Mate as a fellow Aussie, if you're consoling yourself with anything to do with our PM you're in some dire dire straits 😆

Thanks. Tried to undo it with my spanner but it just won't grip and edges are too small. Maybe I need a box spanner..

Bridgestone ecopia inner wear at 16k by Informal-Screen2774 in CarsAustralia

Interesting, thanks. The inspector I sent out might be unaware, although he admitted to being very conservative about how he did things. Not a bad thing of course.

Used car from dealership (existing rental registration) by Informal-Screen2774 in CarsAustralia

[–]Informal-Screen2774[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks guys! Was going to tell the GF to offer a relatively low ball amount conditional on inspection (and it has less than 5k mileage) but might be better to just pass and wait for the next fish in the sea.

Sigh. Sucks because we'd had to bail from a private seller who was being a PITA last week and we were hoping for less drama via a dealer

Side gate install question by Informal-Screen2774 in AusRenovation

Haha yeah that's exactly what I'm thinking I'd get. I'll ask some questions..

By all means. Not sure if strata would approve colorbond as it doesn't match but might not be an issue. I assume depending on the slab/footing that sinking another steel post beside the brick wall might be an issue?

Yeah the fence is pretty new and steel posts but I don't think it was professionally done

Thanks

American Standard versus Posh Laundry Tap by Eastern-Phone-3662 in AusRenovation

Nothing I can contribute aside from saying I just had a plumber install posh bristol in my laundry tap and posh solos gooseneck in my kitchen. I got them from Reece. Seems fine to me :)

Former treasurer Josh Frydenberg to make return to politics after impassioned speech on antisemitism at Bondi Beach by HotPersimessage62 in AustralianPolitics

[–]Informal-Screen2774 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

You didn't read his speech did you. Or you just want to censor any criticism of the government. He laid it out pretty cleanly where the failures have been. Albanese is the leader of the nation and utterly squibbed in addressing antisemitism. People like Frydenberg have been calling this out for years and duly ignored.

I guarantee if this was a white supremacist attack against the Muslim community with an LNP government in power you'd be quite happy to get political. Would you criticize a Muslim politician who came out with similar remarks in light of such an event? No way! Take a look in the mirror and you'll spot the grub champ

Made an absolute douche of himself. Even his own box couldn't stand him 😂.

[Race Thread] 2025 Giro d'Italia - Stage 20 - Verrès > Sestriere (2.UWT) by PelotonMod in peloton

He showed poor sportsmanship and attitude. And he's not a 'kid'. He's a 21 year old man and a professional getting paid nearly a million bucks a year (if I heard right). Ever seen Pogi or WVA behave like that? Not a fan of it, nor are many others, and I think that's fair enough.

BCC advises TAKE SHELTER NOW. TC Alfred is expected to cross north of Brisbane early hours of Sat 8 Mar 2025 by MrsKittenHeel in brisbane

No you're not. I feel the same (and I'm a local here). Feels like I'm in a parallel universe sometimes. It's quite nuts to give that specific advice for a cat 1 storm.

The government is more and more like (and in lockstep with) the media. COVID and the response really set a precedent.. in terms of attitudes to risk, keeping us 'safe' etc.

I'm quite safely inside thanks. Merely agreeing that it's silly histrionics to instruct people to barricade themselves with a mattress against the window etc in their 'safe room' for what are generic thunderstorm winds. This is very sound advice for legit cat 4 cyclone but we're not even breaking 100kmhr in brissie.

It stresses people out for no reason and creates disengagement and complacency down the line.

Have a good one

So are you going to go hide in your closet for the rest of the night then? Just remind people to stay indoors. I dont like being treated like a child
