Plook - 27-12-2023 at 19:05

Wow, awesome!

Eddie RUKidding - 27-12-2023 at 19:56

Thanks Plook, it is bitter sweet thou having to leave our (mrs Eddie and I) forever home, the 1912 historically listed former hospital "Château Eddie"- has been house since 1940 and is actually called "Reston" on the plaque or maybe its is a "plague, Dog Breath in the year of" on the front of the house and is even listed in the local a Council brochure...
We came to Cohuna in 2019 after a home invasion (guy got 4 years Jail), of our house in Sunbury- Mrs Eddie didn't like that too much, so I quit my job as Project Manager of Melbourne's Metro Rail project (15Bil project), found the Reston house and moved to Cohuna and sent an email to AWMA who are based in Cohuna and make Penstocks for OZ and NZ, who I knew of from my time in the water industry and got the Job with them a Regional Manager. All was good (apart from noisy unfriendly neighbours next door), until we arrived home from our first trip in our new Jayco caravan and from that all the plant, trees and shrubs up against said neighbour side fence had been cut off.......
We called the police thinking "what the fuck"- next door where questioned, photos taken and they denied any wrong doing. 6 months later just before covid lockdown the neighbours had Surveyors poking around their property. I asked the survey standing in front of our house what he was upto "oh nothing just doing a survey:, 3 months later we get a letter from the neighbours lawyer to pull down our garage and carport as well as the fence as it was 200mm out of alignment and we have 5 days to comply.........
Knowing something of adverse possession and fencing law I knew this was bulshit and engage a lawyer to tell them so. Here if fence has been in location for more the 15 years any title to misaligned land is voided, called adverse possession, also given the misalignment was relatively small courts would throw any such case out. Also the other fences on the crazy neighbours fences where also misaligned but in the other direction to the other two neighbours but that did not seem to matter to our crazy neighbour who has still not informed the other property owners of this "theft of land" lol I will let them know before we go.
No this is not the ended on the story, this is where it gets worse... Because we said (thru our lawyer) we would not pull down a garage (circa 1912) on the fenceline, or carport( circa 1970) near the fenceline, our neighbours proceed to assault us with loud music and noise for th elast 2 years, We have called the police (sounds like Joes garage), 15 times but because the police are based 30 km away and turn up 6-8 hours later, we have only been able to get them caught out recently and get a police warning- ie they play there rapp crap music for 6 hours straight at full vol and finally got caught. Our other neighbours have complained to the local council (also based 40km away) - who told them they can do nothing- call Gunnawarra Shire Council I call them Gunnadonothing Shire............ The loud music was just the start next door also started parking there cars (12 cars) in front of our driveway blocking access for a caravan to our property - I wrote to Gunnadonothing Council and they said they could do nothing........
Then next door took it upon themselves to rip down a 4m section of boundary fence behind our garage with a 150HP tractor without consent, I rang the cops they said from 40kn away sorry we can't attend at the moment as we are too busy, this was on the 8 July and they still have not showed up and I made the nuts noeghbours put the section of fence back and now its is held in place by ropes......... Luckily the section of fence was sturdy enough to take the bashing. Needles to say I issued a fencing notice on the neighbour to replace the fence- so far all they have offered to do a pay half- admission of guilt hey ;)
I can tell you now that I have sold the house the ropes can stay.............
Old pic when we moved in and before we has the roof repainted and $50k kitchen with $10K SMEG oven.........


Plook - 27-12-2023 at 20:31

That is insanity, what is wrong with people?

It's a good thing I did not come to visit you I may be old but I still have a little gas left in the tank and probably would have committed some crime that got me sent to Devils Island...lol...:lol:

Well now you are headed to greener pastures not withstanding the giant lobster Lobnobulax...:freak:

Eddie RUKidding - 27-12-2023 at 20:52

Thanks Plook, Its only Mrs Eddie that stopped me. Arsewipe next door (Bogan son), asked me to punch him during the fence pulling down facra- I told him he was not worth it, he also told Mrs Eddie "do you have any windows in your house, with a face let that, if you do they will all crack." I have a restraining order in against him. Lets see if a get any opportunity to take his lights out before I leave.........

The Giant lobster is now officially renamed from Larry to Lobnobulax :grin:

Eddie RUKidding - 1-1-2024 at 01:45

Have a good one everyone

Eddie RUKidding - 1-1-2024 at 07:38

Oh Damn, someone has just rung me from Geelong and is driving to Cohuna to buy my Hillman Hunter Safari Wagon on Thursday which I have owed for 12 years, will sad to see it go....

