Flame Of The Week - Jenjen from the "Elite" suburb of Nicholls

It was with a heavy heart that I let through a story by Brianh wanting to “spread the word” of plans by the Canberra Muslim Community (one of many CMCs) to buy a block of land in Nicholls, presumably for the same sorts of purposes as other religious communities buy land for without any great hue and cry.

But, as it’s not just a website for people I agree with, approve it I did, albeit leaving a note, and left it to the Riot readership to go over the issues.

This prompted an amazing comment this morning which I believe is an easy winner of “Flame Of The Week”.

    Nicholls shops were built to serve the Nicholls community (rate payers of Nicholls), now we have a greedy government not extending a car park to service rate payers as they would rather gain millions for selling the land to be used. This land should be used to service the rate payers of this Suburb not bring in hordes from other areas who don’t pay our rates. How many rate payers of Nicholls would gain advantage of this so called “place of prayer”???????? Not many????? Get advice and opinions from residents who live near these “place of prayer” in other areas and NSW, they will let you know what goes on. This small land in Nicholls is not practical for the proposal. RATE PAYERS OPINION SHOULD COME FIRST. If this transaction goes ahead say goodbye to our elite suburb and our family we will be out of here.

Letting Muslims build a facility will ruin the “elite” nature of Nicholls huh? Jenjen didn’t like the way her comment was received and posted this followup:

    Take a look around it seems we have nothing but CMC rent a crowd writing on this subject. Get your heads out of your buckets you obviously don’t live in the suburb and have no idea.

RiotACT readers are lot of things but being noted shills for the Canberra Muslim Community is not really one of them. Without speaking for anyone else I just hate lynch mobs with a passion, whether it’s a muslim one, or the “elite” residents of Nicholls.

Congratulations JenJen, you receive the prestigious RiotACT Flame Of The Week award.

What a suburb with an enviable post code!! I lived there for a couple of years and gained the most horrible experiences of my life. Truly. It was a weird place to live being so new and ugly, but you would never expect anything tragic to happen. But it did. Postcodes don’t keep you safe so build away!!

Formally of Nicholls/Hardcore hill.

Yes, it is meaningful to be proud of your country if you’ve put your life on the line to protect and uphold its values, or dedicated your life to serving your country. That’s not an accident. It’s a deliberate choice. You’ve helped to build and protect your country. You haven’t just been content to drive around it in your ute, drink in it and harbour an overblown sense of entitlement.

But surely you wouldn’t put your life on the line if you weren’t already proud of your country and prepared to uphold its values? I also think it is a bit offensive to suggest you can only have pride in your country if you’ve served in the military etc. I’m very proud to be Australian, but I’m not one of the Aussie Aussie Aussie Oi Oi Oi crowd either (and apologies if I have misunderstood your point).

I think it was an example of what someone could do in service to the country.

Ergo it is meaningful to be proud of something that happened by the ‘accident of birth’ if you have, say, served overseas and/or served your country in an official capacity since you left school?

Woody Mann-Caruso said :

It’s meaningless to be proud of something that happened to you by accident of birth, rather than your own efforts. It’s like saying you’re proud of the sun because you happen to have been born in its orbit. If you think the country is great, then your patriotism is unfounded if you’ve done nothing to contribute to that greatness beyond being white and draping a flag around your bogan neck one day a year. Those who drive around in utes plastered with the Southern Cross have rarely done anything of value for the country beyond paying GST and excise on rum, and seek to exclude those who actually have made the country great, including entrepreneurs (rich snobs), intellectuals (smart-arse snobs) and industrious immigrants (wog c*nts).

Ergo it is meaningful to be proud of something that happened by the ‘accident of birth’ if you have, say, served overseas and/or served your country in an official capacity since you left school?

What about if you’ve done that AND represented your nation in sport?

No, its pretty much the Canberra equivalent of putting someone in the stocks and throwing sh_t at them.

Its kind of an attempt to demonstrate that while we might have a bunch of intelligent and thoughtful people reading RA, it is important to balance this with some self-righteous shock-jock behaviour at least once a week. The irony of people braying like yobs, while attempting to put alleged yobs in their place, seems to be part of the fun.

