Thanks ....any chance you can move my post from the political thread, over to this thread please

So now I’ve got two shitfights to keep track of?!!

Excellent, I was running out of places where I see Facebook boomer memes - this'll see me thru

So the hoop is on public land?

We, as in society, take ourselves far too seriously nowadays. Unfortunately, we try to impose todays values on what happened years ago.

Agree with the sentiment - but it's also no secret there is a well establsihed and increasing element of people with 'online personalities' promoting their World views, faux outrage and virtue signalling etc. as opposed to their genuine attitudes, beliefs and personalities in real life.

My real life example of this, not that one is required. Many years ago, two of my long time mates, one I'm still close to, who are both unopinionated intoverts in real life (Great blokes but rarely entertaining) suddenly started posting all sorts of nonsense on Facebook, including joining pile-on discussions about topics I knew they couldn't give a stuff about..?
When I questioned them about this odd behaviour, they both responded; 'Just having a bit of fun mate!'....

Definite life threatening lean on that bad boy.

This is why you don't get Mums to build s**t.

Seriously who puts the hoop near the road? What a dumbarse.

Would be interesting to know where the closest public park is to that house. It sounds from the article like there aren't many other options, so if there aren't then thats the fault of the council.

The simple fact that that Hoop has been constructed incorrectly,with the load bearing counter weight on the wrong side of the ring, whilst being positioned so close to public road/path is reason enough to have the thing taken down. I'm no wowser, but it's an accident waiting to happen.

OK ....this is off-topic ....I'm not a Royalist

But this is a must listen, incredibly sad .....and comes from another angle, not presented by the media

Dylan Mulvaney started identifying as a "girl" in March. He makes TikTok videos about "being a girl", in which he portrays himself as a ditzy, squealing girl. These videos were so wild that people thought it must be a parody.

He has been invited to speak at the Forbes Power Women's Summit.

I don't envy the royals really. I'd take the money and the land but the fame and scrutiny is a hard pass.

Its the main reason I think the monarchy will end by their own decision. No one will want this for their kids.

My partner is vegetarian. Should I be worried?

Peta calls for sex strike against meat-eating men 'to save the world'

Cries for a bedroom ban against carnivorous males have caused outrage in Germany, which is famous for its love of sausages

There's a sausage joke in there, but I'm not going to make it.

even vegans make fun of peta

may as well start just making fun of Green Left Weekly if we are going down this track

I just love the new world ......

Please see above .....I'm sure someone tucked in an office, thinking of a revolutionary idea ....thought this was a great idea

Whether it works or is effective is one thing, but as a professional driver on the roads up to 50 hrs a week I can say 100% people have no patience and routinely put themselves and others in danger to try to save 30secs

Complete overhaul of attitudes to the road is needed somehow

IMO the traffic in MELB is so poor, that impatience now see so much lane swapping ...........Western Ring Road has accidents every day, it's a straight rd FFS .....but due to lane hopping, every car now drive bumper to bumper, to avoid someone slipping in front of them

You leave a car's length gap, someone cuts in front, and then slams on the brake

Maybe if you're "returning to the road after a traumatic experience" to the point where you "require extra patience", you shouldn't be driving.
