#324209 Marine Again?

Posted by shayne on 11 August 2014 - 10:24 PM

beautiful fish,not familiar with that one,more northen indo pacific waters i guess.MM check out the museums guide to marine and esturinefishes of the sw. You know im a luddite and cant do the link thing,i describe the local ones as sort of like a mini wobbegong, another amazing animal to meet whilst diving,usualy sleeping you really have to be checking out the caves/grottos

#308720 Bigger Shark Bites The Big Shark!!!

Posted by shayne on 19 February 2014 - 02:47 PM

have always had trouble with the idea that hammerheads are maneaters, i have caught and eaten approx 120 of these over the years. great fght, very strong and fast but they fumble the bait and take 2 bites at least out of a bait any whaler or tiger whoud swallow all the way to its as@@##. having said that i have never dealt with one over 2meters  and some men on the rigs claim they have seen them strike dummies during demonstrations

Posted by shayne on 24 January 2014 - 04:37 PM

gday all. recently got some murray cod. [thanks malawiman ] have 5 juvies in a 4x18 and there pumping. have a 6x18 and 2 ibc"s { previously grew barra to a kilo and ahalf before i swore never to keep a outdoor pond warm again } waiting for them. but today i agreed to buy 2 3000 ltr aquaponics ponds. 2nd hand and a good price i think. the missuss is furious!!!!  {14 tanks in the shed  5 on the patio and im not allowed any inside } i will be trawling the forums and possibly asking some dumb questions  but hey thats how you learn.  so what do                          you reckon people??  optimism? forward planning or a looming divorce case??

 

 

 

 

might be the wrong thread but i would like to thank a couple of forum members i dealt with this week. thanks kane the grandkids are rapt with the great wall,and im pretty happy with the bumblebee!!                    sutester i hope you see this. you showed me,  great beauty, great knowledge and much kindness thank you all :ThanxSmiley:

#300478 Officer "not Guilty"??

Posted by shayne on 19 November 2013 - 07:45 PM

shane 088 i was being rhetorical not literal. klienz were you posting without paying due care and attention??? doing 25 is evidence of nothing except doing 25.  she could have been accelerating decelerating or just  woken up from the average idiots stupor by a blast on the horn,putting down her phone/lippy/coffee etc [ back to accelerating but also due care and attention ] love your last line.. pure gold couldnt agree more. fuggers i wasnt focussing on the officer but agree with the rest wholeheartedly..  




#300464 Officer "not Guilty"??

Posted by shayne on 19 November 2013 - 05:25 PM

complicated issue, i thought from the very begining she should be charged with [ driving without due care and attention ] the evidence she was driving at approx 25km didnt seem to be contested. what was she doing ? talking,txting,makeup,or paying attention to passenger not the road?? more and more people claim they dont hear emergency vehicle sirens, turn down your music.put down your phone and pay attention!!!




#299444 Mole Crickets

Posted by shayne on 07 November 2013 - 06:37 PM

gday waxy, sorry mate not much to add. friends suggested you email sabrina hahn. a local garden guru but a little less commercial than most. im not computer literate enough to find links and stuff [1 finger pecker, last centuries man ]  she has a column in saturdays west but they suggest you find the address for her radio slot, twice weekly on 720 abc they think that has a quicker turnaround on queries. frogs alone  wont do the job i have huge numbers of them and i realy dont think they help much. but dont step between a bandicoot ,a mole cricket ,cochroach or a chicken bone
