I thought Japan was so clean the norovirus wouldn't survive. There probably is. It is very clean but therein lies the problem......little or no immunity when it does hit. That and 120m people all living in relatively close proximity. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once went out with a lass from Leigh, didn't last long. I can't even remember her first name never mind her last, no doubt I wasn't a memorable shag either. A fair assumption if you didn't last long... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fae_the_'briggs Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Car drivers who clog up the entrances of petrol stations queueing for a (fuel) pump that's on right side to suit their car's filler cap. The pump hoses are long enough to reach to the other side of a normal car if you stop at the right place arseholes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its enjoyable, when idiots are waiting to use the correct side for their car, and then I pop in front to the other pump and simply pull the hose out.* *no euph. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Drivers who obviously don't know how average speed cameras work and slow down as they approach them. Drivers who cannot keep a reasonably constant speed whilst sitting in the outside lane on a dual carriageway. Including cars that probably have cruise control. Shit driving in general. On the journey to and from the game in Falkirk yesterday I encountered all of the above. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEADOWXI Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 100% ThisDrove Glasgow-Livingston-Aberdeen yesterday.Idiots slamming on brakes as they see average speed cameras.On 70 limit stretches I set cruise control at 75 and just relax. I can pass cars 2 or 3 times if I pass them and they suddenly decide to speed up to retake me, only to slow down again, or where they fly past at 80, Brake to 60 for the speed cameras ( In a fucking 70 zone why brake to 60????),Their speed and driving Yo-Yos about and they are a bloody nuisance as well as being a danger 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what the football threads are for. However since you brought it up here, it's sad that the most exciting think you have seen as a Dundee fan is us getting relegated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eednud Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Petrol pricing here. Last week it was low as 111.9 cents/litre, today it's 143.9 cents/litre. Yet the ACCC (Oz competition watchdog) monitors prices and does fuck all about price gouging. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WA has got a fuelwatch website so you know what the prices for each garage (servo) are for today and tomorrow. For some reason Monday is always the cheapest. I just had a swatch to see if SA had the same but apparently you used to but RAA don't do it anymore. $124.7 here plus another 4c off per litre at Puma with my RAC card. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used to have prices updated twice a day but last year a deal was done between the ACCC and fuel retailers that stopped this. Our useless State Government refused to do anything about it but they can't find where the electric meter is to top it up so that's not unusual. Do you know what they used to use in South Australia before candles? Electricty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine what it would be like here in a blackout as it's dark enough even with the street lights on. I reckon the bulbs are about 3 watts. I take it every house is stocked up with candles? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a joke and why we shouldn't have State Governments. Good supply of torches, candles, matches and batteries for the radio. At least we have gas for cooking, if you can find the stove in the dark. Your comment about the lights reminded me that when I first came here there were still a few councils that switched off street lighting after 11pm or midnight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of this, plus the absolute fucking arseholes who sit at 50mph on the single, then speed up to 75mph on the dual meaning you have to speed to overtake them to avoid sitting behind them at 50mph again on the single. I encountered a number of these spunkbuckets driving to and from Glasgow last week. Arseholes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
