  1. Very close according to what I just read on the 'net, the late bars are close to 7, regular hours its 5.50 to 5.90. Down under in the trendy Perth city centre bars its probably around $12.
  2. No comments please about Phil being 'well hung'.
  3. Since when did it only require one council worker to dig a hole; it takes at least three.
  4. As they say in Norway, you're flogging a dead Norse. Thread hijacking seems to be the rule rather than the exception on so many Oz based forums.
  5. If it was Wales it would be something like "Dim Knocking Shoppio"
  6. "My next door neighbour's Son" needs some Australian training in time management :-)
  7. I always thought it was "I want her booty".
  8. Not forgetting the taking of 'selfies' for said FB posting.
  9. Hyundai Excels driven by late teen or twenty something females
  10. That's another issue, not helped by motoring associations that are more interested in selling holidays and insurance than worrying about their driving members.
  11. A significant issue Phil is the type of conversation. When phone legislation was first mooted it raised a number of issues including the use of two-way radio. Radio exchanges tend to be brief and mainly an exchange of information e.g. an ATC instruction. Phones tend to be used for longer exchanges and often involve some degree of thought. Some transport companies even prohibit the use of hands free in their vehicles when in motion due to the increased distraction value.
  12. The reality is that there are many actions, if determined to be affecting your attention to driving, that could lead to prosecution. Passing specific legislation on phones was intended to simplify things for both the public and the plods.
  13. Got it, I'm not so slow after all
  14. I cannot fathom the logic in increased penalties for assaults on the police. They have tazers, batons, pepper spray and guns. However, as joe public I can't carry anything without the risk of being charged for carrying an offensive weapon, even though it would be for defensive purposes. I do though support additional protection from assault on ambos, firies and similar.
  15. Ummm, so are you saying a deposit on bottles makes South Australia potentially a less corrupt state? Interesting.
  16. Nobody so far has mentioned about people buying political seats using extensive advertising paid out of company funds.
  17. Just how many times do you have to be told that your interpretation is incorrect. You have a fundamental misunderstanding of risk management, perhaps you should get a job with CASA?
  18. Another couple of attempts to update proved futile. Windows support couldn't hold up a grandad's truss. I think I'll see how long I can make Win 7 last last and hope that something better will have come along in the meantime.
  19. Sorry, but it is you that is wrong. The statement made is absolutely true. PPE is there for the residual risk that may exist *after* suitable controls have been put in place. In your examples, appropriate controls are an engineering solution to mitigate both the noise and the dropped object issue. A fatality from a 50kg object falling from a few metres is not going be prevented by a plastic hat. Sadly ignorance such as this pervades many industries.
  20. A terrible generalisation; one that I'm sure Microsoft developers will love. Thank god I'm not a 'most home user', but more thankfully I am not an opinionated nerd.
  21. H Especially as there are strong indications that from Win 11 onwards the OS will be subscription based.
