first night, someone on the other side of their room bashed on their door and told them to shut the fcuk up, and all went quiet. I went to reception the next day for some supplies from their pantry, and the young girl asked me how I was enjoying my stay, so I told her about these arseholes, and she gave me a card with the night managers number, and told me to ring him if there was a problem that night. As it was, all was quiet that night, so I thought they'd learned their lesson, and had a good nights sleep.

Next night, they were up to their old tricks. The neighbour on the other side must have checked out, and as I've got to be very careful about getting into potentially violent situations due to a couple of black marks on my otherwise squeaky clean police record, I rang the night manager, and asked him to intervene. No worries, within a few minutes, I could hear him knocking on the door and telling them to shut up. They did.

Well last night I went to bed expecting a lovely sleep, went to bed around 9.30 and immediately fell asleep, then at 11.50, all hell broke loose as the Dumber Brothers arrived home from the pub. Doors slammed, TV's at max volume, yelling, laughing, yahooing, it felt like they were in my fcuking room!

Once again, I rang the night manager around 12.30, and by 1250 or so, he sorted them out again. I was thinking about cutting their throats and watching them bleed out as I positioned them in what would appear to be a homosexual act just to piss off their families, but I reluctantly put that thought away and eventually went off to sleep, before my alarm aroused me at 5am. (I have to be at work by 0600 on Fridays for a teleconference with the US Navy supply guys.) I worked until 1200, then hopped in the Subaru for it's 400 mile drive home. Nothing like a long drive on a warm day when you'd rather sleep than drive.................

So all in all, I've had fcuk all sleep this week, and if I sounded a bit abrupt Pete, I do apologise, as you know, I'm usually like a big friendly Teddy Bear........ ;D     
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

Good luck with the auditors Andrew.
Having the OH&S Inspectors come for a visit is a teddy bears picnic compared to a visit from the coppers without caps.

You can cut 'n polish the concrete floors and the rubbish bins and the dirty bastards will nail ya for using the wrong polish.
One positive that comes out of it all is that it teaches you how to become a sneaky, lying, master of deception.

As they say mate, pre warned is pre armed.
I mentioned earlier that there are a lot of audit irregularities every year which fcuks you up a bit and that's their way of keeping you on your toes.

In a way, it's sorta like being at war in ya head with the dirty bastards.
But if you like a challenge, bring on the fcuken auditors.

Now that I was feeling nice and settled before, I'm feeling fcuken pissed off again about fcuken auditors.  ;D
