For sure, trying to make the most of 6 months off next year with the Bibb end-to-end walk and then back to Perth, dog in a caravan and then drive around for months. Counting down the days 'til it starts and it already feels like it's dragging!

Long service leave?

My daughter gets her first LSL stint next year and is planning a drive across the top end next year as she’ll also have maternity leave

He's getting another new boat? What's wrong with his current one?!!

He must have them on exchange from Genesis craft or something. Similar to how SeaDoo give Nic Nat a jet ski but on a large scale. I'm not sure he actually hands over money for the boats now I've seen him churn through a few.

Yeah LSL. Taking the dog is going to make it more complicated but I'll miss him enough after the walk haha.

It's called 'dogging' I think

This is something I’d love to do if I ever had the time/money to commit to

Same. Will need to save it till retirement I'd say. Only a decade and a half away...

Anyone watched Welcome to Wrexham? Watched a few episodes last night, seems worth persisting with

Has anyone done a big lap of Australia before? Trying to hit up different people for advice if so.

Did all but WA 25 years ago. Work had already taken family and I around WA.

Wife and I and two kids. 8 & 4 at at the time.

My like for Rob makes me want to watch it, then my dislike for Ryan turns me off.

I don't hate him or anything - I just find him a bit tiresome.

So far Rob is in it a lot more than Ryan if that helps.

Liked it, shades of 'Sunderland till I Die' and a good behind the scenes of how a small club runs

It’s fine, it’s very baby’s first soccer documentary. Much more casual than most of the other big ones, of which there’s been heaps lately,

Still enjoyed it but it’s very much geared towards a new audience (here is what a red card does, here is what promotion means).

Favourite part was some people getting subtitles and others not, even when they’re both speaking English to eachother. Imagine being the bloke watching his big moment in the documentary, and your mate is apparently clear but you’re a confusing mess of a speaker.

Also Shaun Harvey has bankrupted more clubs than I could name, and his portrayal as a steady hand to guide them made me gag.

As always it’s the local characters that make it worth watching.

Why are tradies in Aus so utterly hopeless? So sick of dealing with them when they cant organise themselves.

So its similar to Drive to Survive then ?

Calculated gamble to maximise income. Say yes to all jobs: if you get there then you aren't left with unpaid time in your day, if you're too busy to get there when you're supposed to you're still earning money from the job you're on. Reputational loss is low because so many tradies do it (no one getting an edge over you) and there's more work than tradies.

 

[DanWCE]

there's more work than tradies.

This is the key part. Plus they are qualified in carrying out the works, not in estimating, scheduling or procurement. They try to wear all those hats whilst also invoicing, handling accounts, BAS, marketing..

Its just annoying that its an accepted thing here. Like if a tradie is decent and on time its something out of the ordinary. I'm considering pulling the work from a bloke just to piss him off but its likely he has so much work he wouldn't care anyway.

I love it when you're the first job of the day and they're still late.

'Disgusted in myself': Former NRL star Brett Finch sent child sex abuse messages in bid for drugs, court told

The 41-year-old appeared before the NSW District Court, trying to avoid a jail sentence after using chat service Fast Meet to share fantasies about young boys.

www.abc.net.au

The ex-NRL player said he sent the messages because he thought he could connect with "hypersexualised" users that could help him get drugs.

"If the message was twisted and I got a reply, then they would more likely be under the influence of drugs and more hope of me obtaining cocaine," he said.

Dude, no one is going to believe that it's so hard for an ex-NRL player to get cocaine that they have to send child pr0n. You might as well claim it was aliens.
