Anyone else catch the story about the..... people?...... who scaled a fence to steal a little penguin from the colony at St Kikds beach, snd then threw it against a wall and kicked it until it died?
Deplorable. I don't get why there are humans who get a thrill out of killing a defenceless animal without good reason (ie removing feral animals, slaughtering for food, etc). I'm not one for corporal punishment, but these scumbags don't deserve any sympathy. They showed no compassion for this poor creature, so they don't deserve any either.

I was thinking a good old fashioned stoning might be more appropriate! But perhaps it's not right of me to mention that here.....

Similar thing happened in WA about 2 years ago from memory, if you come to Perth after our Covid-19 self imposed exile, you must go to Rottnest Island, the quokka walk up to you, but these 2 imbecilic and drunk schooling decided that their accomodatins enclosed low walled garden would be a good place that night to video a quokka, which they did, the video will be online, they used this poor defenceless animal as a soccer ball, laughing all the way through, then stupidly uploaded it online?
Thick as two short planks is an understatement, but no jail just fines, and put down to " youthful exuberance " or something as silly. Should of been birched across the bare back, vinegar poured onto and Ito the wounds, and an audience of laughing hyenas watching on, bastards ![]() |

Lights turn to green (today) and a Ducati directly in front of me stalls or cuts out. The bike started in time and I would make allowances for an Italian bike in wet weather. (So I didn't really hate that.)

I'm feeling a bit nostalgic today, but not in a good way.
I know all man-made machines will eventually become of such little value that they will be seen simply as scrap, but to see a once glorious aircraft that I worked on simply sit in a yard like this and be allowed to rot away is heartbreaking. And even more heartbreaking is knowing that it was destroyed by fire earlier this year. Such a sad end.... ![]() ![]() ![]() And this is the aircraft sitting in the yard prior to the fire.. ![]() What she looked like back in her early days: ![]()

How the hell can a listed company that supposedly helps the needy people, disabled folk who need money, govmint money to have some semblance of a life, be worth$3.3 billion dollars, it's founder West Australian Megan Wynne an Occupational Therapist who owns 34.2% of the company, or $1.1 billon dollars and all funded by Govmint contracts?
They have business in Britain and New Zealand too, the company is APM and is totally reliant on govmint taxpayer funded contracts? How does this happen, how a company listed on the stock exchange via taxpayer funds! It's bloody disgraceful, she states that " she has always been motivated by making a difference to people's lives, rather than financial gain "......bullsh.t, they go on to say that APM takes their services to people wherever they live, whatever their means or circumstances.....and, as a by-product of that we make a good profit! Shame, shame and more shame ![]() Front The West Australian today! |

It really gives me the sh.ts jaydee, just saw the thing on 7 news, with her other co-conspirirors, and what I hated was they talked about how many employees they started with (4) and how many thousands they employ now!....
Why don't these heads of charities show some charity, I feel like running these muppets down if I see em on the street, but she and her cronies are no doubt chauffeured around in limo's, and they showed a young girl with Downes syndrome as " one of the people we help " give me a break from all this greed in the World, that company is owned by you an me, our taxes, where's our shares?? |

Pilot on that trip was my neighbour, and I was in the jump seat (ie a seat between the two pilot seats) as we arrived back into town. To let his wife know he was home and to come out to the base to pick him up, we flew a low level pass over the town, including over our houses. Was very cool. Anyway, enough reminiscing from me. Probs boring the crap out of everyone ![]()

You don’t want to hear me on a violin, someone would be calling the RSPCA about the apparent sounds of a cat being tortured.

Ripped off the mudflap on my trailer, replaced it, ripped off the new one 24 hours later, replaced it, now 3 days later I've ripped the mudflap off the other side. WHAT A STUPID DESIGN. Can't reverse over anything other than perfectly flat ground without ripping them off. What's the law regarding required length? Maybe being shorter might help.

I used to bend my guards and not use rubber mud/stone flaps or guards, I made my last bend 90° to the trailer chassis, so the last bend was vertical or perpendicular, the page I copied was fton RTA NSW 1999, the rules of construction have not changed, if you go into any RTA you can get it free, they print the whole book for you, about 50 pages, same rules Australia wide.

all these regs get thrown out with the bathwater next July....or so Iam told. supposedly no more hand made trailers, all will need to ne manufactured by registered qualified welder. The trick is to buy old trailers now and just rebuild them and keep VIN & rego plates.
