  • Well things are rather back to normal after the weather event. I keep getting told that it wasn’t a cyclone, meh it was wet, windy and disturbing. It caused one heck of a lot of chaos too.

    I have a minor gripe about something irrelevant. I get irrationally annoyed and definitely confused when people boil a full kettle of water to make just one cup of tea. It’s a waste of time and electricity. Well anyway, if you have any similar gripes please let us know. Also, have a lovely day.











  • We have been without power for days now. The other islands are very much without power as the feeds to them are stuffed so I heard from a linesman.

    I’ve been for a few drives around here and it’s a damn mess. Never seen anything like it.

    Glad you liked it here. It’s not for everyone and it gets a lot of bagging. Depends how you live and who your friends are. Each to their own.



  • Well I hope we all got through Alfred without incident. (I was going to say that I hoped we all “stayed safe” but grumpy bum might be here) I’ve been without power since last night as have about a quarter of a million people around SEQ.
    Here’s hoping that all gets fixed soon enough.
    I read earlier about one death which was a man driving in a flooded spot. Not nice at all and although it’s frowned upon and he paid dearly, I do understand the desire to get somewhere and making bad decisions. Bless his soul.
    I imagine we will be seeing more devastating news as the day (s) go on.
    I had a look outside with a torch at about 3:15 but I’m yet to look outside in the light.
    This old Queenslander seemed to have fared well, there’s so many trees all around.
    Here’s hoping the rest of the communities in these Islands are all doing fine.

    Ok stay sa…urm, OK keep out of harm’s way everybody.









  • Well people could stop buying those big Rams and all that. Having said that, I got talking to a Kiwi bloke that comes into work as a contractor. His has a 6.4 litre diesel engine and it gets better fuel economy than my Subaru Outback. Like WTF !?

    He also told me all the comparisons with his LandCruiser, and the Ram wins absolutely.

    Also, it’s not America in general, it’s that fuckung orange piece of shit and his cyber robot that were really against. What a bad shit show. Lots of people siding with Russia all of a sudden. Talk about blind sheep, sheeeesh.
