How about pay extra not to be jammed in between two fat sweaty bastards?

QANTAS should put me on the books to go around making the cheap ****s pay more on flights to avoid sitting next to me

Old wogs are usually more entertaining than the drivel on tv.

Maybe you could charge the airlines for the privilege of your talents?

Or have an extra for "old wog man" feature in certain European vehicles?

I wonder how many people know that in Europe your TV needed to be registered and you paid a yearly fee on each one to access the 'free' channels?

Was the case last time I visited Europe, wonder if it still goes on? And yes, people would be dobbed in for using an unregistered TV apparently.

Cruise ships have been doing it since Noah built his.

I guess we take many things 'free' things for granted but it won't be long before we have more 'user pays' type situations for everyday stuff.

It irks me that several houses recently built adjacent, are capitalising on my leafy yard as their “leafy views”. Perhaps I can either bill them via a subscription or put up 9m high screens?

That was once the case here in Australia. A van would drive around seeking out TV BFO's, then checking from a list to see if a licence was valid for the address. Being labour intensive, the searches were random.

Hahaha..love it. Let your yard become overgrown until the neighbours complain, then suggest if they wish to pay monthly subs, you would gladly tidy up.

Hang around your backyard completely naked - that'll stop nosey neighbours looking into your yard, costs less than 9M screens

Or will it?

[Citroënbender]

They’d probably stream it on OnlyFans, keeping the profits.

I hear what you’re saying and I’m looking into it, but man it’s hard to not wanting to drive the mustang as I love the way it feels and drives.
Unfortunately I’m not getting any younger I do like the new ranger/Everest

I’m just imagining the no thanks coming from BMW buyers who are being subjected to this form of penny pinching.
It’s a great way to drive premium buyers into the waiting arms of Tesla……BMW counting on brand loyalty that’s about to evaporate.

Rubbish. The features touted as subscription are standard items in vehicles such as mine. BMW should be wary of attracting people to its brand that really should stick to junk like Kia, Toyota etc.

You'll own no heated seats, and you'll be happy.

Yep the old radio/TV license!
I also remember a coin in the slot box beside the TV… couple of pennies got you a nights viewing
Gas meter similar!… Hot shower.. coin in the meter!
Even servos had un-manned 2 bob coin box on the wall for petrol.. (used to jump on the hose to get last drop out)
