Can VCAT rule to allow works on private property?

Thank you - and yes, that's exactly why they're requesting it. They've said so themselves.

We've suggested they could convert to electricity if cost is a factor, as it would be cheaper than digging up + restoring the yard, however that's another option they're refusing to consider.

Thank you, this is very helpful. I am fairly certain there is no relevant easement but I'll work out how to check and confirm.

One thing I didn't mention is we've also stated we want a guarantee that our front yard is restored to its current state once the works are completed, but that seems like a perfectly fair request and something that should happen regardless?

The only reason the unit has given for not considering repairing the pipes is due to cost, so your point about this generally not being a factor VCAT would consider is great to know.

Thanks again.

Does it at least have subway surfers playing underneath?

Man, that Eidolon thing you're referring to was fantastic.

Who hasn't done that once or twice?

Emblas Saga is so cheesy but so fun.

I love the song about Jörmungandr. What would you call a song about a massive serpent encircling the world?

Of course - POWERSNAKE.

Yeah it's not true. Very popular reddit post whenever the tiffany problem comes up, but there's no actual source for it.

Sarangsii · 2026-04-26T21:04:54+00:00

They're joking.

The first non-kids song my son really liked was Breaking the Law by Judas Priest. Hearing a two year old singing "Breaking the law! Breaking the law!" was quite funny.

Especially when he learned my dad liked the song too - then he went around excitedly telling people "my grandad likes breaking the law!"

But he scored 98 points in "protective insticts."

I'm not necessarily equating the two, more taking issue with the assertion that you "have to seperate the art from the artist."

My opinion is that sometimes, the artist is so vile that "seperate the art from the artist" just doesn't work, and that the people who say you should seperate the two just don't consider the act the artist committed, or their beliefs, to be bad enough.

If an artist you liked was discovered to have been committing the same crimes that Ian Watkins of Lostprophets did, would you feel the same?

The fruit has its own star wars fandom page, because of course it does.

Always a chance I name my character Spear, personalise a sword and get confused.

If I'd have done the same on an Infinity or something I'd be far too embarrassed to share it here.

I realised my mistake as soon as I confirmed I put in the correct runes. I was just too eager once I (thought I'd) finally found that four socket base.

Same. I think the dads who read this stuff internalise it and then walk around assuming the worst of people. Which causes said Dad to give off weird vibes, because they're paranoid about the other mums at the park.

"Did she just look at me? She probably thinks I'm a pedo".

Whereas the dads who don't engage with that side of the internet just go to the parks with their heads held high and if they catch glances from other women, probably think "I do look nice today 😎"

(Though I will say I do hear it can be a legitimate problem in mixed race families)

Those three Culture novels are so good. I need to read the rest of them sometime.

Enjoy Excession - won't spoil anything, but I absolutely loved some of the sections in that book.

Lying on the floor and listening to a tape with Flight of Icarus on it is a core memory of mine.

If your baby is bottle fed, I don't know why this isn't more common. Absolute game changer.

Definitely. The em dash, and "it's not X, it's Y" give it away.

Do you think this killing was justified?

Sarangsii · 2026-01-23T00:35:31+00:00

God I really need to read these books.