Will at least save trailering it 500Km to K'Town 😉

I suppose $8K is $8K

The link you posted is protected by login. I copied and pasted the other one and it worked. Classic car.

Eddie RUKidding - 1-1-2024 at 19:14

Thanks Poly- was tried to find pic of it online to post here, will be sad to see Hilly go.
I paid $4K for it in Adelaide 10 years ago from the second owner, first owner was from Victor Harbor. Its still on its original 1969 plates and has never been out of rego, it a classic. The pic is from the second owner who used it as they wedding car lol....
Hopefully it wont sell, Mrs Eddie has wanted it gone ever since I brought a 3rd car, a 2000 model "new" Beetle. Mrs Eddie does not drive so has a point when she says I have a 2 car limit lol.
Had been in the Gawler car club and Melb Rootes car club with it.........

Found another pic

BBP - 2-1-2024 at 07:23

Good morning and happy new year everybody!

Just got back from an extended stay with my boyfriend's - he arrived with us on Christmas day, we went to his place on the 27th, and went home on the 1st. In the wonderful past week I had 1 day of work, thank Christmas. BF and I went to the cinema - my first time since Miyazaki's output The Wind Rises - this time we went to the latest Miyazaki, The Boy With The Heron. Complex story, rich tale, quite beautiful.
At is place we went to play glow golf with the family - that's blacklight minigolf.

For NYE we went to my boyfriend's sister to light fireworks and to watch the fireworks from her roof.

Eddie RUKidding - 4-1-2024 at 19:55

Good news, the Hillman didn't sell ;D

The idiots who drove 5 hours to look at it, wanted something in concourse condition for $8k (4000 pounds) total W@nkers...
I explained on the phone and there are 8 pics of the car on the ad that it is in good original unrestored condition, as per the photo's a survivor car.......

Plook - 5-1-2024 at 00:22

Eddie that car looks good what did they think was so unacceptable?

Eddie RUKidding - 5-1-2024 at 06:04

Cause they were Car Club W@nkers- well at least one of them was..... He was wanting something show room cond!!. Yeah for 25-30K I could give them that....... :mad:
I'm just grateful they were and didn't make offer, it is Mrs Eddie that wants to sell it not me lol

BBP - 6-1-2024 at 11:36

Hurray, the car stays!


I'm having a rough week - this week I have to man the emergency phone at work. On my own. I have been on the job 3 months, but the emergecy phone was the reason I didn't really want to do this job.

Basically I got a laptop and phone from work and I should be available to call from 9 PM to 9 AM for 4 nights in a row - add to that the regular hours I have to make by day.


I have been lucky and haven't received any calls the first 2 nights, but the psychological effect of knowing you could be called out of bed any time by people with serious problems during their stay, cannot be ignored. I barely sleep a wink.

Eddie RUKidding - 6-1-2024 at 19:39

Sounds nasty on the Psychi, hope they and paying you well

BBP - 17-1-2024 at 00:02

AIVD Christmas puzzle done and dusted and handed in. Tried everything to complete that last question but didn't make it in time.

Back to life...

Eddie RUKidding - 17-1-2024 at 02:48

I'm have Beans for Lunch and blasting 10CC greatest Hits at the Bogans and hopefully some big farts too :D

polydigm - 17-1-2024 at 04:40

Cheese and corn chips here.

BBP - 19-1-2024 at 07:15

Today I will go to my boyfriend's again for the weekend. I'm a bit worried on how it'll go. Dad'll be on his own for 2 nights.

Plook - 19-1-2024 at 21:14

Go have fun Bonny...:)

Eddie RUKidding - 21-1-2024 at 16:33

Have the keys to the Vet house in K'town all going well with the move :cool:

BBP - 21-1-2024 at 23:21

Unfortunately I had to cut my stay short. Dad fell yesterday evening and injured his shoulder to the point that he can't use it.

Eddie RUKidding - 21-1-2024 at 23:36

Not good to hear

Plook - 22-1-2024 at 19:21

Sorry to her that Bonny, the key to aging is to not fall down, hopefully he will have a quick recovery.

