Tell me about it........!

just about to go out on a 5 day shutty and yesterday at the induction we were told not to whinge about the food or accomodation!....Put's a good picture in your mind of what the joint will be like for saftey and conditions hey.

What you whining about? The camps over here are better than holiday resorts with pools, gyms, Foxtel, etc. Dozens of menu choices and, if you ask politely, they will cook a steak to your liking. Heaps of fresh salads, fruit, deserts. Crikey, we never got treated like this back in the army. Week before last at Leinster we walked into the mess to be greeted by a girl in a grass skirt handing out beers for the Polynesian theme night. The food was terrific.

What's the "Poverty Line" ? Maybe thats where I need to be so I can afford a new Hilux bonnet scoop as well.

Come on, I had to pay the tax man $1700 after I did my tax this year (he ripped me another $1500 the year before). And that's after I already paid him a tad under $30,000 PAYG. I had to work really hard this year to afford the Manta stainless exhaust and Rhino roofrack.

And Toyota just made me pay $200 to replace 2 bulbs in the indicator on the ARB bar today.

i would as well (well not that much but 1/2 an hour) they can be a total pita to replace in those bars sometimes if they have those panels bolted underneath so you cant get to them !!
