Hows your luck

[Professor Green]

Mine run out last weekend
Picked up a nice 10 liter bottle at a garage sale
Now to clean this sucker out put the garden hose in
Yep the fucking thing exploded
Stitchers all over the face right eye gone [they recon they can rebuild it over time 2 months ]
1 st operation 2.5 hrs 1 hour yesterday
You would recon at my age you would have more sense
Fuck the glass its all stainless for me know

Wow, that is some seriously bad luck. Hope you have a speedy recovery.

Cheers,
Prof. Green.

Jee Zuz Adu glad you didn't loose an eye. Must have had a fault to go like that under domestic mains pressure, have exploding beer bottles about ten or so years back and know how funny it isn't

might add to this thread... :angry-banghead:

Was driving the 4x4 past a major earth moving development area this morning in carina. Heard a bang like a poped tyre. wound window down. fuck a flat oh well im 200m from home ill keep going. get home no flat tyre.
call racq to come look and see if i have a problem. couldnt find one but needed new tyres.
drove to went to get some new tires and get the problem that sounded like a flat tyre fixed and found a nice 10mm or so bolt in my tire washer and all.

appears screws and nails arnt the only bad ones now and it doesnt sound like driving on a screw, had many of those and this sounded like driving on flat rubber thats bending :think:

My fingers are fat but i used them for size comparison :laughing-rolling:

"major earth moving development area this morning in carina."
Is that the $ 5 million dump remediation by BMD at MINIPPI PARKLANDS payed for by the Brisbane city council so BMD can build a golf course on land that regularly floods and BMD gets to develop and sell all the good land for residential use.

haha, the fursdon road tip redemption by bmd, you got it in one. i live round the corner. could throw a rock at them :)) and pass them 6 times a day. the roads a mess here and it went in my tire where their trucks enter frequently. i dare say it was one that had fallen off of a truck carring dirt in or out.

Gold course you say. hmm major pond course in the wet season. i remember that whole area flooded not too long ago.

I dont know why they are developing an area that floods so much. where the bolt went in the tyre, or the location where their trucks go in and out was under at least .5m of water last wet season on a big down pour, maybe more. i know i tried to go that way and was like hell with that who would live here.

shifty buggers

I have a mate who has to clear out his deceased brother in law's house. Open invite to everyone to come and take what they want today.

I got there late but grabbed a few things.

First was a lion Nathan keg. No idea how long it has been sitting in his back shed and its legal status. Print on the keg says tooheys new made in 2000.

Also got a spare hydrometer. No one else there knew what it was so left it behind. He was unaware of his bro in law ever making home brew in the last 20 years so no idea how old it is.

Also got a few other garden tools, drill bits, hack saw blades and pliers.

Best score though was a set of Footrot Flats comics - hope my kids enjoy them like I did when I was their age.

Now I'm off to try to get the spear out of the keg.

No good crow, is it some thing a few good drinks can fix or are you in hospital? But more importantly, why o lord did you take a statesman :crying-blue:

[crow]

Yeah a few good drinks and maybe a few more lucky I know a cheap source :handgestures-thumbupleft: , yep one less class act lemon on the road but she had pedigree. Got a bombed out pajero I've owned for 15 years and the missuses f f for...fucket need to get another Holden. Ford life isn't no life for a crow, this thread would suffer greatly for a start, tales of broke down fords, ain't nobody got time for that shit :laughing-rolling:

How's my luck? Bloody shambles of cause , couple of female coppers just moved in next door :angry-banghead: Next doors family were distillers so there was no need for and significant fence between the still house and them, all that has changed.

[Doubleuj]