Eddie RUKidding - 22-1-2024 at 20:19

My final full day living in the Big Cohuna today before the removalist come tomorrow morning for the final load up to the Big Lobster in Kingston se :biggrin:

polydigm - 23-1-2024 at 17:09

Bonny: Sorry to hear about Ed’s injury, wish him the best from us.

Eddie: Glad to hear your move is going well.

Eddie RUKidding - 23-1-2024 at 19:32

Thanks Poly, we have a 60m3 truck coming at 6am I hope that it is big enough for all my Zappa LP's - don't car about the house stuff lol

BBP - 23-1-2024 at 21:45

He's still not using his shoulder and I whish he'd talk to the doctor about it but he's not keen on more medical procedures.

Plook - 23-1-2024 at 22:41

Bonny how old is he if you don't mind me asking?

Plook - 23-1-2024 at 22:42

Eddie that is a big truck does everything go in one load?

BBP - 24-1-2024 at 19:40

He's 68. Tomorrow's the big hospital appointment.

Prediction - he won't get his procedure due to his shoulder. We'll see.

Plook - 25-1-2024 at 00:18

Fingers crossed.

polydigm - 26-1-2024 at 06:54

Eddie, we have a crazy amount of stuff. When we move to the UK, there will be some gnashing of teeth.

Bonny, best wishes to Ed.

BBP - 26-1-2024 at 07:24

Dad is in the hospital now. The doctors had an at length discussion if they wanted the scheduled procedure (stents in the knees for the aneurysmata) could go on because of his shoulder.

They decided they would as it's a relatively mild procedure, and they're keeping him there because of his shoulder and because they worry his fall may have been caused by a TIA. Also he was scolded for not calling a doctor about his shoulder.

Today's schedule contains talk with neurologist and X-rays.

Any Zappa LP's you need to offload lol I'm your man.

Will be going to UK to visit Mrs Eddies Grandkids, prob in June.

BBP - 27-1-2024 at 21:43

DED update: he's indeed had a TIA with no permanent damage (besides the shoulder and bruising of course).
The shoulder is broken at the rop of the humerus, the fracture looks nice and straight. Dad now has a sling to keep his wrist higher than his upper arm.

Doc also found his blood sugar level too high and he may be risking diabetes.

Dad's not a happy bunny.

Plook - 28-1-2024 at 02:33

All in all that is an alright outcome Bonny

polydigm - 28-1-2024 at 20:30

At least Ed’s in the right place for now. Good to hear some things are getting sorted.

Eddie RUKidding - 30-1-2024 at 11:20

Thanks Poly is getting better everyday- Carted the hillman on the weekend to K'town, next the old mans 1959 6x4 box trailer (complete with repacked FJ holden bearings ( I hope it makes it) and concrete mixer then just the 2000 model VW BUG to go lol

He got to go back home the day after he went in, after he had a lot of tests.

He's grumpy and seminally bored - now that I'm working I have no choice but to leave him alone for the better part of the day.

BBP - 2-2-2024 at 21:15

Voted for the "best" carnaval song. They're all semi-lethal. Every year!

polydigm - 3-2-2024 at 13:38

Just in case, Eddie, Ed is Bonny’s dad’s name.

BBP - 3-2-2024 at 19:15

Yeah knowing his off-beat sense of humour "Eddie are you kidding" is very apt.

Eddie RUKidding - 5-2-2024 at 10:12

I'm always kidding, back in Cohuna loaded up with the last load for awhile plan to spend the next 4 weeks at the beach :bald:

Plook - 5-2-2024 at 18:33

Awesome!

BBP - 5-2-2024 at 20:10

Some of you may have noticed a bit of a spam influx.

Reason - I made an account for a new member, so I set up a new account - and neglected to close sign-up.

Result? An hour of spam deleting I'll never get back.



What surprised me is someone bothered to make all these little bios that were put in, like "hi Im latoya amd my family and I are into metal detecting."

Eddie RUKidding - 5-2-2024 at 20:47

Henry - 5-2-2024 at 23:20

Hello I'm Henry and I'm not the owner of a Korean casino. Thanks for registering me Bonny and sorry that you had to go to so much trouble.

