Things that make you go.......WTF?

The father probably left the Army because he continually failed weapons safety.

People who leave anonymous notes on your car when you're parked outside your own house but in front of their opposite driveway.

Now usually I park further down so they have easy access, but someone had parked in front of my house further down so I took the next available, fully intending to move when the other person left.

Go out to move my car and there's a note saying I'm parked illegally (it's not). Seriously, if you can't figure out how to park when someone is across the road from your driveway then hand in your license. Why can't you go and knock on someone's door and nicely request they move because you're too inept to reverse in rather than leave a poorly spelled, passive aggressive note on their windscreen.

I'm going full Zen mode to avoid angry/aggressive response, because passive aggressive arseholes are best dealt with through actual aggression, but nothing will be served by it other than my ego. So I'll breathe deeply and be like water, flowing around the ugly turd across the road.

Nah, wait til dark and go over the road, jack their car up, take the wheels and leave it on blocks and just to be a cnut pump a full can of expanding foam straight into the exhaust/muffler. Or petrol tank if you REALLY feel like a cnut.

It's a real problem with our society, I think. We're increasingly scared of talking to other people, so we've become a society of conflict avoiders and passive aggressive note writers.

I understand his Wife is ill but WTF is with the Victorian Police Commissioner walking away a few weeks after the ALP won power?

He couldn't have just gone on leave and walked away at the end of January?

As for his wife and privacy, he bought her illness up as a reason. Notice I said reason not excuse.

I don't think I'm heartless more I think I am realistic about a professional person in a very Public Politically appointed role resigning the moment a new Government is elected.

[Tannin]

He is, of course, a former member of the Liberal Party. But he has been an excellent chief and seems very professional in all his dealings: is there any reason we shouldn't simply take his announcement at face value?

[Jezza]

Precisely Tannin!

If the man has personal issues to deal with then who am I to begrudge his resignation even though the Labor Party has only been in power for a month in Victoria.

The same could be said for Simon Overland who resigned courtesy of intense public pressure a few months after the Liberals were voted into power in late 2010.

[1061]

He is, of course, a former member of the Liberal Party.

Well that explains a lot doesn't it, too me it does anyway.

[HAL]

In any case, Where specifically, does [quote] Well that explains doesn't it him or her it do it?

[1061]

BIOYA tinhead!

[Jezza]

He is, of course, a former member of the Liberal Party.

Well that explains a lot doesn't it, too me it does anyway.

Being a member of the party for just six months in 1999 doesn't explain his decision to resign today.

You're just trying to find excuses as to why he resigned that simply aren't there or haven't been alluded to. I'm willing to believe he resigned because his wife is ill unless other reasons or motivations come to light in the future.

[think positive]

1061, if his wife dies shortly, your gunna feel like crap.

have you been in that position?

given his wife calling our "toughen up princess" when he was nearly in tears, ill take his word for it. cheers

/\ lol!

That's the perfect response!

That's a little harsh 1061. But it's also a legit point! Too many single mums with lots of kids all on benefits, and dead beat dads. However, how do you split the ones who made that choice, away from those who's husbands/partners walked, died, or abused them? While I'm guessing they would not be inclined to have children if that was the case, I still wouldn't want to impose more pain on them. We need a more personal, but fair way of dealing with welfare, full stop. if we stop the cheats, (yes including those having kids to get welfare) there will be more for those who really need it.
