Re: Ships Waste
Well put Chris
And yes it would be so nice if it could all just be reverted to the good days of Politeness etc!
But I fear we will never see those times again,more the pity!
All one sees and hears of these days is Bashings,Violence,Rudeness and the rest!
But possibly who knows we in the main here are getting to the time that we may yet once again experience the good days ! There may just be a better place in store for us!
Cheers

Re: Ships Waste
brian believe it or not a few years ago we did a job for a detective sergeant he had enough of the police after 25 years on the force he put the blame on the likes of Esther ranson the parents were always told no one including the police can disrespect you otherwise you can get them done so the ferule kids ran amuck now they are parents and have passed the same mind-set to the kids so the law is banging its head against a brick wall? but the evil of some of the young is backfiring on one another drugs wars shootings stabbing etc will never stop now?jp

Just a question JS
I was of the thought that the new type plastic bags now being made are of the disposable type.as we are now able to throw these types into the Rycycle Bins here in NSW!
These new bags are supposed to break down after a bit of time! As said just a question!

Re: Ships Waste
HI Chris
Good way to stop a cat messing in your garden, drop orange or mandarin peel where it goes to do it's stuff, it stops it
We have a black cat comes from next door sniffs around then heads across the road.

Re: Ships Waste
Respect and discipline are now things of the past I fear. Talk today on radio about the scourge of the drug 'Ice'. Unlike os many before it this one takes no prisoners and effects all of the community, Heroin, Canabis ets did not have the same impact.
Our staet gov has now passed the one punch law, that is if you hit some one and they die as a result of falling and hitting their head then you will get a min 10 year sentence. Fantastic you may say, but some oen high on drugs will noty even consider such punishment at the time of their attack. We had a case here on Saturday where a guy in the Goldem arches was hit by another one and hit his head then died. Did he even consider the law?


Happy daze John in Oz.
