A real olde farm type dray, Blue with Red wheels & Pete (his draught Horse) would automatically move onto the next house ready for the next Bin. Sometimes he would take the **** & you'd hear "Whoa Pete".

Pete was bit gay I think, he'd get all dressed up in his best Horse Brass Collar & horsey ornaments every day just for the Boss.


You don't see today's Garbos going to all that trouble, even Gay ones.[bigrolf]


Today it would be Doc Martens , black T shirt & shorts & usually called Shaun or Mick..



Ah, happy days. [bigrolf]

My kids over stuffed our bin with styrofoam. I was unaware until I saw our very helpful Garbo get out of his truck to remove some so he could empty our bin. Its a steep hill and the trucks have to stand on the brake or engage parking brakes to even pick up bins usually.
Its very easy to tell a new drive as we can see and hear them swearing as they roll back down the hill [biggrin]
Very happy dayz. I did sent a compliment to all the poor council people who I have a phone or email address for[biggrin]

Whereas our local **** got out, wrote a note saying "couldn't empty bin due to styrofoam", put the note *in* the top of the bin, shut the lid and drove on. I was away on holiday. When I got back, I loosened it all up and sorted it out, then promptly went away again. The ***** did the same thing the following week.

I twigged the problem was there was nothing else in the bin, so no weight behind the foam to push it out, but for the bastards to do that 2 weeks running I thought was a bit rough.

I'm not grumpy though.... much.

ABC- News Corp............ Health Minister for self promotion? TGA- ******? RULZ I am being nasty! It seems fair to me[thumbsupbig]



When can you? When its approved. The Minister said I could! Its on the ABC/NEW....... ARRRRGH


TGA has approved 16 and 17 year olds to get a jab. Problem? ATAGI has not so NO YOU CANNOT.


Phones in vaccine and medical centres all over the county stopped people getting a vaccine or seeing a Doctor when the idiots again gave out ITS APPROVED when it is NOT approved


Its it that blood hard for two government body’s to shhh until they have really done it? Could they just try and coordinate jointly quietly do the bloody job they do or shut the **** up?

Yes I e-mailed Greg ([bigrolf] a mate you see) a few weeks ago to tell him how pleased we were so far with him doing his thing etc etc etc. Just received the usual acknowledgement back, no Autograph, signed photograph or owt.

Spotify dummy spit escalating. Mostly grumpy older types at this point perhaps [biggrin]

Singer Joni Mitchell has joined Neil Young in asking for her music to be removed from Spotify over Covid misinformation concerns.


"Irresponsible people are spreading lies that are costing people their lives," the Canadian singer said in a post on her official website.


On Monday, Young said the streaming platform must choose either him, or the podcaster Joe Rogan.

And to add a bit of depth, both Joni Mitchell and Neil Young suffered from polio as kids, in Joni's case it took several long years and lots of therapy to get past.
This was before the polio vaccine became available, so they both know what can happen without a decent vaccine.

"A COVIDSafe Plan template can be downloaded here: 

www.coronavirus.vic.gov.au/covidsafe-plan#creating-a-covidsafe-plan


Please return this completed document by close of business today and no further action will be taken.

"
Emailed to me. The last line was :bat::bat::bat::bat:

my response was nasty

OMG "no further action"? Can you please complete for me the CVAS ordering, staff Rostering, Payroll. AIR vaccination notifications and also pick up the kids?
Seriously threats are not nice.


Sorry Just finished above and also got rid of practice support emails, fixed up eScript software stuff up and beaten up my software provider. Must be grumpy about your assumptions about timing and if I really want to do as you demand?


I had clicked on your link. Think I'll try when I am not so bloody tired! Any problems call me not email thank you. Your much nice in person than the tone of the email you sent.

Regard Grumpy AKA James[biggrin] I am for it now- DOH staff will shut me down for sure[biggrin]

&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Neil Young also wrote a song that was anti Alabama of the same name on his "Harvest" album which Lynyrd Skynyrd refer to in their song "Sweet Home Alabama".&lt;br&gt;<br>

I don't care where "Bon Bon" is!
Dad, you are a marshmallow, stop spoiling the child.
Mom, you are a liar & not brave enough to own your mistake.
Kid, learn to accept loss, it will happen all though your life. Anyway, you will probably be bored with that toy in 2 weeks.

I HATE this ad!!

Agree about the sneaky mum, but I'm a softy for kids' attachments to soft toys.
