Yes, but I think its primary drug related. Also poor mental heath assistance. Look after your boy. Rehabilitation can take some time.


Agree, drugs on the road :crazy:

Results are in. Complete Achilles tendon separation. Surgery and off work for quite a while. Unfortunately the day before my wife broke her big toe (open fracture with splintering of the bone) so that's two down at home and work. :lol:

Yeah me too,,,,, as in,,, I hope he recovers well from whatever injuries.
I hope also that the deranged idiot gets what he/she deserves.
Aha,,,,,,,,, if he's young it'll eventually heal, but it takes a long time.
One of my daughters, and my Ex both went through the same "injury" albeit from sport,,,,, not idiot drivers.
I do not fear death itself... Only its inopportune timing!
I've come to realize that,,,,, the two most loving, loyal, and trustworthy females in my entire life were both canines.

Hopefully it heals without longterm issues.

I smashed my shoulder on the track the day before my girlfriend went into hospital for abdominal surgery :-)
My mate stole me from my hospital and took me to visit her in her hospital a couple times. We were both in for two weeks and when we got out were both bed-ridden for a couple more weeks, was a nightmare :-)

I know I'll cop some flack for this but, it is what it is.

Although I love Australia and wouldn't contemplate living anywhere else, I have long believed that we aren't the "lucky country" but actually the "stupid-c*nt tree".

We've given our mineral wealth away for 11-13% of its worth, we ban things that should be legal and allow things that should be banned, and according to multiple sources, we fall victim to scams more than any other nationality.

Sadly, two articles I read this morning confirm my opinion.

Hit the nail on the head... the recent " we are all going to die " fiasco was a real eye opener to most, on how stupid and gullible people are in this country.. it would be funny if it wasn't so scary...

Long story...longish
Looking on ozgunsales I spotted an ad for the pump action southern cross small arms taipan - a pump action 223 cal rifle (https://www.ozgunsales.com/listing/1210 ... t_new.html)
I note the calibre is listed as 223Wyld. Not being familiar with that calibre I start typing 223wyld into google and one of the suggested options is
"223 wyld disadvantages"
OK curiosity piqued even further, I select that option and top of the page is "223 Wylde barrels CANNOT shoot . 300 Blackout. Doing so would cause your gun to malfunction and immediately have parts break."
I sh*t you not.

Makes sense. 300 blackout is a bogan caliber. Taipan light is a bogan gun.
You can chamber 300 blackout in a 223 wyld and fire the rifle.
But it doesn’t end well..

“Have parts break” :lol: well yes the damage will be somewhat apparent

wow... just wow...

I have a friend who used to pick up his daughter from work and due to her job he would regularly have to sit in the car park ( a shopping centre) to wait for her ... he would ring me and describe the " antics " of people, naturally i would continue to remind him to please stop watching people in a car park as you will lose faith in humanity (as the above story illustrates so well).

the um... I'm going to say " ignorant " people, that are breeding in epic proportions is scary..

All that aside,,,,, another one that is obviously trained into check out chicks and Mac Donalds staff that seems to be the norm these days is,,,,,,
(And is p!ssing me off chronically)
You go to a supermarket (for example) and attend the check out with a bottle of milk and loaf of bread.

The check out chick says,,,,,, "Is that all ?"

:wtf: :wtf: I am so often tempted to start patting myself down,,, and saying,,,, Hang on a minute love,,,, I'm sure I had a box of Tampons stuffed into my hip pocket,,,,,,,, what the F do you really expect ???

Yeah. So I go into a servo that I have their card ( like a Shell Card) and present the card. They always ask if I had a xxx receipt for shopping or am a member of xxx membership.

Um, if I did I would have it. Treat you like you are stupid

Ha, yep,,,,
The other day I went to the only fuel outlet in town, (a general store that has a single bowser for petrol, and diesel.)
They have live cameras in the checkout showing the pumps.
I got one jerry can of unleaded.
At the checkout I said $30 for fuel.
The teenage girl said "What fuel" ?
I replied "petrol"
She then inquired "What type ?"

I replied "petrol,,,,,, unleaded"
And then as an afterthought I asked her "How many types of petrol do you know of and how many types do you have available ?"

She replied,,,, "Un Leaded"

I smiled and said "exactly",,,,,,,, paid the money and walked out.,,,,,,,,,,, :wtf:

I didn't bother to say to her,,,, Look at your screen love,,,, and it'll tell you.

Went to kfc the other day for a combo, ask for a bottle of sunkist.
All out so she offers me a sunkist zero sugar, so I tell her a bottle of water will do.
Proceeds to hand me a bottle of water with half the water missing....
