Re: What gives you the S&#T's!?
The Victorian Government for investing 4.1 million to replace a scoreboard rather than funding cancer research in it's latest budget. They certainly know where their priorites lie, remember when Dodgy, Dopey Dan sponsored a netball team for 15m before the last state election? And also the Commonweal...

Re: What gives you the S&#T's!?
Been watching Highway Patrol on 7Plus after not seeing it for a while. The attitude of the people pulled up for mobile phone use, speeding and very unroadworthy vehicles absolutely stinks. One of the episodes features a bloke with a Ford Econovan bought new in 1986, it was a bit of a jalopy and gets...

Re: What gives you the S&#T's!?
Yes, the young adults are just as bad, the tradies in particular. They are seen regularly on my daily Maccas coffee run, and they are very rude to the Maccas staff. When they are told they can't get their Big Mac until 10:30 am, they go crazy. My local neighbourhood cafe reopened under new ownership...

Re: What gives you the S&#T's!?
Kids on school holidays who are incapable of behaving in a civilised manner in public, mostly teenagers, I saw a security guard marching a kid out for riding a bike inside a busy shopping centre.

Russel Howcroft on the 3AW Breakfast show and his stupid giggling and laughing. Ross Stevenson is not like he used to be either. Might be switching over the the ABC before too long.

Re: What gives you the S&#T's!?
When I was getting my morning coffee at McDonalds this morning, an entitled idiot threw a tantrum, because there was no skim milk, the poor girl told her politely that the delivery had not yet arrived, but the tantrum continued until she was thrown out.

Re: Rare and interesting car sightings
I have seen many Lamborghini's being driven aggressively by entitled, rich young men, or on the back of a tow truck.
About 4 years ago, I went for a ride in a Lamborghini (birthday gift), and you really had to be a bit of a contortionist getting in and out of it. It was a 2012 Gallardo from memory.

Re: What gives you the S&#T's!?
I ate some Dominos pizza at an end of year work break up and never again- tasteless and you could fold the slices in half at least three times. We requested a Pizza Hut pizza the following year.

Re: What gives you the S&#T's!?
Yes, trying to have a reasonable conversation with someone can be very difficult these days, more than not you are met with a very cold reaction.
Especially since COVID and especially in Victoria.

Re: What gives you the S&#T's!?
I looked at a new BYD Atto 3 recently at Doncaster Shoppingtown and the touchscreen does bloody everything, such as audio/climate/vehicle settings. Much like the Thoreb and Consat systems used in buses. The instrument cluster is small and it would take some getting used to. The manual is solely a PD...

Also it seems Ventura have gone to the OCC setup as I heard a message over the two way telling drivers to direct their messages to...
