Victory! Lake Dickson is no more! Bow before my might you peasants!

At 5.35pm two days ago I noted that poor maintenance had brought Canberra a new lake in the heart of Dickson.

Here is the scene this morning:

Fast work!

So, how should I next put my mighty Alan Jones-like powers to the service of good and not evil?

[Also, this would appear to prove once again than whingeing on RiotACT is a good way to get things done]

I walked passed this spot at lunchtime today and I can tell you it is quickly returning to its former “Lake Dickson” glory. 1 shopping trolley plus a mass of mess and the waters are backing up again.

well you shoulda been if you’re going to make such claims! :p

8,000+ stories Jey, I’m sorry we haven’t been keeping our brag sheet up to date.

You’re welcome to go for a dig, they’re in there.

One or two more specific examples would be appreciated.

What about complaints about poor food preparation?

generally if we raise things that have occured due to a lapse in policy they get dealt with.

I can’t say we’ve ever changed a policy to my knowledge.

On the other hand I like to think we played a part in Aidan Bruford’s downfall.

I wasn’t been provocative, I’m genuinely curious.

And I should prolly mention that ‘he’ is a ‘she’, but I can’t say that I’m too bothered by it.

He dares to question! JB Release the hounds!

May I ask, in the past, what particular ‘whingeing on RiotACT’ has got things done?

The Wombles of Dickson Common did it

thats because you can’t spell individual NTP…

I’m not

You’re a unique snowflake simto, just like all the others.

it was Alan Jones himselh
using his Johnboy-like powers he made the water run uphill, inland to rejoin the inland sea that shall be the saviour of Australia’s fishing industry.

I thought I was the only kid who’d ever read the Alexander Bunyip Eats Canberra book… I’ve never looked at some of the monuments the same way again.

be careful what you wish for JB… you may have sgs worshipping you soon.

but good to see it has been cleaned. Or was it just dickson noodle house running out of stock 🙂

I think the no-nonsense aluminium NT-1 is more my/our style

Will you be getting a golden microphone to do Insatiable Banalities JB?

I’d just like to say that any attractive women wanting to test my sexuality (a’la Alan Jones) had better be prepared.

Know any show tunes, JB?
