the all aussie dribble thread!

[Steve NW WI]

Im not gonna explain everything we do, or why, but Neil would not have gone camping if not for bypassing the F word filter in his post.

Seriously,
Bob needs to take up lawn bowling or something elso to pass the time instead of the same old tirade on a certain few.
It does spoil the dribble thread with the constant stream of the same old crap:bang:

yep and that is definitely a breech of the forum rules and Im sure Neil regrets it, for the forums sake. It is just my opinion, but if steps had been made earlier, Neil wouldnt have. Simply put, how many times has Neil lost his cool or talked down to any other forum member? How many times have people expressed their distrust and annoyance with Bob........

Its not rocket science.

Ill leave it at that.

As the plane prepared to descend, he came swishing down the aisle and told us that 'Captain
Marvey has asked me to announce that he'll be landing the big scary plane shortly, so lovely
people, if you could just put your trays up, that would be super.' On his trip back up the aisle,
he noticed this well-dressed and rather Arabic looking woman hadn't moved a muscle. 'Perhaps
you didn't hear me over those big brute engines but I asked you to raise your trazy-poo, so the
main man can pitty-pat us on the ground.'

She calmly turned her head and said, 'In my country, I am called a Princess and I take orders
from no one.'

To which (I swear) the flight attendant replied, without missing a beat, 'Well, sweet-cheeks,
in my country I'm called a Queen, so I outrank you. Tray-up, #####' (female dog)

In my (our, as moderators) defense, there are more than a few threads in this place where there's friendly bickering that sounds not so friendly at face value, it gets difficult to determine if there's, for lack of a better term, malice in the posts. Sometimes, I know it's just boys goofing around. Other times, the line isn't so easy to make out. Adding to that in this case is the Down Under vernacular that makes it a little more difficult to understand.

So what's a poor overworked and unpaid mod to do? Generally we let it slide a bit unless it's very cut and dried, or we wait for someone to push the "Report Post" button.

There ya have it, folks. If someone says something that crosses the lines in your view, report it, and we'll look into it. Please fill out a little bit of "why" when you do it.

Now back to our regularly scheduled dribble, before I have to find my "Complaining about site moderation" button.

PS - any of you can feel free to PM me any time you have an issue with what I am (or am not) doing as a mod. I've got thick skin and take criticism well - but do expect to hear my opinion as well. I like arguing as much as the next guy.

Good stuff Steve.

While we're here, can we do something about that Matt dude ?

The bastard keeps giving me grief when I give him hell.

He's always got a comeback to my lines that I reckon are crackers and it's giving me the ####s.

I mean, he's a mate and everything but sheesh, there's limits to what a bloke can take

Ta.










FWIW Bob's been pretty crafty, just push, prod, poke, just like the kids did when sitting in the back row way back in school and it's hard to know from an outsiders perspective what's what.

 

[deepsouth]

All fair enough in my book too.

Only other option is for everyone to block Bob like I did and not reply. He'll needle away, get no bite and be unfulfilled.

 

[husq2100]

derwoodii, pic #1 looks like a Stuyvesant advert, #2 like everyones annoying family member slide show #3 something from the movie "Stone" #4 Peter Jackson advert, and #5 typical Aussie school photo from the better days. Nice one :msp_thumbsup:

Just have a cup of cement and harden up (you know how it really goes, but I don't want to join Neil on his holiday with Bob, hope they're not sharing a tent :msp_confused:

That's how you do it

What I did too.

First time I've ever done it on any forum, which is sad.

 

[tdi-rick]

BTW it was a damned cold, drizzly wintery day here, you'd probably say a really Victorian/Tasmanian sort of day :msp_tongue: God only knows how bad it is for Neilo up on the hill.

It actually took damned near a bag but it worked, ta

do what your mother told you....

Dont pick your scabs:

So I was sitting on the toliet at mums, and these 2 little bubbles in the plaster have been bugging me...and have got a little worse in the last few months. Since I was already setting/patching the hall ceiling for her I figured whats the difference. These 2 bubbles have been there a very long time and I figured they were the tips of screws coming through a backing block holding a plumbing fitting for the vanity in the bathroom on the other side of the wall. So I picked away with my fingernail, the paint and plaster coming off a little to easy..in no time I have a hole about 50mm dia, all with only my fingernail. Wasnt the screws I thought, but rather just 2 nails fixing the plaster board to the stud rusting badly (Rust grows and expands so it pushes plaster out, same reason it causes concrete cancer as it grows on the steel reinforcing and the concrete cannot expand) hmmmm, I figure give it a quick patch and investigate further when time permits. I mix up some base coat and patch. A day later it hasnt gone off properly....can only mean moisture! Oh well, no difference in patching a 200x200 hole than cutting a 1600x1200 sheet out to check proper. (Serious there is rearly no difference in time) So I take the skirting and architrave off and remove the lower wall sheet, expecting to find a copper pipe and small leak. As Im pulling the board off there is mold on the back and its a little damp in sections........remove the sheet and there is NO PLUMBING in this wall! WTF???? cleaned everything up and where the 2 rusty nails are/were there is the smallest amount of rot in the stud (approx 300mm off floor) that goes down to the bottom plate and a small amount there. There is no sign of leaking water etc, btw this is an internal wall perpandicular to the external wall..... I have cleaned everything and will let sit for a week or so to see if anything changes or appears.

Dont pick your scabs....it just causes more problems! :bang:
