Halfway house putty roadhouse fire

Don't align myself with any camp as you put it Nev, I am fully insured with
my properties.
but, the post up there said that some bushfire victims were underinsured
unfortunately
You said that you wish your house burned down then you would be rolling in
cash
I am in the middle of the bushfire victims and I see what has happened with
the people and houses, some or most of them were underinsured for total
replacement,
then you come along and with what you say, you infer that everyone who's
house got burned down would be rolling in cash
I totally disagree with you on that
Maybe because you would be rolling in cash , are you saying that you are
overinsured?
If so, then you are taking your chances with the insurance companies
as I said, they only pay out on things that they can't get out of not paying
and if they look into your file and see that you are overinsured, they will
pay out only for the insurance value that they put on it,
not what you put on it.
They might even look into your file and claim you are trying to defraud
them,
if so, then you will have a hell of a time trying to get anything out of
them.
I am not sticking up for either camp, I see every day the effects the fires
have had on both the insured the underinsured and the non insured and your
statement that you would be rolling in cash, in my eyes is spiteful that
people who have had their house burned down are getting a new house through
insurance.
Obviously, you have not given the slightest thought of the family treasures
lost, photos, mementos and such.
Maybe you are one who doesn't give a shit about family stuff

 

Yah, about that.

Well yes our house burnt down in the Vic bushfires but...

1. It was rented out and we weren't living in it so we didn't get any of
the first lot of money.
2. It was insured so we didn't get any of the 2nd lot of money.
3. Because we were somewhat under insured (but still insured see 2) we
decided to sell and not rebuild so we missed out on the 3rd lot of money.

They did pay to remove our burnt down house and sheds but that was
actually covered in our insurance (although again we were somewhat under
insured) so that saved our insurance company some money and it did save
us the clean up shortfall.

Balancing that though is we'll be out almost a year of rental income
before this is all over which pretty much balances out the clean up
shortfall.

We'll probably come out about even (which is fine), but it makes me
wonder where all the $200 million plus actually went...

A very good question, Geoff.

I'll bet you thruppence that the general public will never see where the
money actually went to.

Blah blah blah gee you can go on a bit can't you. You make assumptions
and draw conclusions which miss their marks by such huge margins i
almost thought it was Gerry replying to me. Try to limit your responses
to a short paragraph or two. I don't bother reading much more dribble
than that in a single post.

I'll meet them there and they can give me all their money.
and you give them their lives, pets, friends and posessions back, Im
sure they will oblige.

 

I actually thought that you were having a studious and good conversation
with me Nev, but then I realised that I was expecting too much of you.
You are and always will be a dickhead

 

Nev,
I was talking to the bloke who lost a couple of cars and a few bikes in the
fires, along with his house and entire contents.
I told him of your posts and your attitude toward the people getting "free
house and rolling in cash"
and he would like to know
if you would be so kind as to forward on your full name and address,
because he said he would like to pay you a social visit
maybe catch up with a few things with a beer or five thrown in

 

i would never bother with a studious and good conversation with
someone who resorts to name calling at the earliest available
opportunity. It is indicative of a certain level of intelligence.
Right up there with Gerry and Smee

You are placing me with smee ??

damn, now what did I do to deserve that ?

Gerry I can handle, but smee...........
****, what is the world coming to ?

 

Sounds great. His shout I presume.

You seem to have some trouble distinguishing the difference between "i
wish my house burned down" and "I wish someone elses house burned down".
Maybe you can ask a primary school teacher -actually a primary schhol
student would probably suffice- to explain the difference to you.

If you ever get that sorted out, go back to your bloke and ask him where
my fucking beer is.

Looking back at what you actually said:


you are inferring that anyone who had their house burned down would be
rolling in cash and have a new house
I can't see an y problem with distinquishing what you actually mean
no matter what you say to try to weasel out of it and attempt to turn the
tables toward someone else
It is your attitude and not anyone elses


"" Try to limit your responses to a
Do you have attention deficienty and cannot comprehend anything past one
sentence?
Is this why you don't read past a short paragraph??
come off it Nev, you think you are far better than that...........

