    And while I'm still grumpy and blackbear hasn't told me to pull my head in, how about the ones that park their cars in the front yard while there's a driveway and a garage and a street to park on. One I used to do always had to move 2 or more cars before I could start...every three weeks same time same day same thing...umm why not just park on the driveway that day or the night before!
    Andy, we should give Blackbear a big man hug, he loves us...

    Absolutely correct, I have a bloke that gets me to slash his vacant block just to avoid getting a council fine. Last time I did it he stuffed me around getting paid so when he rings me again I'll tell him that I'll send him an Invoice, when you pay it then I'll go and do it. No money no slashing, if you don't like it get someone else or pay the council fine.

    I don't have time to chase people up for money, don't want to don't need to.

    You don't need the crap chasing money

    What makes me the most grumpy is tonight when I parked my ute for 1.5 hours and came back to find my tool box with $3000 worth of chainsaws etc stolen, had a look around the area and couldn't find anyone with it



    So if anybody is offered any second hand chainsaws, combi systems, blowers etc around Ballina NSW please let me know


    Cheers

    Andy

    i was wondering that to. i know it must suck massively for this sort of thing to happen (our old house got cleaned out twice before we moved) and it doesnt make it any easier to swallow but surely everyone is insured against this sort of thing?
