Rain.

Sun.

Yeah nice and muggy. At 5 pm last night it was 32 degrees in my living room. It’s almost “winter” FFS.

Regarding the sprinklers all going off. I assume you’re familiar with the type that have the glass bulb type that has water in the system waiting to drop. I enquired about this years ago at work here in Australia where we use those types of systems ( I was an electrical fire alarm tech/ installer for a long time ) There are “dry” types that don’t have the glass bulbs and no water in them. When there’s a fire the water gets pumped through the system. I don’t actually know what sets them off to be honest.

Thanks. It’s just all so messed up though. Who are these people, like really !? They’re not obviously into making anything great again ( ok maybe the Soviet Union god forbid ) I think at this stage we should all be aware that America is capable of, and indeed has done plenty of beyond atrocious things. Here’s hoping they did these things in good faith, trying to make the world safer ( I’m just not so sure anymore ).

But this period, this MAGA Orange blowhard timeframe is just something else entirely ( I think ) They’re doing stuff all out in the open, and the masses are just accepting it. Jesus, “Don’t tread on me” ???

More like trample all over me lots and lots and I’ll lick those boots while you’re at it. I’m blown away by all of it, truly.

Never heard of her until just now. Hopefully I’ll give her a listen.

One can but hope. I fully understand that there’s layers, but it also seems that too many fuckers bend to his ways. I hope, absolutely hope that when he dies ( sooner rather than later ) that his messed up ways are at the very least diluted. At best of course is that the whole MAGA thing vanishes.

And just so you’re aware, I’m in Australia, you’d think this is bugger all to do with me. ( As I have been told more than once on Reddit ) But I have never hated a person on the way I hate that orange shit stain. That fucker is an absolute danger to the world. It’s unfathomable that he’s got this far.

For sure but when the Orange Muppet ( sorry Muppets ) is dead hopefully corrections can be made. Also I have bought a very decent bottle of bubbly this week in anticipation of such a wonderful event.

12 Monkeys for sure. I loved it at first, but after a while it just seemed to be basically the same thing over and over. I also got sick of all the fighting and shootouts. It became a real slog towards the end.

Yeah I’m supposed to be helping empty a shipping container tomorrow morning and it’s supposed to be extremely wet. However, I have a good work raincoat, gloves and Wellies.

Thanks.

Not loving this moist stuff falling from the sky. A bit is fine but this seems rather relentless. 6 am as I write from work, I wonder how many pile ups will happen today ? It will be more than one I’m sure sadly.

Glad it’s Friday and will be having a sleep in tomorrow. Not for long as I have some stuff to do, but getting up at 3:40 for work in the week truly sucks.

Hope you all have a lovely day.

I got banned by the mods after they removed my post two ANZAC days ago. I simply asked “What are you doing for ANZAC day ?”.

I obviously upset them by asking them to explain why a post about “where can I get a sandwich” can stay up but my question gets taken down.

My questioning and also my suggestion that some of them need to recuse themselves resulted in a ban due to “zero tolerance these days”. Their words.

I posted that question to the Australian sub and it received a decent amount of interaction, some of it not positive.

So this ANZAC day I made up a new account and asked “In Brisbane, what are you doing for ANZAC day ?” This of course was removed, my questioning then led to a one month ban and I haven’t been back.

Last week to add insult to injury I got a text message on my phone from NoSoulGinger. ( Been a mod for a fair while ) She sent me a screenshot with some unknown to me username abusing a mod. Calling them a “worthless human being” and “see you at the next Meetup, stay safe”. She told me that I…yes me, don’t have to be a “dick” to them. I calmly explained that I don’t use the sub anymore and so no that wasn’t me.

The next day I inquired where my apology was. This caused massive annoyance from her resulting in me blocking her on my phone.

Lol so no, I’m not frequenting that place. The mods are obviously on their high horses and have let the place turn to crap a few of us believe. A different Brisbane sub started up a fair few months ago, I’m unsure how it’s going. One of the Bris mods showed up using his alt account enquiring why there was so much negativity towards the Bris sub and/or mods. I politely explained that if they didn’t ban lots of people for hardly anything that the mods might be a little more popular.

Anyway it’s all quite sad and I don’t lose any sleep over it. Cheers.

Ok sorry mate. But you’re from Reddit right, TheRedKrawler ? And damn you do do some ks then. Regards, Old BOLAX.

Yup I’m sick of being damp every time I exert myself a little. I still do not like the cold, but considering I used to work in minus 5 I shouldn’t complain. I lived in Cairns for a year and I’m unsure why people flock there really. There were so many British people living there which confused me, one bloke ( a barber ) told me that they think they come here for the heat and so gravitate up there. Stuff that.

Hmmmm, sounds like you’re still doing delivery work. It’s obviously been good to you over the years. Very happy for you. These years are flying by also but there’s nothing we can change there.

Oooh where do you live ? Please do tell. Ok no I’m not going to build a shipping container home. They’re going to be temp storage for all my furniture and shit ( lots of shit ) and tools etc.

I got both of them from the same bloke and at a decent price.

So you got the sun already hey ? Bit bloody early. There’s still time for snow and or sleet yet though don’t forget.

Oh and also, the first container is now in place. Exciting times, and scary. I intend to build my own house over the next few years. Eeeeek.

If it helps any, I was born in England so there’s a chance I might not be as tough as you thought. However I’m from the North so take yer chance there.

Apart from that, noon will be noon at whatever place we meet. Having said all of this, you can have her. My single life is very peaceful so enjoy.

Never complaining about the colder temps ever again. I truly believe this has been a lot hotter, and for longer than my previous 31 summers here in Aus. ( My first decades were in England by the way )

Ok ok I might complain a little again in say August, but I’ll try not to.

With increased age comes great wisdom, or lack of energy to give a F

This is really good and I hope you all do some good. Lots of good. I feel it’s all quite hopeless though here looking from afar in Australia. Like…isn’t that what voting is all about in the first place ? Best of luck with it all and sorry to be cynical.

Well I do mean all of that.

I suppose I wouldn’t mind the last bit too, although I daresay I’m not worthy of her.
