Mega Thread Things that s**t me the Thirteenth

People who buy near an airport then complain about the plane noise

Today Tonight had a story about a Mandurah woman complaining about a tree on her ''verge'' driveway

Yeah love it wasnt there when you bought it was it?

Edit: Maybe I should stop watching TT

A far better alternative.

 

[Craven Morehead]

And then you could focus on tin foil hat conspiracies and post about them endlessly on a board where absolutely no-one is listening?
Nah, I'll pass on the TV and that bullshit thanks.

Sounds like someone's not getting any love....Both the clue & the answer lie in the user-name.

friendlyjordies is good stuff

I started watching his stuff on the weekend after initially being a cynic. I like him a lot.

Why would you not Uber eats?

Had to fly Sydney - Canberra on a small plane yesterday, I try to avoid planes with propellers, i reckon they aren't a good idea.

Five clutches? WHAT?

Off the top of my head it was something to do with the CVT(?) automatic transmission. Should have clarified it was an auto so people didn't think my friend was just a rubbish driver.

Yeah, there's no clutch, as in manual pressure plate mechanism etc in an auto or CVT.
CVT's are just so much s**t.
I'm actually taking a mate of mine into town today because the CVT in his VW Amarok has let go completely for the 2nd time in 6 months.
Look good on paper, smooth to drive but just pieces of crap.

There is a problem with all the focus and fiesta dual clutch autos from a few years ago. Some people sued Ford and many got a new car out of it.

Toyota's are bit lame and boring but they seem very resilient mechanically.

And expensive, especially for genuine parts.
The prices for those are outrageous.

I hear the 737 Max 8s have plenty of free seats available.

Is that a Flight Centre Guarantee?

Automatics do contain a clutch, by the way. Not a manually operated clutch but a clutch system within the torque converter.

Look, I'll let it slide this time but next time? Oh boy.

737 Max 8s - lowest altitudes, guaranteed!

I don't really find that funny to be honest. My cousin died in the Lion air crash, I know it's just a joke but do people have no empathy any more.

Hai Captain, is FLT a buy, hold or sell atm?

I don’t believe he targeted your cousin with the joke though, it was a dodgy aeroplane he aimed it at.

 

[Perth gal]

Sorry about your cousin. X

Reading info on the net and instead of it being on the one page you have to click on next page, and its slow. ...

I caught like a 12 seater charter plane to Kangaroo Island for the races. Was a little uneasy but it wasn't too bad outside of a bit of wind landing at Kingscote. 3 days later the Essendon airport crash happened. Would have been absolutely packing it if it happened just before my flight instead of just after.
