Announced yesterday (in NZ), no waitangi day rubbish at Waitangi next year (cancelled due covid). Is just an event for mud slinging at politicians, so called "indigenous" rent-a-mob whining and violence.

There is no Waitangi Day celebrations in 2022 at Northlands, that's according to PM Ardern.
Apparently Northlands has one of the lowest rates of vaccination against Covid-19

Revenge is sweet, or so they say, but who are "they"???
"They" are the people/s who gave me a name and address of a certain wardsman at SCGH who on the second day of my lung removal recognised me?.....I dident recognise him, as a person from my past, my last 10 years in WA past.
He proceeded to punch me in the chest with an open hand, the heel to be precise, right on my surgical wound site, nothing was done about it, and there were 2 witnesses?....nothing, no investigation, nothing, so all that trouble the surgeon took to remove my lung contained in a sealed bag was wasted!.....sealed to try stop the spread of cancer molecules!

May God have Mercy on his soul, if he has one, and to his RN girlfriend who disconnected my buzzer, well I'm coming after both of you, or someone is coming on my behalf you maggot

What the...?
What a dog trick.
I hope you made a formal complaint to the hospital.
You could also make an assault complaint to Police.

Nothing was done, zilch, physically it's an impossibility for me to sort out, I like and have always looked after my own business, but this was nasty, I couldn't move, I had to hold the drain tube with my right hand, my left is a "claw hand"..hospital lost my complaint, police said its hospitals business, hospital said they found no evidence of an assault, so there ya go, and nobody knew I was there, except my neighbours, and AFF, but I hung with some ******** people in my life and how they knew I was in there has got me stuffed, got told Friday and operated on Monday, just makes you wonder who has access to your personal information, but I recognised him from my past, regional town drug dealer, I complained to local ranger about too many used "picks" syringes at a certain place, a very public place during the day, but don't walk there at night!

It's not nice stepping on used needles, very sad really, but this dog now has his car number plate on a certain website in NSW, and on either side of the number plate are 2 magnetic anti Islamic stickers, put on for the photo and then removed, oh well ya get back what you give out!

But the hospital failed me badly, I walked out after 2 and a half days, for my own safety of course, but their head of security an ex WA detective, ex Federal Police, ex NSW detective would not let me see the photo id's of the hospital wardsmen?....got told I was given too much Ketamine and was hallucinating, lol, 2 doctors walked in while it was happening and they stopped immediately, the doctors did not come forward to back it up, I would of been a goner if they dident turn up!

This may sound dumb, stupid or other words to that effect. But today i went to the post oriface to pick up a package and signed for it.
So nothing amazing.
So in 2017 i lost function to my left arm, and im left handed. So my once it worked again my brain needed to effectively retrain said arm to do what it was told.
So for the best part she's apples. However, me being the pig headed fool i am, handwriting, that was instantly too hard and if a child can do it.... so i gave up.
I pulled my head out of my posterior and yeah, i write like a 5 year old, but now my signature just that, not as easy as forging a squigly X.
And i checked my demerit points, the 1 i lost has gone away. It was 3 years ago so eh.

Like many on here, I used to watch Bathurst every year with my Dad. Even though he had owned holdens before I was born, as a kid, Fords was all we had as a family: from a TE Cortina through to an EF Futura. (After the EF, he moved on to a Nissan X-trail, which was the last car he owned before he passed). This is where my love of Fords developed.

I've just realised that, as a result of the rescheduled dates for Bathurst this year, I'll be able to sit in front of the TV watching the race on the anniversary of his birthday tomorrow. The anniversary of his passing is on Tuesday so the delayed bathurst this year will feel even more special this year.

Mate, so as a youngter i was ambidextrous. But i chose the left hand.
I, well got into trouble but thats not really the correct term, but in year 2 my teacher called my mum asking whats going on here? I wrote a story as was asked but i did it backwards. I picked up the pencil with my right hand and non thinkingly did the whole trailing hand thing and wrote right to left. So backwards. So it wasnt calling me a retard, technically i am, but it was more of a how in the why kind of question.
My teacher, she didnt fault my writing or whatnot, it was just backwards and i in no way case or form can replicate that these days. So the letters were forwards, just the words were right to left, so backwards was sdrawkcab.

You are talking about 3 different conditions.cerebral palsy is not a term used as retarded.It is a physical condition.I know a couple of people with CP and they are as mentally capable as any fully able bodied person,but have a physical impairment which they are quite capable of coping with.

Two points.
1. Dash cam footage please.
2. Did you end up perfectly aligned with the tipping bays or exit road?

The deed was down at the green-waste area on my way out so no alignment needed.

One of my brothers is the same can write with both hands, forward straight or backwards and you will never pick the difference when he changes hand.
He is also very skilled in drawing comic characters, pictures etc and yet the dope went onto being a printer by trade.

Waste of talent imo.

I dont use cans of coke, the chickens get half cans of beer up em. And no its not a waste of perfectly good beer when they turn out as well as they do. However, i wouldnt recomend wasting a chicken by using your standard issue vb, new or whatever. Its got to be one of the ****er beers with the weird flavour undertones.

Not waking up the Monday after Bathurst feeling seedy.


How strange ... not a drop consumed and no items thrown at the tv, or burnouts performed in the culdesac afterwards.


I must be getting old.
