You owe an apology to Ruby2... I'm more than happy to relay patsifal's posts as she seems to know what went on too

so this was your answer to reasonable questionsof what damage can be expected if a Cat 4 crosses the coast near you and wherewould you accommodate if your house was damaged or destroyed
AND how long to rebuild and who would do it (youavoided both of those totally)
pinny
"IF, a cat 4 crossed near your patch of the coast -"
sorry dear my like does not include the iffactor
I live in the real World
So, there we have it --------- it's just 'not possible' inyour mind - even though the GC has had cyclones in the past AND the risk is nowincreased - warmer waters right where you are AND cyclones, whilst predictedless in number - are predicted to be more intense ----------- but, in your head--------------- not possible
cat 4 cyclone
you dont understand or know bugger all about cyclones dear, do you, comrade
and that comment means what? --------- thatyou do know, and I do not? ------ Since I arranged a fair portion of theevacuation of Darwin AND flew in there for months soon after - that experiencealone tells me that I know at least a little --------- but ,thanks for yourtotally useless comment
tell us where you would expect toaccomodate if your house burned down
are you or your union comrades
threating me, with your talk of burning my house down ?
FYI.......... move, into my caravan andtake a holiday or a 104 day World Cruise
which we may latter in the year
well, at least we got a real answer there - yourcaravan - and yes, I think that's a reasonable backup - assuming it's notdestroyed and if so, you could get a replacement - you may well not be able tostay in your area though - because the demand would be astronomical if therewere major damage - you'd be in thequeue with everyone else
or if the house wasn't a write off
demolish the house and build 2 new duplexes, as the Council has approvedthis
who would do this 'demolishing'? - in a trades shortage crisis - and whowould do this 'build'? and just how long do you expect to wait for this'build'?
anything else you would like to know sweeties
like what we had for lunch and drinks and which Restaurant, what was the Billwhere we visited
or //////''
as above
yep - who would do your duplex building in a trades shortage crisis and howlong do you think you'd have to wait - seeing that people near you are waitingYEARS for house replacements in the latest storms

This is a classic and really makes me want tothrow up :
"Since I arranged a fair portion of theevacuation of Darwin AND flew in there for months soon after..."
Truth be told, he WAS in Darwin at the time -slept right though Tracy - in nice comfortable, undamaged army barracks - thenwas assigned to assist in the traffic control of vehicles leaving Darwin in thedays after.
They were then sent on R&R then came back onrotation to continue the clean-up.

Thanks for your contributions, Parsifal -appreciated !
I'm very sensitive about the utter bs.
He accuses me (and every other who mightdisagree with the almighty) - of lies.
I was there - before, during and after - Ididn't get R&R til March.
I do know what it was all about.
