Ok so I think from the campaigner that served my daughter she falls in to the "undeserving poor"

I hope the campaigner loses his job with the next round of government cuts

No you don't. You keep the same number plates as the previous owner.

Even if it's sold without a roadworthy?

Not 100% sure.

Yeah figured as much. I started work for a sporting team and they use this terrible Stills camera and it's hard to take better pictures of the players in action that those guys. Really frustrating.

Can pick up a Nikon or Cannon with good lenses for $1000-$1500.

One of St Kilda's official photographers posts occasionally on BigFooty. It might be worth messaging him to see if he could recommend something on a budget. His username is dsav

Q: If Mars has an Earthquake, is it in essence a Marsquake?

It is indeed called just that.
---
ME --> No, because "earth" in earthquake means the ground itself. Small earth, not big Earth.
---
One of the best answers I've had to this question yet, kudos!
---
Wrong! There are also Moonquakes.
---
ME --> No, you're wrong. Earthquake is not spelled with a capital letter.
---
Wikipedia ... A quake is the result when the surface of a planet, moon or star begins to shake, usually as the consequence of a sudden release of energy transmitted as seismic waves, and potentially with great violence. Types of quakes include: Contents. [hide]. 1 Earthquake; 2 Moonquake; 3 Marsquake; 4 Venusquake; 5 Planetquake
---
ME --> Wikipedia is just trying to be cool, or scientists are, naming them that. But, strictly, by reason, logic, language...they're wrong to call it those things.
---
We'll go with GGpedia, instead.
---
So is sediment on the moon known as Moon? GG's point is rather the conundrum.
---
ME --> Exactly.

Q. What does the number 9 smell like?

---

ME --> I dunno, but it tastes like chicken.

Anyone here drive/driven a Holden Cruze SRI-V?

Found a 2012 model with only 20,000kms for a pretty good price. Have driven it before and loved it (admittedly only drove it around the neighbourhood for five minutes, not going past 60kms/ph) but upon reading many reviews online, some have been less than favourable.

Holden's are shit. Avoid.

Based on?

Have had a Holden since 2013, a 1995 model, and it's still going strong.

Oh, yes, 1990's and earlier, they're fine. But any of the 00-10 models are all shit.

My Brother worked at Eagers holden in Brisbane. Asked which car to avoid when I was buying, Astra and Cruze high on the list.

Could you possibly ask him his reasoning for saying so?

Could you possibly ask him his reasoning for saying so?

The automatic drive transmission is terrible.
Early Korean builds.
Overheating of engine very common.
Terrible on fuel consumption.
Constant glitches with the central computer.

This is especially true of the Astras and Cruzes.

 

[Big Sauce 21]

Could you possibly ask him his reasoning for saying so?

He said cruzes were by far the most popular car in for repairs, bearings and cv joints if I remember correctly
Astras very expensive parts.

Thanks guys. Back to the drawing board I guess which is a shame because I loved the Cruze interior.

Don't let me say bother you. Not every car would be buggered. That was out of only the holdens, they don't service every car company

Stick to Japanese cars.

Can't go past Toyota's

Is Honda still Japanese? I've heard they are not or something..

I like my Civic, I wish I could stay with Honda.

My grandfather has been driving a Volvo for the past almost 30 years. So when he went car shopping early this year, he refused to buy another Volvo because his son in law (not my dad) said the company is now owned by a Chinese company. He bought a BMW, the same car brand this son in law bought a few months prior.

Is it okay to smack another parent's child if the child is misbehaving and the parents won't do anything to stop it?
