Good luck tonight everyone. Especially to those of us who can’t open windows because their cat will destroy the flyscreen…

Don’t get me wrong, I love the little gremlin, but fuck me it’d be nice to get a breeze going in the house sometimes.

I did it once when she was at the vet and that was it pretty much.

This is excellent. I was just thinking the other day that I was sad because I hadn’t heard a good new joke in a long time but this has brightened my day, thank you

About to get up a ladder and clean some gutters but…

Spoke to the old man last night and was reminding me about the ambulance vic subscription.

Then he decided to tell me about one of his buddies who recently had a fall off a ladder.

Apparently he fell backwards and his leg got caught between 2 steps quite high up, leg snapped in half and he was just dangling there until his wife found him an hour later.

Fucking nightmare fuel really bad timing.

Ouch. People do get very blase about ladders and disregard the risks involved. It’s also something that people insist on doing when they become too old to do so safely (like driving). Stubborn old men who insist on climbing on the roof are a fairly frequent category of rescue the Fire Brigade go to, when said stubborn old main realises they can’t get down again or have a medical episode from the exertion of climbing up.

Apparently the stats for men over 50 falling off ladders are quite startling. If you are under 50, then maybe you’ll be OK …

I suppose it’d be too much to assume it was an act of god or a natural disaster?

I wonder what illegal shit they were selling. Or do you think it was a dissatisfied customer?

Well apparently both the Thomastown and Thornbury fires are linked and have something to do with a boxing match that was to be held.
