Very unfortunate. Hope people are OK.

By all accounts the spectator has died, although nothing official has been released as yet, but this is a report on a Belgian site and I've used goo.. translate for it so it may not work. When I click on the link, I then have to click on the blue 'translating' thingy.

Try towing a trailer and parking in cities frequently before you criticize.

You are often left with no choice that is immediately apparent to you.

Likewise the 4 second gap in front of me is there for stopping distance, not for you to quickly merge into (failing to indicate for 3 seconds prior to) and be offended when I sit on my horn at you for doing so and evasively brake to gain the gap back while I tow a trailer with load.

Some people make their own rules.

Regardless of the difficulties, parking across a disabled spot is illegal, and offensive to those that need the spaces.

I wonder if there was ample, multiple bay parking in the furthest spot from the entrance - which would leave the disabled parking spot free.

I have sympathy for truck drivers and idiots that cut in front of them but a person with a true disability, a parent with a disabled child doesnt have to put up with tradies parking over 4 bays to get to liquorland or lunch. Its not like there is a Bunnings nearby that they urgently need.

I think the poster should have contacted MG Fencing on social media and ask them if they approve of their staff using company vehicles in this manner - but Im a person that does have elderly and disabled family members so I know there are some that struggle to walk a dozen steps without wheelchair/frame assistance.

I'm surprised that I have played at 21 of those courses

8 for me... + I'm a member of one of them.

Actually, if you check out their Facebook page, someone else busted them as well

As its a mobile phone number business, Im guessing not much will be done to the driver (owner?).

Wow that's terrible.

In the off season they've been talking up a "return to the Group B era" - lets hope that's not exactly what they mean....

Yes, there has been a lot of discussion about this on some of the other forums I visit, I haven't forgotten your comments in the other thread, it may take a few days!

Damn DFO at Southbank. On the other hand, lucky I brought an almost empty case. Some tops and casual shoes bought for April QM2 cruise. Wardrobe moved from black/grey/white coordination to chambray blue and white.

Yeah. My husband discovered the DFO near the Hilton Southwharf one Boxing Day. The crowds were stupid and WHY do people bring their babies in prams to that sort of fiasco?

Where would you have them leave them?:shock:

 

[love_the_life]

If it's correct Cossie and I have no reason to doubt it, that is very sad indeed, for all concerned.

We went there just after they opened. 7 years ago? Took my mum for a shopping trip for the day. Disappointing back then but my things have changed.

When are you in MEL l_t_l - can't find the dates on my phone.

 

[Cruiser Elite]

WHY do people bring their babies in prams to that sort of fiasco?

So lets add that to the list of places babies need to be banned from:
1. F Class Cabin
2. Shopping Centres

Might be just easier to do away with babies full stop?

Actually now that I am a father I have started to realise that I cannot take the baby and pram everywhere. It gets too difficult especially when she starts to scream.

So the answer would be leave baby and pram at home if possible.

In fairness it's the prams Denali was referring to, not the bubs. I think.

Who heard that exchange between Serena and Lucie last night:

Serena: Lucie does my bum look big in this?
Lucie: Put it this way - we don't need hawkeye!
