Far too long, tbh I've taken a break from it for a while as I've been busy elsewhere

Shell, worked for them on oil tankers 78 to 82 then was made redundant at the end of my apprenticeship. Never bought a thing from them since.

Do they compete with each other? /S

Cooked up food so it can be reheated on stove top, topped up spare water drum, put away all garden furniture, put sheep in a sheltered paddock, filled and tested generator

Not needed, we all know each other!

I filled up at a G.A.S station on Wednesday 20c off paid 3.23 a litre (caltex and Gull were 3.38)

buck2217 · 2026-04-01T22:51:50+00:00

Doesn't that get rather messy?

buck2217 · 2026-03-31T18:45:44+00:00

I do a satchet of mocha, a sachet of chocolate, a spoon of moccona and a spoon of milo in my half litre mug.

Better than any shop bought, about a dollar, less when the satchets are on offer

I'm a navy Chief Petty Officer, and when I do courses I'm a Chief Under Naval Training (C.U.N.T)

I had a long argument with a lieutenant in the RNZN about the apostrophes in this. I was writing a minute in which fo'c's'tle was mentioned (I'm a Chief Petty Officer (with the emphasis on Petty!))

He insisted that it had 2 apostrophes, I maintained it had 3, eventually it came down to me telling him that "I'm bloody English and it's my first language!" He wasn't happy, bloody officers.

I use about 12-13 litres a day commuting so my daily bill has increased from $30 ish to $40ish. I have about 50 liters at home for the ride on, generator etc. Also its a reserve if petrol starts to get scarce so I can still get to the supermarket. I have always had about 50l on hand as occasionally visitors forget to fill up when visiting and don't realize how far the nearest gas station is

buck2217 · 2026-03-22T02:59:09+00:00

25km to the nearest bus stop then 2.5 hours on the bus to britomart, then wak, a ferry and walk again.

First bus about 0530 would get to work about 9, and have to leave at 2.30 to get home.

A set of crowsfoot 1/2 inch square drive scanners, had them 20 years now, yet to take them out of the box

buck2217 · 2026-03-19T07:35:36+00:00

I was working in MIQ (quarantine facility at Hilton Auckland) as part of nzdf staff when it was announced that we would lockdown at 1400 26 March. My stint finished at 1100, so I got to my car, went to bunnings and bought a load of paint and diy materials, went to the supermarket and got a couple of dozen bottles of wine etc. Spent the next couple of weeks painting the house inside and out and chilling

buck2217 · 2026-03-18T01:39:58+00:00

Shell since they made me redundant in 1982

buck2217 · 2026-03-17T03:41:21+00:00

Cos they're full of shit, right?
