yeah, but you're hardly reflective of "normal" are you?
I guess I don't like taking a dump with someone else 3 feet away. If it was a dunny in a private room, and it's clean, no issues. First thing i do when I check into a hotel is throw my suitcase on the bed and break in the crapper. |
Lol, I don't know seems pretty normal to me to use public toilets for their intended purpose! Perhaps you're the weird one. I feel a poll coming on... |
Hehe I happily shit anywhere!
But thanks for another reason to avoid Thailand Ronrat, dunnies everywhere? No way, really? Not in tourist spots surely? |
Om the highways in rural areas they have stops for furl snacks, coffee etc. No grog. In the resorts and cities no rproblem, They even have bum guns to wash yourself. I am moving in a few weeks and the place we are looking at has 3 bathrooms and toilets and is 2 bedroom double storey place. For about 110 dollars a week. 2 upstairs as ensuites andone downstairs. Wewon;t use the second bedroom very often (I didn;t want one) but it is only one with hot shower so his and hers bathrooms upstairs and a vistors one downstairs (and for footy quarter time breaks). 200 metres to a pizza jointm a wholesale grog shop and 7-11 _________________ Annoying opposition supporters since 1967. |

Just been to the BIL workshop to cook a BBQ for hubby, my nephew and a mate, they're clearing the last of it ready for painters, hopefully we have someone to lease it, so my sister in law has an income. Hopefully my nephew will move in there when his business can support it. The grief was all over their faces, Ian's beloved Hotrod sold, and it had just driven off. God it's so sad there. Like ripping off bandaids nonstop. All the little bullshit we get so hooked up with. Really, it's nothing. My other nephew only made his peace with his dad in his final hours. 2 wasted years. Hug your loved ones, you never know when it's the last time. Cheers. _________________ You cant fix stupid, turns out you cant quarantine it either! |

Went to the Gold Coast over the weekend, sort of for the footy, mainly for the sun
Anyway, our suite had a balcony overlooking the ocean & there was much excitement at realising we could see whales swimming out at sea.
Until day 2 when I noticed one wasn't moving on, just popping up in the same spot - caught in the stupid shark nets
Couple boats went out to it & it was freed
Then found out later the same day the freed whale was a mother whale & her baby had also been stuck in the net and had died
The story in the paper said there's been calls every year for the nets to be replaced with drums during whale season but no, the council or government or whichever idiot decides such things thinks the nets are fine. Apparently this was the 3rd stuck whale in a week.
Get rid of the nets altogether - the ocean is there for whales & sharks, not people. If people want to swim let them risk it or stay out!
Poor whale, so upsetting |

When they put the nets in in the 1960s there weren't any whales, or so few they were never sighted. Different story now whaling has been banned since the late 70s. You're right, time for a rethink, but protecting swimmers from sharks has played a big role in the success of the tourist industry there for a long time. |

Lots of Bull and tiger sharks around the area IIRC. You need a way to keep sharks away from the beach, the water is a key tourist attraction. _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |

They don't try to keep the crocs away in the NT....
So, because it's a tourist attraction it's ok if a few whales die? |

The crocs are both a protected species and a tourist attraction themselves, but you don't find a lot of crocs on the beach. They can do ocean water but prefer the rivers and mud to sand.
Is it OK if the occasional whale gets caught in the nets? It's not ideal and if there's a way to keep the sharks away that doesn't hurt whales, then I'm for it.
I'd guess more whales die from beaching themselves than from sharknets, so it's a price I'm willing to pay. _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |

Yeah but beaching themselves is some weird natural phenomenon, shark nets are a man made death trap (& not just for whales). Apparently these drum things work. Or close the beach for a month or two in winter to let animals do what they've done for hundreds of years in peace. |

Dunno about completely closing them, but it's not hot enough to go swimming there in winter anyway (unlike Port Douglas ) so maybe compromise if you can be sure the Whales are only there in winter and do some close in netted areas for swimmers like the stinger nets in the tropics and let the surfers take their chances. _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |
