Other fuc#ing drivers.

I contend that suburbs can have a large influence on driving style. If I'm within a few KM of home I can usually predict the moves of my on-road opponents. Further away it's almost impossible to predict what the other drivers are likely to do, like when they sharply change lanes on the freeway to steal a space shorter than their bloody car then slow down to 95.

What grinds me is around any of the Eastern suburbs Balwyn, Kew, Camberwell, etc you'll see people driving these big 4WD's who can't reverse park on a main Rd & after 3 attempts all the while holding up traffic, finally give up and try for an easier spot. Happens everyday.

It would appear that COVID is no longer the greatest danger to those of us venturing back into Melbourne's CBD. It's campaigners riding electric scooters on the footpath. I've had three near misses in the past couple of days.

Mate I’ve been knocked off my bike twice in a week by people on scooters riding up the wrong way on bike lanes. Once in front of a bunch of cops who did nothing. Mind you I have been pulled over while riding on a bike path to check my bell. To which I asked the cop are you pulling over pedestrians walking in the bike path wearing headphones and oblivious to my bell? Point is public safety is only a concern when they can raise revenue from it.
 
Just thought I’d share my attempts at trying to supports the businesses that sponsor our club. 1/ went to buy a Mazda. Asked about the year membership and the other merchandise. Was told no that doesn’t apply in qld. I asked why the hell not, the afl is a national comp and the club is happy to sell me a membership in qld, do you want to sell me a car or not because the NMFC is the only reason I am here……I didn’t buy a Mazda.

2/ Hello Solar….had some promotion for members can’t remember what but told the sales lady and her response was, “ oh north are terrible why would you want to be a member of that club”
…….erm your employer is a sponsor dumbass why do you even have a job! Needless to say I bought my solar elsewhere AND I had to block calls from hello solar as they kept pestering me.

36 , do I qualify? Was playing golf yesterday and the amount of divot marks left on the greens was ridiculous. You’d think if you can hit the green from 150 metres on a par 3 , you’d understand that you should repair ball marks

Never too old for a grump

Yes poor form

Typical of todays lack of manners
 
Does anyone know the command to stop Google Home devices from playing Foo Fighters?

The speaker can be playing decent music then suddenly every second song is by the Foo Fighters and although I can skip, it keeps repeating those songs.

It's driving me crazy.

Honestly, I tried.

I suspect that my son played something on his phone using our Google account and now I have to put up with this.

Mostly he listens to metal, some of which I can listen to, some I can tolerate and some is pure garbage. As opposed to the pure garbage I normally listen to.

I'm under constant music attack. My wife often switches the radio between Buddha FM and ABC country.
 
I'm just going to leave this here...
