If all else fails , there is an item called a "Jarkey" that works to break the airlock. Costs about $ 6

Chris Bowen must be bursting with pride and feel vindicated

So the idiot of a judge said that he "showed remorse". She then took that into account when sentencing him. The only remorse that he felt was because he was caught.

Interesting that the fines are different in each state. While safety is of course of paramount importance, differing fines does suggest that revenue raising is also a consideration by the states.

Just remember. You have the power. It's called the DELETE key

This would penalise those who have been frugal and provided for their retirement. They do not receive or apply or are eligible for a government pension or the various rebates granted eg. reduced power and license fees. They are self funding their retirement and not relying on government...

This is a picture of Mr. and Mrs. Hitler and their son Adolf This is a picture of Mr. and Mrs. Hussein and their son Saddam This is a picture of Mr. and Mrs. Amin and their son Idi If only they had used Durex

With estimates varying between 3 million and 23 million, it is obvious that our beaurocrats overseeing the issue have no idea of the extent or otherwise of the problem. They should all be fired and replaced by people who could address the situation.

More red tape from beaurocrats who seem to have nothing better to do but think of ways to complicate our lives and generate more cash for their governments to spend. What was wrong with the old system apart from the fact that it did not need more government employees? Grumpyoldman

The fines are excessive. Councils and the police hide behind the comment of "Road Safety", when in reality it is largely a major source of revenue that they are protecting. $140 for an expired parking meter and $198 for "incorrect " parking in a shopping center parking lot. Their pathetic cries...

How do you get 100 little old ladies to shout " F...U" Call "BINGO"

I have 2 files. One is a lever arch file (showing my age) and another on Gmail. Both are marked as "Permanent". These are where I store all my purchases that come with guarantees. Having all in one spot makes it easy to find when needed. I periodically clear out those that have expired. grumpyoldman

when the NBN was rolled out in our area, we kept our old landline number. I use this number when I buy some things on the net. The number is NOT connected to any phone and just has a message asking the caller to leave a message. This keeps scam calls to a minimum on my mobile. As long as you...

New South Wales Disability Parking Sticker - Use overseas While in London last August, I found out that there is a reciprocal agreement between NSW and the UK regarding the use of my blue NSW disability parking sticker I used it to get disability parking when attending a function at Epson...

If they are so concerned about our health, the solution is surely not to use "tax" as a reason to try to force us to drink less cold drinks. Why not rather promote an alternative? It is cheaper to buy a litre of milk than a litre of cold drink. This would also help support our farmers...

There is already a de facto congestion tax. Why is there a "time of day" rate applied to the Sydney harbour bridge and tunnel over the weekends ? Surely the lowest rate should apply from Friday evening to Monday morning. eg. from 18.00 on friday to 06.00 on monday. Grumpyoldman

So I must spend between an extra $20,000 to $40,000 on a new car to save $1,000 per year I am 78 years old and the chances of me driving another 20 to 40 years are about Nil. The projected "saving" does not come even close to covering the cost difference by me replacing my car Does not make...

And people get paid for this research. As a joke we would sneak up on a friend who was sleeping. We would place one of his fingers into a glass of water. 2 glasses were then used, 1 full of water and the other initially empty Stage next was to pour water from the full glass to the other...
