This isn't a multinational corporation Mellie. It is managed by one person (Freediver), possibly, in his basement.

Quite possibly true too. Grant and Koshie are wrestling with emergency services to get there first.

Get over yourself mellie -  Do you live in the area ?  Are you affected by the damage caused ?  It's not about you you know, so if you feel "mocked", suck it up. 

Now I have just heard on the ABC news that looters have been active in Townsville -  scum.   

Er.. yeah, I'll make sure to leave when they ask me to or not overstay my visa.

Well WHY are you watching them ?

No, however, a close friend of mines immediate relatives do, fortunately, they were interstate, but like us, they too were worried sick about their animals and friends.

Look, swallow your pride and accept it for what it was...a big beat-up... I'm over it, have had my vent, perhaps you should too.

I'm not even going to tell my friend what our RAAF friend said this morning, because I think he would probably be very hurt and insulted.

His parents have dogs, and he was worries sick about them, the individual who was house sitting for them had evacuated, and the dogs were there on their own. He was up all night, hence I was also...reassuring him in between ....anyway, you get the drift.

He was more worried about his mother, worrying about her bloody dogs, his mother is caring for a terminally ill relative and  it was the last thing she/they needed to think about during already rotten times.

Unless you plan on playing along with their soap opera drama, until you finally twig, then hey, don't get pissy with us because we have already sucked back our drool.

I mean really, they took it too far....complete with "SUNRISE" special coverage...  the kind of coverage you get when there's genuinely been a natural disaster of 'Tracy' magnitude.

I became a bit suspicious that cyclone Yasi was a media “beat-up” story yesterday, when all they could talk about nothing else and keep repeating the same old coverage and pictures and asking people stupid questions.

I feel sorry for the farmers and people who have had damage done to their property, and glad no one was killed,  but I get this dreadful feeling this was all a sham created by the pollies who played the media for all it was worth, and I reckon certain people knew it wasn’t going to be as bad as they made out.

I think the worse thing about all this is because the media and Government has portrayed themselves to be “chicken little” no one will believe them in future.

I agree with you Mellie, I think the people of Queensland now realise they have egg on their faces thanks to a Government who’s ulterior motive was to keep the tax levy ball rolling at any cost.

I also think those idiots in the metrological department should all be sacked.

My brother in law has a banana tree on his hi-lux now.

Nice.
