1.	11/18/09	My name is Barry Cullen – Patrol 346(Convenor/Senior Delegate) at NRMA in Sydney. If you need to verify ask your Patrol Craig Mann (Brisbane-I think) ex Sydney Patrol/Union Rep.cont:
2.	11/18/09	I was recently contacted by RAASA Patrol & Union Organiser Paul Gunner about forming a National Alliance of Patrols to deal with, what seems to be ever increasing similar issues. Least of all our viability in the future. www.raapatrols.freeforums.org
3.	11/14/09	has anyone come across a 99 model nissan Terrano 2 diesel with air flow meter fault
4.	11/10/09	Hello anybody home???????
5.	09/28/09	Ask Peter Burr he is a CSP area manager
6.	09/23/09	Can someone tell me what avenue you would have to take to become a contracted service provider for an area?
7.	09/15/09	BTW I have a ripper of a scar behind my right knee from a skin cancer removal. It takes 40 years or so to pay the price of being complacent it seems. Owen 038
8.	09/15/09	On the other hand, money might've been saved if they issued me with cargo shorts. They would've looked like longs & I wouldn't have to take em up. Owen 038
9.	09/14/09	Apparently you can roll the legs up just over your knee huckleberry fin or Tom Sawyer style .
10.	09/10/09	Pity !! just when I start shaving my legs now I have to cover them up. Or maybe this is why shorts are banned. JT
11.	09/08/09	T.P. You dont seem to worried when your riding. Last time I saw you riding your legs weren't covered.
12.	09/08/09	I don't know I don't wear shorts and never had. But if you contact the Cancer mob I am sure they could give you better stats than this site. T.p.
13.	09/07/09	NO shorts NOW i can wear white socks Yeah Yeah
14.	09/04/09	Whats with not having any shorts with the new unifrorm issue. Has any Patrol ever got skin cancer on their leg before?
15.	09/02/09	Bruce, sorry to hear you had a B&B at the hospital. Sounds like u recovered ok but. Will drop by with some lollies for you when I can. Owen 038.
16.	08/28/09	hey Owen, i always enjoy reading your comments....what's with the blue background, it's hard on the eyes
17.	07/30/09	Missed you Bruce (ex not old 62) Jack missed as well. New 62 is wandering through France eating smelly things. Hope your mob are well and happy. Pat 048
18.	07/30/09	Are you pedantic Smee? Hope you wash your hands after! Those who want rewards...try this..spend some time with the member, give the best service and you will be surprised at the response. Pat 048
19.	07/12/09	See, now here's the thing. I can be as pedantic or as critical as I like thanks, just like anyone else on this site. The difference is at least I put my name to my comments!!!! Owen 038
20.	07/09/09	Don't be to pedantic about spelling errors on this site Owe! Just telling a brief story like others and you, not writting a book. Ah-yeh, you only need one of these "!" not two at the end of your sentence.
21.	07/08/09	Yep, I can remember the days when we collected a coMMission as well. We also used drive to members homes to collect renewals. I can only imagine the bellowing that would ensue these days when we had to pay those renewals in at Westpac!! Owen 038
22.	07/08/09	sorry to have missed both the 20 years and the past and present but we were away.Bruce (old62)
23.	07/07/09	Wouldn't it be easier to refer an auto glass for 5 bucks? Hey Owie? If I leave MY name here, can I have ya 10 bucks? Dean 65.
24.	07/07/09	Just a matter of interest if I remember correctly! Many years back (early to mid '80's) before the development of the IT systems, patrols did get paid a small fee as comissions joining a member/insurance? Short lived.
25.	07/03/09	When I was a country CSP we got $2 for signing up a mem! 52
26.	07/03/09	re "I think". You do, it's called a paypacket. No members = no job. Stop being so bloody greedy!!
27.	07/02/09	'comission to join' You can't even spell the word properly. If you're really that desperate I'll give ya $10 if you post your name. How many have you joined up by the way? Owen 038
28.	06/28/09	I think we should get paid a comission if we get a members to join
29.	06/28/09	Appréciez l'excursion De France T.p. Owen 038
30.	06/26/09	If you put ya name down I will twit with you ya twitter. T.p.
31.	06/25/09	i agree, this website has lost its relevance why don't we just twitter instead
32.	06/25/09	What has the Southside Patrols & QLD State of origin side got in common? 4 in a row well done Grant. T.p.
