Thread: Misc free stuff wanted

Gotta love the scabs, i was dumping some stuff at the tip yesterday and one of them started poking around the trailer before i had even un tied the rope. Now that ****s me, cause until its in the trench i still own it.

Come now man of many stars, it isn;t removing from the tip face, it is recycling from the recycle centre.
If it helps poor Vlad so be it.

Had one like that yesterday. Was driving the kids around and saw a computer in some fella's driveway next to the bins. Knocked on the door, no answer, so didn't pick up the computer. Came back a couple of hours later, parked in the driveway, knocked on the door, woman said take it away, dump it in the back of the truck. There's a fella wanting to get in the driveway, I say, sorry just grabbing computer. He gets all shi**y about it taking his gear off private property, and won't listen when I tell him that I've already got permission to take the stuff away.

Some days you just can't do the right thing.

Cheers
Simon.

Needs knobs (radio knobs from dick smith usually fit) and the auto ignition is stuffed. Main problem is I turfed the crappy cast iron plate it came with and replaced with a 6mm steel plate. Great for slow cooking but doesnt have the power to get it up to a real sizzle so may need to get a thinner plate. Its yours if you want it.

PM sent. Thanks mate

Thanks for the tip Mrs Numpty.

an older gas barby, that has an alum plate with a hole in the middle, think i saw one the other day, at the council recycling centre, will have a look tomorrow, if its there, let me know if you want it and I'll get it for you,
I have an older style gas stove, The type the lid folds down on, two burner type only that it only has one burner, but it works, I'll see if i can get another one, other wise you can have it, if you like.
what else, the place has heaps of stuff that can be used, just need to know exactly what you want.
they even have snow ski's.

i have some alum pole left overs, you may be able to do something with.
their yours. and i do occassionaly drink xxxx. ( only if you can afford it)

Tregeagle may be a bit far from me mate, I;m in Brissie. But thanks for the offers, I really appreciate it.

Vlad it is only just up the road remember, so is redcliffe. besides one of my neighbours goes up every week, to visit his elderly father who still lives there.
Any excuse to go for a drive anyway. it doesn't worry me. Besides I haven't been to have a look at that new ikea store near logan yet.

Had a look at that barby , it was still there, a downunder brand, three legs, round top, single burner , it didn't have a hole in the middle had a squarish groove on the side leading to a hole.
If your interested just say so, I'll organise the rest.

We dont have recycling centres here its tip face or nothing. Either way its recycling though. I got no problem i take stuff to when i see good stuff but if someone was dropping stuff off i would sit back and wait till they get it out of their trailer.

If you have done the right thing, not much else you can do. Is he gunna sit there and wait for the council and abuse them for taking stuff aswell? I dont think it matters who takes it in that case, as long as its gone, i certainly wouldnt care if i had left stuff out for the council on pick up days i wouldnt care to much who took it.
