I could legit watch stuff like this on the royals all day lol

Every campaigner says "who gives a shit about the royals. Noone does"
yet they're still bloody everywhere.
So plenty of people do.

Me and Partridge have a big disagreement about how hot Harry's missus is.
I reckon she's pretty hot

Yeah I don't mean everyone likes them. Those 2 are quite painful.
But people still pay attention.
True. Dianna/Fergie etc were definitely peak royals.
They were on the TV every night up to some shit.
I suppose they've waned a bit since then

Got a FIFO job! Have had 2 medicals in 2 days. + absolute sh*t ton of paperwork.
And I got a course on Monday, and been turning up to my now job.
Been crazy

Have you done it before? FIFO that is?

 

[Shell]

The American "royals" are pretty interesting too- the Kennedys. Saw a two part doco of them the other day. I had nfi of all the dramas other than the famous ones/assassinations

 

[Shell]

The producers of the Crown should do a series on them. Would be ****ing brilliant

 

[Spazz Cat]

Have you done it before? FIFO that is?

Yep when I was way younger. Before I had kids. Did it for about 8 months.

 

[Spazz Cat]

This aint too bad though. Most of it's not in the mines and they have a fair bit of work in Victoria early next year.

They weren't too bad at killing young actresses.
Ruthless family, JFK/Bobby's sister was a bit mentally disabled.
Their Dad got her a lobotomy in case she embarrassed and derailed the sons political hopes.

I'm in Queensland for almost 2 weeks starting at the end of next week.
Then Vic.
Then to SA for 3 days training.
Then Vic then Xmas shut down.
Dunno much more than that except they have a 3 month job coming up in Melbourne early next year.

 

[Spazz Cat]

You got kids etc OzSpark? How do you go with the FIFO?

Cool,
I was in out back QLD got hot in summer there, days were over 45 degrees.

 

[Spazz Cat]

I'm more worried about one of my dogs TBH.
He has an anxiety problem when I'm not around

I know!! Learnt of that via the documentary. Had never heard of it, was the saddest story

Yeah it's bloody crazy. And the flies too

 

[Shell]

And the car crash into the lake and the rape trial

 

[Spazz Cat]

And the car crash into the lake and the rape trial

Yeah all that shit. They would stop at absolutely nothing to keep their career's in tact

 

[cats_09]

G-Town traffic turned to sh×t .

Bring back lockdown .
Where the fook has everyone come from...
Go away .
Grrrrrrrr.

Yep

Westfield has had sales all week, while the council decided to get on board with Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals

All of that results in more folks heading into town, and we're starting to get more from outside the region also

 

[Shell]

Yeah all that sh*t. They would stop at absolutely nothing to keep their career's in tact

Like i said, would make an excellent series done well.

All that against the backdrop of the states about 1920-1990s

[OzeSparky]

You got kids etc OzSpark? How do you go with the FIFO?

yeah 2 boys

10 and 8 now.

Started it when eldest was 6 months, Great money not much of a social life.
Number 2 was born and I flew out 3 days later back to work.

And I was smart enough to quit to go home to help Missus,
other wise I would be like the 80 percent of the workforce on the site.
Onto my 2nd marriage or single.

Big thing I noticed out there is most of the people have massive loans, They buy huge houses, have jet skis, flash cars and think life is great. But the job doesn't last forever.
