To the people driving around at 12:30 at night in a rust-bucket of a car, leaving it idling out the front and sifting through the neighbours' hard rubbish with a torch, I hope your stomachs become bloated and your heads plucked of all but 3 hairs.
You really need to move to somewhere new mate :p

Nah, shifty looking blokes digging through trash is kind of an everywhere thing, when the people over the road throw out an entire lounge room with every collection you sort of come to expect it.

But probably, yeah. At least the egging has died down, for now. The mongs set up some elaborate scheme to get themselves off the hook that was pretty easy to see through, so their time will come. All depends how we want to handle it.

Ferntree Gully is the epitome of class, I don't know what you're talking about.
Ferntree Gully isn't that bad. Really. It's not that bad. I went out with a girl from there once, nicest girl I've ever met. There was the occasional stabbing, the time we got mugged, the time that they kidnapped her and held her for ransom. Apart from that though, it's not that bad!

Most people that do that have the consideration to actually do it quietly though :p

It's really the egging that's the problem though, but if it's stopped for now that's a win. I guess there are so many times you can actually call the police about it before you take matters into your own hands. Just go Home Alone style, rather than Die Hard style :p

Exactly!
Aside from the stabbings, the knifepoint muggings (mostly they just steal your clothes, they let you keep your wallet :drunk:), the gun violence, the bushfires and the rate of car accidents, it's a peaceful little outer suburb.

Don't have a problem with it during the day, but it's like they don't want to be seen, so they come down the street with the lights off at 12:30 at night :p

The police won't really do anything - the only time they'll get involved is when I wait outside, crack one of the little campaigners over the head with my cricket bat and then I'm up for assault charges. A few of them have given us the lecture, 'We can't do anything, don't do anything yourself, haven't you heard of knife crime', but others have more or less suggested taking the law into your own hands without being violent.

Of course the police won't do anything, because it's not their problem. But when I "break into" a school at 2am because it was cold, I get charged for breaking and entering, even though the door was open when I got there and I didn't touch anything :rolleyes: Honestly the only times I've actually seen the police do anything is when they don't need to be there doing anything!

So is doing an immortalmike ALSO one upping people :p

But yeah I can't beat Sunshine. I'm in poor little Vermont South, I mean there was that time someone got shot at the end of my street but apart from that we're pretty chill.

Example or did you actually do that? :p

Yeah, they're far too occupied with pissy laws and minor offences to be of any use. Doesn't help that on half the nights we're getting hit they're waiting around Knox City to break up fights and bust drink drivers.

I did say I was out of control:D.

We did have a sort of murder/suicide (gun related) a couple of months ago, but normally it's pretty quiet where I live in West Footscray.
Did go to school in Sunshine/Braybrook though...that was...a...worse experience.

Let's say example :D

The law enforcement system is ridiculous. One time I was doing 75 along a 70 road, got pulled up for it, fair enough. But then someone went past who was going at least 90, nothing happens. Another time I was on my phone at some traffic lights, got pulled up AGAIN which is fair enough, but I point out 2 other cars where people are doing exactly the same thing. And then when my car gets egged 4 times in a one week, it's just kids having fun so there is no problem :rolleyes:

They should really employ some that assigned especially to problem areas like Knox, and then others to take other calls that night.

I was in Wheelers Hill. Not that bad.

I feel like such a pansy compared to you hardcore men ;) :p

Hahaha, I love it.

I'm a good boy on the roads, never inadvertently speed and don't touch the phone, so the cops leave me alone. I'm a little disappointed that the ******* across the road can leave his car with clear red P Plates on out the front of our house during the whole egging saga and it didn't get nailed once. I've driven in front of him before, he drives like an absolute jackass too. He loved his 20km/h trip (which cost him an extra 10 minutes) out of the estate after he beeped me when I was going 50.

The trick is to look tough. That's why I shave my head and grew a beard. Worked for ages. Looked like I could kick some arse...
Now because of changing trends I look like a hipster...Bastards ruined my gimmick.

You were hipster because hipsters were a thing. Ultimate hipster :p

Apparently I look like a big teddy bear, but I look like I don't like anyone, but not threatening at all. :(

Yes I love doing that! Best when your road is narrow so they can't get past, so you've got it easy :D I'm usually good, I never TRY to speed, and I'll only touch my phone when I'm stopped at traffic lights (still not that good) but eh. But of course when you're following your mate you have to tailgate him, you know assuming no one else is around :p

Seriously! What is it with these guys? I went down to Smith St with a couple of mates the other day, tattoos, beards and baldness everywhere. I felt like a clone. (Don't even get me started on Melbourne Uni!)
When/where I grew up that's what tough guys looked like...What happened? And what do tough guys look like now?

Ultimate hipster. Now I'm frightened.

A teddy bear who doesn't like anyone...you don't happen to live with Mark Wahlberg by any chance?

Bitch I'm straightedge, and I'm cuddly as ****.

I actually know for a fact I am just a really comfortable person to sit/lie/put your head on (and get your mind out of the gutter) :D The fact that I know that at least 10 guys have said this to me and only 1 girl has makes me sad though.
