[Edbear]

Fresh water is the new oil. Aren't we selling tanker ship loads of it already?

Absolutely. In fact we now no longer need the Harbour Bridge. As a special consultant to the NSW Govt I'm permitted to send you the tender documents for its relocation.
Forward your bank account details and we'll sort it right out.

They are expecting 200mm in Brizzy over the weekend.

Can't believe it - I've just got back from Coober only two weeks ago and NO sign of oil THEN!!

Well, I guess I need to head eh....

Unfortunately, the economics of shale oil are a bit like being hungry for a Burger King Whopper....located at the top of Mt Cook.

It requires expensive gear, burning a lot of existing stored energy you've already got, and a heap of water...to get one Whopper that effectively costs a heap of money.

The old adage of "It's takes money to make money" is particularly true for shale oil.

It takes a lot of money, energy, and water to make some shale oil.

It depends if you're doing it In situ or Ex situ.

Ive had to cut holes in my gazebo to let out the ponding water.

Of course I had to put up the gazebo due to the 4 week heat wave....

A bunch of the lads from back home arrived yesterday for a 50th tonight, They get off the plane and its "fuck, whats this shit weather?"

Still, A trip down the Colmslie Hotel for a glass of James Squires Fifty Lashes and all was right in the world once again.

The magic elixer at work again.

You want to complain.

I picked up a 2013 V-rod test bike on Thursday at 10.00 and the first solid rain in 6 months arrived at my place at 11.00.

With us till Monday at least they say.

What I did notice from riding it around in the rain is if it's 28c it doesn't matter if you are wet when riding. Draggin's legs feel same wet or dry. No coldness.

.

As much as you have my sympathy (harharhar), I wasn't complaining.

As it stands I went from owning my dream bike outright, driving a $40k wagon, Living in the home I own, wad of cash in the bank and receiving a good wage to losing my bike, being heavily in debt, selling my assets, cramming my family into a tiny apartment and being unemployed.

LMFAO.

And I'm still not complaining.



My wife on the other hand........

Not complain, complain - 4 Yorkshiremen complain.
And they still won't believe you

yeah , I got the reference, I just wanted to use the opportunity to outline how big a hole I have dug for myself.

[SMOKEU]

The question is, would it really be so bad if it did happen?

Yes, because then NZ would be a part of that country which is rapidly turning into a shit hole.

[Big Dave]

that country which is rapidly turning into a shit hole.

Bwahhahah. What a load of bullshit.

[SMOKEU]

Bwahhahah. What a load of bullshit.

No, not bullshit. Take a look at the rapidly expanding Islamic population in Australia, then have a look at what is happening in the Middle East and North Africa. You do the "math".

You should go and get that tunnel vision seen to.
