It's not a nightmare if you watch Gordon Ramsy's? "nightmare kitchen" and people eat the shite. OMG.

On another note, some landlords (not you or your father) are more than happy to advertise a house with polished floor (ripped up carpet) boards.
And a stove with grease thicker than whats packed on a toorak old hag hairdressing social lites face. :shock:

Yeah it had me stumped, until recently there was a program on ch2 about her coming to Oz. Short story is, her husband financed her life.

Mate, I've seen some scary things as far as how people choose to live. Get back to us in 2 years after you you get used to living alone and doing housework (or not) on weekends. :P

Yeh, living alone's gonna take some getting used to. Been living with the folks for the past 18 mths and all I've done here is basically eat, shit and sleep. For 12 yrs or so before that it was either ex girlfriends or mates. I don't mind cleaning up after myself, I'm generally a tidy person and pretty fussy when it comes to hygiene, although not over the top. I've got zero tolerance for slobs, especially ones who expect others to clean up after them.

And I have been trying to fix the banner for it and it's still too bloody big!

Sadly, not any more.

He was taken off life support and passed away this morning.

Calls are now to not have the development series drivers compete at such technical and difficult tracks like that at Adelaide.

I agree, as crashing isn't always the best way to learn how to drive a race car.

I've got to say that there is something wrong with the way the driver was strapped in if he sustained massive head injuries.
He hit the wall sideways and should not have suffered those injuries.

Traveling at 200kph and hitting a concrete wall.
That is terrifying

He clipped the inside wall first, which totalled the steering, and after that, he was just a passenger.

As Maddy said, the major impact was enough to break the seat free of the cage, and as he did not hit the wall flush, that type of impact is also enough to cause some sort of injury.

A 200km/h impact in ANY vehicle is enough to injure anyone (unless they've been drinking or are on drugs).