Hopefully an English member here will help to balance all the Australians going on about cricket all the time.:crying:

Eddie RUKidding - 6-2-2024 at 02:59

HI tulse good to see you here

polydigm - 6-2-2024 at 03:40

Welcome, Tulse. I was born in London, but have lived in Australia since the age of five. I'm half English and French, and permeated by Americanised media. I've always been an outsider here. Cricket is okay, but I'm not a big fan, as with pretty much all sport. I loved playing sport as a kid, but lost interest as an adult and don't watch it that often. The real football (soccer) is probably my favourite sport. I spent a year and a bit in England, 1991-92, during which time I met my wife. We've been together for over 31 years and been here in OZ since the end of 1992. In cricket, she still barracks for the English team. I've visited England for several weeks at a time, on seven occasions since 2010 and we're moving back to England permanently next year.

Plook - 6-2-2024 at 18:55

Hello Tulse, I am in American so I know nothing about cricket other than baseball may have been its red headed step child.


Hope you enjoy it here, you must be a keeper to make it past Bonny's gauntlet...:lol:

Welcome Tulse, glad you made it in!

That's an interesting mix of country influences that you have. It is a big move to return to England. What part of the country are you heading for? I left England twenty years ago but visit a couple of times per year.

Cheers Plook. Those interlopers amongst the new members the other day were something else.

I've been lurking a little bit and see that this forum has been around nearly twenty years. That is very impressive. Has Frank Zappa always been the main theme here?

Plook - 7-2-2024 at 18:44

Yes, many are refugee's from the Zappa Forum that was taken down in 2022.

Bonny was a member there also and invited many to join here which was very generous of her.

I hope you enjoy!

BBP - 7-2-2024 at 21:55

Yeah this forum was founded in 2005 by a young Zappa fan, when he wanted to end it a year later I decided to take it over to save the community that had formed, so we had a place to talk about Project/Object or the latest ZFT crackdown away from prying eyes. It's been quieter than the Zappa forum most times (unless they had issues or another crash), but it has always been active, and Zappa-centered.

The forum software is XMB, which has been replaced by PHPBB a long time ago. As this site basically does what it should do, we haven't given it any technical update since like 2010 or so. It would be nice to add some sort of better implemented CAPTCHA so we can open the sign-up again.

Pride and joy on here is the Interviews and Articles section, which among others hosts a lot of translated FZ interviews:

Greater London is just way too expensive, so we're looking at roughly fifty miles north of central London. One area that's looking possible is northern Essex.

It's also possible, further down the track, that we might move to France.

Where were you before and to where have you moved?

BBP - 10-2-2024 at 21:45

BF is with me for the weekend to celebrate carnaval and to help out. He's a sweetheart.

Eddie RUKidding - 11-2-2024 at 00:41

Unboxed the mancave stuff yesterday and setup the HIFI today and of course the first LP played on the Mantra was Chunga Revenge :cool:



Plook - 11-2-2024 at 02:48

Chunga is ready to spin...:cool:

polydigm - 11-2-2024 at 13:28

A satellite forum can be very useful, especially when the main one goes flakey. It is good that you kept it going all this time. That does indeed look like a good set of interviews and articles. I'll investigate them in due course. Strangely that subforum doesn't show up for me but I've bookmarked your link so it is a keeper.

I've been listening to Zappa for forty years but I'm not an aficionado. I've got a very wide interest in music so tend to be spread very thin, even amongst the very best. Still it does mean that I get to hear some classic albums for the first time rather late in life.

My next FZ purchase is planned to be Hot Rats. I presume that the Bernie Grundman mastered LP will be the best bet. Is that the general consensus here?

I'm from southern England, west of London, but work took me too close to Sh!t City and I was stuck there for 12 years before I could escape. I went from the hottest most polluted part of the UK by LHR to the coldest in NE Scotland. I'm still there for most of the year.

I had a tiny rundown farm in France for a few years in Champagne. The summers were hot and dry every year which was great in such a green area.

Eddie RUKidding - 11-2-2024 at 21:51

Any version of Hot Rats will be good

polydigm - 12-2-2024 at 08:01

@Henry: Northern Scotland? What’s the weather like up there right now?

Henry - 12-2-2024 at 17:14

Probably it is foul. Winter lasts from October until April. It isn't my problem though as I've been in the Canaries since the start of December. Unfortunately I can't stay much longer because since Brexit we are limited to 90 days every six months.

polydigm - 12-2-2024 at 18:03

It is very nice. I'm retired but I hike and I'm pretty exhausted much of the time. It does give me time for plenty of music and film.

Will you work when you get to blighty?

polydigm - 13-2-2024 at 18:11

We’ll both be retired, but I’m hoping to get a band together and do some gigs.

