I just got back from a quote 30mins away, storm over head as well. Get there and theres only one small section that could be done with a rider. Rest is pushy. What a waste of time and money. I normally screen these things pretty well but this one got past me.
Did see a pretty cool light show though!
Courty, interested in a job out at Worongary/Tallai? I told them I'd charge around $120 and he didnt bat an eyelid. 2 small areas need bagging the rest just mulch or what ever. New house, new turf and gardens. It would be regular!
Text me if your keen!

That's Bullsh*t to be calling on a Sunday that early or any day for that matter, I would have been ranting to have that call and see it go to message bank.
I'm getting quite bit of it of late with Saturday evening, ie, 6.00pm and across Sunday. I'm ignoring them now and not even responding on Monday morning. But whilst I'm ignoring them, its still gets me going with a rant.
Cheers Garry
top idea!! his mumbling through his mo should scare 'em off

Why do sporting clubs cry out for coaching volunteers then some, after you've paid the big price and attended the required coaching courses, then spend extra money to do your first aid as well, just ignore you? It's not like that money or time is easy to find. You put yourself out there, pay the money, volunteer your time only to be ignored. have your ideas dismissed then implemented by someone else.
It isn't just Sporting clubs - it's any "committee" based organisation (P&C, Scouts, Churches, Landcare, Service clubs)
There is the established "clique" of members who whinge that everything is left up to them - but will not allow "new blood" to be involved because it threatens their "elite" status in the organisation.
As a "new blood" it is your role to do all the crap that the "clique club" think they are too good for, and to pull the Clique club out of the **** when they stuff up, don't plan properly, or have N.F.I. Be assured - any credit for success belongs to the Clique elite, but stuff up even slightly and the blame will be tattooed on your forehead for all to see.
Do it because you want to - do it your way - and let the clique do their own thing. Worst that can happen is you get suspended.
Then on the other hand you can be extremely successful and pi$$ off a bunch of w@nkers at the same time.
"Can't" is a dirty 4 letter word.
If someone says "Can't" , take the "T" off the end and brew it.
Sip on a mugfull, relax, and take a look at what you've got left to work with.

Telstra.
If brains were petrol they wouldn't have enough to start a fleas motorbike. Had a simple job.Move my existing line form the socket it is live on in our house to another dead socket in another room. Indian chappy says yes sir we can help you with that. How much. $30 ok fine go ahead and do it. He says everything will be transferred across and only small outage as tech does the job. Okee dokee.
Last Thursday phone and internet go dead. Friday arvo tech turns up and looks confused when I start talking to him. When I tell him what I had ordered he shakes his head and says well thats not what you got. The disconnected my line and he built a new line back to the house. Ok says I well just get it back on asap because I need my internet back. Ahhh thats the prob. This new phone line does not carry internet. In fact it is only incoming calls. WTF. Why would we want that. Again he shakes his head. He fixes it so we at least have incoing and outgoing calls but tells me my internet provider IINET now has to request Telstra to reinstall my internet. Will take 5 to 10 working days. Now I am pissed off. Even more so when tech says it was a simple 10 min job and shows me how easy it is.
Ring IINET and explain what has happened. Yep no probs we can fix it but not untill Monday and it will cost you $60. I lose it and eventually get a supervisor. She looks at the issue and also can believe what Telstra have done but because we are long term customers says she will waive fees. Well thats a start. Says leave it with me. She rings back. Can't start the process because Telstra have line classed as non internet. Ring Telstra and loose it again and after trying to get sense out of 3 different ppl get told we have to ring tomorrow.
I am at paintball all day bbut missus rings and gets Indian Nazi operator who says she is lying the telstra tech is lying and we never had internet on our old line. She gives up in disgust. I get home and ring them and eventually get someone who I can at least have a half intelligent conversation with. He agrees to get line to a stage where IINET can at least start the process. I ask him to escalate the reinstall process as I dont want to wait 5 to 10 days for their stuff up. Cant do that because it is Telstra Wholesale for do it and they cant talk to them. Well can you refre it higher up the line to someone who has a direct line to these good like beings. I tell him sort it out or I am going to the Telecommunications Ombudsman. Oh that seems to have some effect. He promises to sort it and call me next day. Never does. I am about to ring them yesterday arvo when they ring me. Customer dispute resolution wanting to know if I was happy with the outcome. Excuse me. What bloody outcome. She listens out and says she will escalate the matter to make sure we get our internet back asap. I say ok and make bloody certain you dont bill me for any of this whole shamozzle. Minutes later n aussie tech from Telstra rings and asks what the problem is. I tell him whole story and he too cant believe it. He ring Telstra Wholesale and trys to get them to hurry it up. Gets nowhere. He apologises and hangs up.
I ring IINET and they have put pressure on Telstra to get it fixed. telstrs is now saying it will be done by tomorrow. I wont hold my breath. End story is IINET have be fabulous and Telstra is crap. Once I have a line back in my compe.lte bundle will be with IINET. Halfway through my letter of complaint to the TIO
