Water mining for fu**en bottled water.

Remember back in the day when we had industry, there was a process called wool scouring that used imperial shit-tons of boiling water and steam to clean and sterilise raw wool before it was made into yarn that your nana knitted into cardigans and footy jumpers. New Zealand, being land of sheep, had a few woolscours built next to rivers because basically the whole river went into a pipe and through the scour and the dirty warm water went through another pipe back to the river. Over time the factories closed and languished and became centres for unemployed youth to smash windows and graffito any non-smashed surfaces.

Along come the Chinese and make stupidly low offers for the still-existing-on-paper woolscour companies, which are accepted with alacrity because if anyone expresses an interest in 100-year-old grotty concrete, rusty corrugated iron and wasteland, well good luck to them. Of course the defunct companies are still in possession of the right to take imperial shit-tons of water and there's nothing that says it has to be used for wool scouring and nothing that says it has to be returned to the river after you've finished with it. Hello billions of litres of bottled water for China that literally doesn't cost a cent. :thumbsu:
 
Missus & I got an invite to her boss's wedding. She has worked there all of 3 months so not sure why you would invite an employee and her partner to the wedding. But what shits me, I wont know 1 single person there apart from my missus (haven't met her boss or his fiancé or any of her workmates). Going to be a shithouse day
 
i have attended a wedding where i only knew the groom and one other person.

I had a really fun night chatting to the ppl on my table.

I went to a Christmas party for my missus old work and I knew nobody going there, ended up being alright (after everyone had a few drinks) but that was a more casual affair. CBF'd small chat at a wedding. Would have liked one or two familiar faces you can fall back to if things get quiet/awkward etc

Just get shitfaced and obnoxious and introduce yourself to everyone as the husband of your wife's biggest workplace rival.

could your mrs politely decline (say you've got something on then). Even if the wedding is in 12 months time.

What kind of "Crowd" will it be?

The wedding i described above would have been all teachers at my table. ie. his workmates (i was from his old school)

On the flip side i have attended my cousins 30th birthday- all attended by other dentists. Yeah big flipping laugh that night was... jc

She works at a café/burger joint. I think she said only a few from work are going and doesn't know much about her boss, so no idea on the crowd. Has a foreign surname (cant remember, bit woggish (if you can say that anymore)) so hoping for a decent feed at least.

I'm not an Italian/Greek/Lebanese Australian but I'm outraged on their behalf.
