22:47:00 <Bonny> guys.. last year the agreed value was at 38,000 which is how much I paid for the car.. this year they increased it to $41,250.. do you think I should have it reduced to 38,000
22:47:00 <gremlinz> how the heck does it increase
22:47:00 <gremlinz> lol
22:48:00 <Bonny> no idea

22:48:00 <Bonny> racv they have gold and gold plus
22:48:00 <Bonny> gold is 25 years
22:49:00 <Bonny> gold plus is 50 years
22:49:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> thats what they have
22:49:00 <Bonny> similar
22:49:00 <Bonny> I have the roadside assist with ravc
22:49:00 <Bonny> racv
22:50:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> yeah i got insurance and roadside and the insurance is cheaper because i got the roadside
22:50:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> i got 2 policys so its cheaper still
22:50:00 <Bonny> I did a quote with racv and it's not cheaper for me
22:51:00 <Bonny> so do you think I should decrease the agreed value to $38,000?
22:51:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> might be an idea
22:51:00 <Bonny> yeah will reduce premium
22:51:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> but then again we have the 2 policies and 2 roadside memberships
22:51:00 <Bonny> ok
22:51:00 <Bonny> brb
22:51:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> ok
22:56:00 <Bonny> Thanks. We are unable to amend the agreed value amount as it is estimated based on the value of the car.
22:58:00 <Bonny> so my car are increased in value
22:58:00 <Bonny> has*
23:04:00 <gremlinz> interesting
23:04:00 <Bonny> yeah
23:12:00 <Demob> this is awful https://7news.com.au/news/qld/the-shocking-criminal-history-of-boys-accused-of-murdering-north-lakes-mum-emma-lovell-c-9292792
23:12:00 <Demob> poor lady :( they stabbed the husband too but he'll live
23:12:00 <Demob> things have gotten crazy in the last few years ive noticed
23:12:00 <Demob> more crazy anyway
23:13:00 <Demob> hi gremlinz
23:14:00 <gremlinz> yea that was fooked up
23:14:00 <Demob> i never been to qld
23:15:00 <gremlinz> put a bullet in them
23:15:00 <gremlinz> hi Demob
23:15:00 <Demob> ive only been to NSW and Vic
23:15:00 <gremlinz> doesn't matter what the crime, bullet
23:15:00 <Demob> my dad is from tas
23:15:00 <Demob> i lived all my life in sa
23:15:00 <gremlinz> i have family in SA
23:15:00 <gremlinz> broken hill, port augusta, old noarlunga and can't remember the one
23:16:00 <gremlinz> other one*
23:16:00 <Demob> yep ive been to those places :)
23:16:00 <Demob> im near port adelaid
23:16:00 <Demob> e
23:17:00 <gremlinz> cool
23:17:00 <Demob> the street i live in has a few junkies but its gotten better, theres not hoardes of meth-zombies screaming all hours of day and night anymore, maybe they got arrested or something
23:17:00 <Demob> theyre unpredictable and violent, its stressful to be near them
23:18:00 <gremlinz> yup, bullet :)
23:18:00 <Demob> haha yes i feel same but its not PC to say
23:18:00 <gremlinz> meh idgaf
23:18:00 <Demob> hope i can fix my fridge
23:18:00 <gremlinz> its like africa and those 3rd world countries "save the children"
23:19:00 <gremlinz> how about stop fucking having children
23:19:00 <Demob> we did the wrong thing with them
23:19:00 <Demob> exactly
23:19:00 <Demob> we gave them food, the mothers think "wow i can have more kids cos theres more food"
23:19:00 <gremlinz> what's wrong with your fridge
23:19:00 <Demob> the average ugandan woman has 8 kids. thats just the average
23:20:00 <Demob> its not the compressor which is good, thats expensive
23:20:00 <Demob> not the starter relay
23:20:00 <Demob> ill look at it properly tomorrow
23:22:00 <gremlinz> i knew someone who owned a second hand appliance store when i worked for chandlers
23:22:00 <gremlinz> we use to give him all the old stock i'd pickup from customers who bought new gear
23:22:00 <gremlinz> like fridges, washers etc
23:23:00 <gremlinz> these days, it's not at all cost-effective to buy second hand, or fix em coz new is getting cheap
23:23:00 <gremlinz> 15-20 yrs ago it was a thing
23:23:00 <Demob> i cant afford new :(
23:24:00 <Demob> im poor but im looking to change that
23:25:00 <gremlinz> well all the best and hope you can fix it
23:25:00 <Demob> thanks, i hope too
23:28:00 <Demob> sorry if i asked before but i have memory issues, what do you do gremlinz ?
23:29:00 <Demob> oh one other point about us sending money to feed africa - the aid agencies didnt give a lot of it towards food but the food they did buy was mostly always picked up by local gangs and warlords, who were in charge of distribution, and used it as a way to coerce people into joining their militias
23:29:00 <Demob> and they used starvation as a way to control enemy
23:30:00 <Demob> it was a naive way to help them. i know people care, but if they saw how their money was spent theyd not have given it in first place
23:31:00 <gremlinz> do as in work?
23:31:00 <Demob> yeah
23:32:00 <gremlinz> i work home affairs
23:32:00 <Demob> aha
23:40:00 <gremlinz> *at
23:40:00 <gremlinz> damn missing words in sentences
23:40:00 <gremlinz> and realising 10 mins late
23:40:00 <gremlinz> time for bed i think
23:43:00 <gremlinz> found those inspection reports Snoopys_Gunship, a C180 and C200 Kompressors
23:44:00 <Demob> nice cars
23:44:00 <Demob> for 4 cylinder
23:49:00 <gremlinz> this dealer hated the thought that i arranged an inspection, on numerous occasions telling me how he "stands behind the vehicles" he sells
23:50:00 <gremlinz> glad he doesn't sell beds, coz it was $250 well spent to avoid buying a piece of shit
23:53:00 <Demob> a lot of them hate car inspections, in the old days the dealers used to have agreements to pay them off, i heard about that here with RAA inspections but when my gf bought a car from a dealer the RAA guy didnt go near him, and did a good report, the dealer had to fix a few things
23:53:00 <Demob> i worked with a guy who was a used car salesman once, he told me about the $50 handshakes" theyd do with dealers
23:53:00 <Demob> you looking to buy a Kompressor gremlinz ?
23:53:00 <Demob> damn fine car mate
23:57:00 <Demob> bacon isnt normally red? wth
