Me too cods,.. there was some grating and gnashing of teeth by Aussie ,a bit distracting. Wish I could remember.

Felt pretty let down by Aussie I must say.. but just want to move past that now but I have learned a pretty good lesson.. the hard way.

I dont easily give up on people, but for one person that has changed forever.  :-[

Lovely day here and getting my "garden" going ..making a start to day..

I won't post at Reds now..Aussies presence weighs heavily in there..knowing he is watching for every bit of info and not trusting him with it..that is my biggest concern.

Aussie is banned from the Tavern starting 12/3/17..indefinitely..cc that to mods and FD..

well at least people are reading the thread not game to say who they are or what they think..

I know on the surface.. it looks immature and childish,

but thats what bullies plan on.. they dont think what they do bothers people.. it bother them so why would it others..

I dont like to see people do that to anyone...and not a soul around to put a stop to it...just APPALLING..

that got to me as much as anything...set told us you PMd him...

anyway you are back now and can post anywhere...lets exchange blows in one of leftwhingers thread.. he has almost taken over the boards   with WAs labor win.....groooooooooooooooooan... are we in for it..

A storm in a teacup for couple of days cods.. I don't want to be labor or lib anymore.. have lost faith in all of them.. they are all greedy self serving criminals.. and we play the game by dignifying their existence with a vote..   8-)

Bloodsucking leeches. We need law and order..but we really need a fairer system..

trouble with that agnes.. we each would have a different idea what a FAIR system would be..

thats what keeps us voting I guess..

I have lost faith in the Libs thats for sure.. cant be bothered even looking into pol suxs anymore..leave it for the manic few who only seem to repeat what they said 3 years ago so nothing changes does it??>.

lw thinks a change of govt... well whatever they are PARTY maybe will change his world..lolol.. good luck with that...

anyway I do believe Aunty Dorothy may make a come back...she is starting to get itchy well not there dear.. I mean in the written word  dept of course..

writing being her forte so to speak!

  she has just finished a speaking tour  in Rockhampton...where her fame preceded her and she had an overwhelming welcome...yes red carpet the works....she was thrilled...her book signing was the best she has ever had....13 in the first 5 hours...a record.... she was a little dehydrated at the end.. and that was the real reason she was a little worse for wear when the news men arrived with those bloody cameras...as  she tripped over that homeless man asleep in the doorway, she told me she only had one Pimms ...

anyway she could be back bless her..she is so full of advice..

I haven't been in Polsux either for a while..too much repetition for me , a bit boring I must say, same old same old..

Dorothy making a comeback..bloody marvellous and you know we would all love to see that dear. The red carpet sounded so exciting and that homeless man sleeping in the wrong place and almost causing a wardrobe malfunction..and only one Pimms you say  ;). Next time Pimms with lemonade for Dorothy...to water it down a bit would be a good idea. It gets humid in Rockhampton hope she drank plenty of water to keep her spirits up lol

just letting you know...if you feel the need to bring someone down.. may I suggest you do it elsewhere.

A lot of people let you down on these forums AG. I would hate to be part of the younger generation who live or die by social media.

They must have a tough time. People are a lot more cruel, or maybe thoughtless now because so many of them are keyboard warriors. They don't have to confront their adversaries face to face the way their parents had to.

well we can show em girls....and boys....lets make a pact to agree to disagree..

you have your opinion I have mine...

and so are the Days of our Lives..

mu new column will start any day now..it is a public holiday in ACT.. and as you know we do not work on P.H...the dear old union will be after me..

so keep you eyes peeled for the grand opening...

I havent decided who to ask to cut the ribbon...

I might do it myself as its hard to find anyone better...


as you are all well aware! well all my followers anyway   
I am well adversed to solving all kinds of problems  big ones and little ones..and even those pesky  niggly ones...

Nothing is too big or too small...

just an aside!!!! I will do a book signing at the opening...

plus I have a nice line in t/runs.ooops shirts

thank you.

