Just flicked on TV
Revenge of the Sith
Not only so much that is dreadful about it, but the CGI on a HD Tv Broadcast is an abomination
Hang your head Uncle George when you next count your zillions

you watched the matrix lately, gee the cgi on that was ordinary.

The scene I watched last night was some Grevious character lands on some planet to do a Hologram chat. 2 minutes of unnecessary for a lame CGI laden scene.

Melbourne sucks balls, take me to Yarrawonga for a simple life without the traffic and road rage, overpriced beers and general utensil heads.
Footy and pub rock is all this town has to offer, everything else can get stuffed, coffee / cafe culture pfffft.

I’ve been having the same problem with our pool and ducks. I just got a couple of plastic owls from Bunnings - one a solar powered hooting one - and some of that anti-duck surfactant stuff. Seems to be working so far. So if you’ve tried those I don’t have any other suggestions, apart from maybe getting an inflatable crocodile and having it in there permanently.

We have literally tried the same trail of solutions as you Robbie.
Two owls, repellent and the crocodile head has become the ducks favorite pool toy

We had a friend come take the ducks to his farm so fingers crossed relocation works

Just eat the *ers.

Just eat the f***ers.

Or sell them to them to the local Chinese restaurant!

Buy her neighbour a pool, make it a nice one with some plants and shade and whatever ducks like.

This won’t work. Ducks are territorial and the pool is a nesting ground.
It’ll literally invite the male to utilize both pools

Have just returned home from having my completely stuffed left hip removed and replaced by a brand new super duper Titanium version, was on waiting list for 11 months, so glad it is now out of the way. Any other brothers/sisters of my vintage have any good tips Re. rehab etc, all will be gratefully received, by PM if felt necessary.

One funny story I have to tell is that having nothing to do in hospital except listen to SEN all day, I had the weirdest (almost certainly drug induced) nightmare that we recruited Hayden Ballantyne as a small forward option

 

[tazaa]

FYI another family of ducks returned this morning
Relocation also didn’t work.

And yes I know. Its time to shoot the bastards.

stranger things have happened,

tazaa - have you tried a pool cover? I'm unsure how effective they are at keeping ducks out but they reduce evaporation.

No can do.
The pool has pillars so a cover would be impossible to create or purchase due to the specific cut and measurements.

Have been contemplating the problem too, cargo net?
Maybe they will get caught (safely)

My mother had her hip done at the start of this year, going for the other joint beginning of next year, made a 200% recovery, honestly hasn’t moved better in years

Wish you luck with your recovery muttley45

You can get them cut to measurement

And Pillars?

Wtf is it a marble Greek style looking pool?

Melbourne’s outer east has some big backyards.
The cargo net wouldn’t ‘fit in’ I would assume in terms of the design.

Again I think continual relocation is the only option here
