Why is it my three year old phone has become slow and unresponsive? I don't have many apps installed so it is not due to lack of system resources. What the hell is going on the background?

Random pauses in commentary. I am becoming annoyed by speakers inexplicable pauses in their radio and video presentations. It appears to be unrelated to sentence punctuation for example, pausing before commencing a new sentence or responding to the use of commers, colons or parenthesis. While it may be acceptable for some random presentation on YouTube it now appears to be creeping into traditional scheduled programs on radio and television. ( Incidentally I do recall the old joke about the bear fronting up to the bar)

Why is it that cretins like this are even given the option to plead not guilty.... Mental deficiency or no? Hopefully common sense prevails and he gets both barrels!! Cheers, Tony. |

Because this is the way of the World....
Similar to the way I gave my old rig a thorough claying, waxing and all the trimmings and the very next day it rained... Not a lot, so as to cleanse the paint... Oh no, just enough to cake it with dust as it sat in the work carpark... Maybe we're just lucky? |

Why is it Americans say "get off off me"? So the first off is telling us what they want and the second off is specifically where? What part of "get off me" isn't clear?

Another one which annoys me is when they ask "where are you at?". They have butchered the King's English!

Why is it when you pop into a shop these days, during the day, you always get asked "not working today?" "got the day off"?
What are you supposed to say? "nah just skiving" The King must be chuffed that his subjects have not yet butchered it themselves, innit so?

Why is it, that people seem to think they have something uniquely different just because they have a slightly different trim of vehicle?
I mean, FFS, yes, you have an XR6, that just means there are slight differences in trim, etc, you dont magically have a whole different car with different panelwork, etc to a standard Falcon. Or, yeah, you've got an RTV, guess what buddy, you've got a standard Falcon ute with a factory lift kit, why the **** is something as unimportant as a headlight bulb going to change? Ford werent dumb enough to make a totally different flavour of things for every different trim spec, they started with ONE bodyshell and bolted whatever was needed to it. Got a BA Force 6? beaut, you've got a turbo'd Fairmont Ghia, got an XT? guess what, you didnt get all the cool shizzle that the Force 6 got, you'll have empty holes, blank panels and more boringg trim & dress up parts, but BOTH cars are based on EXACTLY the same bodyshell! Got an EF Fairmont Ghia? BFD, nobody cares that it had the Tickford motor, it doesnt make your dipstick any different!

The one that I always shake my head at is the whole Tickford thing. You know the sort, they will have a basic Fairmont with a sunroof, which means it will have a Tickford option plate fitted to the engine bay. Suddenly, that means it a Tickford not a Ford. No, it's a Fairmont sedan that was sent across the road for a contract manufacturer to install the sunroof on Ford's behalf. Does that also mean you have a Tickford because you have a "factory" dual fuel system fitted to your Forte? Or the ones who crow on about their 395,000 km Fairmont Ghia having the "special" Tickford engine. No, they all came with that engine, yours is no different. Ford and Tickford only put that engine in the Fairmont/Fairlane to get enough volume to pay off the development cost of the VCT cylinder head. I could go on, but I've probably offended enough already.

Why is it 81 million Americans voted in November 2020 to evict the evil orange man from the White House but at the 2024 election the Democrats accumulated 10 million less votes to keep "H!tler" from returning to the White House? Did the masses not believe what they were being force fed? Or was the 2020 election...............

You're not suggesting that the public are being manipulated by GovCo, etc, are you?
Brave man!

That sounds like misinformation. Off to the death camp for you.
Damn we joke about this but it seems like that slippery slope is fast approaching. Five years ago not too many people would have believed the Australian government would try and put an end to free speech but here we are. Staring down the barrel of this rubbish. Of course the government is exempt. They can spread whatever lies and propaganda they want without fear of repercussions. Are we really that different to North Korea, Russia or Iran? The gap seems to be closing. Extraordinary times. |
