The Venting Thread December 25, 2013, 09:36:26 pm Was going through the old boards before and had a good read of the old venting thread. Very amusing reading. Same deal in this thread, but I suppose without the fowl language. Let the venting begin. Quote Selected

Re: The Venting Thread Reply #2 – December 25, 2013, 09:42:46 pm Well Gozza, it is hard to vent at this point in time. I have had Christmas dinner and my stomach is full of food. my fridge is full of grog and ready to be consumed. My wife and kids gave me 50 bucks for a Christmas present too. First time in years to be honest. I'm as happy as a pig in crap at the moment and can't vent before I get uspet with something. I do however need to write a book though. One man living with three females and only one bathroom and one toilet will get me going eventually. Quote Selected

Re: The Venting Thread Reply #7 – December 26, 2013, 07:11:43 pm Just got back from a terrific, though short break, up north. As part of the trip we stopped in to catch up with relos and friends in Canberra ...Canberra is a cemetry with street lights. The place is simply crape... it should be declared an abject failure and closed (somewhat like Adelaide). Quote Selected

Re: The Venting Thread Reply #11 – December 26, 2013, 09:30:58 pm I'd love to share what the problem is with both my mates (they are brothers) who live in Canberra. They both find it hilarious too, especially when they're out in public. Absolute pissers. Don't want to offend anyone though so I won't go into details. Quote Selected

Don't put sh*t on my town dude... Chisolm and Griffith.Sorry Spanner for the excessive explanation to follow!Your town, firstly, suffered due to the Conservatives f*cking up what (Walter) Burley Griffin originally designed. He was a genius and your town could have been magnificent if his original design was adhered to... ...but then (apart from the conservative administrators and their brethren - the unimaginative pencil necks) there was another problem - where to put our nation's capital as argued by Sydney and Melbourne (NSW state gov won over Vic big time).Further embarrassing the 'location' decision was that 'Canberra' (as a place for our nation's capital) was also based on military paranoia??!! ---'Don't be on the coast as the enemy can get you there'. Well, I gotta say that the result of the location is extremely effective in terms of deterring any enemy. Imagine getting a diplomatic posting to Australia and ending up in Canberra!!!!Sorry Spanner, but although the geographical location of your home sucks... many of the folks there are fabulous as evidenced by your good self and my 3 Aunts, 1 Uncle, their progeny and many dear friends who love the Mighty BlueBaggers.

Re: The Venting Thread Reply #13 – December 27, 2013, 12:34:10 am Baggers please don't kick an man in the balls to explain why you don't like where he lives. Just say "Ooops sorry mate I was just kidding". Our home is our castle and we live where we live. Its not always by choice and sometimes its financially bound, or being close to family, work or just because we see some things others don't. We live where we live because we just feel free and safe to be there. Not having a go at you either there buddy. I'm sure you mean what you say in the best way. Cheers guys. Quote Selected
Re: The Venting Thread Reply #14 – December 27, 2013, 12:47:15 am I love a lot about Canberra including the National Gallery, the Military museum, great restaurants and of course the political sphere.I don't love the road layout, Fyshwick, the weather and the fact that on my last visit 4 years ago I ruptured my lower back on the last day and a local GP gave me anti inflammatories and sent me on my way. At Albury Base hospital I was given Endone and sent away. My local GP gave me morphine and sent me for an MRI, I was then transferred to the Epworth where the surgeon who would ultimately do a miraculous job on "the worst prolapse he had seen" took care of business.I am in no hurry to return to Canberra.
