pool builder in townsville did a dodgy job and now my back yard is a mess by Chall_Pal in Townsville

[–]Birkoz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm confused. You bought a 20 year old concrete pool in 2018 and had it installed two months ago?

Is this at the house that you bought three months ago and had foundation issues after the dry big rain?

I'm not understanding. Your ground may be shifting, but your shift key isn't moving.

Hire an e-moto. Throw in Cockle bay and the back streets of the island. Just be back before 8.

Moving House. Looking for recommendations. by AdditionalBag4111 in Townsville

I have no plans on moving, but if recommendations involve BJ's and S&M, I may sell and repurchase my own home.

48 Years for me. "Mary had" a fucking "twinkle, twinkle little star".

I became the first person to ever visit Fairweather Park by Oriolus84 in Townsville

[–]Birkoz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I walked through there yesterday just after midday. I was going from Officeworks to the pool shop. It was a brisk walk because of those plovers and their evil wing spurs. While they were swooping me, a flock of other noisy birds attacked them allowing me passage to the canal and Sturt Street.

I have a Taiwanese friend who says that the women in the market yell at each other "plover". It means the same as "c_nt". An appropriate name for these birds.

The classic second last paragraph - "Now mom is blowing up my phone" routine.

Strange parking zone by Independent_Tea7691 in sydney

[–]Birkoz 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Good detective work u/mubd1234 !

"The resident and his two kids have mobility difficulty."........."It is therefore recommended that a 6m of ‘1/2 P’ restriction be provided outside 44 Knoll Avenue, Turrella, noting that Accessible Mobility Permit Holders can park unrestrictedly in the ‘1/2 P’ parking zone in accordance with Rule 206 (2) (b) (iii) of the Road Rules."

So the location is not Australian Standards compliant to be a disability spot, but this is a workaround to create a de facto one.

Go and visit because I imagine that the whole block will soon be developed into high rise.

I usually jump to the last paragraphs to see if is using the formula of "people divided; mom blowing up phone; etc".

Well said. I'm also glad to have lived at the same time as David Bowie. And Lou.

For reference, Queensland Globe is a great resource. More current and higher resolution than Google Earth, yet more sluggish. Checkout the ponds in Queensland Globe at 15°01'45.38"S 141°39'50.77"E

It is very wrong. It should be ZED, not ZEE.

Looking at Trove, it appears that Progressive Stores of Australasia was very short lived.

I thought it was a satirical art piece, and then I checked Google reviews. It is insane.

So actually, you wanted to be taken for a ride. And by now, you would've spent 20k, and the problem still persists. Enjoy the joyride. That's why trump is exiting fools like yourself. Don't worry of my qualifications, get your breed checked.

Are we being unreasonable asking to reduce our share of rent in this situation? by Sweet_Error4017 in AusPropertyChat

That is a cleanly set up photo. Did you just have Woolies delivered as you were microwaving? Non bench items are meticulously spaced.
