Good one, Skipton! Keep 'em coming. (Am now waiting for Dougal to complain that Seamus should be Bruce, Tylenol should be paracetamol and Maalox should be Gaviscon).

You are constantly whining about jokes which reference a world outside of Australia. It's just a joke. Give it a rest!

"I would say that most people over 35+ if they had to sit a drivers test the fail percentage would be quite large and I would most probably would be in that category." I am sure you are right - and I would be in that category with you. However, if I received a fine and discovered I was in the...

The article said the penalty was dismissed. I couldn't find anything in the article about a Section 10 or a caution.

Dougal, apparently you never get the joke. If you don't have the intellectual capacity to understand the jokes, perhaps you should just skip reading them and give yourself and us a rest from your endless whining.

"parking within 10 metres of an intersection with no traffic lights". And it's 20 metres if the intersection has traffic lights. That's the law in WA and always has been for the 40+ years that I have been driving. It's also the law in every state of Australia. It's in the handbook that you...

Of course you don't.

Unfortunately, that is not true. They no longer stand by their lifetime guarantee. They wriggle out of it by saying that the damage is "impact damage", which is not covered by the lifetime guarantee and you have absolutely no recourse.

Dougal, you give the word obtuse a whole new depth of meaning.

Maybe it wasn't the asphalt but the "bitchumen".

Waiting for someone to object to this because it is an American cartoon... (Just kidding, Skipton - thank you for your contributions - they are much appreciated).

When I got married 43 years ago, Tupperware was expensive but it was very good quality and came with a lifetime guarantee. I am still using Tupperware that I got for wedding presents and that my mother bought 50-odd years ago. I wish I could say the same for the Tupperware I purchased 20 years...

There's not much I wouldn't do again but the first answer which comes to mind is BINGO. A friend once dragged me to a bingo night. I was bored to tears.

Well, that's a "rule" I've never heard before. Seems to me that if you don't get a joke and have to research it, it's a great opportunity to learn something new and broaden your mind.

They can google it - it only takes a few seconds to find out. Or are you against the opportunity to learn something new? It is unreasonable to assume that, because something is American, the average Australian won't understand it. You are underestimating your fellow Australians. Just...

If you are going to be picky about grammar, shouldn't your sentence read "I am fully in support of your suggestion, (delete the unnecessary comma) and refer to yesterday's item on the decline of English grammar in Australia? Just asking... Seriously, the decline of English grammar in Australia...

That's just rude!

Yes, you've already said that. It's just a joke!

Re Hooters - if you want to know more about Hooters, you can visit their restaurants in Penrith, Parramatta, Campbelltown, Gold Coast and soon to a town near you. (hootersaustralia.com.au).

Well, I'm Australian and I understood it perfectly. There's enough racism in the world without petty people objecting to an innocent joke because it commits the cardinal sin of referring to a world outside of Australia. Thanks for the joke, Skipton. Some of us have a sense of humour and...
