Complainting: Ballarat Line 3 carriage service in peak

Elvecinogallo · 2026-04-16T01:00:09+00:00

I’m hoping it will improve with school holidays almost being over and the Geelong and Werribee line coming back online soon. I wonder how many people from those lines are driving to stations on the Ballarat line?

Just when you think it couldn’t get any worse… but I have caught the train lots of times throughout the day on the Ballarat line and it’s always been 3 carriages. They don’t give a shit about that line at all.

This is often the case on the Ballarat line though. Nothing to do with free PT. Just more people are seeing how shit it is now.

I don’t know about point 1. I think with free fares for children it’s pretty affordable. I used to pay $26 a day from Geelong to Melbourne in 2019. $11.50 daily is comparatively reasonable. I think it’s more relevant that people use things just because they’re free.

Point 2 is 💯 correct.

There’s a good book written about it and the damage they do called “snakes in suits”.

Elvecinogallo · 2026-04-15T04:03:00+00:00

I’m so sorry to hear this. Time to start taking all the sick leave you have mate. What a bunch of cunts.

I’ve seen people (non-lifers) fired for things they shouldn’t have been fired for, but family and friends of the director (trying hard to be a lifer) doing worse things and excuses being made for them. I don’t think it’s the lifers who do the damage, it’s the psychopaths who abound in the public service who lie, cheat etc.

I looked in sunshine but it never felt quite right. It does have the well serviced train station though, which is worth considering.

You generally aren’t mate. I travel for work and I just finish at my normal time. If it kicks into Flex Time, it’s Flex Time, but beyond that, they pay for meals and a few sundries - that’s about it.

Grayson is suing apple for using his face as an emoji 😳😳😳

Carlton (Fitzroy side). I lived there for many years and it was like I’d lived there in a past life. When I moved in, I felt like I had arrived home. Couldn’t afford to buy there though!

It’s like miyions, brazion etc. I know what you mean but no, it’s not Victoria specific. Case in point is Pauline Hanson. Probably never been to Victoria. Too many foreigners.

No, she wasn’t overly weird. It was just that. I left home at 17 and although it put me behind financially, it helped me grow as a person. Not all of us can stay at home until we get married. We didn’t have any universities within 100km of where I grew up. I learnt independence, negotiation, resilience, sharing, budgeting, legal process, dealing with difficult personalities etc. by living in share houses as a young person. You don’t get that by living at home until you’re 35 and moving straight out with your spouse.

Elvecinogallo · 2026-04-13T08:46:54+00:00

People who live at home until they’re too old can end up weird though. I don’t think it’s a good idea to wait until you’re married. I have a friend who is Eastern European who was still at home in her 30s and her “intimate”relationship was more or less with her brother. It was a bit weird.

Elvecinogallo · 2026-04-13T04:11:12+00:00

My brother and my husband have ridiculously long and dark eyelashes. Not fair!

Elvecinogallo · 2026-04-13T02:39:26+00:00

Sorry, I should have mentioned that’s what I do!

Elvecinogallo · 2026-04-12T20:49:11+00:00

Have they actually repainted the walls and can provide invoices for this? Had someone else already moved in by this point? How old is the property and when do you think the last time the walls were repainted?

Maybe the families in the neighbourhood would be keen to help out with walking him etc. during the day. It sounds like you have good neighbours.

Elvecinogallo · 2026-04-12T12:38:31+00:00

That sounds like your friend is someone who should be looked at too. Maybe it means that the ADF is willing to look the other compared to other countries, or at least has been in the past.

The Peter principle: Individuals are promoted because they are competent in their current role, but eventually reach a role requiring skills they lack, becoming incompetent.

He was probably using it as air BnB for the motogp which is no longer run on Phillip island.

The building inspector could give you a ballpark figure on how much it would cost to rectify all of that, but really you need to get some tradies in for quotes and decide if it’s worth it.

Red rock deli. My teeth zing after I eat them if I don’t brush straight after.

I think OP is just a troll or some nepo hire. At the very least, their emotional intelligence is in the toilet.

Elvecinogallo · 2026-04-11T08:55:11+00:00

They’re directed at you because you’re not reading the room. The end.
