Thats trespassing.

yeah these to jokers are well known for their sense of fairness and honesty , about every fine in the last 10 yrs I've had or had to fight is from one or the other or both of these snoozers and and the fact I haven't lived here for close to 5 yrs says something



little bitter and twisted over it

On Friday I serviced my ute... Just oil etc. the old girl is 356000km old.

On Saturday, I hit a roo on the way to work. All good, pushed the roobar back a touch and smashed the grill up. Easy fix.

On Sunday, the valve on the brand new front left wheel sheared off as I was cruising home from work. By the time I realised what had happened and pulled over, the tyre is fucked. All good, buy another $180 tyre and slap it on.

This morning, again on the way to work;

I hit a fucking cow.

Concreting today, concrete truck bogged in the drift 50 or so meters from the building site, couldn't be moved til it was emptied. You guessed i had to barrow 6 mtrs of concrete though 50 meters of drift sand (least only half was up hill) and as it was 37 degrees I pretty much had to barrow it running having the concreters bitching one end and the driver at the other ~x( . One seriously fucked budgie now

I used to love my job as earthworks supervisor when trucks got stuck, they got pulled out with a digger once, then told to fuck off and send trucks that dont get bogged fucking up our tracks :laughing-rolling:

yeah had one thought he could get in, I said I wouldnt bother I will barrow it was only .6m but no dick head goes I will get in there. He got in there but as the load was lighter he had to go down the grass slop with like 2 foot before he hit the retaining wall before he could reverse out. And yeah you guessed it there is a tree root he rolled over so he couldnt get the thing out :angry-banghead:

just left him as I had to finish the path before it went off some how he got it out but left me to fill up the trenches he made :angry-banghead: would of been quicker to barrow it down the hill then stuff around with all that :roll:

I tripped going up a single step today, stumbled three paces forward quickly until my head hit the wall..... all good, no damage to the wall :handgestures-thumbupleft:

But! somewhere along the way my fone fell out of my pocket and smashed the fucking screen :crying-blue:

Just glad they dont have CCTV where it happened or I'd be a prize winner :laughing-rolling:

:laughing-rolling: Sorry but that paints a great mental picture.

I once left a crowded chemist that had stairs out the front. It was raining, shoes were slippery.

I slipped so bad my body was 3' off the ground horizontal.
Was like a cartoon when they slip on a banana peel.
People everywhere, fuck I was embarrassed :oops: .
