while we do a regular shop at Aldi, there are some products there were won't buy (again). their quality, especially in the meats, seems to be a bit 'hit and miss'. additionally, if there is only 'one' of a product, and it's from <somewhere I'd prefer not to buy from> then there is (rarely) a...

oh look, takata airbags - again. did they learn nothing from their last f'up?

look - not surprised. accidental inhalation of even small quantities can cause death; it's in many tumors; in the gaseous form it can cause burns; in solid form it can cause hypothermia; can corrode many metals - all in all a dangerous chemical that should be banned. /s ;)

rather than a 'communist country', perhaps a 'penal colony'?

I meant to add to my earlier post... "where there's a will, there's a relative" :/

I am not a lawyer nor do I play one in a TV show... it would seem to me that anyone could wander up and say "several years ago when I was visiting her, granny promised me <insert valuable item(s) here>." sadly, there is no way to verify such a claim, it could well be true. or not. the only...

keep in mind, it's not the "Government's money", it's our money collected via the myriad of taxes, stamp duties and other levies. stop believing the lie that if the government 'gives' you money, that it's "free money", it's not.

I suspect you'll find that as the offense was (supposedly) near Hartley on the Great Western Highway, any court appearance would be at Lithgow - i.e. "most convenient" for NSW State Revenue, and not for Ms Maughan. And Lithgow is some 6 and a half hours drive from Baranduda according to google maps.

sad to say, "common sense" is a very rare commodity now days. as you have no doubt noticed :/

I've picked up a "free" knife from coles' current giveaway. And while I'm no spring chicken, I was asked for ID, which I gladly provided. the Coles' employee was most apologetic and said he could see I was old enough, bu the had to check anyway. Anyway I was fine with that. And we both had a...

the problem with the speed cameras is that there is no "immediate" correlation between the 'crime' (speeding) and the 'punishment' (fine in the mail days or weeks later). I am of the opinion that more Police presence - both mobile and visible, or stopped at the side of the road with a radar...

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 ;)
