They started out with cheap student insturments and then we bought them the real real good brand ones and you can tell the different in the sound. Kristopher has a Tenor saxophone and he use to play the big Baritone which he borrowed from Andrew when it was need, Brendon has the Alto Saxophone and the clarinet. Mario got a lot of enjoyment from his boy and was proud of them doing music.

    As I have said before insurance companies will just walk away.
    Some may take the risk,but the premiums will be astronomical.



    Maybe then Owners will be back charging claims to the TESLA bloke who apparently started this madness?

    Why not?

    Apparently driving using a phone is a no no so I guess they'd take a very dim view if you were a wannabe Gene Krupa while driving.

    This is a divergence from the thread topic. But the quoted comment does remind me of a discussion I had. There is in Melbourne a block of units getting built. They of course want to go all electric. Ev Chargers for each vehicle in the basement and all electric units. It was brought to there attention that the local power supply could not meet the demand. How about gas cookers. A firm no was the reply. The answer, and I kid you not, a diesel generator in the basement for the EV chargers.
    Cheers Hall

    SNAP! You can expect the same when you live in an area that had seen one only bush fire since 1983 caused by ETSA's ( now SA Power Networks) problem of clashing street cables. It must have cost squillions to rectify as they inserted Fibre Glass rods across cable spans to keep them separated.
    How many cable spans around the State Mr Bee?
    "Must be bloody millions. And who picks up the tab?" Consumers do.

    Today they also have contracted a Statewide scheme to cut back any trees that may interfere with cables.
    No direct charge to consumers but I'm sure it is another thing tacked onto our Bills but not shown.

    Quiet bet...

    last time townsville underwent a "wind event" the insurance for my property (already marked as being in both wind event and floodable areas) went up because "wind event".


    whats a bet it happens again say, 4-6 weeks after the storm.

    whats a bet, next year when there is no "wind event" it wont come back down.

    You reckon house insurance is a trap?
    Truck insurance is an absolute mine field!
    e.g. buy a second hand truck for $100,000, insurance will ask for a nominated sum insured. Truck catches fire (probably parked too close to an EV ), so the owner expects 100k to clear the debt or replace the truck. No, insurance says the truck was only worth 80k, that's all they will pay.
    Same truck, owner nominates 80k, makes a claim for third party damage, the insurance company says it's under insured, so will only pay 80% of the claim.
    It's amazing insurance companies don't know what a truck is worth until the insured makes a claim.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.
