Mike Kakay Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Careful, or we'll have Santa in here at us about pool maintenance!! On the other hand, in a general and miscellaneous thread for images, I bet there's a few in your library that show the bouyant properties of the backyard pool. Don't think Caniffe would be too happy though. I have many aquatic delights I would only wish to share. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Austen Posted October 29, 2006 Author Share Posted October 29, 2006 Photo-of-the-day............... Just something I purchased in Kings Cross today............. $2 for a pack of three, from a vending machine stuck on the front of a government building !!! I'd previously seen the machine, and was pretty annoyed by it, so today I thought, "For $2 I'll see what it's like". Didn't realise you got a three-pack for your $2 Austen.

Dork(original) Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Austen,the vending machine is a good idea.It's the disposing of them that is the problem.As i work in pits and manholes in the streets i'm constantly finding them and disposing of them as we have the proper disposal kits in our vans.Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
50mxe20 Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 He was, to be polite, slightly peeved that they had broken his window, and couldn't see that he had done anything wrong, as, in his words, "He wasn't gone for all that long" !!!!!!!!!!!!! Reminds me of the picture I saw ages ago but can't find of a BMW parked in front of a fire hydrant. The firemen just knocked out the windows on each side and ran the hose through the car. And of course the hose leaked a bit. Classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austen Posted November 2, 2006 Author Share Posted November 2, 2006 Reminds me of the picture I saw ages ago but can't find of a BMW parked in front of a fire hydrant. ...... That'll be this one ..... But, Todays pic is yet another car parked in front of the Kings Cross fire station !! This photo is slightly misleading due to the angle I took it, the car is actually only blocking around half of the opening, a fire truck in a hurry would easily spin it around................. Austen. EDIT: Edited..See Mellos post below Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betty boop Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 I'm serious though! Never seen such a civil engineering disaster.

But, Todays pic is yet another car parked in front of the Kings Cross fire station !!

This photo is slightly misleading due to the angle I took it, the car is actually only blocking around half of the opening, a fire truck in a hurry would easily spin it around................. Austen. Slighly misleading all right...thats the same picture you described here as Castelreagh St Fire Station So there I was, nearly finished my daily walk up the 'Cross..............As I walked past the (Sydney CBD) Castlereagh St Fire Station, I saw a a huge commotion going on. I had a chat with a Fire-lady (and not an unattractive one at all I might add.....) and it seems that a guy had parked his BMW in front of the fire-station door !! The big one !! The one the fire engines come out of !!! When the fireies (is that a word ??) opened the roller door (routine, not an emergency) they saw the Beemer and broke a window to "gain access" to the car. About this time the owner returned to his car....... He was, to be polite, slightly peeved that they had broken his window, and couldn't see that he had done anything wrong, as, in his words, "He wasn't gone for all that long" !!!!!!!!!!!!! Austen. Thats Castelreagh Street You must be thinking of Kings Cross Police Station Austen...youd have to be quite a regular there by now (thats what I like about Austen you can have a joke with him and he wont call the cops ) (scurries and ducks back under the bridge) I saw a series of photos today on this guys puter.....has anyone else seen this one?..Ill get a copy if not. Its a series of pictures of a white sedan that went over a wharf and into the harbour..anyway the tow truck sent to fish it out goes in the drink as well whilst trying to drag it out.........followed by the crane sent to fish both of them out....the crane gets the car out but falls in trying to get the tow truck out....its a really amazing sequence.....I think there is even one more huge crane that goes in....a total of 4 vehicles all one after the other. You had to be there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austen Posted November 2, 2006 Author Share Posted November 2, 2006 Slighly misleading all right...thats the same picture you described here as Castelreagh St Fire Station This is getting to be a really bad habit of mine lately, agreeing with mello !! He was of course 100% correct, post now edited to reflect Kings Cross fire station. Tomorrows photo is Austen standing in front of the Kings Cross police station. (It's on the route of my daily walk ) Oh the shame...The shame of it...... Austen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Austen Posted November 4, 2006 Author Share Posted November 4, 2006 ....... you would have followed the daily footsteps of mello That I did me old mello mate !! 3 down the end of the Esplanade up the driveway is an old white 2 story block of units......I dont live there but I used to. Think I found the place, I'll bet you've got a few stories you could tell from those days Found the park at the waters edge too....Wow, looked great, and that was with a fine Sydney drizzle happening !! I can imagine it would look a million dollars (or more) on a fine day. Amazing really, no more than 5 minutes from my regular every-day walk, yet I wouldn't of found it in a million years without being told where to go !! And yes, I'm frequently told where to go, but generally it doesn't end up in such a nice place as this !! Thanks for the tip !! Austen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
