think before you click. if it seems to good to be true, it probably is. t.a.n.s.t.a.a.f.l. - their ain't no such thing as a free lunch.

so, I'm confused. I *must* wear a mask due to mandates, and now I must *not* wear a mask? talk about 'mixed messages' :/

oh lookie, "shrinkflation" ftw!

"everyone give up your cars!" (gives up car and doubles travel time using the piss-poor public transport network...) "why are you always late for work‽"

sadly, some councils (I'm looking at you Central Coast!) are removing motor-cycle parking near beaches to make one more car-parking spot. So, an area that can park 3 or 4 motorcycles / scooters is now reduced to one car/ute/yank-tank.

pretty much everyone has GPS in their pocket nowadays, cunningly disguised as a 'smart phone' (choose your poison). you can install an app that uses the GPS capabilities, and will alert you when you are over the speed limit for the current stretch of road. of course, this does not take into...

not far behind you - and only once. although I did fail an RBT this past week, but got off. I'd just used hand sanitiser about 10 mins before and the device detected that alcohol. so we did an alternate test and passed - 0.0 :)

indeed. there was one particularly disliked speed camera on Manns Rd, West Gosford NSW, that a speed camera, a camera watching it, another camera watching _that_ camera, and finally another camera watching *that* camera. they're all gone now ;)

the biggest impact I've seen on driver's attitudes is coppers in marked cars driving on the roads, with the occasional one with lights flashing behind a pulled over car. there needs to be more marked police cars out and about to get people to change their attitudes. oh, even better if there are...

they're beginning to act like HOAs (Home Owner's Associations) in the US.

t.b.h. been very happy with the SunRice 'microwave' pouches - nuke for 90 seconds and you're good to go :)

I was a professional driver in a 'past life' ;) It was eye-opening when I was driving for the NSW PTC (as it was back then) to celebrate the retirement of a older driver, and then 12 months or so later, be informed of his funeral. Driving a heavy vehicle is stressful - not just the pressures of...

I too refuse to buy from them - but the main reason is I can no longer afford them :/ my local 'foodmart' has an $11 bbq chook, less fat, more flavour. And with their loyalty card, the 11th one is 'free' (so, I guess I pay a little extra for the other 10 and have paid for the 11th already :) a...

if it's an "unspoken rule", how on earth are you supposed to know about it?

surely if these people were being supervised / observed by a teacher (or other member of staff), then the WWC would not be required for single afternoon. either the school has misinterpreted the regulation, or there is over-governing by the victorian (oh! what a surprise!) state government.

hmmm... two weeks heads up to get a card and some flowers (as the bare minimum)? not unreasonable. what they lazy bum could have done (as he obviously didn't get those) is get up make some breakfast - coffee / tea, eggs, toast - something to show just the smallest appreciation. of course, with...

true - so, when do the parents start doing so?

meh - typical family. the difference is, it's all played out in public. the rest of us get to have our squabbles in private, but not them. poor buggers.

and therein lays the problem! Services Australia will call - from a blocked number - and demand you give them personal identity information before they speak to you. how the flip do we *know* they are not a scammer? of course, it's like the old saying "I'm from the government and I'm here to...
