The amount of websites that require you to create an account and, on top of that, impose ridiculous requirements for passwords to ensure it's a STRONG password and has to have special characters, capital letters, 4000 letters, and a number. The only website where I need a strong password is my mobile banking. Anywhere else, I don't care. Let me make my password dog if I want.

Only way I can stay on top of it is to have a word doc with all my passwords stored in it.
I hate this too. The capital letter requirement is stupid, you're never going to do anything except the first letter or else you'll forget it. Numbers? Well I use them when I'm forced to but don't like it. It's not that I can't remember long passwords, My DT password was extra long with numbers and letters because I got really paranoid about people having their team hacked and stolen but I think that was just a false alarm.

How old?

An unemployed friend on facebook on Friday posted "TGIF" ..... :rolleyes:
I have one of my mum's mates on Facebook (I accepted her when I first made it, now if she added me I wouldn't). She doesn't work, has no responsibility for anything (ex husband usually has the kids), doesn't clean the house or gardens or anything, but every weekend on Facebook...

"THANK GOD FOR THE WEEKEND YAY"

She's 45 and has the maturity of a 10 year old. If I removed her she'd be offended.

Can 17yo's get their P's in Adelaide?
Most states you can get your P's at 17 (with certain restrictions), Vic is the exception with drivers having to be 18, this of course is because Victoria is a <insert overused and misinterpreted phrase coined by a misinformed F1 driver>.

Make that every other state (or at least it was) and he's not wrong.

It's not just that particular law either. There are plenty of others that are far more restrictive (ab absurdum half the time) than the other states.

Saw a red p-plater driving a VW Golf R32 today, lol'd hard. Did some checking on the VicRoads website and a 2010 Lotus Evora (0-100 in 5 seconds) is also allowed. VicRoads and the majority of Victoria Road Laws deserve to be treated with nothing but contempt.

What shits me are the stupid spam boxes where you have to guess the random font of 'SYHGT5tH'.

The board where you dare to say anything at all and if your not a carlton fan you are banned outright?

Al kay dar would be proud of the carlton mods.
Name names...which Board? The Carlton or Main Board. I rarely venture onto Main Board street any more...too much hassle.

That pisses me off as well. What is the point of making an appointment when you get there on time or even 5 minutes before hand to only sit in a room full of sick people for the next 45 mins. And there have been times where i have been a whole 3 mins late and i missed out.

So annoying because as a male my time inside the GP's office is going to be less than 10 minutes.

Why do women of any age take hours? It's not like they're paying more and people are stacked up waiting outside.
