Little Things You Hate

[beeb]

You've not lived until you've driven a Renault 10 across the Westgate Bridge in high winds... Rear engine so only 30ish % of the weight on the front wheels, slab sided styling and 800kg wet. Aquaplaning and wind induced lane changes were regularly quite exciting...

I puckered up once and got that thing to 75MPH indicated. On a long downhill....

+1 in this. Lane changes were regularly quite exciting, and occasionally completely unplanned:

I have plenty of better things to do instead of driving a shitbox. You know like pulling my own teeth.

I'm sitting on the balcony of a rooftop bar, enjoying a quiet apertif...when 4 men about 50 - 55 come out with 2 young women. These guys all have the typical loud cashed up bogan style and voice. The women sound like they are on holidays. Well ambience ruined as these dicks try and convince these girls to fuck them, all the bragging and lack of charm you're expecting. They are also offering them "work" on their boat.


Then 2 tech bros have decided to sit right next to me and talk cyber...I think it's time for dinner.


View is nice though.

Sydney and Ambience are two words that could be a good UFC match up.

Bilge on a prawn trawler has an ambience.

I think these guys were celebrating something. I was able to block them out with the loud voices of the other wankers. Those guys eventually got offended when the bar wouldn't do shots for them and the girls and one of the staff suggested they may prefer the atmosphere at the Argyle.

Done me out of a couple of hundred dollars profit.

But to be fair what she did was block foreign ownership of an Australian company which is good I suppose.

When did Crocs and socks become a fashion statement? They are everywhere. I don’t get it. Maybe I am just old. Off I go to yell at some clouds.

Duh, you get sunburnt through the little holes and croc melanoma. Fucking embarrassing.

Not quite that old.

So the socks are sun protection?

So the socks are sun protection?

Absolutely. Fireproof too, just not fuckwit proof. Obviously.

First fire for the year. Grass fire, started 3 or 4 k's from my place, and heading my way. Very light winds, 10 units on it. Has burnt one building, so far.

Still not calling it contained, but seems like they have it under control.........

I hate that I find this familiar. Fortunately or otherwise, I'm out the door Friday week. Time to let the environment sort it out...