You went to inala high but your worried about a mosque across the road? I’d have thought that life in inala would have tought you to be more concerned about drug wars between Vietnamese gangs, race wars between the Samoans and the Aborigines and family feuds amongst the Italians. I grew up in Redbank/Goodna and can understand your sentiments about the Vietnamese girls though.

This intrigued me and possibly also the people who own shops there. I can assure JenJen and the shop owners of Nicholls that I won’t be crossing the barricades designed to keep non-Nicholls scum like me out.

While I have no problem with the proposal to build a church of any kind, despite my non-beliefs. The minister for drink driving saying phooey to what seem like legitimate complaints about the centre proposing to only have use of the existing parking shows how little regard chairman jon and cronies have for the community. Watching WIN news and seeing Hargreaves saying “the whole world has parking problems, the parking problems will just come to Nicholls and they will have to deal with it” or similar, it makes me want to go and punch the fool in the face and every moron who voted for him. Just another excuse for a lack of planning and common sense.

Just scrap all the bullshit jenjen wrote.

Sounds grouse, Auntem! I think I need more buckets.

Granny said:

“The only dilemma I have is which bucket to wear to the meeting? Should I go with the blue or the red?”

I think a nice blue and red tartan may do. We can do a highland fling, pick some roses, have lunch on the porch and throw our scraps at the “rate payers”.

I’m a Canberran who has never been to Gungahlin, so I stand to be corrected, but I didn’t think there were any elite suburbs there. Are there really? I understood from newspaper reports that it’s a place with mean nature strips, tiny blocks, and terrible traffic jams because there are only one or two roads out of the place. Doesn’t sound like a place where people with money would live.

I got plenty and I live there

I-filed the whole of Gungahlin is populated with people who sold up in the 90’s because they could get a bigger house out there or people of my generation who climbed onto the first rung of the property ladder, buying a $100k 3 bedroom, single garage, tiny block house and, in some cases, upgraded to a bigger place in another Gungahlin suburb.

The place might be alright in a dozen or so years but, at the moment, it’s got nothing to offer someone who lives in the inner North or South.

If you move to “upper” Braddon you may get upset about people stomping all over your precious suburb to visit Civic or to (god forbid) park at St Johns in Reid or one of the ten (legal) places of worship in Braddon (upper or lower) to spend some their time wasted on “so called” prayer.

It’s all Gungers to me…

Face it, everyone who lives in their ideal location thinks that they live in an elite suburb. They have the good sense not to say it directly, but insinuate it all the time. What’s ironic about this thread is that half the ppl paying out jenjen live in dives in the Inner North which are only slowly becoming gentrified and less dive-like. But they’re always the first to bag places in Gungahlin etc, and act and talk about their own suburb as though they’re “elite”, too.

Not singling you out VY, just think the irony is delicious.

I think it’s a bit sad that certain styles of architecture are not considered, or toned down to prevent negative reactions from the inbreeders. I’ve seen some shocking examples of misplaced architecture but I don’t think the proposed building would be one of them.

A few buildings with a but of flair, inspiration and identity are surely better than the drab concrete pillbox style that seems to be in fashion. My faves are the Chinese Embassy and that building near Swinger Hill.

There’s those units down near Yarra shops that were put up a few years back, everytime I go past them I expect a few WWII Germans to run out yelling Achting! Schnell! Schnell! or something. Truly awful.

If people are offended by something a little different, they probably deserve it.

If making up a name for a section of your suburb, ala “Harcourt Hill”, makes the rest of the suburb “elite”, then, thanks to “Gleneagles”, I live in lower elite Kambah!
I never knew I was Canberran royalty. Noice.

There should be more emphasis in public life in freedom from religion over freedom of religion. But having said that, let me say this (apologies to Gogh), if the Catholics and the Prodies can have their pound of flesh in the public system (schools, churches, charities), so should the Muslims. Each to their own, as long as it doesn’t impact on anyone else.

It sure was cunning of you guys to spend years here commenting on almost every article, sleeper agents in deep cover just waiting for the inevitable thread critical of the CMC to be posted, so you could spring into action and thwart the good burghers of Nicholls…

Truly astounding!

