I meant bare feet (give it a whirl around 3 this arvo), of course shoes would be ok, very hard to install over 32c trying to hammer in the anchoring nails with a pair of big workers gloves on.
Won't even start on the grazing aspect of playing any sort of backyard sport.


Maybe you should invest in a pair of TIG welding gloves, might help you out.

They brought Nick Gill in, they wanted a "blokey" show, so she was replaced.

I went through a 26 hour outage about 10 years ago, had to apply for compensation then they sent you a cheque in the post. Takes a couple of weeks to come through...

Sometimes demonstrating your skill with chopsticks impresses the chicks. ;)

Many years ago I went to a 10 course Chinese banquet organised by a Chinese colleague of mine and had chopstick training before attending. It is all in getting the grip right in the first place.

It’s not called compensation it is an automatic payment for inconvenience caused. The amounts are set under the legislation starting at about $90 for 12 hours and going up I received $396 for 36 hours a couple of years ago.
SA Power Networks do this automatically but are not quick they say allow 3 months.

Mine was out for 17 hours and I've thrown everything out of my fridge and freezer.

I had 3 whole crayfish, 2kg of prawns and various expensive cuts of meat ;)
