Yep, To be honest In the future I might not agree a lot with what he does but what ever he does it needs to be done coz someone has got to fix this mess and he will make some Clusters and he will hit a few 6's so it's swings and roundabouts, I think he'll do ok.

There was a kid in our class at Indooroopilly High who used to place a piece of blotting paper with touch powder under chairs at random while they were upside down on the desk. You'd walk into class and as you dragged you chair off the desk to place it on the floor it would explode. No damage done but one hell of a fright.

One day the teacher saw him fiddling under his desk and came for a look, he quickly shoved it in his pocket and it exploded. Very lucky he can still call himself a man today

During apprenticeship, making acetylene bombs was a way of hurrying up bludgers sitting behind closed door of the dunny? Get the mixer correct and they dusted the overhead beams in the workshop.

Just got an email from Mygov telling me that I am owed 198.92 AUD. All I had to do was click on the link and fill out the form. Hmm, the email started by addressing me as "Dear Customer", the sentance was grammaticaly incorrect, there was no $ sign infront of the amount and it had AUD after it. The little swines need to lift their game if they're going to mine serious money. Although in their defence they did make an effort with the format and logo's. Just a heads-up to everyone.

Swines, good word, a lot better than the alternative i was thinking about.

Bit extravagant there NJ, we just used to light up crumpled newspaper and throw it under the door to extract them The acetylene was saved for balloons under the welding benches. Can you imagine pulling those stunts these days?

It is now illegal to smack your kids?
Wonder what they would think today about the tradesmen back then getting us familiar with heights by tying us to the hook on the mobile cranes and hoisting us upside down 100ft into the air.

Pretty sure that one would come under a Health Care and Safety Rule

Since when?

Last I knew (2014) it was "Solicitor Anneka Frayne from Stacks Law Firm said the Supreme Court decision was interesting in law, but stressed that while many other countries have instituted legal bans on corporal punishment of children including New Zealand, Germany, Italy, Hungary and Greece, there is no anti-smacking law in Australia".

 

[Mackka]

Yes you can smack according to the Criminal Code Act 1924 (s50). Mackka

You might want to check that ? There are about a half dozen section paragraph blah blah in regards to this . Here is one of them
It has been held by a court that a parent is not lawfully entitled to administer to a girl of 19 months any physical punishment except of the very lightest description - a slight slap at most;

There are a number of legal firms confirming on-line that it is not an offence, such as the one quoted. There was a trial case and conviction but it was thrown out on appeal. And of course the issue is severity - normal laws of assault also apply to children, but normal smacking is not classed as assault in Australia. A slight slap sounds appropriate for a kid only 19 months old - that is a very small kid. We found that at that age the "naughty corner" was probably more effective.

In Brissie and surrounds the Premier has asked everyone to get your Gerni’s out and use water, to lower the dam levels and you will be given $55 off your water bill. You bloody beauty, however, just paid our rates and they have gone up $50 so thanks for the $5 free water.

The wooden spoon only needed to be brought out and behaviour improved.

[Feral]

We only had half wooden spoons in our house. Mum would hit us once and the spoon would split. Didn't even really hurt. Now Dad on the other hand, his go to was the jug cord. That sucker hurt big time

 

[sand surfer]

we used to get the ironing cord as well feral i know what you mean

 

[Jaros]