Me too mantra and my own kids have experienced online bullying...it can be soul crushing for young ones ,but they survived it.  I take with a grain pf salt most of what is thrown my way these days..but that doesn't mean I forget.. it can only happen so many times to me as it has in his case..no luckily our growing up was quite different..and made for much ( I think) grounded people growing into grounded adults...there was actual consequences for mouthing off at someone..you could not just log off. and then back into the fray next time you logged on..computers have turned a lot of cowards into key board warriors.. and he who shall not be named is the biggest coward of them all I'ma thinking ;)

I decided to treat people in cyber space no differently than I do in life and very rarely have I forgotten that rule..anyway moving forward and onto today ...welcome aboard mantra, this is a place where we are free to be ourselves..

Oh cods ( or is it Dorothy now) that sounds like such a great line up you have planned there..I will be first in line to have my book signed, if I can afford one that is. Do we need any nibblies for the signing...tea and bikkies,cakes, nuts and bolts etc..I am a crack hand at both.. I have an antique rosewood (non veneer)serving trolley in my spare room..I think it will be perfect for the occasion.

  I am sure they will go like hot cakes luv.. ;) if they aren't too pricey.. merchandise can be very exy. these day's.

agnes   no the line isnt available as yet.. will let you know the cost when I get the Bill I ordered them in rainbow colours so we wouldnt upset anyone.. and single anyone out..

I think we may have to pass up on the goodies at the opening.. in Rockhampton we had a nice  glass of house wine  and salt and vinegar chips.. well you should have seen the mess I was left with..

so I think it will be a dry do this time round....
Subway is next door..for those who cant wait..

agnes this will be an advice panel...so you will be expected to chip with your expertise on any subject that is thrown our way...remember it is our wish to cure not impede our customers....think of it as a foot massage of the braincells..

Ah well girls I guess you will miss out on the G&Ts with  Lamingtons at Reds Place!

you may or may not be extended visiting rights....we will of course have a board meeting to establish who will not be allowed..  you are walking on very shaky ground...agnes is the owner of the establishment  and has all banishing rights..

See you back after your next ban!

;D

it has been a long time since I left PA..of my own accord..but for years we have had the zombies from PA in here day in day out bragging how we were kicked out for being trolls and we always denied strenously that that was the case..but now we have old naffy come in here and announce it was because were mates with Aussie as the real cause for locking our accounts..after we had already bolted, well in my case anyway bit late to be banned when you had already left lol..

I am putting this here because I refuse to post in relationships..but I didnt want this post to be lost in the shite pile..

Makes sense to some I guess... "you were banned because you were mates with Aussie..." Guess that goes for not just me

---

...this is proof.

let not it worry us agnes..

the point it you know what really happened...sadly the only reason for banning you all is to stop you daring to check what they are saying bout you.....dont know why you have probably heard it all before... lololol..

never mind  when it all gets boring we can all whip up a PA/ozpol fight and bingo... more topics on line fd must be smiling all the way to the bank..

Well this horse had already bolted before they shut the gate. It went from bad to worse over there. I couldn't stand the abuse and the obscenities a moment longer. There are plenty of people who know the truth and know that it was my decision to leave - not theirs. I was going to leave a month or so prior to that, but was talked out of it.  The permanent ban a month after I finally walked away was done out of spite to help them make believe they were a superior species. They lost sight of what PA was all about.

There is an element of truth in what Neferti says though about people being permanently banned because of their association with Aussie. You have to hate him with a vengeance before they accept you as one of their own. I couldn't do that.

The bullying and unfairness was intolerable. I've got no idea whether SN still posts there or not, but he was another one of their victims. Their total lack of respect for his decisions, regardless of him being an elected leader, showed how totalitarian the place had become.

