Quokka2005 Posted December 1, 2015 Author Share Posted December 1, 2015 So if I can get through this job then it should be enough to pay for me to do the east coast with my friend that's in Darwin atm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quokka2005 Posted December 1, 2015 Author Share Posted December 1, 2015 Fingers crossed anyway! Our dates don't match up exactly because he's wanting to leave Darwin a bit earlier but I said I'd meet him somewhere on the east coast even if we don't start the whole thing together. Everybody in my Sydney group are doing it the now, I'm really jealous of their pictures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quokka2005 Posted December 1, 2015 Author Share Posted December 1, 2015 Keep trying to tell myself that when I see their pictures lol . a few have been moaning about the hostels the package picked. Used condoms lying around etc apparently. That was the main reason I didn't do the package. We're going to do it by car and use campsites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Playghirl Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Quokka, the campsites are a fun way to do it. Usually by a beach, surf club nearby for when you want a treat lunch/ night out! Glad you are liking the job so far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speakeasy Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I'm still finding the drink driving stuff hard because I've I'm really against that. And I've cringed at stuff about Muslims, gays etc but I did know it was likely to be like that. Just say your brother's gay. That should shut them up.

Diane Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 My daughter hired a car with a rooftop tent from Wicked Campers for a roadtrip here - said it was really great, and off the ground away from snakes/spiders too, which is always a plus. Glad to hear you're settling into the job, must be great to have a while where you're not packing up and moving every few days. Enjoy it and give as good as you get to the rowdy locals!

flag of convenience Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Just say your brother's gay. That should shut them up. What having the sister of a Queer bloke working at the local. That'll set of the tongues and rumour mongers in such an isolated corner of Empire, wagging for months. Not a lot to talk about in them parts. Any tit bit welcome among some of the 'bushies'.

Quokka2005 Posted December 2, 2015 Author Share Posted December 2, 2015 Yeah he's got one of those big cars, not a 4x4 but it looks bigger than a normal car. So he's debating wether to get a roof top tent for that or buy some dort of van thing with a bed in it. I'll leave it to him since I probably won't be able to join him right from the start unless I leave this job a bit early. I've never been camping before but should be more interesting than a hostel. Apparently the campsites you pay for tend to be really good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quokka2005 Posted December 2, 2015 Author Share Posted December 2, 2015 Im definitely not pretending I have a gay brother, they would probably shoot me! There was a UK program on about people with mental health issues and the guy I don't like said he would tie the noose for him. Disgusting. I'm going to have no tongue left from biting it.

I guess he was trying to sound helpful?? Some people relate better to cattle than to human beings. Or relate to human beings as if to cattle! They only know how to follow the herd. Just tell him that unbeknownst to him they don't actually lynch gays anymore. But in that thinking his views actually have more in common with islamic sharia law!

Quokka2005 Posted December 2, 2015 Author Share Posted December 2, 2015 Oh I'll just leave them all to it. The only time I'll say anything is if he speaks to me like crap one more time.

Although red necks/ockers what ever the latest jargon they go by are so darn easy to make fun off. I suspect Sydney Gays wouldn't give much thought to their supposed 'opposite' in kind though. Just amazing the Hill Billies in those country pubs would appear to do. Pub sounds like possibly in KO to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inform him any crap on your gender preferences, will likely see his little used part mutilated after being put through a wringer, once the rest of him resembles pulp.

HappyHeart Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Maybe you need to have a word with the old duffer. I'd be saying, I don't get paid to listen to your crap, wind your neck in when there's a lady present or some such thing while smiling sweetly and showing him your womanly charms.

Rossmoyne Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Stacey have you had a word with your boss about this chap.... it might be that he has a warped sense of humour and this is his way of winding you up and getting enjoyment. If so don't play into his hands and just grin at him whilst telling him he is an old sod, but lovely with it. You know you don't mean it, but said with a smile and a twinkle in your eye, he won't have any idea and might back off. Then of course he might be the town misery guts, in which case the problem is all his and nothing to do with you! I did say would meet some interesting characters didn't I?!
