Yubby's outback adventures

[yubbywelch]

collected a pigeon yesterday.

and 3 hrs from home $900 of fines. ooops

[MissWinnie]

$900 bro?

What were you doing? Attempting to break the land speed record or something?

[yubbywelch]

Nah.

True story, honest.

I was 1 hr in and I filled up with fuel and I checked the pressure of my tyres, I then noticed my rego was out of date by 2 months.

I wondered why I hadn't received my renewal notice, but thought I must of not changed my address,when I got this car and changed the ownership.

It was about the same time my wife and I broke up. And of course we sold the house a couple of months later.

Anyway 6 hrs later this policemen checked my car as I drove past and it came up as unregistered. He was just doing his job, but I was hoping for leniency.

[yubbywelch]

But seriously how many times have the police heard I just found out this morning...

But it was the truth, and with a 10 hr drive and only 1/2 hr to play with, I wasn't going to try to fix the rego pior, but I had an hour after the school pick up which is when I had planned to renew the rego.

Sorry to hear that yubby. 900 is harsh! You can buy a car for that.

[MissWinnie]

Easily done Yubby, especially when you have a lot going on and moving home etc. As you say though, the oop will have heard it a thousand times before ... no way of telling who is genuine or not.

What bad luck that you'd been driving round like that for 2 months without a peep then the day you find out and plan to renew it then ... busted! Ouch!

[yubbywelch]

Tis all good.

I'm not angry or bitter, and funny enough apart from the obvious, I've actually learnt other things from the experience

[yubbywelch]

Last tour, I was working along side a lot of conveyor belts carrying coal to the main wash plant, and on this occasion I was servicing hose reels along a belt that had its walkway partially covered with coal.
Now as I was walking up a small incline I saw a large piece of coal sway, and as I passed the coal I paused and turned to look at the swaying coal which turned out to be a crow.
I called out to the coal like crow, which didn't move. Was he dead? had he been hit in the head by a piece of coal? was he sleeping? So I clapped my hands and yelled, this time the semi conscious crow half opened his eyes, and had a little look around, oblivious I was even there, even though I almost stood on him seconds ago and now stood 1 metre away.
The third time I stomped my foot clapped my hands and yelled, this worked the crow awoke startled, and within seconds realised he was looking straight at this odd looking coal miner.

Twas very very funny, and I wish I had of recorded it.
