Is a belief that none of what flyingcrocodile46 said is true not just a different prejudice?

No point in being clever. He won't be able to understand.

I don't see any builder being done for fraud, for building houses that they knew were going to leak bad builders out there that did dumb shit. But as Caseye said a lot were contracted to do so and to deviate from contract documents would likely result in financial penalty, breach of contract etc - sounds like a perfect pecuniary gain type of fraud - they knew the work was shit, but they did it anyway as to not do it would result in them not getting $$.

There are builders out there who should be done! Incompetence isn't a strong enough word for some of the building shit that's gone down over the last 20 yrs! I've seen building botchups, most people would find hard to believe, despite being willing listeners - as, no doubt would Mr Flyingcrocodile have. A bit like the unbelievable situations some of the constabulary would have come across during their careers.....

What I tell young guys who want to join.

Get a trade

Get some life experience

THEN join.

Reckon you shouldn't be allowed to join until you have had a lot of life experience - at least 10 yrs after leaving school - too many people go straight from school/Uni to jobs that involve a lot of interaction with and power over people and they are fecking worse than useless!

Bring back the harley bashing threads they were much more fun !

You know something ? (well you don't but i is gonna tell ya anyway haha) I'm hitting 50 in a month or so and the body is feeling the years of abuse i have given it ! If i spend a day riding without the right gear on now my joints seize for the next two, if i spend a day with a sledge hammer and pinch bar doing renovations on a run down batch, i suffer for days afterwards, but it won't stop me doing either !

It's my grandsons 2nd birthday today, woohooo a kiddies party, i love 2 yr olds parties, surrounded by happy crappy nappies who havent learnt to hate anything yet, everything is to be tried, touched, opened, closed, tasted etc etc nothing is evil in their world !

I must be one of the lucky older folk around cause life is good, I have never been bashed by a cop, only ever been treated with the same respect i give them or anyone i ever come accross, i hate no-one and firmly believe no-one hates me, i have a choice of bikes to ride, my Mrs likes to both ride or snuggle behind me, i live in an old house with a warm fire, but dont own it. That was my choice several years ago, but situations change and i have now found a piece of land, that will allow me to surround myself in the company of ppl i enjoy having around, sure i'll have to sell some bikes to free up more cash for the deposit but thats the choice i'm making !
I'll still ride and ride with guys and gals who don't hate life, or what life hands them, they laugh about the ticket someone got on yesterdays ride, cry if a rider goes down, but there is still no hatred !

I am so looking forward to moving onto this new place, calf in the paddock, pig in the pen, chooks in the yard, a building for all my friends to gather and talk shit whenever they want, beds gallore for those who want to stay. There will always be some who join us on rides or come for a social night that feel hatred, but they wont be shown any, they will be offered a bed if they have a few too many, a beer if they turn up at the new place unexpectedly (nothings changed there)

Gee i'm ranting !

Just wanted to say i must be gettin old, cause fuck i'm happy !
Oh wait, i've always been happy but aint always been old, is it just me ?

Fuckin well said my man! I have a 3year old grandson who has a ton of innocence about him. Very refreshing. I just hope he learns to read soon so i can show him your post.
I'm the same. Life may not be perfect but it never is. Just be happy with ya lot and smile at the neighbor once in a while (specially if she only wearing her bikini on the back lawn).

funniest thing I've seen is someone doing an runner on a Harley (when dressed like a gang rapist funnily enough but wearing a full-face helmet), falling off at about 20km/h, then after fighting with him for about a minute, his visor mysteriously opened, a can of pepper spray was somehow discharged into said open visor, then the visor was closed.

In the ensueing screaming/crying for mummy/whimpering 5 minutes, a loaded 9mm pistol was recovered from a shoulder holster, which was what the gang rapist was trying to access during the 60 second struggle....

You tell a "funny" story, then try to justify it by what you found AFTER your actions...

.. yep, I'm suitably impressed.

Nice sentiment - way too many miltatnt people with chips on their shoulders.
Can't say I have any problems with cops either. Always been friendly and respectful, and not once tried to solicit a bribe from me. Makes a fantastic change....