Eddie RUKidding - 14-2-2024 at 08:04

My old Asus PC finally died just got another Lenovo laptop and had to reset my password- lost the lost. Maybe I can get he old Azuz all in one PC to fire again to retrieve stuff lol

PS I'm really struggling with the new laptop screen maybe I need glasses :mad:

Plook - 14-2-2024 at 19:58

Eddie go to settings, then screen options, and set it to old man...:lol:

Eddie RUKidding - 14-2-2024 at 20:48

:swear:D Done thanks, also increased brightness can sort of see what i'm doing now lol

BBP - 14-2-2024 at 22:12

RIP old PC.

Back in the rat race. I have so little spare time left - maybe half an hour on working days - but I picked up one of my hobbies, knitting, again. Spent one month on a sock that wasn't finished.
Knitted thygh high stockings before and those took me about that long to make and it was a much harder pattern with cumbersomely long needles.

Discovered I made a bad mistake that would require pulling out over half of what I'd done so far.


Figured I'd start again all over. Don't want a repeat of my infamous vest that only older Zappa forumers remember. :D

Eddie RUKidding - 14-2-2024 at 22:29

Keep on Knitting, you could always do a reproduction of the knickers Zappa blanket (Panty Quilt) lol

London area sounds perfect for gigs. The jazz scene has taken off in the last few years. I've tried a few of the new artists online but haven't been too inspired so far. I need to dig deeper. What sort of music do you perform?

I'm all in for wool when travelling. Merino primarily. It is warm in cold weather and cool in hot and after several wears it doesn't smell and dries easily when it has an occasional wash. However it is so fine that I'd imagine the home knitter would be 'knitting one, purling one' for an eternity just to get a cuff done.

Good news I got the 10+ year Asus PC to fire up and got my data, lucky I'm thinking :drool:

Hurray Eddie, good going!

I need to start up my old laptop as well, it needs a new battery. You know it's a tiny one that needs to go somewhere in the laptop, but I haven't figured out where yet.

At least I backupped recently so I won't lose that much of value.

Eddie RUKidding - 15-2-2024 at 21:19

CMOS battery I'm guessing - at least you have a backup :cool:

Zappa influenced prog? I'd come and watch if you were in my area. Sounds pretty good. It'll be interesting to follow you as you get established in London.

Henry, it’s always nice to get positive feedback, cheers. Frank Zappa is my favourite composer, but King Crimson, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Stravinsky, Varèse and a certain style of jazz are also major influences.

Eddie RUKidding - 17-2-2024 at 19:40

and Don't forget Eddie :bouncing:

This might be a small forum but it is concentrated with high powered creators. I have nothing to offer unfortunately, I'm just a consumer.

The most noteworthy thing that has happened today is that I have been informed that one of my nieces has become a nephew.

BBP - 18-2-2024 at 12:12

Having a relaing weekend.

Except I cycled for 45 minutes to the second-hand store and nearby supermarket, to find that I forgot my wallet. :swear:
Seriously since Dad landed in ICU last year my brain's been worse.

My bastard neighbours in Cohuna are at it again, even thou I'm now living in a new house 500km away they are still at it.

Yesterday morning we get a phone call from the old neighbour across the street that she has received a text message from Rachel the Bastard neighbour that late the night before she had seen someone with torches in our empty Cohuna house for sale and that her son (the Bastard Darcy- who verbally abused Mrs Eddie was away with his girlfriend).
No 1 They did not directly report this to the police, which left us to do it the next day over the phone from 500km away. took 4 hours of calls to get the bastard police to respond.
No 2 we did not need to know that Darcy was away with his girlfriend - I bet it was Darcy how broke into the house.

Upshot nothing was taken from the house but the back door was unlocked- looks like someone got in thou a window, Police are dusting the place for finger prints and real estate will keep close eye on house and bastards next door.
Good news thou we have 2 interested parties looks to buy the house.......... and professional photos will replace the existing shots- some I took shortly :mad:

Sorry to hear about that Eddie, but I'm glad you have two interested parties!

Now they have poured Oil on our Driveway .............
Luckily our real estate agent Lexene is tough and is making them pay for professional cleaning of the driveway........


The nightmare continues

What are the logistics for getting a restraining order on a neighbour. Particularly if they had to be a minimum of 500 metres away.
