Buy off the plan with your superannuation and then watch your money lose value and get stuck with a lemon property because it was over valued to begin with.
But they told me they got the good oil on YouTube and a podcast from an expert...that's after wanting me to help them with bailout loans

Much truth in the old adage, if it seems to good to be true ...it probably is.

Except the injuries are usually on the minor side…

Explosives ?
They were never cheap !
It used to be a 1 week license to print money, but more regulation has come in and only an 8hr window to sell.
They still sell by the truckload though.
Let’s go BIG !

Fond memories! A mate of mine dropped a bunger into an empty jerrycan. Ended up with no eyelashes and a very interesting hairdo.

Yep, the Milk Bar was the source of our weaponry too, go down there to buy your explosives of choice and then nip into the Fish and Chippery next door to get your three potato cakes for 5 cents.

You just don't know who or what is behind the door and what danger exists with what they are given.
Same concern occurred to me which I failed to mention in one of my previous mental meanderings on this topic. Fortunately all the kids I saw roaming the streets in all manner of costume were accompanied by an adult, and being a country town most folks in the area know each other. But... it does worry me when kids go out by themselves, sad reality is that (in bigger cities/towns in particular) behind some doors danger could lurk.

Remember the double bunger, with the wick coming out of the middle? My mate and I put one in an old tin flip top letterbox -- Mr Hunter, I still remember it to this day -- it blew the top off and sides bulged, this was followed by a small fire in the letterbox... his mail. He flew out of the front door and we bolted up the street, Mr Hunter caught up with us and kicked us both in the @rse a few times.

My neighbour set off fireworks at 12.15 on Sunday morning. It was quite spectacular through our closed blinds, and very loud.
One of the dogs gave a couple of barks and the horse galloped around his paddock for a while.
I was tempted to open the gun safe and return fire ?
