Continuing Rant Thread - Get it Off Ya Chest here

We purchased a 2nd hand hoover WM when we moved into our first place. It was 15yrs old when we bought it, and happily kicked on for another 5 years. That thing was a god dam sturdy machine..

Alas, SWMBO wanted a freshie when we moved this year so our removalist took it for his towel-washing side business.

Sorry, but they are the same person

I'm not having it. SLJ is at least two feet taller and far less offensive.
I'll have something to say about that in the funny videos section.

when I said karked it I mean blew all the fuses in the house, smoke coming out the back type karked it, not replace the brushes / fix the belt etc type karked it, which U.S. pretty much all thst Google is good for. Mind you, I still have a snaky suspicion that SWMBO sabotaged it as she's been complaining for a while that it was looking old and tatty
(Edit) which may well mean I'm f****d, given I'm older and tattier

Turn the ss drum into some huge BIAB thing and she'll regret it if she did. If she didn't, well you got a big BIAB rig, win win

Sulphur Crested Cockatoos. We have a few dozen of them locally and are they loud flying around screeching at 05:30 every morning and again at 6:00 PM. Don't need an alarm clock.

The Black Cockeys are much more civilised and refined

Winter is making its mark felt

If only I could find the stainless steel tub from a washing machine that I could build a fire in, especially when you have a keg of left overs that is best drunk beside a nice warm fire out in the back yard.

Hit me up if u need a fire pit Stu, I have one blaring around the corner from yours most mornings at work. Built a couple of basic 44gal drum ones, but they work.

They still exist. Woolworths have them for about $1. Finally found one. Hard steel. Still perfect a year later.
The fancy $10 ones last about 10 opens....

It still burns me up and get's my goat with the prices they charge for a six pack of beer compared to the carton price. :angry: A six pack should be a quarter of the carton price and no more.

 

[sponge]

Probably best not to show you the prices of singles..

4 hours of work in front of me and the " boss" thinks I will get it done in 1 hour. Yeah **** off!
I can't pull a rabbit out of a hat for him ,but I sure as **** can pull a hare ( hair) out of my arse if he wants.
FFS. I give up.

Who the **** approves the nationwide making of pizza with cheeseburgers, hot dogs or meat pie with sauce baked into the crust?
When approved, who the **** decides to buy it and eat it?

Do we have an obesity problem? Not if you select diet coke to go with your deluxe cheese stuffed abomination.

No I am not eating one - just saw an ad and immediately swallowed the same portion of my dinner for the second time in an hour.

Kinda weird? Looks like an alien ****** the star of david.

That's the marketing shot too - somewhere online I found an actual photo of the actual thing in its actual box.
I'd rather felch amanda vanstone.

For ***** sake. I saw it too last night. Now, I can imagine teenage stoners getting excited over that but really, who will buy that?.



I'll bet they sell shitloads though

Use to get that now and then also. Its kind of code for of saying 'I'd really only like to pay you 1 hour to do this but will be charging the customer for 3'.

I'd rather felch amanda vanstone.

I'm currently was enjoying my a bowl of creamy breakfast porridge so **** you in the ear for making me think that.
