I like Apricots

I just had cause to be down in Boganville setting up. Outside...on tarmac, near the beach...I was delightfully informed that at around 4pm it was registering over 50....thats not a typo. it cant change quick enough

which one ?

Last i heard Portsea and Sorrento were trying to distance themselves further by establishing a Principality !!

and then we come back to utilities where less is more. you use less, you pay more

The idea of subdividing the transit system under the notion of "competition " was the start of the rot. How can there be competition with different elements servicing different destinations etc. It was flawed as a concept and buggered in delivery. Yes that was a Govt decision... a bad one. Myki , also a Govt introduction. The authority, any authority that actual RAN a system didn't want it as was full of problems from the get go..it too a govt decision not an PT one, they just have to wear it. these things occurred as result of 'agendas' not genuine progress

thing is DC...PT is and ought to be a Public Service provision. By all means run it properly but that often is at loggerheads with pennypinching and eyes only on the bottom line. To have allowed two incompatible train designs loose on once homogeneous network was ridiculous. Had there been ONE authority overseeing this wed have saved millions...Remember.. the franchise didnt buy the trains..just ordered them WE paid for them. One lot the crappy french Xtraps cant even run safely at theposted speeds allowed. Brilliant !! btw I have much respect for Ingénierie Française, but those xtraps were from the bargain basement what other city allows more than one body to oversee one element of infrastructure ?? f'n stupidity to the x !!

tell ya one thing...they never would have ordered trains that didnt work all over the whole system and thus requirer 100's of millions spent on resignalling and associated things. !! requires extra driver training and accreditations etc. be funny...if it wasnt

Public transport and utilities... we got it all slightly wrong

Things are fine...the Beach relatively uncrowded Im not surprised you have troubles crossing the border.. As a previous inhabitant of Boganville I sense they feel much maligned. I mean not all wear Moccies......not since Crocs came on the scene and some aspirants even sport Haviannas knock offs....true...lol If you have continued difficulties escaping cast a message in a bottle, im sure the tide will bring it up our way. Im in Franga friday, maybe I can arrange for your freedom !!

you believe OD....deep down....we know !!!

bring it OORAH !!! go Dees

a late brekkie ( better get to burning it off now..lol )

yeah so did one of our daughters... still nothing new there...Am sure many a parent here will understand !!

gold.....or rather banana yellow !! pfft !!

you didnt go to the theatre at all did you....... or DID you ??

not the only one

Its that time of year.....snuck up on me...bugger, told myself Id be wary, be vigilant. Pretty well caught me with my trousers down...again !! speaking of which... Merry Christmas all

Frog...most of my inlaws and my Wife are maggies. They've pitied me . Im getting as many bets in with charitable point lines as I can before they realise the folly In past years its been a wishful hope. In 2014 its game on. Enjoy your holiday.

boxing day test a dead rubber......very strange....but I like it

why...must be so hard keeping tabs on it all, must be very easy to mislay a million here, couple there....whole truckloads somewhere else..

No, still pretty quiet on the footy front !!

as you know I have family members who are Messy ones . This is not about them, this is about a club that seems to think it can operate beyond the fence and with utter contempt for all else ( arguably not alone..carlscum fit that description also )

Actually OLD...quite the reverse.. we are getting on with or club and such. Messendon are in a holding pattern ( they just dont know or accept it yet ) and will land heavy. Call me whatever but im enjoying their misery
