I must be getting old, cause l do, dam.

And they’d pump out oil from a tap in the workshop into a metal can then pour it into the engine.

Ah do you remember the good old days when all servos had that rubber tube on the forecourt which rang a bell in the office when you drove over it ? Shortly thereafter the dude would drop his copy of the Australasian Post, come strolling out, ask 'yeah mate ?' and then proceed to pump 10 gallons of super into your tank. All the while whingeing about the weather (either too hot, too cold, too wet, too dry) without even taking the Rothmans out of his mouth...

Or in an episode of Matlock Police a lady asked for $2 of petrol and guy was busy talking and over filled.
She said I only asked for $2.
Gary Hogan was there, so he says to Gary, can you do anything?
Sorry mate.....

I’d fill the tank of my Suzuki 250 for 50c.

Not to mention the DIY 2-stroke... a couple of pumps of oil from the same tap and then top up the can yourself with super...

I hate when you park in a half empty carpark and just as you attempt to open the door, someone feels a need to park in the spot beside you.

 

[left at home]

Then they open there car door into yours and look at you as if your fault,
That when they cop it

Every single headline in sport has to be some stupid play on words that isn't funny

Agree, the 'Tired Gay succumbs to Dix in 200 metres' headers are puerile


But what about this gem...

'Super Caley go ballistic Celtic are atrocious'

The sound of that is quite precocious

all time fav headlines:

(1) "Nasser Insane" herald sun I think the day after England won toss and bowled in Brisbane. Australia end the day 2-350

(2) "Why I stuck a cracker up my clacker" NT news

Spoiler: spoiler

(3) "Starfish Enterprise; ufologist gets to the bottom of Alien probe" - NT news again.

Driving home from work yesterday I had a 5th of a tank of petrol, saw that petrol was about $1.20 a litre, said to myself ok i will fill up tomorrow. Went out just now to do some shopping and to fill up... $1.50!!!!!!!!!! how do the petrol companies get away with this shit. The ACCC has been saying for about 30 years that they will investigate the petrol companies , NOTHING HAS HAPPENED!!!!!!!!!!!!! What good is the ACCC, has it ever done anything useful? why does it even exist !

I'm definitely of the opinion that modern day football supporters are scared to admit that current players, marks, games etc can be the greatest of all time, because there's plenty football supporters are stuck reminiscing about the 80's, but I'm watching "Best of 2017: The Greatest - Buzzer Beaters" and they just had Jason Johanissen's goal in 2016 v Sydney at number 6 on their countdown list ahead of Jack Anthony in the 2009 semi final (number 14), Gary Buckenara putting Hawthorn through to the GF in the 1987 prelim because Stynes ran through the mark (number 13), Justin Longmuir's huge pack mark and goal in 2005 (number 11), but perhaps most surprisingly Ash McGrath, the miracle on grass, caps off a 52 point come back, after the siren in his 200th game (number 10).

All they could say about Johannisen's was that he recovered from a hamstring injury and that's why it was so memorable. He got his set shot off a cheap 15 metre kick, and whilst it was still clutch and the win itself was great, I fail to see how it could rate so highly, especially against some of the iconic and higher stakes finishes on that list.

Feel better?

I need to vent.

How the **** does anyone with the surname "Marsh" keep getting a shot in the Australian Cricket Team?

Both Mitch and Shaun have naked photos of the selectors I am sure of it.

How do you feel about that this morning?

I could go and score 200+ on this flat as a tack pitch.

The WACA pitch has been lifeless since 2015. It's a well known fact. That's why they bought in Mitch Marsh, to have the 4th seam option. Smith knew it'd be a road.

Not convinced at all. Helps Mitch a lot when England are bowling pies.




(Was a fair effort though. Not being negative. I Just want to see him back it up with consistency.)

I stumbled across your post and had a chuckle coz of the timing. I decided to be a hindsight warrior. I would have said the same thing a week ago haha.

This afternoon I have nothing to vent.

I have been in warm surf.

Life is good.
