    A Good, (Nah Brilliant) Win and I'm Darn Sobber as a Judge. But just opened a 12yr old bottle of Dimple, but I'm working tomorrow so just few drinks before retiring later.
    Wish I was in Swan Street tonight though. We have a nice pub in town too with the owner an ex 1967 Premiership Richmond Player which might be pumping along although he would be at the "G". Their family also own the Loddon Tavern in Richmond.
    One of my customers 3 houses away from my joint, well her Father is Ron Branton Richmond Captain 1960-1962 inducted into Richmond Hall of Fame in 2006. Best & fairest 1960-61-62. (Bit of Richmond Triva) Neville Crowe was captain after him.

    But then I get a long detailed text just before 8.00pm tonight from a newish customer wishing to discuss their garden plans and give a quote and to contact them. WTF it's Saturday night and AFL Grand Final tonight and I could be partying/pissed or camping in my personal time.



    Cheers Garry

    Congrates Melbourne Storm, wow what a team. Craig Bellamy will go down as one of the best coaches ever wouldn't he, across all Australian sports, just amazing.

    Well done Tigers. I can remember back to 1990 so can imagine how you feel - soak it up. Don't forget the dark sunglasses for the next week.
    Being a Collingwood supporter I hate them with a passion, maybe even more than St Kilda who done us by a point in 66. Tigers thumped us in 80.
    I'm a bit like Eddy though - AFL should realise the value in all the clubs in Vic - not saying they should not try to get the interstate clubs off on the right foot. They should be trying their hardest to keep the Victorian clubs alive and thriving. We have already lost one in Vic. Doggies got up last year and Tigers this year. Could it be Melbourne next year??
    Prelim final earlier saw 14865 people turn up interstate. Tigers showed everyone what the meaning of football is to Victorians. Well done and well deserved

    Two yeah? Fitzroy merged with the Brisbane Bears and South Melbourne lost there identity in a way to become the Sydney Swans. As a Fitzroy supporter it sucked to merge but the 3 peats helped ease the pain (( :

    As a Brisbane supporter i tend to agree lol, though the Cats and the Hawks are no push overs. Pity we didn't win that 4th premiership then the discussion would be mute.

    As a Port Power supporter we fortunately played a Brisbane bears side in the grand final who were not in their prime on the day.

    I ride on mow a Catholic Church Grounds every month for the past 7 yrs. I add the GST as l have too being registered for it. Being a Religious oraganisation makes them exempt from GST. But it’s not my problem if they if they have a loop hole to claim it or not.

    Plus; I don’t swear whilst doing that job, honest. Even if the ride on did a belt. I would just say. “Oh my belt has broken, that’s ok. It’s a lovely day all the same”

    Was having an issue whereby the car would go in to limp home mode when overtaking on a highway. Had to keep pulling over turning ignition off and on to get it out of limp home mode.

    I'd been looking for ages on car forums for a hint but there are so many idiots on driving forums that it it a waste of time.

    Anyways I did some research on Dynamic Stability Control and the wheel speed sensors.
    They were covered with magnetic shavings. Cleaned them with compressed air and bobs your uncle. No Cost except for some compressed air.
    No tools required other than removing the wheel.

    Can I just say this never happens.

    Ever.

    So I'm expecting it to fail again soon.
