That's a nice intention but you still have to have copyright to post an image on this forum.

Posting a link to an image, I don't have a problem with. If you were to post the link and say how great the images are and how much you liked the "Closed" sign one then, fine.

But our FAQ has a section on this, regardless.

Cheers.

I've begun to really wonder what people think of our FAQ and I doubt it really is a bunch of Frequently Asked Questions but rather a bunch of Fucking Annoying Queries.

Unfortunately, such is life for a forum these days.

Oh well, back on topic.

Nice pictures there! 8)

Greg,

I think that this one (in bold) is of interest in this instance:

I read that as saying that we would need to publish their rules within any such posting here.

That said, the direct posting was still not in compliance with our rules here, which I feel do take a little bit of precedence, and I thank ozczecho for his prompt attention to and correction of this issue. :)

Hang those bastards from the highest yardarm who sold out the people of NSW. Do it twice for the desalination plant we dont require which Scully is organising so we can all pay more for water and wreck the enviroment.

Couldnt agree more...roads, planning and infrastructure have gone to the dogs. The desalination plant is just the latest in a run of expensive disasters....

You wonder what they wasted all that $1billion in extra property stamp duty on they made each year for the last two years? And still I have to pay to drive to my mate Birddy's place!! Obviously NSW Government cars don't pay (or the blokes inside don't). I better not get started on how our last Premier doesn't drive. I don't trust an aussie male over 18 without a licence, how would he have picked up girls? You need a licence in NSW because there is bugger all public transport.

Or kids.

And Bob The Builder has even less sporting interest than I do.

Atr least he can read, and speaks as if he's intelligent though, which is more than we can say for some of the other rabble in Macquarie St and Canberra.

Bob also now is on 1/2 mil a year from Macbank, who just happens to be one of the largest owners of infrastructure (roads) etc in the world and especially this state. Seems coincidental. That must be why I pay to drive anywhere!

Bob and his mates have done well in selling NSW. By 2007 we will be paying for more then just roads....

Roads, water, etc. When I retire I wont be able to afford to live here, seriously. I know of a one man earthmoving contractor who regularly spends over $100 a day in tolls. Hard to pass that on to your clients. Imagine the conversation, " Hi client, the job was $4k, took a week, plus $500 for tolls!"
