1: Why do tradesmen always have to start making shitloads of noise with their noise-accented concrete cutting, jack-hammering machines at seven a.m.? Why can’t they work the same hours as the rest of us? How would they feel if we sat outside their windows when they’re trying to sleep, yelling and sweary, with their horrid FM radios turned up so we’re forced to listen to Diggzy and Floppo or what-the-fuck-ever at Shite FM?
2: How come the women that empty the pad bins at work all look like they’ve been to prison?
3: Why do I still have to warn my travelling friend about drink spiking when she’s going out? How is this even still a problem?
4: How did a MASSIVE international security operation go on a few weeks back without anyone blinking? When a chillingly frightening situation is on the table, no-one blinks when something is done about it? (and I am NOT talking about the Chaser, or APEC..)
5: Do you realise that every one you know, someday will die?
Questions, questions…
Extra points if you get all the anwers right.

1. Because like most people, they are inconsiderate.
2. Because women who look like Heidi Klum get better paid work doing other stuff.
3. Because there are some seriously deranged predators among us. Always has been. Always will be.
4. pass.
5. I die a little bit more inside every year when I find out that Big Brother has not been cancelled.
1. Because it’s cooler in the morning.
2. Because low income earners beget low income earners, and middle aged returners to the workforce aren’t always as attractive as you might like.
3. Because she didn’t listen the first time.
4. Fear. More importantly, why did the Chaser guys get arrested for pointing out a legitimate flaw in security. What if it were terrorists posing as a Canadian motorcade that they’d allowed through?
5. Yes.
1. Tradies do everything on their own time. If they ring you up and say “I will be out and 3 on Tuesday that means 5 on Friday.” They also ring and abuse my mother at work because the shop isn’t open yet. They don’t open till 9am and they ring at 6:30am.
They also don’t wipe their feet and need to have a 2 hour lunch break.
2.They have….We used to have a guy collect ours at my last work, he didn’t look like he came from prison.
3.Men are evil spawn.
4.Security were told not to question or check inside the cars.
5.”Who wants to live for ever?”
What will points do for me?
5. yes but, Instead of saying all of your goodbyes, let them know you realise that life goes fast. It’s hard to make the good things last. You realise the sun doesn’t go down, it’s just an illusion caused by the world spining round.
But instead of saying all of your goodbyeeesss. Let them know you realise that life goes fast.. it’s hard to make the good things last. You realise the sun dosn’t go down.. it’s just an illusion caused by the world, spinning round.
Do I win? haha.

