     (It would only be a conspiracy theory: as no soul is going to confirm a truth of skullduggery unless forced and even then the truth is only commensurate with the punishment and even then torture(as in jail i.e. banishment from society) is proven to not work towards getting the truth. Thugs are thugs until the end- no friends in the criminal world etc....)

THE ANSWER IS--->To force aussies to bow to the boom bust cycle of mining.... that's why the baby boomers own houses: it's stability in an inhospitable investment environment.

THAT'S MY THESIS AND I'M STICKING TO IT: ...& I DARE ANY LIB TO ATTACK THAT AND NOT LOSE THE INTERNET BECAUSE I AM THAT F'N GOOD(PARDON THE FRENCH  :o :o)  :D

:D ;D :)  Funny one deathray

Hmm had a big storm here yesterday arvo.  A one in 20 yr event ( :o)  Was fierce.  lost power 10.30 last night '' got it back this arvo at 3.15pm. Had a big feed on bacon, steak and eggs tonight .. will have to thro a bit of food out.

Saddest tho is I lost the top half of an ancient remnant Scribbly Bark that  was hollow and housed lots of critters. Also lost a dead gum that had a native bee nest in it. The winds were ferocious, and got 53mm +  ie more than 2 inches in just over 1 1/2 hrs.. it was wild.  Thing is the power didn't go out for 4 hrs after it had passed. The Energex authorites switched us off to fix a lot of damage. Funnily enoughm, friends of mine who live 3 kms away had no power loss and 35 mm ... it was quite something,  stinking hot still, storms today went further north so far.  I love our mother nature.. the storms usually miss me, BUT  you end up sharing the wear sooner or later . I have photos but not real good at sizing attachments.  The same thing I found when I first uploaded pics here, years ago. Some kind Forum poster sent me how to do it.. guess what.. I haven't looked at it yet.. still waiting for enough motivation,  oh and a new mother board.. :) ::)

Who would want you to post your dribble any quicker than what you are able to now? You need to be relegated back to 9600 baud to free up the Internet.

Sounds like a fair bit of rain.

I threw the moblie phone away ten years ago... and I've been saying that a few years now! Complete freedom it really is.

Mobile phones and dumb terminals are all about the workplace: there's no efficiency involved it's just the fascist boss following you home. If you need it for making money fair enough but that is not what people use it for. I don't read too many books but i hear you on the switching off and playing chess by candlelight type of old school conversation thing- stress is a killer and we all have our own methods of escaping the encroachment of technology.

Technology is, like anything, just a tool: "The heart is ephemeral and seeks to attach itself to things. Only the sword of wisdom can cut through the strings of Mara." (Mara being the illusion that is the material world!)

So a little birdy once told me anyway  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

That WAS a weather event.!!!  :)

I still had my homeline, which was operational.. but no power and no techy stuff.!!  I really couldn't care less, its just something else to deal with in this, the real world.
::)

I'm with you there. Wouldn't be hooked-up.. but...oh well some things are too difficult to explain.

I live quite happily in this real world. I don't tweet or FACE or any of that other garbage. What a world.. the kids are welcome to it.!

I only have a computer and mobile phone because it was prudent about 10 yrs ago. I still like to have my mobile with me when I drive... an obvious security measure, and I use it to check the radar from BOM,, the progress of local storms a perfect example.  Otherwise..?  nah not something i NEED. Altho have some good photos on it. Not into 'selfies' ::) my Goodness me, when did people become so stupid.?

Well, maybe I forgot the practicalities of it for country people that need to know what the weather is and stuff but obviously i'm speaking from a city slicker Point of View  :D :D

I'm not totally unconnected of course but I only use email to sign up to a internet forum or something: i don't bank on the internet but of course- once again- it really is a practicality thing if you live out in the sticks.

We all have our hang-ups and me... i just threw that phone away ten years ago and have been happy ever since.

Poor wee fella.. can't string a rational sentence together that relates to others. I'll ask you the same as I asked Bobby. To his credit he said NO. YOU just denied the issue.

Do you support coal-fired power stations, all around the world.?  Well, you've already answered that , in place of Bobby.

Do you support Australia exploiting coal as a necessary resource.  Yes you do. You answered that for Bobby too. Lets face it Dullah Jnr, all you have is a big mouth, and no brains, nothing original or substantial to say.  Just CRAP..

Then you throw childish hissy fits trying to make out other posters such as myself are just here rubbishing you because you clearly look stupid and are called on your bullshit.

May be you need a generator?

Title: Re: The only question in town:
Post by Emma Peel on Dec 18th, 2015 at 12:49am
Well yes,, It is definitely a consideration. I have thought about this option long and hard. Have picked the brains of people who know about this stuff (handy blokes), and it would seem a good move.  I was thinking about just getting one to run the water pump,  .. an external plug-in, which would supply water.
Then, the question of powering the fridge arose. Could I get a generator to power the 'fridge'...  on a long lead,  and only switch the lead over to the water pump when i need to use water.

Hmmmm? Still pondering. I have been advised tho, that I'd have to wire up my house differently if I wanted the whole shebang going,  AND, that if I choose to go with a smallish generator, the main concern is that if it doesn't get used, by the time I need it, it may be no use, because, once up, you need to use them regularly. So hmm  yes, still trying to work out best option.

As for the copper network.. these grey boxes leeching the copper are being installed in my general area at the moment. :-?

Well yes,, It is definitely a consideration. I have thought about this option long and hard. Have picked the brains of people who know about this stuff (handy blokes), and it would seem a good move.  I was thinking about just getting one to run the water pump,  .. an external plug-in, which would supply water.
Then, the question of powering the fridge arose. Could I get a generator to power the 'fridge'...  on a long lead,  and only switch the lead over to the water pump when i need to use water.

Hmmmm? Still pondering. I have been advised tho, that I'd have to wire up my house differently if I wanted the whole shebang going,  AND, that if I choose to go with a smallish generator, the main concern is that if it doesn't get used, by the time I need it, it may be no use, because, once up, you need to use them regularly. So hmm  yes, still trying to work out best option.

As for the copper network.. these grey boxes leeching the copper are being installed in my general area at the moment. :-?
They are along roads..  ;D.. can you imagine ?? a drunk driver.. oh oh.. ooops DOWN it goes.

Never even considered the safety hazard side of it  :o :o :o :o  :D

Not funny I suppose: weird car noises and crashes every night these days  ::)

this is true. Accidents do happen.

Let me share with you a thought I wrote down in 2008.....................................................................

"Reflections on Sounds of Screaming Tyres at Dead of Night'

Bravely invincible in
Bright metal Cocoons

Vroom Vroom Vrooooom

Behaving badly like
Hooligans fools Buffoons

Hoons Vroom Vrooooom 

'NO FEAR' stickers go
Hurtling towards Doom

Hoons Vrooooooom Boom

Better to put on the rear window

BE DEAD SOON

:) Mighty big ask .. that, considering we are culturally expected to consume drugs of all descriptions. 

What, are you saying don't take paracetemol, or coffee or tea (ie Caffeine) etc ad nauseum?
Be real Ian.
Never drink a beer or two,  a glass of wine.?

Too bad.


It was a Brain Explosion
Doc.!




here you go


Why don't people whistle anymore?
Is it a loss of some part
Intrinsic to our Core?

Has our Animus changed ever more?
Why don't people whistle anymore?

can't get an answer from the Net.  My area is identified, but that is a big piece of land.

Guess I'll have to find a phone number to call. !!

I also sing along in the stupor market. I dance sometimes too.

Good oh. I get the stupor market.. don't dance in there tho. Not my fave scene.
My dear old departed Mum used to whistle.. I try to remember that..and give loose rein to my urges to inhabit my space with the odd whistle or two.
Better than muttering away to myself about the products available.  ::) I hate Woolworths.

I  notice tho that people just don't do it much anymore.  I mean, when I hear someone whistling a tune, I can't help but listen. It is such a rarity today. People seem to either have plugs in their ears listening to 'stuff' silently, or.. have commercial music blaring away to blot out the day.

That's not a bad set of verse there  ;) ;) ;)

Poignant I think is the word... apart from the death and destruction it's just bloody annoying but obviously these people are empowered by insanely over-powered cars: who needs to do the speeds these cars are capable of? Like cigarettes it's insanity to even consider selling these things legally and likewise the tax payer pays hospital bills for the inevitable.

dunno, but i like this one:

FRANK SINATRA LYRICS
"Everything Happens To Me"

Black cats creep across my path until I'm almost mad
I must have roused the Devil's wrath 'cause all my luck is bad
I make a date for golf and you can bet your life it rains
I try to give a party but the guy upstairs complains
I guess I'll go through life just catchin' colds and missin' trains
Everything happens to me

I never miss a thing, I've had the measles and the mumps
And every time I play an ace, my partner always trumps
I guess I'm just a fool who never looks before he jumps
Everything happens to me

At first my heart thought you could break this jinx for me
That love would turn the trick to end despair

But now I just can't fool this head that thinks for me
So I've mortgaged all my castles in the air

I've telegraphed and phoned, sent an Air Mail Special, too
You answer was "Goodbye", there was even postage due
I fell in love just once and then it had to be with you
Everything happens to me

I've never drawn a sweepstake or a bank night at a show
I thought perhaps this time I'd won but Lady Luck said "No"
And though it breaks my heart I'm not surprised to see you go
Everything happens to me

Everything happens to me

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D  :'(  ;) ;)

yep Life is Tough.

Should post it on the other thread, and someone might provide a clip. Loved ol' blue eyes.. his timing, and phrasing were beyond compare.
