You have turned into a pathetic muppet. If you get a Christmas card it will be a mistake from my secretary. What a campaigner. :mad:
Don't blame me cos you organised something with Norfenflights during schoolies week.

Queues at Airports.

Flew last night and had to wait for check in, security, and boarding gate. Then had to wait to get on the tarmac then had to wait on the tarmac to get on the ******* plane.
The girl I had last week standing a few places back in the queue.....geez I wanted a bloody bomb threat so I could throw my body onto her to shield her incredidibly overly proportioned breasts (she was tall and thin but they were big and real baby) aaaand then I too got sick of waiting in that zig zag bit. But hell did she make a boring grey t shirt look fantastic.

people who put shit on clubs that have pokies, yet still shop at Woolies/BigW, oblivious to the fact that Woolies own more pokies that the top 5 Casinos in Vegas.

What about these knobs in tyre factories tightening the wheel nuts on a car with a ratchet gun. Here's an idea how about give women & the elderly a chance to lossen them by not tightening the living shit out of them. Yes I get the need to be tight but ffs don't over do so these poor sods have to call the RACV for a simple wheel change.

Lazy Flogs. How about you tighten them by hand.

Most Rattle guns have torque settings so it not usually a problem.

I got a flat tyre once( lucky it went flat in the driveway) as i was taking the nuts off there was just one that would not come undone, tried pipe extension and everything, after losing my shit, got a 3qtr rattle gun out and zipped the offending nut off. The flogs who changed my tyres last had out the nut on the piss and used a rattle gun, completely rooted my stud up and had to get a mate to run me out to pick up a replacement stud.

Always tighten wheel nuts by hand to make sure they are on correctly

By "by hand" I assume you mean using a wheel brace. The last time I had my vehicle serviced they had the front tyres off and I think they took the by hand thing literally. The next day I noticed two of the nuts were missing and a few others were loose, so I had to tighten them myself. I rang up and complained to the dealer and get them to replace the missing ones and they tried to spin me a BS story about somebody pinching them while the car was parked in my driveway. They eventually replaced them, but still wouldn't take responsibility for the obvious conclusion that they had ****** up and left me to drive home 150 km on front wheels with loose nuts. Long story short, all businesses are campaigners.

Do that too many times and you will fracture studs
Well, lucky for me that I make sure that my tyres are always in decent condition. I can't remember the last time I had to change one. I remember when I was a poor 17-18 year old that I used to drive around for quite some time on bald tyres driving all over the shop to go surfing. I had to change a few back then. Cars and tyres these days are really good (if you pay at least $100/tyre). Blowing one, or one going flat is not as common as it used to be.
