At which point do helicopter parents stop hovering and make kids do things for themselves. :roll:

Question: who pays when they dont do it?
Answer: I organise, and pay for, all of the insurance. It's sort of............. well.......... insurance

I do hear you on the Privacy problem though. Then again, some older masters of the universe have trouble understanding it as well dont they.......... ;)


Same. It's one of their Xmas presents every year.

Skeetos don't usually annoy me (i must have bad blood :lol: ) but was outside the other night and was shocked at the size of these buggers, they've definitely been on the roids over the last couple of years

You mean the same people that:
Send me a text
I ring to clarify
They dont answer
They send me a text with "what do you want?"
I was going to give you $5,000
They ring
I dont answer
I send them a text "what do you want?"

They are great at that hey?

Whenever my daughter rings me I speak in a real panicky voice saying it's good that her phone is repaired, found or that I'm glad that she's alive as I haven't slept for days waiting for her reply.

When the shoes on the other foot though!!!

If it's my son I just send a question mark every ten minutes.

With the development at the old Footy Park site, they've recently(ish) done away with a section of Troubridge Drv (I think thats the one) so you have to go through West to get back to Frederick Rd.

As a compensatory measure they put in a U-Turn break on the Boulevard opposite the duck ponds, but theres 2 parking bays near it which if in use mean a 3-point turn is required. Just what you want on a main road :roll:

Reckon you're on to something. I'd just settled on the patio with a beer to admire my handiwork in the garden. Took less than 5 minutes for me to go back in and return with a mosquito coil. Where did these buggers come from, all of a sudden?
