Just Venting

Post by CoopsOz »

:x :x :x

Hey guys....just venting, completely off topic. My wife wanted to buy a treadmill sometime ago, I said "no, lets hire one first to see how you go".....low and behold, it didn't get used. Beautiful one would say, CoopsOz saved some bucks, anyway, we called the hire company and the truck was coming to pick it up in the morning so I decide to move it to the front porch....I dropped the bloody thing over the door frame and smashed up several extraneous pieces. I rang up the hire company and as I suspected, I had to buy the f$%king thing. At least they didn't charge new replacement costs, I got stung $600 and now I'm the proud owner of a broken F$#CKING treadmill, which I didn't even really want to hire in the first place. Man I'm pissed. :x :x :x :x

I'm gonna go and have a drink now....good thing that's only $2.50 a litre. :D
It is most absurdly said, in popular language, of any man, that he is disguised in liquor; for, on the contrary, most men are disguised by sobriety. ~Thomas de Quincy, Confessions of an English Opium-Eater, 1856

I'm driving to QLD last thursday, waited 25 mins for some takeaway for lunch, had to throw it out it was so burn't. $20 wasted. :evil:
Went through the border, there's a furkin speed copper parked up a side street, waitin for the $200 odd fine in the mail when i get back.
Went to the sevice station on the way to the cooperage, so i can pay the Barrell man, get there and count the money, $50 short...The furkin auot teller has ripped me o :twisted: :evil:
Ring the bank, they say...'Ohh we'll see if the machine credits you.... :twisted: :roll:

Not a good w'end...
Then the wifes son's mate having a beer say's "well, i better go, gotta go pick up a Semi load of malted grain"

EH? says the punkin..

Yep i drive a semi for a brewery says the mate.

Goin back past this way? says the punkin.


Long story short, i got about 150 kilo of free malt barley to bring home as a silver lining 8)
4 twenty kilo bags and my big 125 litre esky full :wink:
So good things come, buck up, Coops, it'll happen.

Most of my nice mangos that I just picked early this week look like they have anthracnose infection, and taste like shit. Not just me, all the local commercial orchards are having big problems cause we got some unseasonal early rain 2-3 weeks ago, just when the fruit was ripening up. Don't look like I be drinking any mango brandy this year. :( :x
Be safe.
Be discreet.
And have fun.
