Today I finally go to a bicycle shop to get an inner tube ... spares dept give me one not the right size - but it will work - go to front counter they might have the right one behind the counter - no one there - how long will I have to wait - can't be bothered waiting ...
all I achieved by driving there was to pick up rubbish on the way back to my car from the shop. I 'love' those plastic tooth picks that get used on the run these days and just dropped anywhere. The amount of rubbish on our streets is disgusting. |

Why do women have lots of kids to different fathers, or the same father, neither working, homeless, geez the poor kids!
Reading about a couple now in my morning paper, 10 kids and one on the way?.....nowhere to live, from Mandurah, renting but owner decided to sell house, gave them an extra 3 months to find another rental, geez they need a 5 bedroom + 2 bathroom home, from what I am reading both are on a type of Centrelink payment, now if you know you are getting kicked out of your rental you don't have another child? But I had a feeling it was to get right on top of the priority housing list, the area they live is called the Peel Zone, it encompasses a big area, all mostly on the ocean, the mother is saying " Mandurah is not equipped for big families" and at the end of the day my kids are suffering? Of course they are, because you either don't care about the health and welfare of your kiddies, or you are routing the system, both you and your "current boyfriend"......both of you are a disgrace, it seems to me you are a very selfish Mother and parent, you heard of contraception lady?......no?.....and why should you when every child you and your lazy boyfriend pop another one out...ching.. ching...the money just keeps rolling in from everyone else's taxes and hard work, yes you all sit on the beach whining about not getting a "free 5 bedroom + 2 bathroom home ![]() You make me want to vomit, and complaining that your kids can't have Christmas, what's next for you 2 lazy, bone idle reprobates, a "Go Fund Me" page, yuck, yuck and more yuck, excuse me while I vomit! ![]() |

A tale of two ****ers!
![]() I would of thought he could afford some decent patent leather boots!....arise Sir Lewis, don't roll off the tongue too well, not like Sir Jack (Brabham) or Sir Jackie (Stewart) 🤔 And if he won the Championship and beat a "German" by having 1 more than the Kraut, he would of got awarded a Lordship I suppose like Lord Botham, geez who thinks this **** up!.... ![]() |

You think he's unworthy because of the way he looks? Larry Nassar is white, clean shaven, a doctor and sexually assaulted hundreds of children.
Racism-fueled jealousy is a bitch, boys. ![]() |

I believe jaydee was talking about the way he dresses, skin colour never was never mentioned ...until you did.

My comment wasn't because he's black, but because he's a petulant child, if you followed F1 you would have seen some of his previous behaviour on the track and on the podium if he wasn't first but a minor placing. In the early days I used to cheer him on, because he was so young and cleaning up, but then he turned into a tosser. He's only had the corn cob rows in recent times, for what reason I don't know, he's half white half Jamaican, not Afro American So don't throw the racism hand grenade, it's a dud, you forgot to pull the pin.

I’m far more interested in the knighting-stool; some literature calls them an “investiture stool”. Would make a nice addition to the living room.

Or to do with a person's skin colour, religion or gender? I thought when looking at the photo, I instantly saw Hamilton's boots compared to Prince Charles patent leather shoes!..I dident notice skin colour at all. Secondly I looked at that "stupid" looking stool, I thought what cheap bastards, cut the legs, the back and one arm on a really nice chair! I dident see skin colour in any of the pics, but the others where he was dressed like a 1920's extra on a Charlie Chaplin movie, his clothes sense is shocking for such a high profile person, he looked really nice in his suit and tie etc, I could see nothing wrong with Jaydee's comments! |

It has little to do with "my idea of what's right or wrong" and mostly just about not being a ****. Would you say it to his face? No? Then why put it out on the internet at all? It's interesting that people will happily say dickish things about him, knowing he isn't looking, but then take issue when they think I'm being a dick to them. At least I'm telling you to your (virtual?) face and not behind your back on a public website. If you all say that racism had no place in it, I still disagree but okay, I'll take your word for it, but my other point still stands. You're publicly shaming someone because of how they look. "This" got knighted? Are you jealous? If he wants to dress like that, so what? Who is he hurting? What are you hoping to achieve by putting someone down because you don't like how he looks? Does he have a bad character? He's not touching kids, sticking women with needles or assaulting people. Haven't we got enough **** in the world to deal with at the moment? In the same vein, slowsnake, you pretty much use this forum as your own personal soapbox to rant and vent about whatever gets your goat that day. Doesn't bother me, but why is how you post okay and how I post not okay? edit: btw healthy debate is good. feel free to reply and tell me what i'm wrong about and why.

Just a fun fact;
The clothes that Sir Lewis wears are designed and provided by Tommy Hilfiger, who happens to be a good friend of Sir Lewis' and also a sponsor at the Mercedes AMG Formula 1 team.

LH received his knighthood in recognition for his services to motorsport. It's not like he was being recognised for having good (or otherwise) dress sense or wearing popular (or otherwise) hairstyles.
Time to move on.

And more fool Sir Lewis for allowing Hilfiger to dress him like that, they used to do it to Stevie Wonder, but he was "blind" Sir Lewis isn't but to knowingly wear big name clothes to make younger folk go out and buy them is one thing, but to look like a down and out bum, and do it for profit is disgraceful, and then encourage his younger fans to spend their hard to come by money on Hilfiger high priced junk is despicable!

To me Sir Jack Brabham deserved his, he designed and built his own cars with a mate who was an engineering genius, the built his own engine with Australian company Repco, and then he drove them! Yep that's worthy of a Knighthood!.. ![]() But Sir Lewis is just a taxi driver, driving a company taxi, they supply the car, he drives it from A to B for a hour once a week and then goes home! Comes back a week later for another shift, well that's my take on it all! ![]() |

One of my neighbors has been living with her daughter in Melbourne due to poor health for a number of months now. You will often see the house across the street in many of my detailing pics. I have been collecting and forwarding her mail, mowing the lawn and now that summer is here, watering the garden.
I installed a couple of timers on the taps so I can set and forget. I noticed today some low life bastard has stolen the hose connector and the very old, vintage Pope Capitol sprinkler from the front garden. ![]() The sprinkler, similar to the one below, is made of solid metal and are better than the cheap crap available in Bunning's these days. ![]() I mean, who steals a garden sprinkler, let alone the $2.00 hose connector as well? ![]() ![]()

There are people who just steal stuff because it appeals at the particular moment. It’s a manifestation of sociopathy.

I finally signed up for an etag. Main reason is theyre jerks, they say 3 days to pay, however the site would never say i had made any trips then 3 weeks later id cop a fine.
It used to not be an issue because ive had the same numberplates for ever and it was linked to my dads accou t. But my dads a bit to dead these days. I dont hit the toll roads often these days. I don't even drive that often, i filled up for the first time in maybe 9 weeks, that cost $108. And paying a $4.50 toll i cannot untill the letter saying its now $118. Thats just dumb. |
