1) How can your air con run out of coolness lol. You termed it funny you! 2)Luke i remmeber i was at work and heard this old bitch say to her friend "so those shonky arabs got what was coming to them, as soon as i saw them using water after hours i rang the water police and they caught them". I was like "wtf, you f**king racist bitch, and its none of your business what they do with their water f**king whore". I wish i could have said that to her face, but i was in uniform damnit! A big problem up here at the moment is non english speaking residents don't even know we are in a water crisis. So a lot of them are still hosing their gardens and having 30min showers. Yet if we say something then we are called racist. Well to tell you the truth i would rather be called a racist then be parched with thirst. Dob anyone in i say who's F**king with the water supply |

^ Are u serious wow ok no more whinging on water lol  Unfortunatley it's true. The grass and flowers are mostly dead and in July they are cutting water pressure to homes down so we will have to shower under a trickle of water and we will eventually be drinking recyled water from the sewerage! The useless government should seriously lock the doors on QLD until they sort this bloody mess out. More people = LESS f**kING WATER!!!!! Agreed!!!!!!! Stop this mad shift of population now!!!!!!! |

Yet if we say something then we are called racist. Well to tell you the truth i would rather be called a racist then be parched with thirst. Dob anyone in i say who's f**king with the water supply I agree. I remember in the last water crisis a few years ago, when the Hinze dam on the Gold Coast was at about 22%. We had severe water restricitions with allotted days each week to water. Mum's neighbour over the road, used to absolutely soak her grass and garden on these days.....hosing for hours on end. One day myself and my brother were around there, and we were sitting on the front verandah having a cool drink and talking. I commented on how insane it is, that the city is running out of water and this stupid mole is drenching her flowers.... I also managed a remark that, if we were all dying of thirst, at least we could die in the knowledge that her flowers were beautiful... This neighbour happened to work up at the local state school where my Mum works. Turned out she heard what we were saying, and she was not impressed... she told my Mum it was her right to water her garden..........I say... what a tosser!!! It is her DUTY to conserve this precious commodity to insure that everyone equally has a right to share in a refreshing glass of water. It's selfishness like this, that will be the demise of our society... mark my words. Our country became great, not by many seeking their own goals. But by many working together for a strong and stable land. P.S. Air Conditioning is a burden on the electrical system, I worked for Energex I should know. It's the air cons of Australia, that are putting extra load on generation stations to increase the power output. Which in turn increases green house gases. If you wish to save the planet. Turn off the air con. Ride a pushy instead of driving everywhere while you're at it too. |

The useless government should seriously lock the doors on QLD until they sort this bloody mess out. More people = LESS f**kING WATER!!!!! ouch! that sounds F**king terrible - and I'm picky already, I went to Sydney and I could not STAND their tap water, i tried whenever i could to buy bottled water, because Sydney tap water tastes so revolting - I imagine when you guys have to start drinking treated sewerage it won't exactly be the most refreshing, clear tasting glass of water you've ever had... I feel really bad for you guys, but hey Melbournians - look out! As much as I hate to accept it, they will be our restrictions in 6-12 months! and Stormster - that woman sounds like what arise was talking about, she probably drenches the shit out of her garden in the correct hours, but 1 minute after and she'll call the police on her Arab neighbors. |

the timing restrictions are pointless. people water MORE than normal because they go "oh shit, we have to drench everything between these times" even if the garden don't require a watering.
There needs to a be a quota of water, determined by number of people in the house and things like that. If you exceed the amount of water you are given for the week/fortnight whatever, then your water pressure is dropped.
None of this timing bullshit.

I think it's MADNESS that all homes aren't fitted with watertanks and the bloody useless government should pay for every one of them.

P.S. Air Conditioning is a burden on the electrical system, I worked for Energex I should know. It's the air cons of Australia, that are putting extra load on generation stations to increase the power output. Which in turn increases green house gases. If you wish to save the planet. Turn off the air con. Ride a pushy instead of driving everywhere while you're at it too. hey Dave, yeah save the planet etc but die in the heat! My house is very hot like an oven without air con or fan on my pets would die/ I don't take a car anywhere I walk it or ride. I think if everyone had the same values as you the planet would be better off but don't ya think its already ruined by more than green house gases ? I know each bit helps but I ain't dying of heat here so will have my air con on thanks  |

As a people, we have to start making huge changes. This planet is going to turn to shite, if we don't pull our fingers out. When everyone says....oh, one more car isn't going to hurt....blah blah blah,...it's not right. It does have an affect.
People and animals have survived for thousands of years, without all these modern conveniences. It's time we learn to conserve, not plunder the resources.
The planet can survive without us, but we cannot without it.
Humans are crap tenants...
We're definitely not getting our bond back from God...

I reckon the residential water restrictions are largely just political bollocks to make it look like they're doing something about it. Not doing the right things about it, by the sounds of it GRRR... so much short-sightedness...
Hey Arise, that shift to the Qld must be all the non-smokers ; p

When i commented on that stupid bitch at work saying she called the water police on the arabs, i didnt intend for all this convo to start up. I guess i should reiterate, she basically said it in such a tone that the only reason she called the police was because they were arab, she just needed them to step out of line a little bit to have a reason to call them. I dont see watering the plants as a big deal, provided its done at dawn or dusk and only minimal water use. Wat i do have problems with are those that take showers for more than 5 minutes. Seriously, do you need to? Or those that brush teeth with water running.

It's like this...Australia is the most dry of all the continents on earth. Any squandering of precious life sustaining resources is a complete snub to everyone. Only in this insane world would we piss and shit into fresh drinking water.... |
