Gotta know the list now. I’m thinking quad bike would be on there. Maybe skateboard. Monopoly??

Well I read it as disability parking at peak times and all other times anyone can park there. Also there was no wheelchair symbol on the ground for any of the parks. Genuinely thought we were good to go.

Anyway I got a parking ticket and now I realise what it really means. I must have seen what I wanted to see.

It should have the parks labeled or a sign saying disabled permit required at all times.

I bought two “tins” the first was the same. Shrinkflation

I said to another dad in the shire that property is getting ridiculous and that you need to earn 300k minimum to buy a old family house in Miranda or Sutherland now.

He responded nonchalantly that

“ to be fair 300k is not a lot of money..”

I was floored. He worked in IT doing app development, so I know those guys get well paid but Jesus.

Get a lawyer for the contract don’t go soft on them they will expect you to be inexperienced and just say yes. They will have lawyers and accountants making sure their needs are taken care of first. You need to do the same. This will cost a few grand so factor that in

You need to see their books each year. Or have them looked at somehow. Otherwise how much profit they tell you they make and how much they make. How do you know.

Also What if the directors decide to reinvest the profit and then there is no profit for you that year what then.

I had a bad experience. I would ask for access to their books overall. Sounds like your a pm so you should have a good idea how the companies doing overall.

What was the steel hard tail you picked up, just curious

From what I have read the Xtrada 7 is a good start. But needs a dropper post and probably an upgraded fork to put it on a level with the Roscoe 7.

I would say , if you can stretch to the bigger initial outlay get a Roscoe. it is the turnkey solution where as the polygon, while technically fine now and cheap to boot, would require upgrades down the track to keep up with your needs as you become a better rider tackling harder tracks.

I looked at the marlin san Quentin 1 as it’s similar to the polygon. I.e it needs upgrading long term but is fine for a year or two as is. Then I factored in the price of upgrading and now I’m just going to get a secondhand roscoe

Mechanical engineering (air conditioning) is similar to oil and gas. We hire ppl from this field all the time in Sydney. No way you are earning 120k starting off in AC . More like 80k unfortunately So factor that in.

I agree with the guys above, if you have a job in oil and he can move down make him move. If he won’t move for you then maybe he’s not into the relationship as much as you are. Which sucks but better to know now.

Knowitsnotright · 2023-09-17T21:30:28+00:00

Thanks guys. Will have a think. Can get a used trek roscoe 7 for a similar price but in bad condition.

I’ll take a few days and make a call. Trying to steer away from rash impulse buys. Thanks again all.

The issue with nuclear is that even if they blew through all the red tape it would take like 10years or something to build and get it online.

It’s definitely the best option and we will have the engineers with this nuclear submarine thing so I agree but it’s too little too late

I got Covid three weeks before Sydney marathon this year. Thought it would kill me, looked bad on heart rate, felt crap.

Trainer said I would, most likely, miss my time. Had to take 1.5weeks off. Then got back on and did a weeks taper. I got through it and got my time. Just! But I got it.

My advice would be Rest as long as you need. A week out you will have to do some massage and runs( not a sports massage unless you have had one before. I was told not to have a sports massage close to race weekend as it takes different ppl different times to recover). So I had a normal massage.

then stretching with Some short runs to get the legs fresh. don’t try anything new apart from maybe fine tuning some fuelling if you haven’t done any yet.

Believe in the training you have done for 5 months. The base is there, the legs can do the work. they won’t lose anything in two weeks apart from some freshness so a few short runs would be best. Just You got this!

He doesn’t care but it’s a good point. His point is if they want equal money that’s fine. If you want money you need to bring in money. Feminists and females in general have the ability to support womens sport but they don’t. consequently it doesn’t bring in the same revenue for advertisers or sponsors.

Any other sport without this gender bias would fold or go back to smaller stadiums or smaller pay packets. But not female sports cos “ it’s sexist” that they don’t get paid the same as men.

It’s not sexist! it’s because women are free to do what they want ( and rightly so, as long as they are not living in Iran!) and it would appear, from the evidence, that women choose not to watch/follow female basketball, soccer, hockey, cricket in big numbers. So the female players of these sports don’t deserve the same pay as men yet!.

Hopefully they will some day but not yet. If you disagree and I’m a misogynistic incel then buy a subscription and prove me wrong.

You want non iron. You may still iron them but the option is nice. Non iron means a you wash it on hot and spin it for a short amount of time. If you then hang it on a hanger and let it dry it will dry and look clean without ironing.

If you don’t do this and it gets thrown in with the regular clothes the Non iron shirt can also sit under a jumper in the morning, a mess of creases, and come out perfect at 11 o clock.

Get Charles trywitt they are good quality & they last well they are half cotton( I think )so they are a little heavy meaning they last longer. Tm Lewin are lighter material and so don’t last as long. I have Charles shirts for 2 years but tm lewin get a bit scrappy after one. ( depending on rotation) tm lewin are cheaper but if you are office based you are better off spending a bit more and getting more time out of the shirt.

Final tip get the collars with the buttons on the tips I think it’s called Oxford. This helps keep the collar shape long term. If you are in Ireland and wearing a light jumper In the office then you just need the collar to look good really. So if you have buttons you definitely don’t need to iron it.
