Rechristened Frog Taxis, I believe.

I'd love to get a mod to edit the thread title to say (Sharks swimming in the streets).

Something tells me that'd get a lot more yanks in here :lol

The title. :lol :lol

Rosalie resident Jeff has come down to help take equipment out of shops.

"The rate it's coming up is just incredible," he said.

"We've got the alcohol, the wine, so all the important stuff."

I'd rather sharks than blue bottles. If they got in the street it would be like a minefield.:lol

Fuck that was quick. The mods are sneaky - you don't know they're around, but they're just beneath the surface, ready to strike (kinda like bull sharks).

I've never been more proud to be Australian :')

That's not true.

You also have to put up with music from Dizzee Rascal.

That is quite a burden. Puts our problems in perspective.

Well actually, those deadly spiders are quite the conversational type, once you get to know them. I once had a golden orb called Steveo and he kept my room nice and dandy from all those pesky flies and mosquitos.

We are also exploding our boardwalk.

I imagined you gently strumming a guitar to this post.

but i can always ram pencils through my eardrums if it gets too much. i'm rather keen on keeping my limbs attached to my body.

 

[Darklord]

No, Melbourne's on a constant rotation of seasons each week.

I watch a bit of AFL from Melbourne - more like a constant rotation of seasons each hour.

I looked up golden orb spider, i shall never leave old blighty, the white cliffs of Dover are the closest i shall ever get to the southern hemisphere.

 

[Fusebox]

Sharks in the fucking streets indeed, shit just got real.

They used to love making webs between all the trees in my old front yard and sometimes I'd walk through them in the dark, it was a freaky feeling.

But it doesn't come close to sharks in the street, as if the rest of the world needed any more proof how deadly our fauna is...

 

[_Alkaline_]

I just had a person on facebook update his status to A Bull Shark spotted in a flooded street in Goodna, QLD .... This is staggering stuff. is this true!!!

We're through the looking glass here people.

 

[Sew]

Golden orbs aren't dangerous. Talk your ear off though, fuck.

 

[Salazar]

This side of things is pretty average, too.

RAW sewage is spewing into the Brisbane River after treatment facilities broke down upstream.

Lord Mayor Campbell Newman said much of the sewerage infrastructure upstream from the Brisbane area had been damaged and treatment plants had been inundated with water.

"What that means bluntly is raw sewage is going into creeks, streams and the Brisbane River," he said.

Ugh, I hate orb webs so much, they are so strong.

Good luck over the next few hours guys. I hope you make daylight.

What about the Welsh?

 

[dejay]

From a Sydney perspective, the whole of Queensland is effectively cut off from supplies from the South. Because Brisbane is a major transport hub pretty much everything coming from the south goes through it (or should I say, went through it). The transport companies we use aren't taking any road freight bound for any parts of Queensland.

Our company's financial end of year is this month and we were getting ready for a big sales push and Qld was a major target but I guess sales our our product (ironically outboard engines and personal water craft) will be well down as people rebuild rather than buying recreational power sports products. The economy is gonna take a sizeable hit in the short term.

Agree with that, id hate to be scared as fuck going for a shit the worst it gets here is a bee sting.:lol

 

[viciouskillersquirrel]

Lovely.

Happens during every major flood. It sounds gross, but in flood conditions, the sewage is so diluted by the time it even gets to the plant that it really doesn't have much of an effect on public health to release it directly into the river, especially with all the crap floating in the river anyway.

Make no mistake, the sewage isn't going through the plant - it's going past it. Otherwise, you break the chemical processes at work in the plant and it can't operate after the flood is over.

 

[Alex Connolly]

Bull sharks, holy hell. I used to work with a girl whose friend was mauled by a pack of bull sharks on North Stradbroke. She was dragged out of the water alive, but didn't make it.

So, a few of them nosing about suburbia...certainly sends shivers up my spine.

Hope all GAFers and their families in the area are okay.

 

[Shaneus]

Metaphoricaly AND literally.

Terrible floods creating the deadliest soup the world has ever known or Tom Jones, take your pick.

 

[Sew]

Yeah, my old man dives a lot and says they're a nasty shark. They'll rip into anything they see - people, truck tyres, whatever.

 

[chicko1983]

:lol :lol :lol @ thread title change

seriously hope it doesnt hurt anyone.

 

[akachan ningen]

It already did. 12 people and a bunch of cane toads died.

Not so bad, then, but it still sounds pretty awful.

I think he was talking specifically about the shark.

Fuck the cane toads though.
