Went down to Sheps hill this arvo to a disturbing site.

(nigel, not sure if you can pass this info on to anyone)

I got to the hill to find a tilt tray truck (greystaynes recovery service) near the back fence........the thing was, this bloke had gotten bogged, and did a hell of a number to the little access way at the back.

he had to call another towtruck from the same company to pull him out, only to continue to do more damage.

not trying to dob people in, but i enjoy going there as do all of you on this board, i just don't want to see the site destroyed and closed.

Yeah, I saw them there late yesterday afternoon and figured they'd gotten bogged.

I had to have a little chuckle though, because it reminded me of a new years eve many years ago when one small courier truck went into the radar field (when it was still accessible) and got bogged in the soft stuff. He called a work mate who brought his truck. Well he drove into the grass on the way to the first truck, but stopped about 20m short....bogged.
So the two of them called in a third truck. You can guess the story from here. That's right, 3 trucks bogged.
So, a fourth truck was called in, but this last guy had some brains and parked on the asphalt, got out some chain and one by one pulled them all out.

I can see a Monty Python scene about a castle and a swamp...

Default Terrorists aren't that dumb!

We can all be confident that they were harmless - terrorists are normally smart with a clever plan - these guys sound like they were just plain dumb!

Sorry Philip, can't agree

Look at the guy in Times Square a while back.

Default Different

Getting bogged in Times Square would be a bit more suspicious, wouldn't it?
