Dear o sung wu,

Sure. But likewise you have likely never lived in a coal mining town with the mine and the dirty and inefficient power station leaving a gritty film over everything, were your brothers and sisters suffer from an almost constant croup and where your mother has to pick her washing days depending on the prevailing wind.

Perhaps we all might think about those who live and work in industries which shorten lives and blight childhoods.

We have a pathway toward a cleaner way of providing energy in this country. To be seeing off the oldest most polluting power station should be a cause for celebration, not a whinge-fest.

But this shouldn't distract from the fact the Hasbeen and I have been giving each other clips around the ears for a long while now. I'm pretty busy nowadays with other things but it does feel homely to pop on here and have each other take a swing.

Long may it continue.

Give Mr War Hero a medal! You know nothing of another's circumstance.

BTW, you chose what you did, you weren't forced into it, or were you?

Yep coal mining used to be dirty and dangerous. Thank God we've now got clean, green batteries where the constituent parts such as cobalt are made from fairy-dust and unicorn horn....

But, heh, they're not Aussie kids....so all good.

Mhaze,
That’ll be the first time SteeleRedux & Paul1405 will agree with you whole-heartedly !

There is no reasoning with the resident nutters - overgrown children with huge egos and no brains, capable only of rubbishing other posters and calling them names. Leave them to mhaze, who is something similar but on the other side, and something of an embarrassment for the right of centre.

I'm pretty much through with putting anything up just to be insulted by a couple of idiots with nothing but huge chips on their shoulders and nasty personalities.

Hasbeen

In SA, if you damage a Stobie pole (power pole) you pay for it.

As for the 'poor' driver who took out your power, that's a typical reaction from the loony left who always take the side of the perpetrator, particularly if they harm people they don’t like (us).

This syndrome was demonstrated in SA over the last few days when a nutter in a small country town stabbed two police officers, who were forced to shoot him dead. The lefty media went out of its way to find people to sympathise with the stabber because of his 'mental health issues'. Outrageous! Both cops were hospitalised, and it was touch and go for one of them, who was pronounced to be out of danger only yesterday

ttbn,

Is that why you referred to me as a MORON and FWIT, not that long ago, I always address you as ttbn, and another of your ilk, likes to call me Village Idiot and Paul something or other. The same bloke tries to intimidate by snide innuendo that I am a paedophile.

So don't try to be sanctimonious, you're no clean skin yourself!
