Salvos at Central will do Lyle, week old Railway Pies served there. Yes, the less fortunate, It does make you sad. We have to appreciate our good fortune. Here we are annoyed that we can’t go cruising. Aren’t we spoiled. I WANT MY GRAND SUITE!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russell21 Posted August 11, 2020 #302 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Speaking of the old peoples Palace, if my memory serves me right it was on the eastern side of George St near the Central Station end, opposite what is now The Great Southern Hotel. If so, it is now all backpacker accommodation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quarantine? I may have a long time to "train" as I won't be leaving Canada if there are quarantines. That being said I am well trained in beer quaffing, I know how to properly taste wine but really don't understand the lingo (I just like it or not). And I'm afraid that I would be a failure at the Scotch or Bourbon relay, but would do well with Rye (Canadian) whiskey or even the Rum run (without the run part).

One of them in Medical Science. Is that scientific enough for you? And no, I am too busy doing my own research in medical areas at the moment to do environmental research. But I'll take your answer as an admission that you do not have peer reviewed academic sources to back your claims. only 4 . you need another 4 .. so you have time to post on here but no time to do your own research into cruise company behaviour .. ok no probs lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Government never disappoints when there is cash involved. History will show plenty of examples of this behaviour. i offered them 5 bucks to each of them in brown paper bag or a aldi one .. but they wanted 6 bucks each and free lunch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps your physiotherapist can help you with that😁 it was fine when I still had the multiple canulas in place. One for the drip, one for the drugs, one for drinkies.

Mention of the Peoples Palace brings back memories of a bloke I knew who worked for a government department in Newcastle some years ago. When they came to Sydney for work (meeting/conference or the like) they were paid a per diem to cover their expenses, including for driving down & back & their hotel & meals. The bloke was a bit of a character & would get the train & stay at the People's Palace & generally spend as little as he could, and then take home the 'profit'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the same thing in a few jobs when I got per diem fees, get by at lowest cost possible and increase my take home. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russell21 Posted August 11, 2020 #323 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Read somewhere in the past few days that there is an attempt to get approval for a fast ferry service between Botany Bay and Sydney Harbour. How does that grab you Rod? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
in rod we trust Posted August 11, 2020 #324 Share Posted August 11, 2020 what about that container ship that got caught out in the rough weather dropped all those container's overboard . imagine if a cruise ship was in yarra bay on the weekend it would of ended up on the beach stuck. or if a explosion happened at the port less than 100 mtrs from the proposed cruise dock.. here is couple pics one of all the facemasks from a container that was towed into hawkesbury that broke apart and 8 days ago a small boat had eng probs at mollineaux point .. its about the dumbest idea to put a cruise ship in yarra bay or any where near those gas storage containers.. accidents always happen's and there have been few gas leaks there in the past. its only getting older them storage tanks even more dangerous .

How does that grab you Rod? yeah there is another stupid idea.. no parking anywhere . bad transport , and too dangerous for a ferry there .. the old wharf got washed away in a storm . i can imagine people getting on a ferry to yarra bay lol its going to be one hell of a ride for them , that wharf will need so much maintaining if it ever happens . why do ya think they never ever put one back in .. i think the last ferry to go there was 1967 . this is just more dumb politicians that have no clue how dangerous that place is and take away the focus on there bad records and rorts but in saying all that id rather a ferry wharf there than a massive cruise terminal thats for sure Edited August 11, 2020 by in rod we trust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
