They may have got things right on the pitch recently but this seems onimous , it gives me last days of Mel vibes. Owner no longer putting cash in and just borrowing it, until the credit runs out. I'm not bothered if they get points deduction and relegation but I really hope thay don't have to go through the insolvency s****.

The airline that 777 owned in Australia was put into administration a couple of days ago. 

First pint in England, terminal 5 Heathrow. Darkfruits Ram I’m with you brother 🤣.

Bus No1, Brisbane to Singapore.

Once everyone has sobered up 

No, that’s the time to sign them up😆. I once signed up to coach a side after a wild Christmas pissup and was the last person in town to know.

Retired at 59, not sure about your superannuation system but here your employer has to put in 11% and depending on what union eba, employees top up on top of that I think 3-4%. A flat 15% tax rate on monies going in so a good incentive to up top up personally. After age 60 any outgoings is tax free. At 67 you can get the aged pension.
When I retired I spent 9 months refurbishing both my daughters homes as well as plenty of travel. I had a local school wanting me to help with casual maintenance 3 years ago and word of mouth I’m now doing 3 days at 3 different schools a week. Good thing is I go on holidays whenever I want. Leaving for Scotland, Croatia and England for 6 weeks in 12 hours.

Nearly 4 pm here and been up since 6. 9.30 pm kickoff so that’s a pleasant change. Have to be up at 5am for our flight over to Ol Blighty tomorrow so hopefully have a pleasant nights sleep.

They made the newsfeed over here as well😂.

Just watched that! You got to see a great game, hope you’re not too soaked! The NRL is my second sporting love. 

Got a bit of a touch up tonight. Bit of a learning curve for our youngsters. 6 new players so far this year so onwards to Cronulla next week. Got absolutely soaked but I got to try out my new wet weather gear for our 6 day hike in Scotland so all good.

A wet Saturday night in Brisbane watching Canberra Raiders take on the Broncos, flying to the UK next Sunday morning so hopefully the results will make a 36 hour flight more bearable.

How do you sleep at night?!

All good mate, they’d rather bolt instead of fighting. Just have to treat them with respect, there’s been a few deaths already this year. I’ve had to move a couple from our school, they get s*** scared of 500 kids surrounding them.

That gary rowetts garden?

How about this one, we’ve got an Eastern Brown lurking around our yard. Second most deadly snake in the world.

Stopped for a break on the way home, might stay on the path.

Misty morning at Mann River, northern rivers NSW for 6 days of kayaking and the odd drink.

My son blames Airbourne for his (partial) hearing loss.

 

I’m sure The Stranglers and Metallica did mine in.

Always a brilliant experience.

One of the best AC/DC gigs I ever saw was at Punchestown a few years back (checks YouTube - bloody Nora, 15 years ago). Angus performing an amazing solo on the cherry-picker in the most torrential rainstorm.

I’m a bit old school, haven’t seen them since Bon died. Just wouldn’t be the same.

The Greenhouse up the road is the nearest thing in belper to a Spoons, sky sports, food, dancing and fighting of a weekend.

Would suit a Crocodile Dundee type of fella right down to the ground!  They may ask you to leave your Bowie knife at the door though?

Sounds like my sort of pub, I thought I kept the video of my dance skills clearing the floor at Jorrocks locked up.

If Wilkos hadn't closed you'd have completed the set.

I’d settle for a Spoons especially curry nights.

Belper chippy in this itinerary

We like mixing things up 😅

... And the little crafter/makers shop ("The Cabin") just 131ft off King St (down Campbell St, which is dead opposite the Railway pub), if you'd be so kind.  😁

Perhaps consider a small purchase of a new fabric specs case, or even a purse etc, for you journey home.  Other fabric items are available from Muckerette's own little portion of the shop, plus lots of other tempting hand made items of all description, from the numerous other makers.

 

#hard sell
#blatant extortion
#are there any depths this guy wouldn't stoop to?
#what a f**kin' liberty

Will do mate, appreciate getting local knowledge when visiting new places.

Obviously being above Belper Chippy will be the highlight 

Mate the highlight will be Gregg’s across the road and Poundland a couple of shops down the road, happy days!

Uk and Europe trip just about booked, leave Brisbane 28 April, end up in Inverness then a 6 day hike leaving from Fort William. A few days floating around Scotland then a week in Dubrovnik and Split, flying back into Manchester. Staying in Belper for 12 days in King st above the fish bar then down to London for 4 days before flying back to Brisbane via Perth. 6 weeks all up.
