  1. guess what happened to us...on Xmas Eve!

    in The Off Topic Fishroom

    Posted

    haven't found the bike but the bike is about 10yrs old now so it wouldn't be worth $2000? Dave told his dad and we're now saving up to buy him a new bike..and also contemplating about installing some security cams around the driveway and house

    Sorry, confusion I think.

    Most Insurers will pay UP TO $2,000 for property not belonging to you but which you were responsible for.

    A good deterent as well are plenty of sensor lights and those fake cameras :wink:

    We're on the look out on TM for it and I doubt the insurance would cover it since we borrowed it, we'll just have to save up and buy Dave's dad another bike :roll: ...hard lesson learnt!

    Hey guys,

    Shame about the bike but if you have standard householders contents insurance, there is usually an extension in your wording known as "PCCC" or property under your care custody or control. Different Insurance companies have different limits, usually around the $2000 mark

    Its not too late to claim if you havent already.

    Hope that helps

    And they just wade right on in and eat till they just about burst. The ones they cant jam down their horrid gobs, they speared and tossed them up on to the bank.

    but no luck involved when the ones he works are declawed

    Has he really had them declawed? That is sick :evil:

    I remember as a teenager being horrified when I read that in China you could have your photo taken with a live tiger and it was safe because it had had its claws removed and some tendons and ligaments cut to remove any chance of it causing injury.

    I cant believe we have some wacko over here doing it.

  11. New Puppy!!

    in The Off Topic Fishroom

    Posted

    I'm torn now, cos I really liked the chocolate coloured boy.. but didn't want a boy. What really guts me though is when the neighbour came over with the two boys she says "oh these two will be going to puppy heaven". Because apparently she can't find anyone else who wants them. I must have looked shocked because she backtracked and said "nah I wouldn't do that". I'm not convinced.. :(

    Anyone else want a puppy??

    The best thing you could do for your new puppy is to get a calender and as soon as 6 months is up, get it fixed. Perhaps you should talk to your vet and see if they would provide a discount to get Bob done at the same time.

    There are way too many unwanted puppies and dogs at the local shelters without adding to them :cry:

    im going to ring them tomorrow bout it im not to worryed bout the tank its the fish we lost an the price to replace both cameras an laptop

    Should be covered under the Consumers Guarantee Act. The product you purchased has not fulfilled the purpose it was bought for..... Containing water!

    I dont think the Act covers consequential damages though. Surely HFF will have some form of Liability Insurance though.

    Good luck

    The boss wondered why one of his most valued employees was absent but had not phoned in sick one day. Needing to have an urgent problem with one of the main computers resolved, he dialled the employee's home phone number and was greeted with a child's whisper. ' Hello ? '

    'Is your daddy home?' he asked.

    ' Yes ,' whispered the small voice...

    May I talk with him?'

    The child whispered, ' No '

    Surprised and wanting to talk with an adult, the boss asked, 'Is your Mummy there?' ' Yes '

    'May I talk with her?' Again the small voice whispered, ' No '

    Hoping there was somebody with whom he could leave a message, the boss asked, 'Is anybody else there?'

    ' Yes , ' whispered the child, ' a policeman . '

    Wondering what a cop would be doing at his employee's home, the boss asked, 'May I speak with the policeman?'

    ' No, he's busy , ' whispered the child.

    'Busy doing what?'

    ' Talking to Daddy and Mummy and the Fireman , ' came the whispered answer.

    Growing more worried as he heard a loud noise in the background through the earpiece on the phone, the boss asked, 'What is that noise?'

    ' A helicopter ' answered the whispering voice.

    'What is going on there?' demanded the boss, now truly apprehensive. Again, whispering, the child answered,

    ' The search team just landed a helicopter '

    Alarmed, concerned and a little frustrated the boss asked, 'What are they searching for?'

    Still whispering, the young voice replied with a muffled giggle...

    ' ME . '

    my sister is running an FX5 on her 8.5ft and it does a fantastic job, crystal clear water and only gets cleaned when the flow starts to slow (which is not very often)

    The tetras love playing in the flow.

  20. The meaning of true friendship

    in Fun

    'True' Friendship...

    Are you tired of those sissy 'friendship' poems that always sound good, but never actually come close to reality? Well, here is a series of promises that actually speak of true friendship. You will see no cutesy little smiley faces on this card- Just the stone cold truth of our great friendship.

    1. When you are sad -- I will help you get drunk and plot revenge against the sorry sod who made you sad.

    2. When you are blue -- I will try to dislodge whatever is choking you.

    3. When you smile -- I will know you are plotting something that I want to be involved in.

    4. When you are scared -- I will rag on you about it every chance I get.

    5. When you are worried -- I will tell you horrible stories about how much Worse it could be until you quit whining.

    6. When you are confused -- I will use little, tiny words.

    7. When you are sick -- Stay the heck away from me until you are well again. I don't want whatever you have.

    8. When you fall -- I will probably point and laugh at your clumsy behind.

    9. This is my oath.... I pledge it to the end 'Why?' you may ask; 'because you are my friend'.

    Friendship is like peeing your pants, everyone can see it, but only you can feel it's true warmth. :o

    A good friend will bail you out of jail........

    A great friend will be in the cell next to you saying "man we screwed up but god that was fun!"

    Remember: A friend will help you move. A really good friend will help you move a body. Let me know if I ever need to bring a shovel...

    :roll:

    What is a ute :oops:

    Caper

    It is a utility vehicle. A vehicle that is sometimes four wheel drive that has a flat deck or tray on the back. Sometimes they can have a canopy attached.

    Usually found on farms or commercial type operations and used predominantly as a workhorse type vehicle. Can be unsafe as they are designed to carry loads and without loads, the back end of the vehicle can lose traction.
