Got my brekky cooked for me to take to work, a bacon and egg toasted sandwich to heat up at work. First time for a few weeks due to Mr J recovering from an operation. Means he is on the good side now!

ACCC charges Pratt with price-fixing lies

Billionaire cardboard king Richard Pratt, facing criminal charges for allegedly lying to a price-fixing investigation, has done the right thing by standing aside as Carlton Football Club president, says AFL boss Andrew Demetriou.

Carlton this afternoon announced that the Visy boss, one of Australia's richest men, would put his football club duties aside until charges against him were resolved.

Corrupt corporate f#@ker. Watch him get a suspended sentence, or home-stay or something.

Yeah like I can see a 73 year old billionaire serving gaol time. He will plead ill health or that his life will be endangered by the other inmates to get out of being incarcerated.

Geez L, we have heaps in common.
I like the finish to Lexus cars, they seem to put a bit more effort into them.
Plus we are showing our support for the club in another way.

Plus they won't "retard" the bank balance, and they make a statement instead of just looking bland and negative, if you get my meaning.

--->acetone in fuel said to increase mileage

40 ltrs = 1-3 ounce of acetone

In 50 ltrs I put 2 ounce's.

I purchased a 1 litre bottle of 100% acetone at Bunnings for $12

$12 a litre doesn't sound cheap to me, I can get a litre of unleaded for $1.56

It's not like you to get the facts out eh?

1 litre = 32 ounce

32 divde by 3 = 10 that's $1.20 per 60 litre tank. And if you get 40% more mileage, I'll say $1.20 spent is $40 saved.
