I think his time in the limelight is up, sounds to me like all the money and fame has turned him into an arrogant, spoiled brat.

Bieber isn't as bad he was a few years ago, he's not what he was when he was 16 years old but better than when he was 20 years old. Maybe it has something to do with him joining Hillsong.

I know he has changed his voice as Years gone by. But has he smoked during his years????

Yesterday I has a hard earned day off after a heavy few weeks at work, decide to go and have lunch in the food court at the local major shopping centre, I sit at the table for a while reading the paper, grouchy nosy old bag says to me "You need to go back to work now, you are taking too long, in my day our lunch breaks were short", I tell her I have a day off and am entitled to a long lunch. Some people like to give others a hard time for no reason, came out of the blue.

I saw those last two clips the other day! That show from humble origins just grew in popularity and a totally unsuited American outfit had to come along and take it over, not understanding (and not wanting to) the little tics that made it work. Now be prepared for it's popularity to wane and the Californian based production company will, as expected, be baffled as to why it's failing. Morons.
You can bet Ed was being very diplomatic in his reasons for leaving. In private he would have been scathing.

Bloody cars... Had to get towed home this morning, for the second time in two weeks, not even in the same car as last time. It chose a fine time and place to break down as well, at about 1am, on a 110km/h section of the SE Freeway with no lighting.

That time of the year where everything is closed for up to a week is upon us. And that also means half the buses won't be running so they will most likely be hourly (or worse), start much later and finish several hours earlier, if they even run at all.

Easter. Celebrating 2000 years of kindly giving people the S&#Ts, religious or not! The chocolate will probably give me the liquid S&#Ts too... $3.12 each for 350g Dairy Milk blocks from Kmart or $10+ for the same weight in Easter eggs made in the exact same Cadbury factory (Ringwood) using the exact same chocolate, no contest.

MAN SL202 1636. Won't forget this poorly driven CNG when it's retired. Perhaps a photo of it might be worthwhile too, so that I can put it on the wall and shoot darts at it.

The Greenies & Dooooo gooders have gone batty!

Post by Newcastle Flyer »

WHAT?? (pretend the size is 800) The state & federal government have to get permission to move a huge population of bats? See: http://www.maitlandmercury.com.au/story ... l/?cs=1533.

How can they be considered an "endangered species" with so many?

(BTW, that's the flying variety) :)

People with the head buried in their mobile phone, especially while waiting at a bus stop and a bus is coming, or crossing a road, or while waiting in a queue at the supermarket and the checkout chick is calling them, one woman got refused service and the next person in line (me with no phone, left at home) was called up instead.

Stupid person trying to board the bus today via the back door, almost knocking over anyone trying to alight, and he was abusive to everyone.

I hate people that do a selfish act and then abuse the ones he or she has wronged. Yet they will jump up and down if someone does it to them. Just air sucking waste.

Also people pushing their A380 megastrollers and looking down at their mobile phones, how about looking where you are going.

People who do something stupid and then get upset when they are called out on it, or when people try and blame you for something even though it is their fault. People who don't use common sense, that really annoys me!

Quite a lot, actually...

- Bustechs (It's a personal hate of mine, especially when they're on the 905.)
- Just missing a Volgren CR228L Volvo B7RLE on the 905 and waiting only to be given an aforementioned Bustech.
- School peaks (come 3PM, the chaos starts: teens holding train doors, smacking bus windows, swinging on road signs nearly breaking them, obstructing the stairways, etc.)
- Folks who don't read the destination board then gives their stupid question to the driver (eg. on an 817 in Bonnyrigg headed for Cabramatta: "Excuse me, are you going to Fairfield?")
- People who try to hail the bus AFTER it leaves its stop. (Your fault; you are late. Wait for the next bus. If it's the last bus, you should know that beforehand and especially allow time to wait for it.)
- People who try to run and board the train after the guard has blown their whistle.
- Queue-jumpers on the roads (i.e. Punchbowl Road at South Terrace)
- Drivers who constantly park over the bus stop (i.e. Haldon St, Lakemba) (and to make it worse, when they turn their hazard lights on to cherry-top their efforts.)
- People glued to their phones. (Not quick check-ups or look-up-look-down sorta thing, but statue-stance face down to the phone.)
- Private car drivers who drive into the bus-only zone at the bus interchange (I'm always seeing this at Bankstown, Fairfield, Parramatta and Liverpool's bus stations)
- Drivers who block intersections.
- Hoards of school children just casually walking onto the road void of any consideration for road traffic. (I'm looking at YOU, Holy Spirit College in Lakemba!)

There's a whole heap more, but I'd just tire out trying to get it all done.

People who say contradictory things (like one day they were dead sure about something and the next day they change their mind) - and not that people can't change their minds, just don't be so self-assured smart alecs. And when people brag about the weather. We can't change it, what's the point of making so much fuss about it. Aargh

I wonder what so called (most likely a re-re-hashed & re-re-re-announced) "good news" the NSW government will leak to hide bad news?

• Okay you motorist & "motoristette", there is such a thing as "too slow". Unless their is a valid reason, you don't go 40ish in an 80 kmh & 100kmh zone.

Don't they realise that too slow, can be just as dangerous as too fast.

+ Okay to those old drivers & "middle age women" drivers, you do realise that section of road is 80kmh, not 40 kmh - or less.

+ And again, to drivers green arrow &/or light means GO if safe to do so.
+ Cover ya bloomin' mouths when ya cough - Know wonder people get other people's illnesses.
