I would have thought an ADL restaurant or two would have got a mention.

 

[Cruiser Elite]

I was not at all interested in the subject matter - I was just elated I beat Foreigner to posting this info!

Obviously going to the gym is dangerous.

I agree. Maybe I should stop going?

Last time I had a brand new car was in 1984.

Car park dings are the worst. People just wham open their doors. They couldn't care less.

It's not just doors. People are careless and most don't know how to drive, park a car etc. I can teach a monkey to hold a steering wheel and press the accelerator to 120 km/h. Doesn't mean the monkey can drive s car though.

I have owned 3 cars all my life. One of them I bought was 18 months old when I bought it and it lasted 20+ years. The current one is 15 years old with ~140,000 kms on the clock. No need to upgrade for the sake of upgrading.

Impressive. Most people I know have been closer to 18 years old when buying their first car.

I have never bought a new car. I get my cars from a chap who trades his Lexus at 40,000 kms/ 2 years old so I get them at half the new list price. I am happy with a nice new second hand car over the last decade.

I am awaiting for a current shape LS600hl to be half price too Cove ... for my parents. So don't upgrade your LS just yet ok.

Well I have always been told I am ahead of my time.

Alanslegal I am on my second Lexus 600hl. The thing it does not have is a camera to help me park inside the white lines of a parking spot. Mrscove has had that on her Lexus 450h for two of them.

 

[JohnK]

Ive been hit twice at my gym.

Someone's trying to give you a hint.

 

[Cossie]

So it's just a list of restaurants based on "Traveller's Choice" (tm) reviews from trip advisor, if so "yawn".

If it was a proper list of Australia's best restaurants, there would be at least one from Canberra as recently voted the best place in the world to live by the OECD.

Some of the people in this place are animals. Actually calling them animals is insulting to the animals.

I have been in hospital all day. Just returned to office and my chair is missing from my desk. There are things on my desk so someone definitely sits here. I found chair in meeting room nearby.

So you come to a meeting, take someone else's chair and return back to your desk without returning chair. What sort of low life scum behaves this way?

And the stupid excuse these people are busy and have problems in their lives holds no weight.

What? You don't know the rules talk at school these days?

Look after yourself, ignore others and never, never say sorry or admit fault.

OR known as the 3-S's - Self-absorbed, self-centred, selfish - to go along with their 3 best friends....

A bit like people who can happily carry a bottle (water/beer/soft drink whatever) while they drink it walking down the road from the shops but as soon as its empty it becomes an unbearable load that must be tossed into someone's garden or dropped on the footpath.

As the advert say, "I feel better now..."

And on the other side,

At a job years back, every time one guy went away it became open season on his chair/stationery etc as he'd made such a fuss when he came back once and his chair was no where to be seen. He even resorted to getting an engraver tool to 'mark' his things.
