Tip boiling water on the weeds, Cods, then boil it again for a job well done and a cuppa.

I tried poring boiling water and salt on couch grass growing in driveway cracks
and it still grew back.
It's indestructible.

A shit load of salt and a shit load of vinegar sprayed on the weeds should see them off

Read my last post -
I think only Roundup can destroy couch.

[Black Orchid]

Roundup is toxic and carcinogenic. Never used it and never will.

It was cold enough in the factory I work in to freeze hell over today and the heater ran out of diesel , The owner said he was going down to the gas station to refill, 3 hours later still no fuel, I went into the office and they had a fan heater going, nice and toasty in there, I turned it off opened the door to the office and told him if he turned it back on before he refilled the heater in the workshop I would come in and cut the fucken plug off it ,

It had the desired effect, lol

hilarious.. how come you didnt get the sack????

A story about Melbourne:
Example of Somebody Else's Problem.

In an 80km/hr zone -
on the Princess Highway not far from where I live
there was a tree branch that was blocking half
of the right hand lane out of the 3 lanes.
It was causing cars to swerve from the right hand lane to the middle lane to avoid it.
Obviously it was a major traffic hazard.
It was still there 4 days later so
I pulled over to the side of the road and when there were no
cars I ran across & moved the heavy branch on to the median strip - grass area.
I drove away.

I estimate that over 100 police cars would have driven down that road in 4 days
yet they did nothing.
I also estimate that over 200,000 cars went past and did nothing over the 4 days.

I was the only person who removed the hazard.
That just goes to show you the attitude of most people in our concrete jungle.
People don't care about anything even if it affects them.
It's always Somebody Else's Problem.

Good job, Bobby! "It's always someone else's problem" seems to be the attitude nowadays. It's really quite shameful. I'm ok Jack so I don't care about anyone else sort of thing.

It's like when there is someone being attacked. They pull out their phones and video it. I don't recommend stepping into something horrible but surely there is more to do than just film it? Look at the abuse of that girl in Melbourne recently. People standing around videoing and doing nothing.

A few years ago I was coming home from work late and as I was walking through Town Hall Square I saw 4 girls attacking another girl violently and trying to steal her bag. They were ripping her hair out and when they got her on the ground 1 kept ripping her hair, 2 were kicking her and the 4th was trying to rip the bag off her shoulder. As I walked towards them at least 4-5 men walked past coming in the opposite direction and did absolutely nothing other than crane their necks to get a better look.

So, not even thinking, I stepped in and made a great deal of noise. Luckily for me they dropped her and took off. When I got home and told my sons they freaked out and told me how stupid I was lol.

Intervening when your personal safety is at risk is another matter.
If you were a big bloke like Hulk Hogan then it would have been a better idea.
Still - it was very kind of you.

[Black Orchid]

On reflection is was pretty stupid but I just acted instinctively.
