i think i would have told them where to go also bush ,
plus i would have told them if the clown wants that to happen get off his arse and carry the bottle himself

i do refills at bundy hot gas (been with them for 30 years)
you carry the bottle about 15 yards from the car park to a rubber mat, drop it there with your name on it and the staff pick it up and bring it back full

i am 100% sure if a person with mobility issues, patricia would very quickly get staff to do the heavy lifting from the car and back for you

as i have a cash account with them for my mig gas ,oxcy and large bottles for the gas forge
as a account holder i get all 8.5kg bottles filled for $22.00 any day of the week (sometimes if patricia is in a good mood $20.00)

i think they do a saturday special for $24.00 for non account holders
i can not get the acetylene there as the company will not let them sell it
i own all my bottles so no rent

Has anyone gone to BCF for as gas bottle re-fill lately.
Today i was there and placed the 8.5 kg bottle on the weigh table at the outdoor fill station.
Walked into the shop to pay prior as usual.
The attendant there says that i have to bring the bottle inside so he can read the expiry date.
I said well why can`t you read it out side.
He says no i can`t there is no camera out there.
`i` said, ``what you expect everyone now to carry these bottles from way over in the car park and bring them into the shop.
`i` said , ``How ridiculous is that,`` ``there`s no common sense here is there.``
i then ask if he was the manager ``Yes`` he said.
Well i said this is a lot of BS you can go and get F*****.
And Yes there was an audience present.

These 8.5 kg bottles is gas weight the bottles are about 15kg empty stand alone.
There are many folk with leg & hip hindering issues and carry a lot less muscle than i.
The stupidity of these Company Managers and alike these days that enforce these endless BS Rules.
It`s not a good time of year to piss people off.:mad:

So Big Bad Bush...are you now band from gas bottle refilling at BCF, nursing a black eye and eating cold cornflakes rather than a BBQ'ed steak or, just embarrassed about your childish lack or control over your emotions, inability to understand reason and, an apparent sense of entitlement to treat others in an intimidating and disrespectful manner? Maybe use your words like a reasonable adult and ask the manager for a hand rather than behaving aggressively? "It's not a good time of year to piss people off", you say? The irony, your ignorance and evidently, your over inflated sense of entitlement displayed for all readers in your 'whinge' is astounding. You should have noticed by now, people aren't posting any support for your boastful story of bullying behaviour.

In the Managers case he needed to be told.
In your case i would not waste my breath.
 
From my experience, BCF follow very strict guidelines with all aspects of refilling LPG cylinders. eg:
- They won't do a refill during bad weather, in case of lightning.
- They will only do a 'while you wait' refill, so that the full bottle is immediately removed from their premises.
- They won't assist with loading the full bottle into a vehicle, with their website explicitly stating, "Bring a friend to help lift your gas bottle into your car. Our team are prohibited by legislation from loading filled gas bottles into customer vehicles."

As an older person, I find todays TV programs after 8 pm quite disgusting with the language used on a very regular basis. My wife said that there was a new show on Paramount called Lioness that looked interesting as the storyline went and because Nichol Kidman was in it. Well, it was about a minute in and the flurry of F this and that was consuming the amount of screentime. So a while later I saw a program will Billy Bob Thornton on and again I thought I would have a look. Same thing there, swearing at full steam. ABC, SBS, all of them have had what appears to be a regulation change for the worse,IMHO. If this is the communication progress then heck knows where we will be in the future. Rant over and now back to a good book. Rant Over.

Whatever happened to the beauty of language as an art form?
This video is of Stephen Fry reading a letter from Nick Cave to a fan who had used AI to compose a song in Nicks own style.
Beware the F word is used just once (for effect).
 
My dear old dad instilled in me from an early age; Son you do not need to swear when communicating.
In the 47 years I was around him before he passed, not once did I hear him utter a four letter word. For that matter neither did my mother.
As mentioned, foul language is the ugly norm now. What does it achieve?
 
When corporeal punishment in Australian schools went out the door a new breed of were born.

The F ing one is allowed in front of a Magistrate these days as long as it is used as a doing word .
If it was being used as a Distributed Noun directed at someone you will be reprimanded.
If you use the F & C together you will most likely get 6 days.
Very powerful words F & C only tobe used in case of emergencies.

I do agree with you, and also swearing when telling a story and against an inanimate object is not as bad ‘but’ swearing against another person or people which is worse. Also do not use the Lord’s name in vain.

Funny how times change.
Only time I heard my dad say the f word when I was young was when he broke he’s arm.
Fast forward 10 years in the pub he said it all the time.
Anyway was quite common in pre Victorian times.
 
You may get a laugh !
1978 School Role Call.
Got hit in the head with a tight wrapped taped paper ball.
Threw it back at the bloke and got sprung.
Both were sent next door for the cane.
He got one and left.
I got one and he got me good.
Then got another two for swearing.
 
I watched the Gold Coast and Brisbane Carols on the telly recently and it would appear that the “ normal” way a carol was sung in the past is no longer the norm. Now the performer has to put their own interpretation on how they are to be sung by putting a Jazz content in the music. As a codger, I find it hard to like, because they sound crap and the carol loses its appeal especially to the live audience whom normally would sing along but cannot due to the new interpretation. Shame, shame, shame. Change for change sake, not for me.
 
Pill Testing facilities at music festival nsw. As far as i know, the use of illicit drugs is still a crime in most states of Oz, so why is the gov’t approving it’s use?
My thoughts on this is, if you don’t put **** in your mouth you don’t need it to be tested. The gov’t should spend the money on flood victims, fire victims, homeless victims, religious victims etc and if if people want to put crap in their system, go for it, enjoy the moment and suffer the consequences.
