Where all the chunks were in my "chunky beef and mushroom" tin of soup for lunch


Wait until you spew it back up. They will be there (along with the carrot you ate a year ago)

Paying for a 4 hour drinks package, having a selection of every Pirate Life Beer and a bloke here is drinking VB. WTF?

Nothing wrong with that, stick to what you like.

How much would that cost? 20 years from now there's 5 sets along there.

As per usual, I don't know where I should stick this.

Why is there so much conflicting news in regards to the Ukraine/Russian war?

Sky news always seems to showing that Ukraine are holding up well with strong resistance but others state otherwise.

I do check daily on what happened overnight etc. I would just like to know the actual events and not have to change platforms to make me feel better or more hopeful.

Probably not a lot in the scheme of things, like the Port Wakefield bypass, duplication of the highway all the way to Port Augusta. Apparently there's going to be more than 10,000 houses in that new area add $1000 to every parcel of land, there's 10 million. It's an embarrassment to our state that you can get on the north/south motorway at Thebarton (will be from McLaren Vale in 20 years) go all that way & then have to stop at the lights in a 110kmh zone. Feel for the road train drivers.
You can drive from Port Melbourne to Newcastle without traffic lights now, probably soon get to the Sunshine Coast from Melbourne without traffic lights.

After seeing the waste of time at Port Wakefield I'd put the cost at 800 million to fix the new traffic light bs

One thing that does my bonce in at work is people who waste the chux wipe thingy's.

We have a dispenser next to the sink, they will tear of a full cloth to clean out their glass after it's only used water, then they'll throw the cloth in the bin, countless people do it.

It's the convenience and a throw away society.

Chux or paper towels?, that's some gourmet shit if it's Chux. Got a provision for a dishwasher? Problem with them though is some saftey wanker will raise an incident report if a fork is facing upwards.

A previous employee went out in a blaze of glory and sent Safe Work SA to inspect the factory, amongst other things the lady inspector said our microwave was too close to the sink in the factory kitchenette, gave us an "improvement notice" on it. They don't tell you what to do, they just tell you to improve it. So I made a sign that said "Do not fill sink with water, running microwave and your head all at once" with some pictograms below. Odd she didn't think it was particularly humorous when I explained I'd improved the situation.

Chux. We have a dishwasher but that only gets turned on by the cleaner around 5pm, most like to wash their own stuff and put it back in their office.

Ha, the old fork debate, I sort of can relate, I went to put my dishes in the dishwasher one Friday arvo after a work supplied lunch and copped a steak knife straight up the thumb nail as some dopey idiot had it facing up, no shit man, we have people put cups in the dishwasher the wrong way up.

What did you expect that was a low level administrative control as opposed to an engineering control of relocating the microwave.

I mean you could have eliminated the hazard by cutting the water off...

Pfft safety, C'mon Boon!
Let that be a lesson to you Port, no one beats the Bays five times in a row in a GF and gets away with it!!!
