I reckon you have probably identified the issue here. I realise they’re protected and all but if their number have boomed and we start having fatalities maybe it’s time to pull the croc population back a bit. All potentially contentious, a la the brumby situation in the NSW/VIC high country.

Two wrongs don’t make a right -agreed. This was one guy’s way of solving a problem. It could’ve been worse e.g. someone killed by the idiots, or they bought it.

Lol, yes I think your grandfather was on the money. This also reminds me of a Redditor’s story of years past where local cretins repeatedly drove over their mailbox, destroying it. Major, surreptitious mailbox engineering works were undertaken, involving rebar and concrete, all concealed within the flimsy mailbox structure. The deception was truly a work of art. One night, about a week hence, a revving engine was heard, followed by a sickening crunch as the front end, sump, etc., of the dipshit’s car is entirely destroyed by the hidden steel and concrete! Someone had a very expensive lesson that night.

….some rocks or lumps of concrete behind the shrubs until they’re established. They’ll only try it once!

A variation of Escape Room comes to mind.

What a nob. Can’t recognise help and expertise on offer and burns his bridges to the ground.

Lol, this reminds me of a commonly used acronym at a past employer: SEP (someone else’s problem).

These guys would set the dance floor on fire at the local.

I think you’ll see additions and extensions when political imperatives demand it.

That’s enough internet for today thanks very much!

I think we have the case licked!

Amazing work. It looks great. All I can think of is maybe adding a retractable pergola to allow use in bad weather. The downside is they’re not cheap.

My suggestion would be to discuss those hot button issues after dinner/when the kids are out of earshot (in bed), turn the TV off if that helps. Never have heavy-duty discussions in the bedroom when going to bed. Not only does it kill any mood, it creates stress which is counter-productive to getting off to sleep.

Tragic. This reminds me of those stills of people getting swept over Nevada Falls. No commonsense.

I used to think the film crews ate the food after the shoot. Nope!

Together four years, married eight months. It’s ain’t very long and you have a child to consider. Marriage is about communication, respect and compromise. I’m not reading any of that here. It seems like you’re quitting when the going gets tough. He’s not violent or abusive. He’s pulled his finger out and is trying to help out now (better late than never). I suggest it’s worth persevering, talk to each other, show respect and be prepared to give a little (he should reciprocate). Just my observation from what you’ve said and personal experience. Good luck.

I often look at the scuff marks on concrete road barriers and wonder how they came about. Inattentive drivers, for a start.

Unbeatable water frontage. Don’t let this opportunity float away! Enquire now.

If someone is mad or stupid enough to drive down the footpath, I definitely would be keeping out of their way, and try to warn anyone else to do the same.
