Anyone keeping an eye on this Newcastle City Council garbage?
Are we all still cool cool with running Jeff McCloy out of town for spending his own money incorrectly?

Ah yes, because excusing someone else's wrongs because somebody else is doing wrong is always a good way to go.Quote:

Just strikes me as a bit......odd tis all.
All Newcastle Council are doing at the moment is playing straight in to the hands of the Baird Government and their amalgamation plans.
They (NCC) seem to have gone out of their way of late to show they are dysfunctional and I can see the administrators coming if only to push the amalgamation agenda.
Unfortunately,as a Lake Mac resident, I am not looking forward to amalgamating with NCC. I don't want the focus of the lake (and any funding) to be the tiny little peninsula known as the CBD.
I think the merger will be fine. Both councils (from the business side) are run very well and have excellent financial positions.
Petty politics from councillors is the only thing standing in the way.
Mcloy's appointment was beyond retarded. Gouldthorpe the other turd was just a corrupt sidekick who had already raped towoomba council but someone didnt care about that. I couldnt give a sh1t anymore. Id be happy for councils to be scrapped because they cant run anything.
Whats your thoughts on local government Dunst?
Whoa whoa whoa at least let me go get my asbestos suit on before you unleash the big man spitting fire.Quote:

Reality is they aren't responsible for him being there.
He chooses to hide there to avoid arrest
The only person who chooses to be there is him
If he didn't want to be there he is free to walk the streets of London if he desires
walkyleaks right outta there
Yeah see Member it seems that the majority of rational thinking people feel this way.Quote:

and here I was thinking that someone is just trying to avoid a rape charge.
Silly me.
Remembering of course that if you look at your watch while a woman is speaking you are a misogynist.
Anyone got any quotes from Gillard defending the sistahood from the rape culture???
No????
Hmmm.
****ing hell, now the Pope is wading in to the US election.
amazing.
I'm seeking ethical advice. The reasonable and thoughtful views in this thread made me think this is the place to ask.
A 56-year-old lady drove her car into mine in a car park. My vehicle's nothing special: an eight-year-old hatch. No structural damage but about a square foot of scratches and paint taken off. Ditto for her car.
She was confused. I got the impression she was pretty poor. I suspect that paying the excess for my insurance would be tough for her. She'd been visiting a medical specialist.
If you were me, would you lodge a claim? My car's imperfect as it is; it has other scratches and dents.
are the damages worth more than the excess?
consider paying the excess for her
Just to clarify, she pays her own excess. Yours is what you pay to lodge a claim as far as I understand it. Hence premiums are lower the higher your own excess.
I think Boz means couscous will pay the lady's excess. Through no obligation, just goodwill. In the hope that the excess is say $500 and damages for his car are $500+ and then + her car.
Had a incident a few years back where I gave somebody a gentle nudge at the lights. No scratches, little mark that came off with some water upon inspection. She then contacted me trying to claim that I scratched the side of her rear (just above the rear wheel) to which I replied hell no. She then said that the rear bumper panel had been slightly dislodged (which I would believe). Long story short she tried to fleece me $700. my excess was $500. I told her to get 3 more quotes, and 2 places came back at $300, $350. So just paid it.
I'm still unsure whether I caused the rear panel displacement or if that was From the rear side panel incident. I suspect I was used as a means to get it fixed, oh well.
I mean, I'm as cold as they come with a lot of this shit but if circumstances are as you described I wouldn't be taking a cent of that ladies money.Quote:

Few years ago I was watching a game of local football and upon returning to my car noticed a note on the windscreen saying someone had reversed into it. There was mostly just cosmetic damages. I took the car to the smash repairers local to me and they said it'd cost $250 to fix. I rang the person who left the note and they were more than happy, and willing, to pay it for me. Easy done. Faith in humanity restored. No insurance needed.
Have you sussed out the amount it'd cost to fix your car? That's probably the major thing to do - find out how hectic cost-wise it'd run either of you guys or your insurance.
Doubt it. If I got a quick paint job, it'd be $200 or $300, I think. My excess doesn't matter as it was her fault, but her excess is probably $500 to $750 or thereabouts.Quote:

I definitely lost some soul points; I'll need to pay an indulgence fee to the local branch of the Catholic Church Pty Ltd.
Good advice but I married a hard, ruthless woman.Quote:
