The shop said put the ones with twin fins together and they'll be OK and play nice. 2 weeks ago I had 9, now I have 4. The gold ones killed the black ones.

What pisses me off?
European Carp, (Carassius auratus auratus).
Last year I went fishing on the Murray river (near Tocomal).
Morning noon and night, they were all I could bloody catch.

(This one was under the legal size so I had to release it!) Sad

You mean Tocumwal?

The Murray Cod up there are rippers. Biggest one I ever saw was just over 5 foot long and 100 pounds.

Fkn carp though.

I fished Tocomwall for a couple of dazes and all I caught nothing but carp, cheap whine (and a 3 dae grow).

Then I went up the river to a little town called El Cobram and caught giant yellow tail by the bucketload.
Murray cod with tales big enough for 2 tinnies.

I wondered WHY the fishing was bad in one spot and so bloody brilliant at the other and I reckon I nutted it out.
You see, in Tocomwall we drank nsw beer and used giant cock-roach's for bait.

Up river @ El Cobramo, I was fishing with some mexican Union mates, drank cold Vic and we used taco's as bait.

So I'm kinda stuck for things to do. Offered to transfer it to a friend in return they put the money into my account, but alas no luck.

Silly bank. Confused


Found a solution, so it's all good now.

Glad to here it Proto.
Being penny-less (even for a few days) can be very stressful and leave you feeling worthless and vulnerable.
I'm not much further up the money tree than you and when my balance gets low or dips in the red I try and follow the Micawber Principle.
(Wiltkins Macawber from Dickens David Copperfield).

Micawber is known for asserting his faith that "something will turn up". His name has become synonymous with someone who lives in hopeful expectation. This has formed the basis for the , based upon his observation:



He says a few other things about living next door to poverty ...

"Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen pounds nineteen and six, result happiness. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pounds nought and six, result misery."

I myself could not live on 20 quid a year so I try and put some aside for a rainy day (or a flood...or a fire) but it's difficult and never enough (as you well know).

Sometimes we all get caught with our Maicawber's down.


Chin up, keep swinging and allwaes think positive.

Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones named one of his guitars (an early '50s Fender Telecaster with a Gibson PAF humbucking pickup installed in the neck position) "Micawber." Richards is known to be a fan of Dickens. Of the unusual moniker attached to the instrument, Richards said, "There's no reason for my guitar being called Micawber, apart from the fact that it's such an unlikely name. There's no one around me called Micawber, so when I scream for Micawber everyone knows what I'm talking about."

Thanks, yeah it's a tough one but I've learned from my parents how to survive on barely anything lived through it all growing up and even now. The last few days have been tougher, but I try to be positive sometimes it's lost in the sea of depressed thoughts and feelings but I'm battling on.

But it will get there, some days are tougher than others, but it all works out in the end so thanks.

Hope all works out with you and the battles you've been facing lately. Very Happy

The incessant ads on TV for Dancing With The Stars. To paraphrase Jim Morrison, they're all a bunch of %$#@ing slaves.

B doubles. Just saw the damage to a mid size car on the ring road by a b double. The road is grid lock, ambulance still there. Turn off onto sunshine ave, and lucky I don't floor it at traffic lights cos some $£$%^%%$ idiot trucky would have taken me out as he floored it through a must have been already, red light. Followed by another one! WTF! This is a busy suburban road! Fucktards

Most truckies actually do a really good job. It's not big money and they have a lot of regulations to comply with and safety considerations.

Most accidents between trucks and cars are caused by the car driver not being able to comprehend the fact that a 50 tonne truck aint going to pull up as quickly as a Hyundai Excel, so when some numbnut cuts in front of them then slams on the brakes because there's a red light ahead, the truckie is going to have to resort to serious evasive tactics to avoid just grinding said Hyundai and passengers into canned pizza topping.

A cousin of mine is a truckie, did the drive from Alice to Adelaide and back for a couple of years. Geez he has some stories.

Nah I'm not going with most. Most are under the pump and too many take stupid risks. there is a bloody awful roundabout round the corner from the warehouse we are working on, and every time I go round it, I go slow and wait, because so often, the trucks (this is a major industrial area) just expect to be able to go through. Sure enough today, I turn right, and had I not stopped a truck would have at least clipped me. And he goes off at me! Because I hesitated, even though I could see this 50tonne beast coming in way too fast from my tiny VW! So he got the finger back! A cop could stand at that roundabout and make a years pay in a day. Because it's a dead end street, and all warehouses, after about 4 they simply pull across the wrong side of the road when ever they feel like it, it's like playing $£$%^%%$ chicken.

I've had trucks sit on my arse too often, when I'm doing the speed limit or close to it in the left hand lane. When my daughter was on red P plates it happened all the time driving to UNi in Geelong. Scared the crap out of her. All they need is a kid to panic and it's all over. It's $£$%^%%$ dangerous. Bugger 100 speed limited it should be 10klm lower than the rest of the traffic.

Driving in the states, doing 60. - 70 mile an hour, and the trucks have to stay in the right lane and they do 10 mile per hour less than the cars. And it feels so much safer.

Every red light needs a camera. And any moron going through should get massive points and fine. Especially in a truck! And yes, my stupid husband thinks Amber means floor it too, and I blast him every time. And he wonders why the kids discs need machining every 6 months.

And don't get me started on shit flying off trucks. Had a hail storm on my bonnet the other day, not happy. When the guy got decapitated on the west gate by a brake disc off a truck. I was about 5 cars behind him.

And yeah I know cars jump in front of trucks, and yes that's just as bad. But at least the car will come off worse, and the driver asked for it. I nearly got totalled twice today, and neither time was my fault.

Rant over!
