Oh boy

You just don't have any idea about how much it takes to pull up a semi do you? 1.5 cars? I just shake my head.
About 3 car lengths or a semi doesnt feel safe if i recall correctly

Drivers that cut across lanes in round abouts, FFS if someone is just behind you in the other lane dont drift across and then look at me like ive murdered some one when my horn goes off

The city alarmist troop, at least 12 times i was in the city today visting my mates at RMIT on swanston(yeah i know uni holidays but they're behind) i dont care about Global warming or belive it'll end the world in a year, and dont preach to me about Rudd not doing anything when you were the drop kicks that voted him in i told you Howard was better or for that matter anyone with half a brain was better maybe another watch is needed :roll:

My works new store manager, now ok i understand she is the store manager but does she continually have to walk over me when i serve refunds? Yeah the policy is shit but its targets bloody policy and its hard enough to implent with out any one walking over one of the main rules of it.

A Cuz of mine drives trucks, often B doubles up to Darwin, but also does the Brisbane to Melbourne route a bit. They just DO NOT STOP like a car does. he was telling me how many close calls he's had with people cutting in front of him, then braking. He'd be lucky to feel the bump but they'd need blotting paper to get the body out of the car if he ran into it.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

All drivers should be made to spend 1/2 a day in a truck.

aaaah, drivers who clearly believe indicators are an optional extra and exercise the option not to use them.
Purveyor of sanctimonious twaddle.

See but that's assuming he had to "pull up". Don't you see? I was going faster, OVERTAKING. There aren't any traffic lights on a freeway.

When I first got my contact lenses, I use to touch the colour part of my eye, and that has no feeling in it. Then I would put the lenses in. Make sure your hands are wet, and clean, and they should just slide off your finger.

thanks! i was told my hand should be dry, not wet. otherwise they'll stay stuck onto my fingers...

so you touch the colour part of your finger without the contacts first? why? just to get your eye used to contact? i have a real problem with not blinking, even with my fingers stretching my eye lids open lol

My next door neighbour, who's party has been going two days now. And we've had the regulation,

crap music which all you can hear is the doof doof;
the hooning up the street, stubbies in hand;
the 3am dumb bitch bawling in the back yard (that happens at every one of these parties);
and the usual WOOOOOOOOOOO at the top of their voices, like they're at some rodeo in texas!!!!

These people are NQR and bogans. I've had an absolute gutfull of it!
"whaaa whaaaaaa!
