Easier to defend. Channel was to run from some where in Ras Al-Khamaih to Fujairah - along lapprox along an existing road and waddi that runs through the mountains. Can’t go through Oman as it is all mountains at the tip. Would destroy a really nice souk at Fujairah
Oman is the latest not UAE different bit
Was just replying to some bullshit that I seen today saying that Trump “blindsided” the blocking of Hamuz through “opening up” this side channel.
We all know that this is just more shit out of Trumps mouth and will NEVER happen as long as it’s in the range of Iranian defensive capabilities.
This is what I was saying, as if he can go through Oman. Oh yeah it’s happening now. Yea sorry I gotta have a shit too. Fkn lunatic he is haha
What bloody drugs is he on? Omanis will never go for that far out blind freddy knows that.
Don’t worry mate, he’ll get the Kurds to do it for him!![]()
(BTW: I hope you watched that video I linked, it’s a bloody Rippa!)
I already know what Topher will say been dealing with it since the 10th matey got other important things to do like keep my business afloat, for plan and am going well at it to because I don’t waste my time listening to shit but real fuel delivery operators that have no job since the 10th. ![]()
I have to know as it effects my business directly and instantly. But I am used to these fk arounds, covid, kiss my arse I worked through all of it. Every friggin day and had full gov travel rights which was a bs pass so I could get normal treatments for the sheep. Red tape bullshit.
Hope you are loaded up… ![]()

So riddle me this. Elasticity that guy has NO fucking idea what he is talking about.
Need I repeat, no fuel since 10th MARCH AT ALL.
No fuel no go. All stop. Hope you got a tin of baked beans made in china in the cupboard.
Back to more important things. Around 5 yrs ago Hisense were using LG and Samsung technology panels for their screens. As China were making some of their panels for LG and Samsung to keep their costs down in manufacturing.
Guess what Hisense do now… so what is it you have a Hi ung Ling
SamLong Hi maybe

Seriously they have come a long way for a good option to go for, just because they have figured it out from contracting to others in years gone by.
No warranty for you though.
Everything is crap, and medinchina now…
You cant pay extra, thinking youre getting quality…you’re not…
it seems 2 choices…
-
If you want something good, go for the extended warranty. At least you will get a replacement. It makes average product more expensive.
-
go for mid range product (hisense) with A 3yr warranty…and hope it lasts.
I wont be buying an expensive laptop again( chasing quality and longevity)
after all this is over, drumpf deserves to go to jail for the rest of his life…
i hope they can investigate, expopse his crimes and profiteering, and override his " presidential immunity", and lock him up…
Money is a just a scorecard for him, he is desperately trying to fill the black void inside of himself, that tells him he is a worthless disgusting being.
The rest of the world pays the price, for his greed, vanity and insecurities…

I could make one out of metal, how much you paying. You know what fk it, it’s on the house ![]()
Now we have your TV purchase squared away… ![]()
I bought a South Korean made 3PL spreader a couple years ago(goes on behind tractor and flings fertilizer and or seed out 15M wide). Cheap, I was wary but checked the metal and welds, framework, gearbox, all the hitch points and I couldn’t fault it was really well made.
$1500 new vs second hand flogged out ones for $10k give or take. Was a no brainer for me and I have put it through the wringer and still holds on with 0 failures. I tend to sink the slipper in to get over these big hills here and gets a bit wild

@Wombat here’s dumps new canal he’s “all ready building! started days ago” yea right and pigs fly too… special drawn in crayon ![]()
My old boss on the farm in East Coolup purchased a Lamborghini 3PL Slasher thinking that it would be good quality and fit for purpose, but turned out to be useless and I had to get the welder out and modify the crap out of it!
After a bit of research, it turns out that they are designed specifically for the European market and farming conditions, which are VASTLY different to our rough scrub paddocks containing rocks, hard stalk weeds and string grasses. ![]()
Elasticity as in that farming/mining and transportation have fixed demands no matter what the price of fuel, whereas civilian fuel demand is Elastic dependent upon supply and demand due to price changes……… which is what we are seeing now due to panic buying leaving people like yourself without any fuel.![]()
I’m packing up camp today as have a Cyclone coming in that’s not gonna be good for getting flooded out or blown away!
On the bright side, I’ve got PLENTY of food in the Engel and Camp Box to last me quite a while! ![]()
As long as the Beer Trucks keep running we should hopefully get through this. ![]()
It’s all bullshit propaganda from both sides,
But this track is kinda banging, I can’t lie
I can see beemer bumping this on repeat

But that’s my point, there’s nothing elastic about it. Before the word pannick buy was even mentioned or Bowen even spoke on TV there was no fuel. Media outlets are jumping on the bandwagon two weeks later to get views.
It’s true what some of Toebanger says, but he misses the key point. We are on an ever increasing demand of fuel upwards, we need more not less. As population expands, it requires more fuel. As modern “fuel effecient” diesel engines get restricted more they actually use more fuel than an older 1980’s engine. They also use our fertilizer(UREA) for an after treatment which is another added fuel use that is expensive and again pushes demand up for running costs.
Take my old 10t Perkins engined tip truck. Yea it smokes like a 50 a day crackwhore but I haven’t needed to fill the tank up for 4 years. Even the road going 84 flatbed I have, chucked 20ltrs in that and delivered my wool 130klm round trip. Might have used barely 10ltrs. Try that on a modern current build truck.
Even if a person says they are EV, only walk or ride a push bike, they still consume diesel everytime they walk in to a shop to buy a Latte`, switch on their computer, more diesel burnt. How did your computer get in to your hands. Oh thats right freight. What did you walk over to the manufacturer in China and buy that computer/phone straight off the production line.
Local big farmers under contract for fuel supply are not receiving it. I know it’s been a problem for decades as the supply runs on the JIT system which never works when there is a problem with the chain. ie war. I learnt that years ago when they ran parts supply on the JIT(just in time) system so didn’t have thousands of dollars of stock sitting on the shelf. It works ok, until, it doesen’t, you stand around scratching your nuts with a broken down machine not producing costing thousands per hour in lost production. So that got chucked out where I worked back then. I run my business definitely not on the JIT system as I learnt how bad it can be and you go bankrupt very quick. I forward plan, I planned for this so I have no problem and business as usual for the time being. But I am only one out of thousands. Only a matter of time until it blows up in their face.
Spoke to friends in mines last week and they are being held up too with irregular deliveries so Topper hasn’t quite got it right. But anyway it’s his take on things.
This lady gets it even though I don’t like sky news. 2 years of drought well you use less diesel don’t you unless you want to go bankrupt very quick by planting in to dust. Get some rain, should see it local to me is a mess, there are paddocks sprayed out, half worked up and everyone sitting around twiddling their thumbs.

One oil ship unloaded in SA yesterday. Now everything should be better