 

Not at all. According to the media reports, about 50% of the people who
lost houses had no insurance, or were grossly underinsured. I am not
inferring that they would have anything. I stated what I stated.
Anything you read further into that is in your own head, like your war
exploits, apparently.

You said what you said Nev and don't try to get out of it
you will not, no matter how hard you try

also, what my "war exploits" have to do with this is anyones guess
I said the dates when I was overseas and at the time, there was no war

Pity there is not more in your head than emptiness

Yeah, well I know a few people in this exact same boat. Some are having hassles
with the insurers, mainly procrastinating, but I think that they're mostly
playing ball.

What annoys me are those without insurance who are getting a freebie. I just
hope that none of them are owners of investment properties or holiday houses.

 

Unfortunately Marts, there are some who will try to rip off the system
In the area which I know a fair bit about regarding houses burned down,
people losing everything etc.
the are five that I know of who do have other properties in the city and the
ones which burnt, were either holiday houses or investment properties.
The rest are genuine losses for the families
I don't like the ones who are ripping the system, but when the Government
announce their plans to give away millions, these germs jump at the chance
to make more money and because it has been legislated, it is therefore
legal.

At the local football ground just after the fires, I was there assisting the
Salvos and the local council groups and I witnessed a woman begging and
crying that she had lost everything during the fires, because I thought she
was telling porkies because she was dressed a little bit more classy than
the rest of the people there, I did a check on her house and property to see
how much damage was done to the fences, sheds house etc.
I arrived outside the house where she had given her address and it was
untouched, the house, fences and sheds were pristine and to look at it, you
would never believe that a fire had ever been anywhere near there at all.
But, the upshot is that she did get assistance because of the legislation
allowed it because she was in the fire area, even though her property wasn't
damaged in any way.

The reason I posted what I did against what Nev said, is the bloke I
mentioned, has still not got his house replaced, although they have just
started to survey the property for his new house
6 months is a long time to live in the caravan park waiting to see your
house started.

 

Having a go at me because someone else lives in a caravan.
What a rocket scientist you are to draw such logical parallels.
Big fucking deal if he lives in a caravan. Kick the dog and get over
it.

Nev..

 

Come on Nev. That's a bit harsh even for harsh week. I lost two
friends in the recent fire. And going back 26 years, I was in
Melbourne when Ash Wednesday hit. My cousin lost her house in Mt
Macedon. If you haven't been through a big disruption in your life
like that I don't think you quite understand what effect it has on
you. It's all well to say "Get tough and get over it", but even my
divorce 7 years ago has left me in severe depression since; which I'm
not really totally over.

I've had to start my life over again, and at this age it ain't fun.
You see me posting stuff about the bright side. You don't see the dark
side that comes in frequently (thankfully less frequently). Trust me,
you don't want to go there.

******************************

Well, Nev, this is the reply I expected to see from you
I am not "having a go at you" because someone has to live in a caravan,
plenty of people live in caravans and they like it.
I was having a go at you because you are a fucking idiot and have got no
fucking idea what you are talking about.
You made a large inference that anyone who got burned out would be rolling
in cash with a new house to boot.
Read the fucking post properly Nev or if you can't read properly, then I
will come up and teach you word for word.
You made a statement, then when you got caught out on it, you backpedal
faster than an Eyetalian tank during WW2
Then you come up with the magic words for the day
"Kick the dog and get over it"
What a cop-out
placing the blame onto someone or something else for your fucking stupid
mistake
Its time you got over it Nev
Admit you were wrong in what you said
maybe you could have said it a bit differently then it may have been taken
as an aside
maybe you meant it as a joke....who knows?
only you
If it was only meant as a joke saying, then admit it and get then you can
over it

 

My comments had nothing to do with anything that anyone else has
suffered through. If you want to dispute my initial assertion that if
my house was burned down I would have got a new house and a bucket load
of cash than go for it, but its people like George and now yourself who
have been bringing this down with inferences about other peoples
suffering. I never made any such inferences or statements. I don't
think they're in any way relevant. Why introduce them?