It kind of like "even if we hate you you don't leave us, we ban you " and that is the harshest possible thing they can do to you.. I am sure if a public flogging was a thing they would use that option first...dictatorship is what it comes down to from my perspective.. there seems to be a lot off hatred which I see as a form of sickness over there.. you cant leave mantra and if you do they then say the banned you..in an attempt to cover the shame and "save face"..just be glad you are out..in years to come you will see the "admin" and naffy pipe up and say how you tried to join under a million nicks because for some reason it makes it look like you are sorry for your betrayal of the mob and want back in to lick their boots forever more..  you are out now and you did the right thing..

I have that problem at times too AG. There's a simple quick fix. Get a straw and cover half one end with sticky tape so there's only a narrow opening. Disconnect the computer, turn it upside down and blow through all the little vents.

Just make sure your mouth is dry. Keep a bit of bread in your mouth. A lot of the dust just blows out. If you do it regularly - it keeps the computer going.

I also close all the open programs if it gets too warm, shut the lid and give it half an hour or so to cool off. A fan close to the computer helps too.

Didn't know Canberra was that dusty...tbh for some reason I always thought Canberra had to be the perfect place to live..maybe because Politicians gather there.so to hear of raging fires and dust really shatters my preconceptions I can tell you cods

Mantra the straw idea /will try that next time..to be sure.

welcome back treat it with care now...

yes its been awful for years.. we have one particular piece of highway near where I live and they are diggin it again for about the 5th time in just a few years its non stop...... why it wasnt all done at the one time we will never know its the same road...but different parts...of it... I always think of Canberra as another Los Angeles.. surrounded by mountains thats why its under this cloud all the time.. smoke petrol fumes...Canberra is the same... nowhere for the smog to go.. when fires were allowed you could see this brown haze just sitting right under the mountains...it had no escape... and so we eat and sleep in it...as you know rainfall  is not great here either....my car which sits in a carport is covered in poo all the time..... the place  looks posh but you need to live in it..lolol...

If its a desktop Agnes take the sides off and blast it with one of those cans of compressed air. Dont touch anything inside while blasting as the components are very sensitive to static off your fingers etc.

If its a Lappy just blast air in all the holes etc

Thanks Red....I am going to do a monthly air blast through my laptop from now on.. and has to make a difference I think

Didn't know Canberra was that dusty...tbh for some reason I always thought Canberra had to be the perfect place to live..maybe because Politicians gather there.so to hear of raging fires and dust really shatters my preconceptions I can tell you cods My laptop is home.. welcome back treat it with care now... yes its been awful for years.. we have one particular piece of highway near where I live and they are diggin it again for about the 5th time in just a few years its non stop...... why it wasnt all done at the one time we will never know its the same road...but different parts...of it... I always think of Canberra as another Los Angeles.. surrounded by mountains thats why its under this cloud all the time.. smoke petrol fumes...Canberra is the same... nowhere for the smog to go.. when fires were allowed you could see this brown haze just sitting right under the mountains...it had no escape... and so we eat and sleep in it...as you know rainfall  is not great here either....my car which sits in a carport is covered in poo all the time..... the place  looks posh but you need to live in it..lolol...

   It gets very hot out here ..well with that comes burst water pipes that swell when its hot and burst and the roads all around this area are dug up with sometimes huge trenches taking up half the road.. and it happens every year, isnt there a good quality water pipe they can fit that can cope with the heat?Do it once do it right. Just sick of it..that problem with polluted air in Canberra..well there is something else I wouldnt have thought of...?

That's been happening in my area for years too AG. Finally they've just replaced the water pipes in my street. After putting up with smelly, dirty water that you couldn't drink the first lot of clean water came through the other day. They've put in massive concrete pipes so perhaps they won't burst anymore.

Still there is no curb or guttering and every time a car goes past it throws up a cloud of dust.

I'll be picking up one of those air cans too. I've tried the vacuum cleaner at times, but it's not very effective.