God damnit I was one comment away from being the first person to comment those lyrics! ah well.. good work by _jesswa.
1. I don’t know.
2. I don’t know.
3. Because some men are that low.
4. I don’t know
5. I KNOW!
Lucky I read the comments before I quoted Wayne again!
1. Most Tradesmen (as I also learnt this morning) think they have been thrust into some almighty position of power (oh yes, jurisdiction via construction permit!), along with all small local committee members. As a result, they reckon doing all their work in the early hours of the morning is justified.
2. Often, they have. But in all fairness, I must also say it is not the prettiest job in the world… SO! who ya gonna hire?
3. My dad still warns me about it every time I go out. Yes, I’m 16 and I’m going over to a mates house with probably 5 other people. The media has us caught up in its campaign of fear. That is what I tell him every time, to no avail as they have done such a fantastic job of brainwashing him!
4. I don’t know actually… Good question
5. Golly, tell me about it. However, if we ALL die eventually, does it really count as dying?
Anyway, I must say G, I have been an admirer of your blog for some time, and this is the first time I have commented! even though I always have something to say! expect more from me!
Angus:
“if we ALL die eventually, does it really count as dying?”
Angus, I couldn’t determine the context
Of just what after dying could come next
That your question implied…
Seems like logic defied.
Maybe there was something I missed in the subtext.
Just, that question is one quite peculiar.
Do you mean death’s just life’s way to fool ya
Into living again?
It all sounds very zen.
Just live life like death’s fear doesn’t rule ya.
Because nobody has mentioned this, and it needs to be said….
Shite FM’s worst program is on Sundays when I am so annoyed at getting up way too early to visit some stupid relo for some stupid brunch and I hear your stupid voice with the stupid top 30 or whatever kind of stupid music it’s called.
crankypants rant over!
Onto the questions.
After that, the only one I feel like answering/agree with is the prison ladies. It’s true. Prison ladies did it at school and prison ladies do it at my work.
Is it just me or is everybody hell bent on bagging one another lately. Look at what you’re eating people, are there lots of numbers and all sorts of preservatives listed on the package?
If this is what it’s all about I’m checking out baby!
Try saying something nice to your fellow man/woman in the near future and see how great you both feel!
Bagging people cool? I don’t think so!
Jeffro, what I meant (and to clarify!)…
Death, to me at least, is an uncertainty. It is certainly going to come sooner or later, yet what lies for the soul (or whatever passes through after death) is totally up in the air. How do we know that what lies beyond the great pearly gates, is in fact not heaven, but a gigantic pool of oreo’s in milk (some would argue, still heaven)
What I mean (and admittedly I am still not one hundred percent sure on it myself) is that certain things we never had imagined, might just happen. Nor am I rejecting the idea of death = dying, you die, you get buried that’s it, BUT! who has actually come back and told us what happens? It will never be answered as it lies beyond human consciousness…
Hope that cleared things up!
“Bagging people cool? I don’t think so!”
So you are saying you never bag anyone out?
Think of how boring life would be with out bagging people out there would be no woman’s day, Perez Hilton, conversations would be come boring even some songs wouldn’t exist.
Bagging people is just another way for people to express themselves. Everyone is interested in what is going on in other peoples lives and want to have their say on things that have nothing to do with them. It is called being human, some people do it more then others.
Heck, I bag out a different person every hour.
Angus, yes it has (and Andrew, sorry for hijacking the topic).
There is probably a certain irony in the conclusion that there could be life after death because no one has “actually come back and told us what happens”. And I really hope that “what lies for the soul … is totally up in the air” wasn’t intended as as bad of a pun as it sounds.
Spending eternity with soggy biscuits in milk doesn’t appeal to me, especially after the milk’s gone off. But having no nerves, neurons, or neurotransmitters, and therefore no method of sensory perception, I guess it wouldn’t be so bad – though not so good either.
Drawing on your reference to the “pearly gates”, derived from Revelation chapter 21, ‘heaven’ is a square area with walls about 2400km long and 64m high, with 3 gates (each gate supposedly being a single pearl) on each side. This gives heaven an area somewhere between that of India and Australia. That’s a lot of room for milk and Oreos™, but not much room for everyone (at least all the good ones) who’ve ever died. Though if ‘souls’ have no mass – people don’t lose weight at the exact moment they die – and hence no volume, I guess heaven would provide ample area for everyone. As would a teapot… possibly, the same teapot that is orbiting Mars. (Incidentally, the bible says nothing at all about Peter waiting at any one of those 12 ‘pearly gates’.)
Having not yet died, at least to the best of my knowledge (though there is the theory that I have died in countless parallel universes), I can’t say with absolute certainty that there isn’t something after death, but in all of human history, the only thing that has been proven is that life after death is merely something hoped for.
So all that said, since no one really knows, I believe that people should follow the underlying principles of almost every religion, as echoed by Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure: “Be… excellent to each other. And… party on dudes.”
No. 4. – Does this just fully prove your point if I admit that I have actually no idea what you are referring to?
4. Ah… are we talking about Afghanistan?
Truth is – even if I’m on the wrong topic – most people have simply lost interest. Once dramatic headlines fade, people return to their own mundane little existence, unless they’re the people being affected.
Kerry Packer has “actually come back and told us what happens”. He was clinically dead for a couple of minutes. He maintained that there was nothing post-mortem when he first died. Of course, he is now, once again dead.
andrew (not G), Mr Packer’s comments are not conclusive, as other people who have had so-called ‘near death’ experiences do claim that something does happen. Those experiences, however, can be explained by the uncontrolled release of various neurotransmitters, which are ‘remembered’ as experiences that are reinterpreted later in a form influenced by their belief system.
Gees… what is with the death talk?
Ask a death question, get a death answer, I guess. Good to see some discussion starting to cook up. Kudos to Angus and Jeffro.
1: The same reason why half the security guards around my work refuse to smile or respond to my greetings, preferring to simply remain stone-faced. An inflated sense of importance in regards to one’s job results in a lack of courtesy to those around you. Of course, maybe they’re just pricks.
2: I’d say there’s a distinct possibility they have been to prison. Imagine you have served time, and then give some thought to the type of job you’d most likely be able to work.
3: Because a lot of people are shit (not exclusively men).
4: To be perfectly honest, I wouldn’t even know what you’re talking about. I must have missed it. I suppose this is the cost of trusting the media to inform us. If I were to make a wild guess, I’d say that there was more screen time devoted to Idol advertisements last fortnight than there was to this security operation?
5: I realise. I don’t comprehend, but I realise.

because they are manly, and feel the need to wake everyone else up, just because they are awake, its a constructors paradise… -.-
2: How come the women that empty the pad bins at work all look like they’ve been to prison?
because they went to prison.
3: Why do I still have to warn my travelling friend about drink spiking when she’s going out? How is this even still a problem?
because the police dont do much.
4: How did a MASSIVE international security operation go on a few weeks back without anyone blinking? When a chillingly frightening situation is on the table, no-one blinks when something is done about it? (and I am NOT talking about the Chaser, or APEC..)
because there is a war, and no one wants to be in it.
5: Do you realise that every one you know, someday will die?
yes. but so will paris hilton and britney spears.
so im fine with it.
