Thread: Don't you hate it when some people know it all?

Haven’t seen any around Whyalla.

The Baygon method is ok if you aren’t holding a cigar lighter flame in front of the can when you spray them.

Why on earth would any sane & caring person do that?


Shirley not you Mr Tombs?

Mate - love it here. Moved here 15 years ago after coming up here for work trips.

No Red dust issues for over 10 years
150m to the beach from my house
Ocean views
Great fishing
Flinders Ranges 45 min away
Great offroad driving 5 min away

Day trips to Gawler Ranges, Flinders, Lincoln, Coffin Bay, West Coast SA.

Only bit that sucks - no Bunnings within 2.5 hours. (So that’s a good day trip too)

Hello All,

Over the weekend I was talking to a 20 something year old male about towing capacity, motor vehicles and car trailers. He insisted he had towed his mates GU Patrol with his Toyota Hilux from the Gold Coast to Bundaberg. This task was accomplished just by using a standard U-Haul trailer. According to them a GU Nissan Patrol weighs in at 4 tonnes by the way!

I asked him to repeat the weight - yes I heard correcly the first time. A GU Nissan Patrol comes in at a weight of 4 tonnes. I was treated like a right dill by asking him to repeat it.

Funny how the International 1973 D-Series 1210 Four wheel drive van I had weighed on a weighbridge only weighs in at 2.56 tonnes. It was so hard not to shake my head when I walked away. But I knew better to point out the comparative weights between a GU Patrol and a D-Series Inter and the difference in size, capacity (GVM) and yes, TARE weight.

Kind regards
Lionel

And i bet no traffic,which is a killer here.

Yes,having Bunnings that far a way would be a PITA.

I was asked if using Baygon was humane.
I responded by eluding that as long as it wasn’t used as a makeshift flame thrower it would probably be alright.

Closest I’ve got to that was a gallon of 91 Octane down a fire ant hole and a match.

I didn't think I imagined that maybe it read wrong.but it is a wonder you are still here, all that fuel & a sudden Kabooooom. I bet the ants were not happy.
