I'm a member of Londonderry but I dont know how long for I'm very much over the bull
if your in a good brigade its the most rewarding experance you can have if theres a dick head trying to make his presence felt its the complete oposite

bit off topic, but how easy is it (ie what do you have to do) to become a volunteer fire fighter??
each summer i feel guilty when i hear about bush fires, just cos (whilst im not that fit) i know i could lend a hand rather than sitting on my ar5e watching it happen on TV.

Yeah I'm a volunteer rural firey just west of Rockhampton, it's not too bad despite the lack of numbers, plus the Triton we have as our unit is a total POS. Bring on the upgrade, please!

Better not tell the full story and embarass young Dano too much after his first time driving the bosses vehicle, but if I did it would involve words like kerb, tie-rod end, broken, tow truck, wheel alignment, that sort of stuff.

Since my esteemed friend here has already given you the premise of what happened, I will tell you the TRUE and PROPER story. What happened was I had the vehicle parked on the grassed area just off my drive way. Long story short when I was taking the vehicle back to Mr Group Officer I drove forward off the gutter with the wheels locked to the right, wrong angle and it broke the tie-rod thingy. It was already stuffed long before I got to it, I just finished the job. hahaha |
