The Thread about Nothing....



Mais oui! Work has been frantic. Two weeks break now. Our youngest is coming up to Scone from Melbourne ... haven't seen her for the longest time. She wasn't from one of the 'hot spots' but had a COVID test as a precautionary measure anyway. Negative.

Looking forward to getting some projects done over the break. And off on a short boyzown offroad outing up through the Oxley Wild Rivers area. If it's too cold (we're on motorbikes), we'll just keep heading east to the coast.

Rib/lung comfort levels are pretty good now thanks Paulie. Coughing and sneezing are now in the not to be feared category. I can sleep alright, but still mostly on my back, so snoring like an absolute ******* in the spare room to avoid getting stabbed by my lovely missus.

I picked the totally wrong time to be a dumb **** and crash though, and have some brownie point work ahead of me. We were two weeks out from having a new kitchen installed and I had a bit of painting and demo work to do. The painting wasn't too bad, split that with Mrs. V, but had to rope in some mates to pull the last two cupboards and bit of bench out for me. Luckily they're the tradie mates who were going to be disconnecting the plumbing and electrics under the bench so the invoice plus shout just got a bit more expensive.

One day I was driving down the 1:20 (Mountain Highway in the Dandenongs, Victoria) when some lunatic comes round a corner in the wet on the wrong side of the road. Head on. The impact was savage enough to fracture my sternum when I was accelerated into my seat belt (thank god for the airbag though... would have been much worse without it). It took a full 18 months before I could sleep on my side again. And yeah... snore I did. It was probably worse for My Bride than it was for me.

Any fracture on the lung noodles or where they connect hurts. A lot. For way too long.

Lucky you have some tradie mates. I have one mate who's a tradie. A plumber in Sydney. He's useless though.

I‘ve heard that.

My best mate has two trades. He’s an armature winder and a jeweller. I can’t think of two more useless trades to address any needs I may have, the selfish ****.

My daughter's a car mechanic, which is really handy. Not. I fix her car and her sister's. Though, I can understand that -. cobbler's children and shoes...

She's now doing an apprenticeship as an aircraft maintenance engineer. I bet she still won't help when I get my flying car.

Watching last years tour highlights, the stage Wout Van Aert won.

it was just as frustrating watching Matthews botch that sprint as it was last year.

See lama, I told you Armytank is a moll. Look at her molestering innocent penguins. Cow. I’m calling the cops. Also, photoshop much? She’s way fatter than that and normally wears granny undies.

Help me out Tanners.

Do whales have boogers, and if so how do they pick their blowhole?
None of you useless bastards were able to help me with this.

Try this one. In the olden days, you’d go up the bush and find porno mags all the time. I get you don’t see them anymore because of inter webs, but in the old days it was like they grew on special **** mag trees. WTF was that all about? Homeless perverts living up the bush?

Whales enjoy a symbiotic relationship with the Handfish. The whales loiter in a spot known to be inhabited by Handfish and the fish goes to town on the whale's nasal passages. The fish gets a meal and the whale gets to breathe properly afterwards.

Fun fact. The Handfish is where fish fingers come from.

Can't help you there.
