The What's Pi$$Ing You Off Thread

[k31th]

haha I could have a discussion all night just on the concept or philosphy of "luck"

[JETURBO]

U could argue luck about everything in the world ...... Correct....... I won $525 on lotto last week, was it luck or the part that I actually bought a ticket and statistics placed me where they should ?

Oh no spaghettoooooooo

[k31th]

them spaghettio's are getting a workout, I bet.

WPMO the disgraceful stooge/ bogan lefties behavior at the Gough Whitlam memorial service.

Julia Buzzard Keating and Hawke arrive to much cheering and standing ovation's , John Howard and Tony Abbott

were greeted with a cacophony of boos and sledging.( Abbotts a wanker etc)

This is a state memorial service attended by serving and previous Liberal Prime Ministers to pay their respects

regardless of political ideology, that is why they were there. Pay their respects to a former leader of this country.

This boorish behavior is unacceptable and pays Gough Whitlam no respect IMO It is not a political rally FFS. What is this country coming to?

I personally am ashamed as an Australian and hope this crap isn't seen overseas. Very damaging shows us how some of the left really are?

Welcome to redneck wonderland

That said I look forward to ABC and Fairfax reporting on this. Must be Mr Rabbits fault.

Farkin disgraceful.

Gough was never going to be remembered as a great Prime Minister ( booted out twice)

Whilst I am a centre right conservative a former PM deserves better

He would not be amused ( some will get this)

Who are you throwing the stick @ buff?

if it was a boomerang I would expect a blow to the left temple

Sick off all this poor horse and animal cruelty crap. These one week of the year hippies should all be packed on a boat and sent to Antarctica.

Pretty sure most of these clowns eat meat that is treated in a far less respectable way than the lives these horses live.

I agree with 99% of what J@ said there.

Most of the things you said, Fluff, pertain to either having existing capital (already have a financial advantage) or building in the right area (luck).

It's equally likely that the property you purchase can halve in price every 10 years (or less), which puts you at an even worse position, especially if you've paid no principal.

Actually statistics say your absolutely wrong lol

The chances a house will halve in value are no where near the actual growth figures of property in Australia. Even in the gfc which was predicted to be crippling, never made property half in value. The only time a property may half or lessen dramatically is a natural disaster or something to do with the location you picked. Insurance covers one thing and brains can cover the ther most times.

Again this is all a research thing which again comes down to hard work. Sitting all night on face book, or sitting all night reading property valuation and growth reports?

No ones saying you should buy a house every four months and expect the growth to cover the deposit for the next house but as a general rule I built my house at 20... Even if it took ten years for it to grow enough to refinance a small deposit for another house then that's still a house every ten years which is still five houses by retirement.

With banks dishing out $105% lend still and first home buyers having it as easy as ever (at least here in sa) there is now use except not using yor brain to research or making bad decisions on other crap and not saving as much of your wage every week while you were 18 and still living at home. (Of course there are exceptions for this I am just giving the general example of lazy ass young adults I seem to encounter every day that whinge their poor but live with mum and dad and pay nothing)

Go to do first oil change on the au 5l since I bought it, first thing that worries me is a sump plug buried beneath silicone..uh oh.

Good thing is looks like it was the plug that lost the battle with the gorilla and not the sump. After 5pm though so all on hold till the morn. Are they an m12 plug?

Statistics in western civilization is certianly in favour of success (if you can pay off your first mortgage relatively quickly - that's a big if) in the real estate market.

Just look at a place like Detroit in the USA for an example of the opposite extreme.

Like I said previously, if you want to continue this discussion, I am happy to continue... but for now, I'll leave it there.
