Shark Attacks in Bali

DenpasarHouse

You don't often hear of shark attacks in Bali. Here's one I just came across: San Diego surfer shares story of shark attack in Bali | FOX5 San Diego - San Diego News, Weather, Traffic and Sports | KSWB Also, this involves a concept I'm not 100% comfortable with but haven't thought about it enough to have a firm opinion. That is, Public appeals for donations to solve private problems. e.g. the use of sites like GoFundMe to cover medical expenses. How is it that people think this is acceptable? Shouldn't the first step be to liquidate your assets? It seems like people want to take risks without any responsibility.

His call for public donations also got me pissed off when I read this story last month.

Every fecker that falls off his bike now gets crowd funded to pay for a new bike. I love it! Me I'm thinking of crowd funding a week long attack on my liver. To show it who's boss. 30 or so crates of Binny should carry me and a crowd of like-minded revelers through the attack. Double that number if no.idea is coming.

Does this mean I have no chance of you helping fund my holiday?

Pet hate of mine. Larding your sentences with "Kind of", "Sort of", "Like" etc. etc. Like, ask my daughters. If they put a superfluous "like" into a sentence they get a look from me.

So . . . I didn't use "Kind of", I didn't use "Sort of" and I used "Like" once. I wonder if you can guess what my pet hate is?

I cannot find any reference to that but put EH! into your browser and see the results... My clandestine, suspicious mind thinks you may be an undercover agent from Newfoundland, secretly lying low in Bali until Canada needs to infiltrate Australia thru' North Queensland, thus creating an imbalance of power to topple the OZ gov't. Then the Canadian navy can access Timor Leste with an aircraft carrier and recover the oilfields the Ozzies stole from them...:devilish: Canada is well known for peace-making....:icon_wink: Oh! I'm wrong, please ignore...Turnbull just did that without your help....and Canada doesn't have an aircraft carrier...:icon_e_biggrin:

I will happily assist you in the case of an accident. If you sort of kind of like chop your head off like in the accident. I will get in my car like and go to an ATM and sort of like get some cash out. That is if you like.

Thanks DPH...your link has indicated there may be more covert Canadians stealthily living in Brisbane. Maybe they can ship some 'roos and import famous Ozzie meat pies to feed those unfortunates in Alberta...whose homes are destroyed by the wildfires.

I wasn't referring to your post, I was referring to the article by the surfer. The link that you posted, that quotes the bloke, kind of. Like, you know.

I also thought SamD was referring to the statements by the surfer in the article.

The link to the article isn't in your quote so I thought you were referring to me. My mistake, sorry about that.

OK, I see that my post could have been misinterpreted. I need to be more careful when posting on forums, a mistake that would take 2 seconds to resolve in a pub takes 5 hours online. I should spend more time in the pub.

Yeah but if you sit in the pub all the time you turn into a fool, here you become a fecking genius, like me. Course I leaven that with enough pub time to remain [I]just[/I] a genius.
