Go out with friends for a night out and not be hassled by some Drunk single brain celled moron wanting to fight everything that moves.

Talk to someone at a help desk.

know that if you pulled something apart it would be simple tech to reassemble.

buy furniture that didn't come flat packed and it was delivered free.

Had a win on the weekend. Cleaned out a heap of old crap from the garage, put it in the back of the Wildtrak and headed to the tip. Tub was basically full, old mate has a look and waves me through. No cost, didn’t even want the council issued voucher. Could have knocked me over with a feather.

HUGE win alright whereas here in Sydney town you don't get that privelidge anymore....
Now they ask you what area your from at the weighbridge, IF your out of the council region they'd charge you even more.
Had the tub of hilux once not even half full once with light building rubbish, timbers etc costed $150 and think wtf.

Did they book it as “mixed waste - general”? I do well at Kimbriki due to careful sorting beforehand. Mostly green waste drops with the odd concrete/brick load.

Gday guys,
Showing my age now. I can remember paying the 20c toll on the Harbour Bridge.
I started working at a garage in Paddington in Sydney and the Garage was a Golden Fleece and Petrol was 20c a litre.

When i was driving age and would drive around with my mates my late mum would say to me "if your not coming home please let me know". So i would find a phone Booth that acually worked.

Haha that’s a good question but I can’t say without checking the damn etag account.
Say I need to get to the airport and you don’t cross the bridge but go under using harbour tunnel before I even get under the tunnel I’ve paid 3 damn tolls @ $7 a pop !

Before the etags and tunnel toll got to $2.
