Hello folks Friday has arrived and some here look like they need some cheering up. So for Starters check out this disco sensation.
Some cute puppy photos
And for the cat lovers
Sports lovers have a big weekend ahead with the AFL Grand-Final and NRL Semi-Finals 
.And also there is the delight of watching our new Leaders make fools of themselves with our neighbours
So Life is still pretty good. We are all still lucky enough to live in a fantastic country and while atm Political things are not to flash we could be a lot worse off.
Raffles are on again so get your tickets from CK Watt and have a great night and a terrific weekend.
And Remember
THE PUB 
BB & Gigilene,
Seems to me there are distinct advantages of living in the sticks where the nearest neighbour is a couple of paddocks away!
Janice,
I think it would take more than a couple of paddocks for someone like Bushfire Bill’s neighbour not to be a complete and utter pest.
BB
One day your neighbour will pee off the wrong person. If he votes at all, I guess he would vote for that Daniel Boone party.
Fiona,
Possibly, but someone like BB’s neighbour would never hack it out here so we’re pretty safe. Most of these idiot, violent bogans tend to reside in cities or large towns where they can practice their bullying.
The EPL points table has an old fashioned look about it at the moment, Arsenal, Spurs and Liverpool at the top. Gunners!
A warning for us.

Stop picking on ManU,
My dog’s name is Trafford.
And now his is Old.

What do you think your neighbour would do if you printed out your blog comment and shoved it in his letterbox?
Puffy,
You have email.
I have to wonder with all these claims floating around that “Labor’s leadership election means that Abbott gets a free pass”, wouldn’t the media just ignore everything the new Labor leader said if they were picked by caucus a few weeks ago anyway? They’re on his side after all, so the only difference would be them sneering “Aww, look at the little LOTO, he thinks he’s gonna be Prime Minister on our watch~”
I don’t remember Nelson getting any more attention back in December 2007 than Bowen is now.
[My dog’s name is Trafford.]
Poor bugger.
Kirsdarke,
Is there any chance you will be in Melbourne on Tuesday afternoon?
@Fiona
Yeah, I could take the train down on Tuesday.
Saw the Abbott Channel 10 thing and didn’t notice the f- word bit. But having observed the look on Peta’s face, I reckon that reporter should be glad she didn’t get hold of that stockwhip mentioned earlier!
Kirsdarke,
It would be great if you could come!
Little Black Duck,
I was delighted to see you are among the select band of Sunderland supporters. It’s grand to share this tragic status. As for kaffeeklatscher, it won’t be possible to speak civilly to him given that he is in the company of the heathens of Newcastle.

But look how couth thems Geordies are as they learn to speak French 🙂
BB
What would neighbour do if I parked a big Western Star prime mover in front of his driveway.
Politely ask me, to move or come out ranting?
Maybe I’m lucky, most of our neighbours seem to be happy to go about their business and leave us alone. We’re fairly quiet and boring (although the comments one might hear from me when the Raiders are losing might offend), so they probably don’t particularly notice us.

Parking ! You’d be more…..
kaffeeklatscher
No I wouldn’t waste $4,000 on eight tyres do do stupid things like that.
Without mentioning the $85,000 on the new motor.

Many moons ago I worked for P&O Cold Stores. When it came to truckies there were two things that have stuck with me. 1) How many hours a week they do and 2) Their ability to turn up right on knock off time………… and so cancel knock off time 🙂
Ahh .P&O cold stores.
They still owe me about $18,000 I think

I missed out number 3) which was actually number one. The ability to reverse a leader and dog between two other trucks on to our dock flaps allowing literally only a 2-3 inches gap.
Little Sir Scoot is so brave!:

BB. I wouldn’t advise it with your neighbour as he sounds like he’s on a one way ticket to perdition anyway….but there is a dirty trick that I’ve considered , but not applied..; Get a small bio-degradeable plastic bag, pour in a small, but reasonable quantity of battery acid, tie the top and chuck the bag w/contents onto the roof so it slips into the gutter…..in a week or so, bag degrades so the contents leak out and does its’ job on the gutter…bag then blows away and gutter starts to leak first rains which wash away all evidence of acid!….expensive irritation complete…repeat as required….don’t get caught throwing the bag!
Or JC, old plumbers trick on bad customers , a half brick down the boundary trap!
Puff, back at EPL, I nearly named my house ‘Highbury’, considered ‘The last resort’, but went for ‘Providence’
And on the providence theme, Compass tonight was fascinating
Left right out,
About 20 years ago, my parents had the shower bays in their two bathrooms retiled. The one in the main bathroom was done perfectly. The one in the secondary bathroom, not so good. My father complained; the apprentices were instructed to redo the work. Which they did, and nicely. However, they (or one of them) finished off by tipping some cement down the shower drain.
It took a few days before the blockage was discovered, as that bathroom was not in general use. So, my father got in touch with the master plumber, the blockage was fixed and, I understand, the apprentices suddenly found themselves unemployed (or whatever it is that happens to naughty apprentices).
Left right out, as a very lapsed Catholic, I found the insights fascinating.
The Chachapoyas are way more interesting.
Fiona, tilers are renowned for ‘pouring’ grout and cement down floor wastes! Many a testy moment had with these fools
‘The last resort’, final song on the greatest album of all time. ‘She came from Providence, the one in Rhode Island’. And spookily, I spent a day touring the Napa valley wineries in 2011 with a lady who came from , yep, Providence Rhode Island
Left right out,
It has always struck me as a silly move – it’s so obvious whodunnit.
+ , and she was ‘HOT’
In the old days, the brickies who built chimmneys had a good trick…to ensure the customer paid, they would secret a pane of glass across the flue and when the customer paid, would drop a half-brick down the chimmney to break the sealing glass!
Jaycee,
I would love to know if that happened to my house, which has four chimneys and nine flues.
JC, comparing ‘tricks of the trade’, priceless! One from the vaults, septic tanks {thank god for Gough}. To get a new septic ‘working’, the neighbourhood cat went missing
Comments here will close VERY soon – NEW THREAD: THOUGHTS ON THE PSYCHOLOGY OF CLIMATE CHANGE.
Sometimes we chippies would play a trick on the sparkies or the plumber, by cutting a 3″ nail short and drive it into a stud where there was a pipe or wire just below the face and leave the head out a tad so they would notice and think the nail went all the way through the pipe or wires!….Geez it got a reaction from them!
JC, with a left handed hammer?