33.	06/24/09	we had a great night at the past and present do last night .it would be nice to see more patrols there.congratulaions grant 57 for scooping the awards 07
34.	06/24/09	what revamps are you talking about? Maybe if you put suggestion forward with your name it may be considered by the web master. T.p.
35.	06/24/09	now that the website has been updated how about someone update the patrols
36.	06/24/09	If you think the site needs updating please contact the webmaster I'm sure they would love some assistance. 053
37.	06/23/09	Hah, patrols unite (or is that ignite) sounds like krudd stuff to me.
38.	06/22/09	when is someone going to update the rest of this site, its a bit overdue for a revamp.
39.	06/22/09	Fair Go TP, you drive a high tech VW! No squeak there. The dog ate my deposit book Dean, and the bag! Pat 048
40.	06/21/09	I must live in a different world to some of you guys. Squeaking wheels and big brother. What is this crap?? T.p.
41.	06/20/09	I can just see it now Pat, You sitting in the lounge with a red laser beam bouncing around the room,,,, your dog has the scanner!!! Dean 065.
42.	06/19/09	If you swipe the scanner over the chip embedded in your dog it adds him/her to your inventory with the correct name! Pat048
43.	06/19/09	looks like the squeaky wheel is getting a bit annoying again. Patrols unite,that's all is needed.
44.	06/18/09	If you do the right thing with your payments there is nothing to be scared of
45.	06/18/09	Big brother....What do you mean, or will be very soon..You must be just realising or extremely naive!
46.	06/17/09	How do you figure big bro is watching us? Hasn;t he been watching for ages, or didn't you know that?
47.	06/13/09	Big Brother is watching us (all)(or will be very soon)
48.	06/12/09	I got fitted out with Electronic Inventory / Receipting today (Friday). I'm looking forward to sharing info with you blokes over the coming weeks. Be gentle with me, I haven't trained for about 4 years though. Owen 038
49.	06/11/09	Lots of Patrols on Facebook now, Good way to keep in touch. Give it a try guys.
50.	06/09/09	What you won't read the positive stuff? Only interested in the negatives hey? Better you stay away!
51.	06/04/09	Still nothing good to read? Guess I'll try again in a couple of months, maybe something interesting then to read.
52.	06/04/09	To quote Brad. If you don't like your job! ...
53.	05/30/09	Have you tried the new gear T.C.?
54.	05/28/09	we now have a change of venue for our past & present night.it will be at the wynnum manly leagues club on wondall rd. wynnum.same times same format.unfortunately easts can not accomodate us on the night.
55.	05/26/09	The new uniform includes better wet weather gear.Have raised the issue with the current green stuff.T.c
56.	05/26/09	Its funny how people can complain about gear not working on this site but don't go through the right channels. Wet weather gear has been a issue for years & only raises it head when it rains. My 20 year old gear still works. T.p.
57.	05/26/09	Sorry to see Brad Smith leave he had so much to offer & has given good direction with Hammo. Good luck mate in the future. T.p.
58.	05/25/09	That's ok Pat, there's never enough butter anyway. Sorry I had to miss it but. I woulda needed a bloody good outboard on a kayak to get across though. Smee
59.	05/22/09	looks like bond got wet?
60.	05/22/09	I didn't get wet at all Rob x27

74.	04/22/09	who put my patrol no. to message on the 04/16/09 07 christos
75.	04/16/09	If you go to Tingalpa make sure its not smoko, lunch or after 3.30 as there is nobody there or you have to wait, its long gone that you could just walk in like at water street. I find it funny patrols can get into emp's but not our training section. 007
76.	04/15/09	Hi. Yes it would remain your property and you would be welcome to attend Tech Training to view the display.
77.	04/09/09	would the memorabilia remain my property of do they want ot donated and would I as a past patrol be able to come and view the display as I no longer have security clearance
78.	04/08/09	is there anyone out therewho has memorabelea they would like to donate for display at tingalpa please contact gary donaldson at tech training.if you are in contact with past patrols if they have anything please let gary know.
79.	04/01/09	"Clubs in Australian" gave it away ;)
80.	04/01/09	Sounds like April fool to me
81.	03/31/09	It must be April Fools day
82.	03/26/09	No just you owie!!!
83.	03/26/09	Not much in the way of comments here anymore? Seems the closed group of patrol reps is a very private club out on the northside somewhere! Opinions of "all" patrols has become un-important. Come on patrol reps. tell us something?
