Groundswell, mate, seriously? Why wouldn't you just bank your $350 weekly? If you were worried about dipping into it, lock it up in a term deposit. You're obviously not Leon the Assassin because you can read and write so I can't see why you'd even fathom having a 'mate' lock it in the work safe (unless the money came from less than legal ways of course) :)

Haha my income was mostly legit, except for some pocket money for a design i had selling in a store for a while.
He is just the most slippery slimeball ive ever encountered so i thought the same thing, "Thats what banks are for".
Regardless i blocked him on facebook and got a new phone number.
That story was nothing compared to others about the same guy but ill leave it at that.

Thats horrible Blowin yet so funny at the same time, i cant believe it.

zenagain, sauce in the places I frequent is 20-25c, while that is a little outrageous I've benn conditioned to accept being reamed and don't even consider it, however those little plastic packets are ridiculous, especially as one is rarely enough o spice up more healthy options.

I thought you were aware of that prectices last time you had s little rant blowin. that's been going on for a while. not all surf guides seem to stoop that low but it's MO for quite a few.

maybe it just depends on whether they just get the surfguide package for the geographically challenged who apparently are unaware of google as well. or the all inclusive push in package where they'll not only hold your hand to the beach, shepherd you in the line up, intimidate other surfers and push you onto waves. a great deal for those whose minds and arms are feeble.

like the injustice of paying for sauce I've learnt to accept it, but the worrying new development I've noticed are poms and europeans indulging in such services. its bad enough they paddle out eight at a time with surf giide instantly jockeying for best position and calling his clients further and further inside while it it's obvious to all other partakers that's not the best place for those of barely average skills. it appears if your a reasonably good looking girl who likes everyone looking at your almost naked bottom, such services may be administered for free.

so maybe cc that email to the euro and pommy mags as well, shaming the clients appears to be the only way to combat such ridiculousness because as any taxi driver will let you know, just about any abhorrent service your mind can think of is available for a price

I'm scared to ask but when I left Oz, a little packet of sauce was 10 cents. How much now?

occasionally 20c

50c from PieFace.

I usually end up telling the shopkeeper not to worry and got a cheese and bacon roll. It annoys me that much.

Is that the Wagyu beef one with truffles and gold leaf?

and after that they still sting you for sauce? I'm in the wrong business;)

This really gets my goat
WHY, WHY do we need to export gas at all for the rich to get richer???
It is an Australian resource, it should stay in the country for our own use in our own homes and businesses.
Keeping it in the country would mean less bores/fracking
At the moment we are just destroying the countryside, our groundwater, our food bowls and agricultural areas, and all for what?
The rich toget richer, our environment gets trashed and our cost of living keeps going through the roof

Wake up.
Get some tickets and a trade and do the work yourselves instead of just building a scaffold that takes manpower and weeks of work??????????

Ohh yeah sorry you can't do the work as you have no brain at all, or skill;)

I know they are in it for the money Udo, but is it really worth it trashing our own backyard for a quick buck?
We're not talking about four or five wells, there are thousands of them. Google earth around Dalby, Kogan and the Crossroads, it is quite amazing
And because it is going offshore, all other Australian States are struggling with gas supply and having to do more and more wells and fracking just to meet local demand.
Just doesn't seem right that we send it overseas, the environmental cost, yet we need to put in further wells because we don't have enough gas to supply our own country
Sound like the American guns campaign, the solution the gas wells is more gas wells

Sitting down to a beautiful meal at a great restaurant and due to the perversities of the law, not being able to slap some sense into the two girls that spend the entire duration of the meal taking selfies with ridiculous pouting faces and posing for snapchats next to their fish tacos.

Oh to be a masked vigilante enacting social justice outside of the restrictive confines of the legal system.

Adverse tides.

There, I've said it.

The tide I want WHEN I want it.

If it's not too much trouble of course.

And only if you've got some spare time after all your tireless efforts producing long period swells and complimentary winds.

Please ....?

Got sick of it Blowin, working away, paying of a mortgage, to a beautiful home in the bush that I could not appreciate.
Missing my girl, who was lonely as the young fella has ventured out;)

Have work close to home and even better money believe it or not;) haha just the driving is intense tho. not too bad after 40 mins and getting a cold tallie down the throat, for another 20 mins till home.

Home every night loving my job , which is important.

Wheatstoned scaffies haha, you're pulling my cock now.

Was trying to get on that job as a ropie on the hook up, but as usual it's the purple circle shit, not what you know but whose cock you smoke;)

$1600 a day tho.
Norchock would probably smoke that a day for sure... :---------0

The Bolt Report Stoops to all time low. Afternoon TV, kids could be watching, Andrew decides to show vision of a bloke in Gaza, holding up big butchers knife asking others to stab other people. He then says we are about to show some confronting scenes, so look away now.
Too late Mr Bolt, I dont want to see this, I wouldnt want my kids to see it, so why are you showing it on sunday afternoon?
Yes you were trying to support your argument, and you might say to help Australia, but i would say that not showing that footage on a Sunday afternoon time slot helps Australia. If you cannot understand this, you are making about as much sense as the man asking one to attack another and are not helping Australia one little bit. What does the Turnbull Government and the Labor Party say on this? All sides of Politics talk about seeing the way we want Australia to be, this is certainly not it. Share if you think we want to see unity and peace.
