Thread: The Code of Practice
-
31st July 2006, 08:48 AM #241
G'day Caliban,
As I understand hijacking a thread, it means diverting it from its original purpose or trying to upstage the original poster. I hope that you do not think that it was my intention to do so, nor in fact do I believe I did. I, in fact, was struck by the essential "rightness" of the CoP and believed it might apply internationally. I still believe that. It is a sound document that has both character and common sense which is applicable worldwide.
If, for reasons which escape me at the moment, I have offended anyone in OZ, I certainly apologise. In general I admire the great good humour and camaraderie shown on this forum, and I hope to be a contributing member of it. I am not a professional woodworker, but an avid hobbyist and have much more to learn than to contribute in the way of knowledge.
On the other hand, I admit to an admiration for Australia of which I cannot, in good conscience, be ashamed. Fortunately, I am old enough, and my skin is thick enough, to take almost anything. But I must draw the line at advertising on a dating forum in NZ. Here in the States we have a term for such things which is unsuitable for a family-orientated forum.
Cliff, I am sorry I missed the barbie. I asked the missus but she had to work this weekend. Pity. Perhaps the next one.Happy birthday to the wife from America.
Cheers,
Bob

BTW always a good subject is pancakes, maybe you can tell us how you make them over there.

I hope my secondary endeavours make up for the above indescression.

I posted the link to the code of practice to the coodabeenchampions on the ABC as I thought this would be right up their alley and we might get 15 seconds of fame. Although I wasn't listening last weekend I heard they ridiculed my name (I'm not fussed, I'm used to it), anyway, they said they might ridicule (er . . . . do a program about ) sheds in a coming program so make sure you stay tuned.

Just a quick question for the Drafting Committee:
Whilst studying the Code today I realized that Para. 6 (Tools) does not proscribe a Bloke from reading a tool’s Instructional Manual. :eek: Is this an Australian cultural phenomenon or merely an oversight? I should think, as we do here, a Bloke would fiddle a tool until he completely buggered it up before he would stoop so low as to read the Instructions.
What say you?Cheers,
Bob

Have to agree with you there Bob! Its only after you've attempted to assemble any given piece of equipment/plant and realised you have bolts left over that don't fit anywhere, that the instructions manual is even searched for!:eek:

I may have you call you up on that point, Brother Driver.
Keeping up-to-date documentation of anything, even of the code itself, is verging on chapiness. I must admit that I am undecided whether referring to an old version of the code, and thereby committing an offence, or failing to carry out some action prescribed therein, is more of a concern than the chapiness associated with the diligent observance of the update path of the document itself.
This is a quandry. Is it covered in the current version? No! Don't tell me, I don't want to know!"I don't practice what I preach because I'm not the kind of person I'm preaching to."
