Speaking of shyte traffic intersections, that Nicholson Rd/Garden St roundabout is a shocker, especially if you are trying to turn right to stay on Nicholson from Nicholson. Have to cut lanes at the last minute otherwise you end up doing 360s on the roundabout or back the other way you came.


And an insane queue for petrol at the Nicholson/Amherst Caltex. Every pump with queues of at least two cars waiting and a large queue at the turn in lane. Not worth saving an extra 3 cents a litre for that IMO.

Yeah, I cbfed waiting in line either, not even for 10c. That's about $4 off my tank price and not worth half an hour of my time.

And yet it is still better than it used to be.

Lined up for 45 mins to pump there before but it was 20c per litre

The one on Wanneroo Rd / Hepburn Ave is like that almost every Wednesday.

The Woolies servo on the corner of Berrigan and North Lake Rd is always cheaper than most and regularly has big lines. I go down the road to the United servo, pay probably the same price for premium, and save myself half an hour of waiting.

oops- meant to mention that my hubby was reading something in the paper last week about Monday and Tuesday being cheaper nowadays, than Wed.

The Coles one on the corner of Fitzgerald/Alexander Drive and Walcott Street is usually hectic when I go past it on the way to Uni. Around peak times the lines are always out on the road.

8:30 exams when you live in mandurah are just rude!

8:30 at night?

I remember getting up at 4:30am to catch a bus, train, train, bus to Curtin for a 6am lecture. Twiddle my thumbs until a 5pm tutorial in that afternoon.

Now I get up at 5am every day it doesn't seem so early but those mornings sucked so hard at the time. I'm sure I gave a lot of people the grumpy cat face for a while.

That's a bit rough.
Good luck!

A mate of mine use to work in the pro shop at Joondalup and he would get the lads on free most sat or sunday arvos. Mainly due to late cancellations and the best part was we got on for free.

Made it hard heading back to Hamersley or as I like to call it Royal Hamersley and paying $30 to play on that dump.

Hammersly is alright!

Try getting up for a 5am start for work from a similar distance away.

Does not compute!!!
My poor brain just fried, thinking about that one.

Yeah it's ok for a public course, always a nervous tee shot on the first with any hook shot likely to end up on marmion avenue.

I spent about about 12 months living across the road from Maida Vale golf course as a kid. Think I left with about 5 full buckets of golf balls at the end of the year.

'Gunman' (it turned out to be a fake pistol) took 5 hostages in a house, police came and shot him, he's in hospital now, hostages unharmed.

Not really sure what his motivation or goals were TBH just sounds like he was a nut

Wow, I really don't watch the news much so hadn't heard about it.

 

[DREAM TEAM BUFF]

TRG shot him 3 times

 

[Illinois Nazi]

Why did they shoot him if it was only a fake pistol?

 

[Off The Couch]

Why did they shoot him if it was only a fake pistol?

And how would they have known that

He had people tied to chairs at the arms and wrists and gaffer tape across there mouths and he has been asked numerous times to put down the weapon and didn't - I don't think asking "is that a real gun" was high on the agenda

 

[DREAM TEAM BUFF]

no view of sight

 

[BALKAN]

I should have made it clear they only found out it was a replica pistol after the fact.

 

[Illinois Nazi]

Should have shot the gun out of his hand.

Sorry everyone, I got confused and thought I was posting in the PerthNow comments.

Lacks references about lack of hospitals.
