Sending my ex Mrs of 10 years some flowers. She's an accountant and I've been very slack with declaring my tax. The ATO has been chasing me for the last few years.

The ex sorted it all out for me with no fuss and bugger all input from me. My filing system is a total ******* mess.

It's a really good feeling when the mother of your children still cares for you after 10 years of separation.

Cheers!

Was the victim of an assault in 2010 and I put in a claim for victims of crime comp. Wasn't able to get it as my injuries weren't enough - I was just under the financial threshold to claim which I believe was $8k.

Hear nothing about it for 5 years and I get a letter in the mail saying they have reviewed all past cases and they want my permission to give me $6,500. Of course.

The guy who sucker punched me from behind is now deceased according to the paperwork - perhaps he messed with the wrong type of people after me....

I put it behind me but it did make me feel good today

Bloke was walking behind the water cart, it was empty but flicked the pump on quickly. Watching him in the rear vision Mirror, hear the noise, look over his shoulder and **** bolting over the windrow for nothing to come out made my day. Still laughing to myself 10 hours later!

Without going into too much detail.. i was cruising around with my stepson and got let off by the NSW HWY patrol

I've said it before and i will say it again "Cops are Tops" they wanted to know all about my BIG brakes V their Brembos what the race numbers on my windows meant and where to get the carbon wrap on the bonnet for his own car...

I was wearing one of my AFF shirts and i gave him the heads up to join here for future mod advice

Didn't even run my licence just called it what it was , a momentary brainfade...





But wait for it








Then i got home and without thinking, i took all my clothes off and went to sit on the recliner...

My stepson already sitting on the lounge beside his mum just looked at me horrified and said "Well now this is awkward"

I nearly died and my wife nearly wet herself from laughing in fact i think she is still going ?

FML ... i never wear clothes around the house...and he will never forget this day i'm sure ... brainfade indeed !
