My mum was just recently trying to get rid of stuff recently and the **** around she got including questions which are included in the ad was crazy. Even giving shit away for free is a pain it seems

Well no but very clear in the ad with measurements and they have to pick it up.

Apparently it is difficult for people to understand that you either need a ute, trailer, van and it's none of her concern how they organise that

Im just having fun with that one.
Its dumb****ery or shitfoolery to expect a pristine item delevered on a silver platter if its 2nd hand and cheap or free.

Reminds me of this chick i knew years ago. She paid $500 for a 1984 camry with 8 months rego. Rust, no issue, it had heaps. What she went at the seller for after purchase was the Ac didnt work. The 500 was for the rego in my opinion.

Good old Gumtree, hence why I still have 3 heavy 5th wheel turntables sitting waiting for the scrap man to pick up.
Advertise for free and the first thing they ask is can you deliver ? Yeah right.

Poor little Pug daily exploded its driveline this evening. I think the diff blew, briefly locking the motor and causing the cam belt to skip. Gear oil/G70 all on the road and a tilt tray home. I apologise to motorcyclists for the slippery trail.

Looks like the engine survived, only half the carnage (gearbox) to deal with now. Slightly less to hate. :-)

my daughter was advertising a 10 year old electric upright oven give away.

GIVE AWAY was mentioned 6 times in the add, too many numbats asking how much. First person to views say " I'll take it how much you want for it?" Hubby (I love my SIN) says "$100"

cash is duly handed over, oven dissapears and everybody is happy

So you mean to say not every person is intelligent?

Flew from Perth to Broome for my daughters wedding. Got off the plane, waited for our luggage that never came. The only 2 people on the plane, me and the Mrs whos luggage didnt make it. All our wedding gear.
No one at the counter to help.
Eventuakly found a youn guy, baggage handler, he made some calls and said " I think I got it on the next flight arriving at 6pm. I knock off at 7 and will bring it to your hotel".
Sure enough he did, what a legend, slung him $20 to have a drink on me.
Bloody Qantas useless as F.

Last month we were at Cable Beach House bar and cafe. Nail ale could be my favorite Aussie beer at the moment, not sure what the creation the wife had but she liked it. Cool place to spend the arvo at watching the dragon flys do there thing.

What a life saver he was, surely a slab or bottle of spirits would have been more fitting for his effort, he saved your special day.
kudos to the young fella.

Ouch. Have you tried a heat pack? Helps a bit.

[Citroënbender]

Hadn’t tried heat or cold - just “distraction therapy” - driving in Sydney traffic.

Foxtel (the most overpriced media subscription in the world) sending me an email to inform that I can now stream the Barbie movie!

Dive into a world of endless possibilities with award-winning Barbie this Saturday on Movies Premiere (401) or watch now On Demand*. Starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, get ready for a hilarious and heartwarming adventure that reminds you to follow your dreams.

*Requires internet connected iQ3/iQ4/iQ5 or compatible Foxtel Go device. Shows only available if they’re in your pack, some shows/channels not available.

In other words, we want you as a paid subscriber to pay even more to watch an utterly pointless movie.

Yeah, thanks but no thanks.

[Citroënbender]

Me either. I’d rather cringe through Yentl, and that’s saying something.

…Informally administered RUDAS test, completely failed the shopping list. And naming the animals - started well: “Lion” Followed by “Algebra”.

I’m not sure what continent they’re found on, or if Noah took two on the Ark, but by then laughter pretty much nixed the rest.

Cleaning out gutters especially when it is hard to get tools in there and I don't have a good ladder.

I reckon I cleared out between 3-5kgs of crap There is more but mostly dirt.

Use an air blower. Leaves a mess on the ground to clean up but at least it's on the ground.

I paid a company about a year ago $300 bucks and they cleaned a lot of shit out but there was a lot of more solid stuff, pointing, mortar, bits of tiles etc. 20 years of it

Since I just spent a lot of money getting roof work done I was trying to find anything around the house to scoop it out but just very little room to work with.

I plan on getting a ladder and blower rather than pay for that again and can only get to pergola area from the roof.

People zooming unnecessarily down my street, four lorikeets squashed in an hour as they fed on fallen seeds from the liquidambar trees. The saddest part was watching one very much alive lorikeet persistently trying to “wake up” his dead mate.

Hard to 'thank' or 'like' a post like that, cb!

Those toilet paper dispensers that use a large roll of continuous paper.

I get why businesses use them, but as a consumer, they're terrible! They're never wide enough and they never tear where you want them to or tear evenly! You end up with a thin piece of paper that is torn length ways that is only just capable of doing the job.

As annoying as some find in the dawn and dusk, i like the swarks of rainbows and rosellas. At my old house my neighbour had a big tree in her yard and that wasnt their nesting place, but it was their hang out spot. At some times of the year you could see weird inverted branch bird sex going on, but hey, thats one step away from extinction i guess. Didnt mind the cockatoos either, although they did make a mess of my driveway with all the mandarins theyd pinch from the house in fronts tree, take 1 bite then grab another...

The feeder street that my mum lives off has a bunch of banksias planted along the nature strip. Lorikeet heaven at the right time of the year. My mum drives a Nissan xtrail with roof racks permanently installed. Sadly, caught one of the little fellas on them one year