84.	03/25/09	Is it just me, or is anyone else finding it difficult to fit the outside bolt to a Mitsubishi 380 battery carrier? Also, how about a late Focus battery. That plastic box is a joke surely? Owen 038
85.	03/17/09	can someone post thr pics of the battery night
86.	02/20/09	""Where are we did I miss the turn off", "It's a bloke".

91.	02/17/09	LMAO Rob..... That'll probably be the only offer I get ;) Owen 038.
92.	02/16/09	Good one Rob.
93.	02/16/09	I am on day shift Owen, maybe I can help. Rob x 27.he he he! Nah I think I will go to the party.
94.	02/15/09	To "to" so you call nobody posting anything for two weeks "perking up" that is so sad in itself, but I guess that is the world we live and work in.
95.	02/12/09	Any Southsider not wanting to attend Past & Present function & can do 2-10 on 24/6 please contact me. Swap day shift or Day Off. I can give you any Sat or Sun from late June right thru July. Cheers, Owen 038
96.	02/12/09	To "Thought I should" Typical! Just when I figured everything is perking up? You come along with your insensitive remark about no unhappy comments! Its back to the same old thing. Now let me see what I can dig up.
97.	02/12/09	What about a new name for the past and present night to bring it in line with what happens on the night. Anyone got any ideas? Awards night? Road Service Recognition night? Motoring Services Presentation night?
98.	02/10/09	date has been set for past and present function 24/6/2009.try to get as many of thepast patrolsand call centre staff as possible to come.more iformation following.
99.	02/09/09	Thought I should write something here, no one else is, surely someone is unhappy with something
100.	01/17/09	Welcome back on the road Pete(ex 17)
101.	01/14/09	Troy, good to hear from you. From someone who did leave and has recently come back, that this is the best job in the industry. If your not happy where you are you should consider comming back. Graham (was 55 now 17)
102.	01/09/09	I would like to thank Pat(48) and team 1 for the framed vest they gave me. It is awesome I really appreciated it. Thanks heaps guys. Rob (ex27).
103.	01/01/09	Hi Owen, I think about coming back on a regular basis. I still keep my hand in up here. Hope you all have a good new year cheers, Troy
104.	01/01/09	Hi Troy its a shame you had to leave to realise the value in being a patrols, when others still here think its a deadend job. I am sure knowing you that you do bring value to what you are doing now mate. take care. T.p.
105.	12/23/08	I'll stand beside Gino any day...... he makes me look taller. Luv'ya Gino ;) Owen 038. (Does Gino read this page???)
106.	12/23/08	Good to hear from you Troy, why not give a thought to coming back? You'll hafta to obey the road rules but! Merry Christmas. Owen 038.
107.	12/22/08	Re-"Dead end job" If you don't like it LEAVE!! It's that simple. I for one reckon we have the best job going in this industry. Thank god for Owen & TP consistently bringing some balance. Given their experience levels, worth listening to I'd have thought.
108.	12/22/08	Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to all Patrols. A big thankyou to the Northside Patrols for their efforts this year! Cheers, Pete 030
109.	12/22/08	It is a bit funny when you look at the number who have been promoted and stepped back or resisted the advancement! Been a bloody wonderful "Dead End"! Plenty of time for lovin and laughin with a good stoush every now and then. Bloody Magic! Pat 048
110.	12/21/08	cont... best part of my job is my flashing lights allow me to do over 170 km in traffic, after being spat on, pissed on I'd rather change flat tyres in the rain any day Merry Xmas to all Troy ex 65
111.	12/21/08	Hey guys, I left the job for something that I thought would be better. The money is good but most days I wish I had stayed, RACQ patrol probably one of the best jobs in Aust. and I've had plently of jobs in a variety of indutries cont....
112.	12/21/08	Isn't Gino 59 smaller than Owen 38? Or is it a draw?
113.	12/21/08	LMAO @ smallest. Do you know that there's only room on the legs of my new trousers for one stripe? Owen 038
114.	12/21/08	Smallest???? Which bit are you talkin' about?
115.	12/20/08	Smallest patrol in the fleet has the guts to make such a comment (Sorry Owen 038!)…..why don’t the loud mouths do the same!
