Gambling on the pokies and walking out five hours later breaking even (don't tell Xenophon, with his personal war on pokies he'll halve the payout rate so he can have them banned even faster!!! While leaving the real losers - Lotto, Keno and Trackside - free to take everyone's money, of course)

I highly doubt that this would have changed anything, I believe there wouldn't be a difference, there are actually quite a few countries that have never used daylight savings, we've advanced so much in technology that Daylight saving might be abolished....

I don't get it but when your driving on a single lane road doing the full speed limit (let's say it's 80 KMPH), what do people have too exactly gain from overtaking you?

Sometimes it's dammed if your a few KM's below the speed limit, dammed if your right on the speed limit and dammed if your one or three KM's over (because who knows if there is some HP officer sitting up the road parked to the side with their speed gun out)

I'll never understand why my local Woolworths is so picky with the time they decide to put all the "boxed" hot food out at the Deli. All I want is some juicy buffloe wings and there's never any there (along with the other hot food), just roast chooks. Meanwhile I pretty much think I've got the morning schedule of another Woolworths down as to when they bring their hot food out, never had any trouble with that Woolworths.

The problem with the 2nd Woolworths is I'm only in town about once a week if I'm lucky and it's not a close one to home. Otherwise I probably wouldn't be here typing up this post heh.

It's like being on a bus that is literally doing the speed limit, with a car in front doing exactly the same speed. You feel like that if the car slows, then you have to slow down as well.

Driving with nothing directly in front of you gives one that sense of freedom. Would you prefer to be behind a truck in a 100 zone that is not causing you any delays, but is severely limiting your view ahead? I'd prefer to get ahead of them.

The 10kph handicap in some places with heavy vehicles can be an advantage to regular motorists.

Last week I was on the 75 again riding in a B2 tram which overtook a ute on Burwood Highway. Melbourne seriously needs more of this on their entire tram network in places where the tram isn't bumper to bumper with cars, the tracks are dead straight and the stops are appropriately spaced apart instead of being every 200m (or 1/8th of a mile in the old scale).

1. Being able to leave the house for once, without the destination being a supermarket or KFC. I might even go bunzelling on the Lilydale line for the sake of it.
2. Giving a myki machine the absolute worst-looking, scratched up, dirty 10c and 20c pieces I could find on the ground or road (stashed after months of lockdown), without the machine refusing a single one. Ironically, the same machine initially refused a "new" $5 note that was in good condition and wasn't even creased, go figure.
3. Passing off that unwanted old NZ/Fiji coin to Coles, especially when it was a supermarket which gave them to me in the first place.

This was a month ago but while filming a bus pulling into a bus stop. Some fool was in the background yelling at someone on their phone, I was quite puzzled by that, When I review it, It reminds me of the "old man yells at cloud"

Was on the train this morning on the way to work, as soon as I hop on the driver of the train pops into the front carriage of which I was on looking for something, I see that he glances over at the EDR (emergency door release) with a puzzled look but he can't find out what Is going on so gets back in the drivers cab and we proceed to the next station.

We arrive at the next station and the driver pops into the car again, what was going on was a kid belonging to your typical houseo looking parent was playing with the onboard help point constantly and it rightfully frustrated the driver (guard didn't make an announcement or appear once) so much that he said the words "I'm going to have to ask you to leave the train" to the mother of the kid, the mother said something in disgust back to the driver but I was at the front of the car, the mother was in the middle section of the carriage so didn't catch it.

When you find old bus seats in good condition on the Kerbside for rubbish collection and you want one but said seat is obviously too big to fit in the back of your car.

I wouldn't mind repurposing one or too. Good little side project to work on but don't have the right vehicle to transport it.
