Grumpy old buggers thread

One day, just one day, after buying something from the 'Jolly Green Giant', that comes with its own screws, I'll remember to buy some aftermarket, decent screws!

Sure. Sure you will....

[Tins]

No not that JT.

Pheww!!

Sure. Sure you will....

Can one really, really do that these days? The green shoppe ones don't usually last & break at the final tightening/torsioning.


They are as cheap & nasty as the bought article IMHO.

It must be me

Checking re W.I.P. nursing incentive payments- Love Nurse support! They rock and make everything better


A gov type carrot and stick "Workforce Incentive Program " got a budget boost and dopey me asked a question of "Can WIP be paid retrospectively and what date do the Budget changes start for other changes?"

I was emailed information on multiple topics and multiple pages PLUS! I dutifully read the lot. The information source will not be named and shamed as They did ask if I had applied for another bucket of cash on offer? Nice??? None of it answered my questions of course!

I do not have time to look at the bucket of CASH until I get the answers to my questions

I need a holiday clearly PS bucket of cash is probably some one trying to stop dummy spits

edit pic in your mind to Looks like just over James's place!!!

I sort of understood Karma. Today it hit me in the face


"karma is (1) the executed action as a consequence of that activity, as well as (2) the intention of the actor behind an executed action or a planned action (described by some scholars^[10] as metaphysical residue left in the actor). A good action creates good karma, as does good intent. A bad action creates bad karma, as does bad intent.^[3]"

In left lane of two lanes. It is a clear way so of course as I came over a small hill in lots of traffic a car was parked Put indicator on well before in the slow moving traffic. A nice gap which I was about to wave my thanks for closed up VERY quickly. Thats fine and clearly not illegal in any way- Not stressed myself- The L plater who came right up to the obstruction in front was stuck! Moved over and gave the nice person The WAVE Stopped for second to let the L plater in and then Karma bit !!!


The ute which was legally able to do as it did then came up to a yellow light at turning yellow 150 metres or more before the lights. Before they got to the now RED LIGHTs they had a long way to stop OR Do as they did and Speed UP a lot to enter the red light at speed. ZOOOOM.

As I said Karma right in front of me all on camera

Hope this one passes muster. I really hope she is ok!

"

Head line like that just screams look at me. My Dad has dementia its not funny due to that, I appreciate the knife she had was probably as she was terrified and confused where she was. I appreciate the poor police probably need counseling after tasering a 95 year old great gran!

That she is ok and recovering is great. She should be proud I hope of being a fully fledged Grumpy Old Bugger in the finest way possible!
