  1. @Theme Park Girl If I could give you a double rep I would.
  2. @Theme Park Girl I don't want to be a pain but can you please get a shot looking towards the station location to be.
  3. I would like to introduce myself. My name is Skeeta and I have a coaster fetish. It all started when I rode my first woody.
  4. @djrappa Always said, he would be happy to buy us all a beer.
  5. If this topic wasn't hot enough already. Now it's hot pink. @themagician @Theme Park Girl What has happened in the area the kerb was being cut?
  6. @Theme Park Girl I hope you phoned in sick and packed your lunch.
  7. ^If you are having trouble finding an electrician, just remember this is a dead giveaway you have located one.
  8. One week before BW & JL open back up. @Theme Park Girl did you see any electricians working on site today?
  9. Maybe. I have been told the coaster arrived weeks ago, but couldn't be delivered due to a problem with getting the coaster into the area without damaging something. I don’t know if this is true or just a bit of Chinese whispers. When I saw, them cutting kerb it made me think they might be creating an entrance or exit for the trucks to get around whatever the problem is. In saying that there might not even be a problem.
  10. @Theme Park Girl Is the concrete cutting directly across from the temp fence photo? Don't worry I can see it in the 3rd photo. Thanks for the pictures.
  11. The dictionary describes the word “Bully” as a person who is habitually cruel to others. It also says a bully is a tormenter who has a imbalance of power and uses this behavior towards others on a CONSTANT basis. It is becoming increasingly alarming at how many people use the word “Bully” in the wrong context. It’s gotten to the point that if people don’t like what you say, they don’t like your opinion, or they just can’t get what they want from you, they will call you a “Bully.” Because bullying is such a hot issue, everyone is using the term “Bully” in one way or another – yet completely OUT of context. Normal social interaction, being told something you don’t want to hear, being ribbed by your friends on one occasion, being treated cruelly one time -- is not bullying. Kids who are repeatedly harassed and taunted and attacked are absolutely being bullied and need to be protected by their parents and the school system. However, children who happen to find themselves on the receiving end of a snarky remark or a disrespectful comment, have to learn the power to stand up for themselves. Much of this is just plain old DRAMA! Some of it is not. But we'll never know what real bullying is, if people continue to abuse the word. Bullying is clearly as described above and is done on a constant basis. When we use the word “Bully” in the wrong context we are sending a message to those around us that everyone is being bullied and we are telling people we are victims. We have become desensitised to the word and as a country we are overusing it. This can be harmful to kids who are truly being bullied on a regular basis. We are creating a world of victims! We cannot become victims by one time events – or because we didn’t hear what we wanted to hear from the person we were speaking to. Let’s use the word “Bully” in a real and responsible way. Bullying is difficult enough when it happens for real. Let’s not create a country of victims because our society overuses a word.
  12. That takes the heat off me for a while. In saying that, They did grow the trees in front of DW to reduce car accidents on the M1.
  13. I think the union is more interested in this than the employees. An article was run in the fake news Gold Coast bulletin on Friday. It went on to say that the union had a closed Facebook page on the issue for staff. Apparently, this closed group had over 1000 members and the article led me to believe it was going to be a huge protest. Long rambling short I did a drive-by on the way to Bunnings, Saturday morning around 9:30am. The snippet shown here is the most people that were at the protest. When I drove past there was no more than 15 people at the front. When I did the return drive-by at 10:30am the group had reduced to 6. I don’t know how long the protest lasted for and don’t know how many people came and went. Having a sign waved in your face as you enter saying you are pretty much supporting a sweat factory for going in is intimidating and borderline thuggery. At the end of the day I don’t know what the union wanted to achieve. Whenever I hear this unions name now alarm bells go off in my head. I don’t understand why they started kicking DW when they were down. If DW was unsafe for the union members, why would the union not stop the workers from working? If village are not paying the staff, the correct wages why not stop the staff from working?
  14. @MaxxTheMonster Might be a good time to check your ships travel plans. Just in case it's already here.
  15. LOL, you should see how much backroom talk is going on now @thunder001 on which day it will be delivered. Not saying you don't know it's just a bit comical on how many dates I have been told by different people. I've even been told by some people they have photos of it at the docks right now. When you push for a photo they never deliver. I don’t know why they tell me in the first place if they aren’t going to give me some honey. I think it’s going to be a little sad when it’s completed because we won’t know what to talk about.
  16. No clue unless the colour was selected back in 2008. That's the first clear google picture I have. Why would it not have been planed to be moved over a year ago when the plans were produced?
  17. If you close it in it becomes a plant room, that's a whole lot of ugleness.
  18. It's also peculiar because if it remains it will be an eyesore.
  19. One thing we are running low on is updates on the conduit. I have not found on any plans that the electrical distribution box will be relocated to a different location. Not to say it won’t but for now it remains directly under the lift hill.
