We will fight you on Cheltenham Beach....then Narrowneck, then Devonport........fuck it....easier to just invite you in for a beer........free tickets to Victoria Cinema be enough?

ive been to the restaurant there geez it's crap been there like 5 times (parents and relatives go there for birthdays and crap) always the same stuff and hardly any of it i come home hungrier than when i left

life without tv....maybe then i would actually get some stuff done on my bike which ive been putting off for ages........ like finishing wiring my bike which i never finished since new....

the odd wire hanging off here and there

stupid tv always distracts me...stuff i don't even want to watch seems to draw me in i know i have to work on my bike but the nights just waste away watching bullshit which i cant pull myself away from

But at least they know how to charge! I complained and they gave me $5 back for some McD's! Talk about a rip!

F*ck Chris I woulda killed to have that land for home (I'd just about kill have it now...)
Easy solution though, cut the male plugs off the end of all the electrical equipment and pelace them with female sockets. Then just make up a few male-male plugs and keep them with you. The only time things get plugged in is when you're home. They'll moan for a couple of days until they've made some of their own fun.

An interesting idea but please don't anyone try this!

Think about it for a minute, you have the potential for live exposed prongs with only the male-male connector plugged in. You will electrocute your kids and/or yourself.

If you really wanted to try something I would suggest you fit overseas plugs on you appliances, then carry adapters. And also ensure you use 3 pronged for earthed appliances. And the number one rule: If in doubt, don't touch it. Get someone who knows what they doing, I've seen the results when incompetence and electricity mix and it ain't pretty.

Story of my life really bright ideas - poor application....

Enjoyed growing up in the country so much, I made a point of moving to a farm in Mid Canterbury for 5 yrs, in the 80's, so my 2 boys could get a taste of i. So they got to catch eels, climb the highest trees, feck of for a day and just explore or fossick, teach then how to use guns and chainsaws and stuff....(well, really, it was for me as well).
Im pretty certain I can just recall seeing the windmill - once - but I must have been bloody young...Solent flying boats coming into the harbour, long queues for the weekend vehicular ferries, being dragged onto a tram that didnt seem to want to stop, in Queen St...going to the family bach at Milford!, for the summer holidays..being burned so bad that the skin would peel of your back in sheets - but that was ok, a bit of vinegar fixed that! Taking my brother for a ride on the tractor, with him standing on the hydraulic linkage crossbar and me towing chain harrows! Shit - lucky he could cling on tight!
