Thread: The Code of Practice

2. Does the committee envisage a response according to the degree of transgression, if so will an attempt be made to prescribe both the hierachy of fopah and the resultant penance.
3. As a result of a Bloke being found guily of a serious breach of the Code and any applicable punishment be recommended should the Code encorporate an appeals process.

1. Depends on what said bloke does and who finds out (nudge, nudge, wink, wink).
2. Nah.
3. Nah. Appeals process? Sounds a bit too chap-like to me.

True. But it bothers me that you seem so familiar with the relevant paras and sub-paras. You haven't read all of it have you?

That in and of itself should surely be a transgression brother Driver? As one who reckons the damned things way overly long and full of that foreign lingo called legaleze and so havent actually done the chappy thing and read it from woe to go Id have to concur with brother Wild Dingo and say he has transgressed the code on at least several violations

Now as to said transgressions and possible punishments... I do feel you may need to include sentancing laws and such?

AND MAKE THE SODDING THING SHORTER!!!

MAKE THE SODDING THING SHORTER!!!

That is an absolute hoot!!

Expressions like ; 'In and of itself', for example?

I'm delighted to learn that you agree with yourself, Ding.

At the risk of repeating meself: Nah. Definitely sounds way too chap-like.

Gotta agree with silent - that, mate, is an absolute bloody ripper!

In all seriousness (), it's The Code. It's intended to provide guidance for blokes. It certainly isn't intended to provide some sort of quasi-legal, half-@rsed set of statutes that can be used by nit-picking wankers to inflict punishment on blokes who look like they may have forgotten to behave in an entirely bloke-like manner.

The minute it starts to be used by the nit-pickers to beat up blokes, that's when this particular bloke calls time and walks away.

I look at it this way: it's my shed and I'll do what I bloody want in it. I see no problems whatsoever with my breaking the code in my shed.

However, being caught at is a punishable offence and, depending on the severity of the infringement and mood of the forum in general, may result in anything from general taunts and derision by your peers to being denigrated to mere "chap" status.

In other words, do what you want but make sure there aren't any witnesses! (Especially if they're carrying cameras. Do you really want pix of your frilly curtains being passed around under the counter? )

Waddidido??

I agree its my shed and if I wanna do this in there or this or this or heck even if I wanna do this or this even or pretend to be this ooops thats right I already do that! anyways whatever I flamin well choose to do in my shed then by gawd an all thats holey I will... cause my shed

The Code of Practice

Condenced version

For my shed and all within it to be taken particular notice of by:
missus
hoons
visitors
and anyone or thing that enters said shed

1) It is MY SHED

Do NOT argue with this FACT!!

2) Dont like it... LEAVE (use of other expleatives acceptable as you determine appropriate)

Do NOT argue with this FACT!! Just walk away

3) You come into MY SHED you do as I say not as you want no arguments no discussion

I AM GOD OF MY SHED!! I RULE!!

4) If you want to stay DONT STAND STILL doing nothing!

Sanding is always good! And YOU get the BEER!!

5) WHO ARE YOU? GET OUT OF MY SHED!!

I think I can get that nice an clear onto an A3 sheet

Ah…..as I suspected the Code while now existing in the written word the said document has not changed the time honoured practice of taking the pi$$.

For those that experience brain fade and are identified as having strayed from accepted Blokely practice a reminder is extended to observe the Code. The reminder should take the form of a swift retort of a witty nature that should cause the transgressor embarrassment commensurate with the extent of chap like behaviour. It should also produce a response from nodding approval to substantial guffawing from those Blokes present.

No further clarification required.

Struth.... I had to look chintz up, still not sure I get it.

All transgressors will hereby be referred to as
"A Big Girl's Blouse"

Don't be thick, Cliff. Ask Wendy if you dont know.

Wendy's curtains are lace...

I suspect that Ding is referring to the ones that Silent spotted in a picture of my shed....
