I haven't been to the CBD for at least two and a half years, probably won't go again.

Not so much Dan this time but Melbourne City Council.

Parts of Flinders, Spencer and Collins streets could be closed to cars at peak times under a Melbourne city council proposal to reduce the number of people driving through the CBD and prioritise pedestrians.

Blocking some city streets to private vehicles between set times each day and restricting car access to a single direction along others are key proposals in the scheme to make the city more walkable.

Thank you Lord Mayor Sally (Andy?) Capp. Phone zombies and cyclists win again.

65,000 years..

That's what the woman on The Voice advert says.

Saw a meme on FB showing Rolf's ashes urn. The comment was it should be mixed with urinal cakes and put in urinals so people could p1ss on them.

Even their ancestors migrated here from Africa 65,000 years ago.

Whatever it's called, it's all the same thing. I have nothing against aboriginals as individuals, just the same as I don't have anything against Indians, Asians, etc. I went to school with a few aboriginals, and they were black, not lily white like so many demanding special treatment these days. One of my brothers in law was part aboriginal. I just hate how we have to give up so much of our culture and acquiess to theirs. Why should I have to be welcomed to the country generations of my family were born in, at the drop of a hat?

An old trucker sat down in a diner and ordered a cup of coffee.
As he sat sipping his coffee, a young woman sat down next to him.
She turned to the wrinkled old gear jammer and asked, ‘Are you a real trucker?’
He replied, ‘Well, I’ve spent my whole life driving big rigs. I have delivered grain to breweries, I have carted machinery across the country, I have given rides at county fairs to lots of kids, and clocked up over 4 million miles, that's like to the moon and back 10 times  so I guess I am a trucker – what about you?’
She said, ‘I’m a lesbian. I spend my whole day thinking about naked women. As soon as I get up in the morning, I think about naked women. When I shower, I think about naked women When I watch TV, I think about naked women. It seems everything makes me think of naked women.’
The two sat sipping in silence.
A little while later, a young boy sat down on the other side of the old truck driver and asked, ‘Are you a real trucker?’
He replied, ‘I always thought I was, but I just found out I’m a lesbian!

Here we go again.

Not only do we have to have a Welcome to Country ceremony at the opening onf an envelope, now Geelong Council has cancelled Australia Day and turned it into an Indigenous Persons Day.

You're way out of line Red

Because every time I write something about D.A., you shoot me down in flames. I guess we agree to disagree.

Plough Inn, Stanley St, South Brisbane, ca.1939 (SLQ photo) and 1985 (BCC photo).

Don't kid yourself, Marty, big business will simply pass it down to customers in higher prices. The out of control debt should never have been created in the first place. Live within your means.

Thank you Dan Andrews for sending Victoria broke. $171 billion debt by 2026. Interest payments of $22 million per day. Highest taxed state in Australia, more than Qld NSW and Tas combined, and just gone higher.

All for Dan Andrews memorial monstrosities, and half finished things abandoned. The only memorial I want to see is his headstone, and a tiny one at that. One thing I can guarantee, he'll be remembered for many, many years.

I'd rather vote for the Neo Nazi's.

And before you start Facthunter, a lot of those things are good -if you can afford them.

Knocking down my house and building a 3 storey mansion might also be nice, but I can't afford it.

Another Qld one...

Untidy is only in the eye of the beholder. If things supposedly "scattered around" are placed for quick action when required, they are not untidy to the person using them, only some nosey parker poking around.
