Right, you're in the boonies. I see your problem with infrastructure now, so I'll change my stance to "mostly agree".

I gotta side with Alaskun on this one. While burning natural gas might be better that says nothing to the earth-ruining extraction methods, carbon footprint from the supply lines, ruining pristine lands with pipelines, not to mention the massive fucking leak in California. People are evacuated, kids having health problems, unknown environmental damage. Just because it's clean and easy at your house doesn't mean it's a clean fuel. Compare that to someone who owns their land, cuts and seasons their own lumber, replants lumber (which actually adds something), and warms their own home for free.
It's like fucking rain barrels in Colorado. They're illegal. The bullshit reason: The water belongs to everyone and you can't steal your neighbors water. Real reason: We want you to buy the water from us instead of collecting it for free.

The rain thing is ridiculous, the wood stove thing is not so ridiculous. I see your point re; fossil fuel extraction but if we all reverted back to wood stoves instead of LNG we would be in a much worse position. Ideally, we should ramp up small-scale renewable installations and use an electric stove to have clean air and negate fossil fuels.

Wood stoves are ridiculously inefficient and should be phased out. You're a numpty.

play slayer full blast at about 2am.

 trow a massive house party.

You don't scare or annoy anyone with Slayer. They're great, but what you need here is some true Norwegian Black Metal. Preferably at night.

Gorgoroth?

Just found out my sister+brother-in-law are up to their eyeballs in mortgage repayments and credit card debt. Both just hit 30 and only lived on their own for 2 years. A part of me is concerned, but a little part of me is giggling my arse off at the hypocritical austerity language they are now using.

She's pretty chill these days, but I still hold her up to the wall while screaming when I get the chance.

stem pad + box

I hate admitting to being a fucking dinosaur but waaaay back in the Mesozoic era rednecks did not have chamfered edges. Cut my knee so many times from hitting my 44t on feebles and consequently having my chain fall apart. So glad that the garbage parts are in the past.

Those were the days. I had a red redneck.

The frozen piss is great, but I think they have floorboards. Might be good on the welcome mat though! I have a surplus of baby turd nappies, so I've been dropping a few in their bins every week.

I live in a townhouse/maisonette type place (joining wall down the length of the house to our neighbours, we're #A and they're #B). My neighbours have no idea how to enter/exit/socialise/talk/do anything without making as much noise as possible.

I have resorted to playing "twinkle twinkle little star" on my electric guitar with the amp butted against the wall once a week, usually at 7 am. Any further ideas to disrupt their life as much as they disrupt mine are welcome.

I'll just sit back and wait for Barnett to fuck your state even harder. When Nehan starts screaming for more GST and everyone else says no, then I might buy up in Freo.
