    I don't think WINZ will let you in the door carrying all that. They now have a coat check system for the guns I think.
    I thought elections were decided by angry posts on social media. - F5 Dave

    ...I hadn't got enough of the stuff for us, first time in thirty years I've not been a year ahead...then my cocky neighbour dragged two fucking big gum trees over from a paddock away, a few weeks back and put them up against the fenceline...half of it had been down for a fair while and next years is in there too...dunno if it's anything to be cheerful about though, I have to cut it yet...

    I reckon if you spent the time sweating your ring out cutting, splitting and stacking firewood in summer through the winter evenings instead you wouldn't need to fucking burn it.

    Not a lot though - I've lived on Banks Peninsula and there weren't a lot of winter evenings where outside work was possible.
    Plus if you don't have the wetback going, it's a f'n big power bill.

    And can be picked up off your local railway line...But you don't live under the ECAN thumb with neighbours lined up to dob you in for a smoky chimney.

    Actually, I burn coal occasionally in the workshop potbelly - always feel I should be making something from cast iron when I burn it.

    All the trains have lids now. Not that there is many going past my way anymore
    Most of our coal was for steel making coke though.
    The dude that was head of Ecan for years was our old MP #we got rid of him.
    I have to sort out the bolier this weekend. It can get real cold here you know, 3 frosts in 3 years.

    What, other than the work in question makes it a WOOD workbench, as opposed to some other sort?
