  1. Our local supermarket had ' armed security ' untill someone actually fired his ( male ) pistol. Like a limp cracker , possibly a 22 calibre. No big bang to make us ' shake in our boot's. Just a quiet crack ! , so the thief kept running . Then, the police arrived and promptly arrested the security officer. spacesailor
  2. The " gun clubs " still have " pistol " firing-range's . We're else would civilian security personnel get their tickets . Certainly , no help from the police . spacesailor

  6. I had a thermal runaway on a 'new Aldi solar rechargeable torch ' , my daughter had it plugged into her car, and also in the the windscreen. so, getting triple heating .

  14. I remember all this ' anti murderer ' in the case of " Lindy Chamberlain " . Such an evil mother ! . spacesailor
  15. He accused her of being evil !. Before the deaths of her family . Normally you would think ,' she was in shock '. spacesailor
  16. But the Earth itself is blowing it's top . Volcanoes spouting their anger , all around the globe ! . Could another ice-age develop , and force the mere mortals to get their shit together & consolidate their dwindling resources into survival mode . spacesailor

  23. Some upmarket EVs have a ' designer motion noise ' , that plays on the media player . I think that is a complete waste of time & money . but the kids may enjoy it !. Zooooom . spacesailor
  24. We , ( on the Blue mountains ) were waved on by the ' traffic police ' , because only 4wd Vehicles could navigate the detour, through a flooded road . The rest of the vehicles had to wait hours, before that road was reopened. We watched it on the TV news , after getting home , So if a competent vehicle can ' safely ' navigate a flooded road . Why penalise that driver ! . Who knows , it could be an ses volunteer getting to a larger emergency, rather than a couple of feet of water . My ' deepest ' creek crossing was to the bottom of the windscreen, Towing a heavy rope , to be used for a stranded vehicle recovery . All successful completed. spacesailor PS. : our " snorkel " is not for water crossings. But to keep the " air-filter " out of the duststream " . When in convoy.
  25. Holden's were just as bad . A work colleague bought a brand new H Q Kingswood . At the dealer's , he slammed the door shut and both the window winder & door handle fell onto his lap !. The dealer had to open the driver door to let him catch a taxi, at their expense . My 'old ' Holden had " reciprocating ball bearings" in the steering box ! . That left a ' lot of play ' in the steering wheel. And those five stud wheels had four studs to hold the wheel to the hub assembly. spacesailor
