Was that for his insulation scheme? 

That's it, Et, blame Garrett for the greed and ineptitude of Tradies who rather than training their staff were just happy to make a quick buck.

lol another member of the offended brigade, charging in on his high horse. 

Grow up sunshine. Its a big, mean old world out there. Best you stay in your safe space with the curtains drawn.

Actually, if you read my post/s, you'll see that nowhere did I say that I was offended ... but grasping the difference between "I'm offended" and "I can see how others could be offended" would require perspective-taking and nuance, which in your case.

As for someone using a childish term like "lol" in the same post as "grow up" ...

Can Demonland please run a poll to decide whether a day where the temperature is forecast to start with a minimum of 11 degrees and rise to a maximum of 27 should be described as "hot"?

I don't think it should but it seems others do. Either that, or people keep believing that it will be hot just because there's an assumption that it's always hot in the NT (which is true for the Top End but not Alice Springs).

Spot on. I spoke briefly to a player this week who said the boys like to play there and the heat and humidity is not a factor and its at night anyway. They fly out Sat morning.

if there is anyone who hasn't been offended yet, please post now so we can rectify the situation

there is plenty for everyone

I am offènded that there is someone who would take umbrage at a perfectly appropriate response to a post whose author intended no more than a light hearted reference to a former singer and the lyrics  of one of his songs. 

For goodness sake, if you don't get the reference, don't make any comment at all. A lot of us found it pretty clever and funny. You throw a hissy fit over nothing and you just sound like a goose. 

Here endeth the lesson.

Funny how people are offended that someone got offended, irony much? should probably thank the offended person for giving them an excuse to happily release the diatribe on "lefties"

Last year was a day game and the year before that.

 

I think the Darwin game is a night game

Garrett was the one who signed off on allowing people to install the insulation without qualifications. Have a look at the Royal Commissions report into the scheme Diets.

So because PG signed off on it a Tradie who doesn't train his staff properly is totally innocent because PG signed off. Great, Pg signed off, I don't care if you die, boy, I'm not going to train you, you're on your own kid, if you die, it's PG's fault. I like your logic, ET, as in DON'T...

Yeah rubbish. 

You are perpetually offended. If its not something directly aimed at you, you take offence vicariously. I have seen you do it many times.

Again, grow up. Better still put me on ignore so you dont keep getting offended. (Or schooled).

What are you on about?

Look I get it, you feel a bit silly for not getting the Garrett/Garlett spelling error where instead you decided to launch into a faux-offended tirade. All good, I think we’re all over it. No offence taken.

It’s ridiculous. Couple of people made a mistake, a bloke apologises because he’s a nice bloke, then people jump up and down because people got offended. 

It was a bunch of nothing, and people overreacting like everyone does to everything these days. 

People need to chill.