I am also surprised Canberra is so dusty.

its always had this image... because when it was all govt managed.. guess what... the streets were cleaned ALL THE TIME....a whopping bit truck came round and swept the gutters and took it all away to some place posh people didnt want to know about.. it was called the TIP...shhh....water sprinkled all the green grassy bits..... no restrictions...pollies like looking at green...

do you know even trucks were not allowed on our roads.....omg... they had to go through Queanbeyan...lol.... and then one day the rules changed   and we got our own little fiefdom ..no more washing and sweeping...no more sprinkling..and lots and lots of trucks......with lots and lots of poo on their back....and its gone down hill ever since...

but they are trying.. they have stopped shopping trolleys ending up all over the place..  ::) ::)we now have to put our dollar in  the slot to hire the trolley....

the other day filthy hot... went to the trolley bay and not one trolley in the thing from woollies.....not happy JAN....had to cross to the next lane to find one....pushing a trolley through rows of cars.. is not funny.....

but its good to see our rates working..

  Now that is just plain wrong and most likely happens in all cities now..you have to pay to hire a trolley..what next?  :o

Pay for bags but they say they it is for the environment , but now they sell them...revenue raising..not for the environment at all. I do take my own carry bag now, but I have forgotten it a few times ..they can make completely bio degradable plastic now..so whey don't they use them..wouldn't mind paying for bio bags actually..

you mis understand you get it back but you have to find a compatible trolley so you can plug into it which returns your coin....thats what the little chain is for...

but it is also a very small slot only takes $1 coins...so when your clumsy and have stubby fingers you are in trouble right away...

yes I also resent having to hite the trolley one of the reasons I steer clear of ALDI.. you have to return the
trolley to the bays.. which is all well and good for the fit and able...

anyway thats my whinge for the day..lol

  Well we don't have to worry about such things in our small town..as long as you don't walk them home and some do n'all..  I like going to the big smoke about 3 times a year..for a concert or to visit family as well.  They all want me to move there but it isn't so easy as just up and going..there is planning and stuff...but thinking eventually I will just go and stop messing around.. I have some family here and I dont want to leave them behind either.. but cant have all my own way.. ::)

If you get your $1 back I guess that is ok cods.. some coles and woolies car parks have young boys employed to gather up all the trollies..why arent they everywhere I say..give a job to some young ones and help a few people like your self out..

I knew of this funny character in a woolies carpark who used to collect trollies.. he gave a lot of people laughs because  he thought he was a bumble bee  ( spittle flying everywhere ) and used to buzzzzzzzz as he ran and collected them and returned them to the bay..I dont think he does that anymore he was about 40ish..and very energetic.. he was pretty eccentric.. but sweet in his own way,,his name was Eric. lol

Cods - ask at the counter of the supermarkets for a little key ring with a disc in it for the trolleys. They give them to regular customers, but charge some people. Keep it with your car keys.

There's always a bit of a walk from the car to the supermarket unless I'm lucky. Usually it's easier carrying 6 bags of heavy groceries than pushing a wonky trolley over rough ground for a 100 metres or so. Where I mainly park - there's no trolley rack.

I always have a lot of groceries, although most of them are for other people and animals. Sometimes when I'm carrying all these heavy bags a bit of a distance I wonder why I'm still doing this. I buy too much though. If something is on special - I might buy a couple of weeks worth of the product, but then forget about it. By the time I need it - it's out of date. I probably throw out half of what I buy.

yes I know about them thanks mantra.. but my point is... you still have to get the tag back...and thats not always easy for oldies who look for disabled parking places...lololol...when its raining its even worse.. or 40 deg...I know I am whinging about trivia...but on the first day of the change....and I couldnt find a woollies trolley to get my money back.. I was pretty cranky it was about 36 and grocery shopping doesnt exactly put me in a good mood to start with...lolol

god help the trolley boys..

I know it is hard for some people Cods.

Shopping can be a real chore at times. Supermarkets basically cater to the demography of the area. If you are outside of that, then you have to adapt and it can be a nuisance.

I haven't seen a trolley boy in my area for years. The customers do that job now.
