How generous!

NOT!

Spend a dollar at Woolworths, earn 1 point discount.

For every 2000 points, get a $10 discount.

... or in real terms, get a $5 discount for every $1000 you pay out... that’s one half of 1% discount, or 5 cents discount for every $10 spent....

Well, whoopee-bloody-do! ... that means I can save about 75 cents per fortnight on groceries.

That’s about as useful as giving a goldfish a new pair of snow gloves.


Only have to buy a single pack of bacon at ALDI to save $3.50, ... or a pork roast, to save $6 on Woolies price?

(Guess who shops at ALDI?)

No thanks!... I prefer the comfort of my ST (at least I can stretch my legs!)

A LAWNMOWER has larger wheels and engine than this?

In case of engine failure in flight, it is inadvisable to climb onto the wing to pull-start it again.

The all-electric version has more appeal, but where do you find a recharge point at 5 thousand feet?

[Kev Murphy]

I suppose there is a very good reason that the above does not have retractable undercarriage?

(Pilot is probably adverse to having a pair of wheels jammed up his ....)

That's when you pray to God to send down a charge or 2.

Vic toilet paper truck clean-up drags on.
Toilet paper truck blocks Vic freeway
AAP on September 21, 2016, 9:08 am


Drivers have been warned a Melbourne freeway where a toilet paper truck tipped may still be closed at evening peak time.

Some observers seem to be enjoying the incident online.

Bummer that some will be late home for dinner tonight.

Lucky they didn't wipe out any other vehicles...

"Was it a dump truck?" asked Shmick on Twitter.

"No skidmarks visible," Melbourne traffic reporter Jimmy Wirtanen posted.

"Take the number 2 exit," replied Patty.

I wonder if the driver has finished the paperwork yet?

Did he have to report the incident in 2 ply or 3 ply, or was it double length?

Was the driver flushed after the incident?

Was the truck folded or scrunched?

"Cleanup on lane 1 and 2!"

"Honey, I pranged the truck this morning... no crap!"

Oh yes, They are out there, Be afraid, Very afraid.

I think this headline may be slightly sensationistic.

We were promised buckets of rain overnight.
Didn't happen. Miserable .4mm
We wuz robbed!

I can think fast when pressed.

Mobile rang Saturday afternoon about 5:30 PM ....Overseas displayed... I was bored...
I was greeted with a cheery “Good Morning!”
Another Indian telemarketer, offering a very good exclusive offer, ‘very chip’ phone connection,
AIRTEL being the name of the provider. http://www.airtel.in/forme/home

UH- HUH?... I kept him on the phone for around 30 minutes...

 

I let him prattle on about capped plans etc for mobiles for awhile, then asked about fixed lines. He got very enthusiastic. I then said that this was not my primary number, but the fwding number for when I am out of the office, but I had forgotten to change it this morning as I do not work on Saturday.
I asked if it was possible for him to change the Provider for the primary service account, which he assured me could be done on Monday.
I explained to him that Telephone Service Provider accounts in this country were called ‘Fergen’ accounts, ...named after one of our Telecommunication pioneers, and he would have to speak to the man in charge, Theg Hunt.
I had him repeat the name and position, and spell it back to me, to ensure he had the details correct. (I didn’t even snicker when he repeated it...)
He asked for the primary number, which I provided, (131 237) and I instructed him to call this number on Monday, and to ask for this accounts person by name and position, to obtain credit card details to pay for the transaction.
A very happy chappy... he thanked me profusely before hanging up.
Made his day.

Love to be a fly on the wall when Australian Federal Police get a call on Monday from a cheery Indian asking to speak to  “Theg Hunt, in charge of Fergen Telephone accounts.......”

(The number quoted is a hotline for Australian Federal Police Assistance, at a Defence, Diplomatic or Government Establishment.......)

.... I’m bad... Kev

To stop you from snacking between meals..

Warmish today?... nearly 9.5 degrees outside, and it's only 11 am!


(a whole bucket of sarcasm here)

[Kev Murphy]

had an incredible max here of 11.1 degrees at 1pm, but then a cloud passed over and the temp dropped again.

Only need 4 bursts of sunshine like this each day, and my tyre valves might thaw!

Opened the door to let the cats out, they looked at me weird   "It's a trick, innit?.. you let us out, close the door, and turn on the rain again?"

Cairns 20:50 Hrs (10 to 9 at night for the 24hr clock challenged) and it still over 24 degrees with 93% humidity.. apparent temperature feels like 28 degrees.

Some low temperatures would be welcome here... but not the cats, sorry Kev.. 

[Kev Murphy]

9.3 here at 2300, dropping to around 6 overnight.

Cats claimed the bed at about 2100 (Timer on the lekky blanket kicked in, has an audible click... seems to be a cat magnet..)

[Kev Murphy]

Am willing to trade 2 bags of cold for 1 of warm.

Also have 2 and a half hours of daylight saving left over from last year?  Very handy if you get the sudden urge to cut the lawn at 1 am....

[Kev Murphy]

Help yourself to any of these, Craig. Would gladly swap the full week for even just one day that I don't have to run the heater.

Poor fan heater is nearing retirement, has run 24/7 for almost 4 months!

[Kev Murphy]

[Kev Murphy]

No rain in past 24 hours, but it's a comin! - only between 5 and 10 mm expected

[Kev Murphy]

The ground is wet outside, but only just! Probably more water in my sink than on the whole street?
Not enough to register in the rain gauge.

[Kev Murphy]

....YET!....

[Kev Murphy]

I wonder how many of   (around 2 million who had not returned their census by yesterdays knock-off date)   will start whinging about the fine?

 It's not like it happened at short notice or anything?

[Kev Murphy]

Constant drizzle now for the past 2 and a half hours, but still no recordable volume. I think it is evaporating from the breeze faster than it is falling.
