But how did he take the picture?

I’ve ended a relationship because the girl drove like an impatient bafoon. If you have a superiority complex about a speed limit in residential areas, I’ll sit in the passenger seat railing about how you’re such a shit driver. Just drive the speed limit and gently.

It’s about as annoying as young people abandoning any and all punctuation entirely the amount of people that will write an entire paragraph and not use a single period is obscene if you can’t bother to organize your thoughts in the most minimal way I’m going to assume you have nothing of worth to say and just won’t read it and frankly, if what you’re saying is so boiler plate you don’t need punctuation then you really don’t have anything to add so probably just shouldn’t

Outside the US it’s uncommon to require insurance on the property.

Hang on hang on hang on let me spend $100,000 on consultants to tell me what I want to think.

Tasmania election, the Labor leader immediately conceded defeat and didn’t want to entertain the idea of forming a coalition with anyone, especially the Greens. I mean like, what a loser, by her own choosing.

Years ago on twitter some random disabled guy called Dutton a “rape apologist”, and got sued to oblivion and utterly destroyed his life and family.

This guy is a monster.

Luckily he thinks he can become prime minister without the “woke left city dwellers” (most Australians live in cities), and is pushing a ludicrous nuclear energy agenda that is devoid of financial or environmental logic. So I’m fairly confident Albo will get re-elected.

In Australia we believe in equality, so I’ll piss off all the states.

Victoria : “afDanistan”, wokeville. Small latte drinkers who don’t have a driver’s licence. Labourers and Stop/Go people on $200,000.

New South Wales: dumb boomers on $3m property. Driving at 80kmh on their Learner drivers plates. Shit at rugby. Sydney nightlife ends at 9pm.

South Australia: “oh yeah I have an auntie there I think.” Nothing to do. Their water tastes funny. Churches everywhere. Weird 1.5hr timezone.

Western Australia: If you want to know why there’s a wait time for Toyota’s, it’s bloody WA buying them all. Full of cashed up bogans in lifted land cruisers. Have to watch footy at lunch time because they are 3 timezones away. If you are anti social and don’t mind a 6hr drive to anywhere live there.

Tasmania: 10 people live there with a mild sense of imbreeding. Looks kinda nice, but why would you go to Tassy if you can go to New Zealand for the same price.

Northern Territory: biggest employers, the mines and Pine Gap (the CIA base). Otherwise it’s Australia’s poverty lane.

Australian Capital Territory: Australia’s Uni campus. A concrete jungle, a tiny town where we keep the big wigs who are driven everywhere in black BMWs or Camry’s.

I live in a small unit that had dusty ultra-compacted dirt around the house that was called a lawn. I broke the soil with a hoe, threw a few bags of soil mix down and planted some moss I harvested growing wild down the laneway. 2 years later the ground is mostly covered in a spongey moss. Give it a few more years it’ll be completely covered and thick.

It requires virtually no mowing and needs little water. Apparently growing moss is even good for air and ground water purification. Not sure how much purifying it’s doing but it’s good to know I’m doing my little part.

If you have a small yard, grow moss.

“So Mr President what has your government done for young families and in particular childcare and parental leave on your 4 years that will rally up the democratic base come 2024?”

“Taxes? Isn’t this the line for Metallica?”

Living in apartments.

In a lot of cities and towns living in apartments is seen as something that young adults who are renting short term do, and definitely not families or older couples.

Living in an apartment is considerably cheaper for my situation. I drive so much less, I pay for less power, and I have all this parkland around me.

I’m a car guy and I don’t have a garage, that’s annoying, but I commute by escooter now and drive on the weekends. It’s much better.

Teachers should be paid 50% more. If you want good teachers to stay, you have to walk the walk, otherwise you’ll get a perpetual cycle of overwhelmed grads being bossed around by rusted-on bottom teer heads.

I’ve owned many cars and ran a van hire company.

Look at the owners manual in your car, and it will say trips less than a couple of miles are considered severe duty, and the oil needs to be changed more often. Your can get condensation in the engine that can break down the oil faster.

Cold starts are where most of the wear and tear occurs.

Driving 1.5miles twice a day everyday is a sure way to drain the car battery and multiply the wear and tear on the engine. Short trips are fine occasionally, but sooner rather than later the check engine light will pop up.

If practical a trailer is a good option. Get a tow hitch and just rent a trailer when you need. Moved house with my Suzuki and a 6x4 enclosed trailer.

In Asia they sell thousands of those Japanese and Korean mini trucks and vans, but they are designed for roads 80kmh and below. In Australia we have the Hilux 2wd utes which are small and bare bones. But for every one of those, Toyota sell 20 HiAce vans.

Are you saying that industries such as the automotive industry exploit nameplates born in the 60s? I thought the Charger, Challenger, Bronco, Mustang, Blazer and Ford F truck were all original names and designs.

I am envious of my stepdad who can turn off his hearing aids without anyone looking at family dinners. Family members can be throwing the Trump this and Clinton that, and he’s just 😐
