[quote author=King_DaVo link=topic=208.msg1877#msg1877 date=1384661812]WAT THE FOOORK is with this weather,  stuffed up my weekend plans

Bloody rain screwed up me internet connection as well. Fark, I was almost going to use McDonalds free wifi today but ny ISP came back.

Pity that Maccas free WiFi is usually really slow as people hog the thing, at least anytime I've tried to check my e-mail on it its been that way.

Pensioners get $300 a week? Sign me up. I'm old and making less than that  

Yes it sounds better than it is, truth is when you have to pay electricity, rego, insurance, rates, water and maintenance let alone food, it doesn't go far at all, hence why my pensioners live in the cold and dark, ask my mum for example, she is retired used to be a nurse and worked all her life from the age of 14 paid taxes for countless years and now lives in poverty due to no cause of her own.
She was forced a few years ago to stop work as when she was working, alone, in intensive care, a big fat lady asked her to move her in her bed so she was more comfortable, so mum did it on her own, she worked night shift, and blew her back out permanently as a result. And her reward for decades of service to others? Pain and poverty, and her superannuation was stolen but that's another story.


Doesn't matter anyway, why should a pensioner have to beg and consider knee capper lenders because they need for example, a mobility scooter? Its not right.

Playing devils advocate - how is a broke (they just moved the debt ceiling to $500B) government supposed to pay top dollar?

Personally I don't give a fuck, ask the greedy power company CEO's or the Bank CEO's who get multimillions a year for ripping people off. The government fully supports this as well, ever since privatisiation came in.

I guess they could start by stopping millions being "gifted" to Indonesia each year.

Farking scum bags - we're in debt to commie China, yet we're the ones that give away money to Indonesia, Papua etc.. that the Aussie tax payers has to pay back at interest to the commies...the same commies buying up Australian land and assets.

Mostly the money going to the likes of Indonesia is because there are 200 plus million of them, mostly Muslim, and they hate us and consider Australia part of Asia. Same for China, but more and worse. Papua NG is different, they are our buddies and need our help, and deserve it as well.

Anyways...DaVo's right about fuel use on an auto, but the fuel bill from a 1.6lt 4 cyl to a 1lt 3 cyl wouldnt be a worry. 3 cyl redo is cheaper to.

6.6 ltr per 100km for an auto..

Yes those little cars do well on petrol alright, even the autos.

Fark, I was going to go to Byron on Saturday. Lucky I didn't, otherwise the bubble would've been covered in hail damage.

at least the grass will be longer soon.

I hope you have a new supply of mowers and parts since the Tip Shop is gone.
