Grumpy old buggers thread

I had a few somethings frozen off a couple of weeks ago. My doc is a top bloke, but definitely no sniper.

I had 12 burnt off last visit.

The one on the nose was burnt off twice,before a sample was taken and it came back no good......

FWIW,another guy i know at a site we go to for work,had one on the right side of his face burnt off 4 times,then they biopsied it,came back bad.
Surgery in hospital,they had trouble,eventually got it out,also now needs lymph nodes removed,as it has spread.
He admits he left it too long,before getting it sorted.
Right side of face is often more at risk due to driving,together with top of hands and right arm.

The lesson here is get onto them ASAP,don't leave it and hope it goes away,believe me they never do.

Contractor & OH&S

New mobile internet antenna to go on roof pole on a cold and frosty morning.
A ladder protection for the gutter was a good start, 4 red cones around the base for compliance and photographed for the job report.
He climbs the ladder with a rope to pull up a roof safety plate and places it under some existing roof screws and ties the rope to an inbuilt tie down and descends.
Pulls out an impressive looking fall protection harness and straps himself in before taking a selfie holding the descender fitted to the rope securely.
Then packs the harness away and shimmies up and down the ladder only using the rope to haul gear up and down.
He did a good job, great improvement to speed, but I do wonder what were OH&S thinking. Perhaps it would make a fall claim impossible once the photos of the harness hit the data base.

Anyone working on roofs and the trees are getting tested by the winds in Brisbane today!

I hate it when people say It's a ''game changer'' in fighting cancer, heart disease, etc. Cancer, heart disease, etc., is not a game.

I’m hoping that there’s no “send off “ rule, no red card.

Thing is, all the REAL people who are involved in the care of and treatment of cancer patients are in my experience wonderful people. It’s always the people who want to feel important that make up stuff about ‘game changing ‘.

Just my two bob’s worth

I spent the day at the Mudgee Small Farm Field Day today with my 15yo g/d.

I am grumpy about the distance from the car park to the exhibits - if I had a disabled sticker for the car, I could have parked a lot closer.

And the sun shone straight in my eyes all the way home! And Google tried to take me home through two locked gates and an impassable creek crossing! (But I knew better.)
