Yep. Infantile. But embraced by a section of the crowd. Funny how it happened less without the knob supporters.

Polymer bank notes. Now the $10's coming in. Can't fold and these things literally 'jump' out of your pocket. The blank space makes it look cheaper than it is.

Change the tanner into 10 x $1 coins. They'll stay in your pocket and look like pirates treasure ;D

Got too many of those jangling in my pocket Willo. ;D

I just keep giving these plastic 5s and now 10s back as 1st priority whenever I buy a coffee or something cheap. They're a disaster in self-serves.
 
Drivers who swing out to the left before turning right (or vice versa). You're not driving a *smile* truck!

Yeah I was thinking it looked more like $9.95 than $10.

Good point Rosy. ;D

I don't mind the small transparent circle but that big gap looks stupid.

That rubbish show led by that love-me-do goose called Dunstall. Time for Foxtel to bounce this show out. Childish rubbish.

Shocking show...only watched it waiting for the Richmond song after the win on Sunday. Avoid at all costs.
 
People who speed on the freeway and use their indicator
To change lanes. Why?? You're breaking the law so why bother with an indicator.

Would much rather people still indicated properly.

Number 1 on my vast list of driving pet-hates is when drivers don't speed up enough when merging onto the highway. When its 100kph and someone is trying to merge at 50, not only does it affect any cars already on the highway having to slow down to accommodate them, but it can create a bank up of cars all trying to merge at the same time, into the same lane. Then you've got a convoy of 6 cars all trying to merge into the left hand lane of a busy highway, causing everyone grief

All because of some twit who thinks they are being more responsible than everyone else by driving slower to make it "safer" when they are actually being overly cautious and unpredictable. At least thats what i'm thinking when it occurs to me.

Can't agree. The fast lane is the fast lane. The sign says 'Keep left unless overtaking'. That doesn't mean it's okay to sit in right lane at the legal limit if you are holding up cars travelling faster than you. So if traffic in the right lane is speeding, stay out of its way. It is possible to be driving faster than the legal speed limit and still be a safe driver.

I wasn't specifying the right lane . Just talking in general . But being in the right lane doesn't mean it's ok to speed. Going over the limit is illegal regardless of what lane you are in.

Okay, I'm not a fan of people exceeding the speed limit on general roads or in the left lane. But people will speed. I'd rather they still use their indicators as it is a sign that although they have chosen to speed they are still responsible drivers who care about being clear and safe and are aware of other drivers.

As long as cars aren't governed with devices that can remotely limit their speed it remains the driver's choice. I maintain that within reason on good freeways in good cars it is possible to be careful and safe and drive above the posted speed limit.
