Gandalph, I think you hit the nail on the head with that call.
The should leave their address and Bunnings can get the Fire Brigade to call by later.
At least it'll create sales for Bunnings when the house or deck or both, have to be rebuilt.

Will I ever learn  :'(

Went there today cause they open an hour earlier than the local and I was keen to get started on a job. I'm doing some plumbing and drainage for the shed, and need an assortment of bits and a length of 50mm drain pipe. Thought I'd leave the pipe till last and get all the little bits into my basket first............great, I'm on a roll, they've got everything I need.................

all I need now is the 50mm pipe.............................want to guess what was out of stock.  >:( >:( >:(

no point giving them any money for all the little bits if I cant get the main item. called into the local guy on the way back and got everything I needed.

I recon chopper has got their number  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gZb73h5evc

Just a publicity stunt for Weekend Warrior World by the looks of it.

What a joke, so the charity cooking up for the day would need to buy some vegan sausages on the off chance one vegan would buy one, then there's the fact they would need a separate hotplate so its not tainted with the juice of a dead animal.
Then the price , they would have to charge more than $2.50  as they're dearer than a real snag.

What's with the "We want vegan snags" sign? Does he really think he'd taste any good sausaged?

It's a clear pi$$ take.  Reading the comments, it's amazing how many suckers there are.

Love the way that he's there apparently in the middle of the night "protesting" - because if he was there during the day, B would get the cops in & have him thrown off their property >:D

And worried about the sh*t he'd cop from the people thinking it's a serious protest...

As I said. Suckers everywhere. Doesn't matter which side of the fence you're on.


I'm struggling with the big deal about it.
If your day is ruined by Bunnings not selling a sausage full of mystery meat (or not offering a 'green' alternative). You probably need to reevaluate your position in life.

Still no where near as funny as the largeish women who lost it completely in Benella KFC last year. When they ran out of potato and gravy. Napkins everywhere and the exit door almost off its hinges!

I mean, I love a 3 piece box, but I managed to hold myself together throughout the whole ordeal...

Nothing the old man liked better than the jelly and dripping mum drained off the Sunday roast as he'd smear it on his white bread or toast with lashings of salt and pepper. When youngest sis was nursing and full of the latest she began to lecture him about cholesterol and then salt, etc to which he'd reply, it's not my dripping that'll kill you girl but the worry, as he lived quite healthily to 92  ;D

Just had the ahh...cough...cough..."pleasure"....of visiting our local Weekend Warrior World earlier to try and get a new floor grate for our shower, due to the old one being broken. Search the aisles and can't find what I want, eventually find a male staff member who tries to walk straight past me as I ask for some help. Begrudgingly he stops after going by me and in a grumpyish tone points off to the where what I seek is to be, telling me which aisle to look in. I find where said items are but no surprise they have every size but the one I seek...I need 90mm diameter and they have either 100mm or 80mm only. I start to walk out of the store not getting what I want, only to see why I couldn't find a staff member earlier...there's a couple of female staff members standing in an aisle cuddling some ladies puppy dog instead of helping the customers  ::) ::) Tomorrow I'll try and find the time to drop into a plumbing supply store instead to get what I want  8)

I was unfortunate enough to be in Bunnings Indooroopilly  (BNE)  Friday 26th May approx 4pm

What a disgrace of a store  ...   I have never seen anything so hopeless for many years....   

At about 1,500sqmtr?  this outlet is about 40% of their usual format ..... BUT  having circled around ALL the isles one and a half times....   not one red shirt could be found anywhere. ....   wtf !!!   

There were 4 goons at the checkouts;  a genuinely very helpful and good product knowledge guy operating the paint deck, (and doubling up as their tool guy); I needed some Ryobie.....

But that was it....   I was almost tempted to walk out with something just to "prove a point" ....   grrrrr

I thought only stormwater was 90mm? Waste pipe is 100mm & 80mm, no in between.
