What cheeses me off

WCMO is entitled drivers who unhappy with the delays exiting the m4/m8 tunnel at airport exit, think its fine to drive down the m8 lane which is for people going straight ahead to Campbelltown and then try and cut in line. Wcmo more is those who let them in.

There is plenty of easy to follow signage get in the correct lanes, don't think your time is more important than mine. We all have planes to catch.

With all the cameras maybe the repeat offenders should be finned for blocking traffic flow.

Unfortunately we get taught that if someone wants to merge into your lane, it's courteous to let them in. So ********s take advantage of this too, and don't even say thank you.

In any case, some of them just turn in front of you to get into the lane. You hit them? Your fault (or at least you're going to be severely inconvenienced).

The phrase, "be the bigger man (person)", does tend to keep a lot of us good drivers alive when we are on the road. No one said it was easy.

Victorian Government: Dept of Transport and Planning.

Go to pay a fine (not mine!) online and you need to enter a twenty two (yes 22) digit reference number.

What could possibly go wrong? Absolute clowns.

Am I the only one who thinks there's a genuine possibility that the Victorian government have issued more than 10 quintillion fines and that this reference number is simply incrementing by one each time? If you think about it, that's only 1.25 trillion fines for every Victorian. At least half of them would've been breaches issued during COVID right?

Road rage is justified and warranted at times but rarely rewarding in practice.

This has always been a contentious issue. What a cow.

What a cow.

It certainly appears that way. Her denying the bank transfer took place would be easy for the banks to prove one way or the other.

Theres a whole lot of if's and buts in that story as it is.

Top half of story reads like one of the parents transferred the money into her account but later it was the son??? The lottery telling them to open private banking and again the dad involved all sounds like rubbish. The money gets deposited into an account (don't need a new one). She leaves her own house but the ticket left on the bench and he gives it to the agency for safe keeping
I am sure there are clear legal precedents about this in Uk along the lines of
Lottery entity pays $ to who owns the ticket
Then….
lawyers, family, their cousins and the cleaner fight it out for who gets what filthy lucre.
I think the money going into her account by whoever is irrelevant - was it a loan with expectation of repayment?
More likely a fight about divvy up of spoils but only together three months although I think I read fiancee somewhere but hardly longterm relationship for spousal maintenance.

Looks like Micheal ends up with no friend and no benefits

Them together buying the scratchies on CCTV is all the proof that is needed?

My take is
She bought them - she won - they are hers
If in a relationship 2 years may be case for split assets …..this relationship was clearly never going to last!

A tradie this morning had a real WCMO moment but it served him right. I was in the right lane, inside me a little corolla and another car behind me. About 30 metres in front a tradie with a large trailer. The lights in front turned orange and the tradie speeds up but the lights had gone red before he reached the intersection.
Trouble was the car behind me puts on his flashing lights and overtakes me by using the right turning lane. In the words of Queen Latifah He Had It Coming.

but according to the lottery, there can only be one owner/winner - the person whose name is on the card when it is surrendered (and this is hers).
Agree something not nice going one here.

If I buy a lotto ticket I buy it as an individual never as part of a syndicate, that way no worries about splitting winnings.

Also do not believe in joint bank accounts..

Kinda have to have a joint account for a joint mortgage.

You can buy your legally recognized share of a property leveraging Tenants in Common, so no need for a joint mortgage unless you choose to be Joint Tenants.

You can also have a Joint Mortgage without having any other joint accounts. My parents had a joint mortgage, but never shared a deposit account, savings account etc. Mum didnt ever want Dad dictating how she should spend her $ and I think that is fair. As long as you both paid you agreed portion of the mortgage on time and meet your share of other joint financial commitments the rest if yours.

I dont believe in being beholden to another person for financial support. In my relationship what is mine is mine, what is theirs is theirss and only things we acquired together are up for debate.

I think its disgusting when a couple breaks up and one party goes after assets the other had purchased in their own right before they were even together.

I totally understand the rules but there is proof they are in shop together, purchase scratchie/lottery/whatever together (who pays is irrelevant), they win and then break up after going through the motions of proving they purchased together.

First huge red flag. You don't leave ticket laying around the house if you have won £1 million. How did man have the ticket to take back to shop?

They were in relationship together and now her family want a cut of the winnings so get the man out of the way. Sheer greed. Hope they lose the lot....

I don't think it's the joint account that makes one person beholden to another, but more, the character of the relationship.

As far as financial support goes, many of us had kids before child care, proper family income support payments, maternity leave and so on existed. So in those days - no choice at all.

 

[andye]

We've had everything in a joint account since we first bought a house together, (followed by first child a month later) Wouldn't occur to us to do anything else.
