  1. I wouldn't go as far as Litespeed but he is a waste of space.

    Heard him on the radio the other day talking up the Macquarie Point white elephant and saying that if the Tasmanian government doesn't build it, no business will trust them.

    Absolute shite. There's probably about 2000 people in Tassie who physically regularly go to the football, and most of them are from the north of the state.

    I don't particularly care whether Tassie gets a football team or not, but to my mind the AFL have acted like absolute c**ts in mandating, as a deal-breaker, a new billion dollar stadium which the state can't afford in prime waterfront land which should be mixed use restaurant/ park/ boulevard etc.

    Yeah. You can't trust those Bikies. Lock up your grandmothers when THEY come to town. I've Never been able to afford Leathers. Are they any good against Timber trucks? Nev

    Well, when I say "leathers" I'm only talking about jacket, boots and gloves - I would like some leather pants at some point but it's jeans at the moment. 

    Not sure that I would want to take on a log truck regardless of outfit, or vehicle for that matter.

    Grandma is safe.

    I read a report where a US visitor to Australia, in a social media post, expressed amazement that here you fill up the car before going in to pay. Drive-offs and fuel theft became so rampant in the US, it is now normal to have to go in and prepay for your fuel.

    Plenty of CCTV around fuel pumps. If you drive off without paying they know your rego.

    What made me laugh the other day is when I walked into the service station in my leathers with helmet to buy some chips for the kids, and the attendant asked if I had filled up as well - but there were no motorbikes near the pumps.

    Nev was on the right track, but not quite there. The answer to take the $40,000 was

  5. Horses for courses.

     

    Battery swap is probably good for trucks and other commercial vehicles, where the spares can be recharged at the depot and the truck isn't losing valuable time off the road being charged.


    For cars, especially under current ownership model, probably doesn't make sense.

  6. Want less crime?

    Fund high quality universal early childhood education.

    Do free nutritious school lunches.

    Provide free dental care. (Health not cosmetic).

    Those things alone would help bring down the crime rate.

    As others have said, the better the society, the less crime.

    People who are healthy and well educated are far less likely to offend.

  7. Maintained?

    Our ride on was inherited from my father in-law when he popped his clogs about 10 years ago.

    I use it about 3 times a year during summer. Fill the tank every 2 years. Still starts first time.  Never even looked at the blades, except to remove a length of aluminum bar that someone had left in the paddock and that the mower turned into a pretzel.

  8. Israel played him brilliantly.  So much for "art of the deal".  This bozo has been led by the nose by every (other) dictator and right wing nutjob leader in the world.

    Even his own stupid base are against the US being in any other wars.  But no, Donny the dickhead has been trumped by NetAnYahoo who needs a never ending series of wars to avoid prosecution when he is finally forced out of office.

    Both these clowns remind me of Gadaffi, and hopefully meet the same end.

  9. I've been robbed.  It's shit but you get over it.  Didn't have insurance on that bike either. 

    As annoying as it is for all the victims, bet they're fully insured.

    When I saw number 3 it reminded me of the Blues Brothers.