116.	12/20/08	Please remember you do an important job you serve your MEMBERS manangers serve their manangers.I know which job i want to have
117.	12/19/08	By the way Dead End, did I mention that with an approach like yours, I'm glad you didn't get to be my new Manager? Merry Christmas fellas ;) Owen 038.
118.	12/19/08	May be if you think it is a dead end job it is time you looked for other employment.Saturday paper is a start.Merry xmas to all .TC
119.	12/19/08	I can only say to the clown who wrote that about the new appointments get ya facts right. Patrols in a dead end job. If it is such a dead end job why do so many stay doing it? Plus the ones that should apply for promotions & would get it don't? T.p.
120.	12/19/08	'Dead end jobs'. If you got an interview, maybe you forgot to polish ya boots?
121.	12/19/08	'Dead end jobs!' If you don't mind, I reckon the position of Patrol is the best job in the place. Been there, done that. Trust me. If you applied unsuccessfully, suck it up or go. Attitude problem is obvious with your comment. Owen 038
122.	12/18/08	Any south patrol able to swap a day shift for a 2-10 on sat 10jan09.. Please contact me CT58.
123.	12/18/08	Congratulations to RACQ, new appointments to outsiders again. All this talk about carreer prospects for patrols is just that, "TALK" . Patrols have been in a dead end job for years, It continues. Thanks for nothing new RACQ management..
124.	12/17/08	They are not new products Craig just old ones with a great meaning which some of us don't use. Looking the part is just as important as being it. With the Club putting so much into our image you wonder where these grubs have been. Kiwi Polish

139.	11/28/08	arm sling and training wheels for bike riders at the next one!!
140.	11/28/08	Great night at Arana leagues clubs, Beer and a roast meal is much better than coffee and a spring roll. See you at the next one. Flowers for partners was a nice touch. JT
141.	11/27/08	Patrol's memorabilia given a rest. Historic display of former Road Service vehicles and uniforms etc. placed in mothballs. Patrols may not find this a refreshing change!
142.	11/27/08	I know it was'nt a morning tea, but it was a good night at Arana Leagues . Thanks to all involved I am glad I went, and congrats to the other recipients. Hope to catch up at future functions.Rob C-M

148.	11/18/08	Hi guys, thank you for all your support and friendships over the years. Thanks also for the cards, gifts and well wishes. Hope a lot of you will keep in touch. Teena

160.	11/11/08	I have a question for you. Why did you leave training? You were brilliant.
161.	11/10/08	Maybe it is because I see communication (Comminication) as a two way street and is asking a question so hard? T.p.
162.	11/10/08	Thanks Steve I enjoyed working with you and your input to our role in QA. The skills learnt have assisted me greatly in my new role. I am really enjoying my work as a Home and Community Care Coordinator. Cheers Rob C-M
163.	11/10/08	Why did u have to ask the question TP. there are area managers,team leaders team meetings and still no comminication.
164.	11/07/08	SS/Tech Training has seen their Cruise Director sail off into the sunset. Bon Voyage Teena, I hope the crew left behind don't lose their way. Thanks for your commitment & support over the last 12 1/2 yrs. I'll miss you heaps. ((U))
165.	11/06/08	Hey Robbie, thought you'd be around forever - what rotten news for all of us who will miss you. Thanks for all your help with QA over the years - you like me have made the decision to move on. Regards, Steve Cappa.
166.	11/06/08	I see training is going to loose another valued sfaff member. Good luck Teena in your new job, You are going to be missed more than people realise.
167.	11/05/08	Congrats Warren, hope I get an invite when that bar is finished. Rob C-M
168.	11/03/08	As anybody ask management why they have elected to have a sit down function instead of the morning tea? I have and I think it is a forward move and I beleive in tradition just like others but there are times when change is needed & this is one of them. Tp
169.	10/31/08	Hi Rob, I also want to wish you all the best in your new role. Sorry I couldn't make it to RQ. I'm hoping you'll change your mind and come to the Arana Leagues club, I'll glady shout you a drink anytime. Pete34
170.	10/31/08	Thanks all 4 comments and phone calls of support and disgust over the morning tea issue.So much 4 their policy of team building. Hope 2 catch up at a Patrols evening. I won't be attending m'ments years of service function. Rob C-M
171.	10/30/08	A big thanks to the organisers and all who attended the DJR night. It was a great night. And thanks for the prize, I'll need to finish the downstairs bar now to accommodate it. Wazza 04