O ho, Woody bin Laden al Jazeera! It is in fact I, Granny Abu Bakar Bashir al Hilali, who shall have all the goats in Nicholls. Stand aside, else the fleas of a thousand camels infest your armpits!

I obviously don’t live in the suburb because I am totally confused about this ‘heads in buckets’ thing. Is that just a Nicholls pasttime?

I don’t think parking will become too much of an issue, if everyone is sitting around with their heads in buckets, operating a motor vehicle is unlikely at best.

I used to live in Nicholls and it is an elite burb. There’s some brilliant houses there, but at the end of the day it is still an old farmers field that was worth $200 per acre before they put roads in.

Congratulations on the flame award jenjen. The parking at the shopping center used to piss me off too and land should definitely be reserved to extend it. I think you’re barking up the wrong tree, these places of worship usually add value to an area. We have a Hindu temple down the road from our rental and it looks great.

Frankly, I find some of the hideous houses in Nicholls far more offensive than what appears to be planned for the land adjacent to the shops. But I am happy to accept the whole “variety is the spice of life” theme.

bit disappointing to see brianh got pipped at the post, but jenjen was far more entertaining. Rate payers opinions, jenjen? does that include members of the CMC?

I suspect she’s not the type who can be reasoned with, but, true, I haven’t tried to.

jenjen,

You’re comments come across as if you don’t beleive Muslims pray and that you think the proposed CMC will become some den of iniquity. If this isn’t the case I’m sorry, I misjudged you. Can you please explain more clearly what you mean.

If you do beleive this is the case, however, then please take your head out of your Ar5e and get real. Even if Nichols was elite, which it’s not, I’m sure they wouldn’t want some 21st century Alf Garnett throwback, which you are, tarnishing their reputation.

May Allah bless your little cotton socks.

You’ve won a spot in my heart. I just LOVED your rant in the ‘evil muslims defile Nicholls’ thread.

Even I can say to the quote “elite suburb” that kelleway ave dosn’t look that elite as harcourt hill, but as explained with the phone conversation I had with the president of the GCC yesterday, the people of the elite side of Nicholls need not wory as the bulding won’t be like a great big Tashmahal, it will be to suit the surrondings, so when you look down from the mansion at harcourt hill the view will still be the mountians, not thoses things that they have on other mosque.

Hehe! The rest of Nicholls is going to be donating to the building fund.

So are Ngunnawal residents (like me) I’m sure, just to get her out of the district!

Hehe! The rest of Nicholls is going to be donating to the building fund.

At least she’s calling it Nicholls and not trying to claim it as Harcourt Hill like all the pretenders south-east of Curran Drive. 😉

Die Lefty Scum4:20 pm 17 Jul 09

I can just picture the grandeur of jenjens palace in upper-elite Nicholls:

– Nauseatingly large house with nauseatingly small yard within arms length of another nauseatingly large house with nauseatingly small yard
– Theatrical Roman archway entrance
– views of the lovely Gold Creek golf course (which incidentally will have disappeared within 5 years) should her elite family ever decide to take up such an elite sport
– A pool-room downstairs adourned with autographed Brocky memorabilia
– 80″ LG Plasma with surround sound as a centrepiece for the living area, with a minimum of 1 TV per room thereafter
– 3 car garage for housing the VT Monaro, Rex and accompanying SUV for collecting the kiddies from elite GC primary.

and naturally…

– full stainless-steel smeg appliances throughout.

Now if only I could seal that 60k+ salary the dream could be mine…

Brianh said :

Well, you surely must get an honorable mention for one of your posts earlier in that topic, and for starting it all, Brian. Your post was more of a meandering rant, not a flame per-se, so that probably kept you out of the medals.

I am going to have to try harder.

I thought Charnwood was the elite area of canberra.

If this transaction goes ahead say goodbye to our elite suburb and our family we will be out of here.

Honey, I’m sure Nicholls will be a much more ‘elite’ suburb without your racist face in it. Do us all a favour and take your narrow-minded bigotry off to Camden where I’m sure you’ll be welcomed with open arms.
