More Stereotyping

[Ace]

I was watching a re-run of Better Homes and Gardens last night on the lifestyle channel and they were all on location at a bunnings store in WA somewhere. As part of the show the shows landscaper was put up against a gold medal winning landscaper. Their task was to build a garden on the large lawn area outside the bunnings store.

The BHG designer was talking about the design he was going to adopt saying he was going to choose tough hardy plants like the ones found in Maccas carparks and roundabouts saying that if something could survive in a roundabout with P-Platers and 4wders driving over them all the time then they could survive anywhere.

What the hell do they think we do drive straight over them to save time? I mean HTF is that a fair thing to say. Matt

Must admit I use the bus and truck extra bits on the realy small round-a-bouts to straiten them out. I also notice that I cut corners less than most cars.

I have been known to drive over the little bit in carparks so I can drive strait out when I leave.
My wife this morning saw a woman pull out into the round-a-bout leading into yass without looking. She then stopped decided she didn't want to go that way and reversed back while turning around. A semi got the ****s with this and just drove through almost hitting the woman while clearing a new road. This woman then drove back the wrong way into the servo where she had come from. My wife just sat there not wanting to get near either of them.

Gotta fess up, I was waiting in a tight shopping centre carpark for the usual bimbos toing and froing when patience an out and I went across a grass verge straight out onto the road..but no garden beds though.

I dont blame her, some people just have no idea. Matt

[RobHay]

I 'fess up! I have been through a round-about.

It was in Lae PNG, just come from the Golf Club, had about 2 cartons of SP Lager inside me( well the medico, did tell us to drink lots and lots of fluids) and to this day I don't know where that round-about came from, it just suddenly appeared, should not have been there, wasn't the day before. But I was trying to locate my abode by driving in completely the wrong direction, took out two sets of signs telling people not to drive over the round-about, buckled the two front wheels, left most of the exhaust on the site to prove I had really been there......and really made an impression on a group of local natives.

Next day when trying to explain the damage to the lady wife, made a mental note not to try that particular trick again......not worth the angst. Oh and had to do some explaining to my Boss who happened to be the Commissioner of :nazilock:

Hyped up Paranoia again. They should be foccussing on the unroadworthy, environment destroying pieces of crap that are floating around full of rust.
Scruby was on Today Tonight again bagging 4x4s while only telling his select part of the story again. Citing 4x4s doing naughty road moves. Ifthey were fair you could come up with the same video footage for little buzz boxes, V8s, Trucks, Buses, Vans, Motorcycles or whatever. At the end of the day if all they can think of to say is that 4x4 owners are arrogant and hard to see past then they have lost the battle. All I say is try driving on our country roads, even those just out of the city and see if you do not want a 4wd to travel these at 4.30 am.

[Ace]

Would have to agree craig, if all they have is that 4wd's are hard to see around then they dont really have much cause trucks are hard to see around aswell. As for 4wders being arrogant they obviously dont spend any time on extrememly social forums like this one. Matt

I don't know about 4wd'ers, but here in Brisbane our elected servants and their bureaucrats are big on things called traffic calming schemes. They listen to wingeing NIMBY's who don't like traffic in their streets and put in chicanes,speed bumps, kerb build-outs, impossibly large roundabouts in narrow streets (sometimes in a straight bit, not at an intersection), and other diabolical devices, sometimes even fencing off to through traffic. The drivers of heavy vehicles, eight wheelers, semi-trailer rigs and full size buses often just go straight over the top of these pestiferous structures. I thought roads were constructed from the public purse for the free use of all, but these wingeing assholes seem to be able to have use of these streets restricted.

What about the boom boom brigade who like to drift around roundabouts?

[markyc]

Here's a word-for-word quote from that esteemed font of knowledge, 'The Star' (Werribee, Hoppers Crossing):
'And Cobbledicks Reserve at Mount Cottrell has been vandalised by four-wheel-driving dickheads who have ripped out bollards to perform burnouts... Er, am I missing something?

*Disclaimer*
The above is ficticious on account that my disco would not pull the hat off your head let alone lay fully sic rubber

[Jamo]

Do you mean I'm supposed to go around the roundabout?:confused:

I though they were just circular speed humps.

[DiscoDave]

Hey Ralph1Malph, I managed to make my tyres squeal leaving a roundabout in my Disco1.... once (must have been freak road conditions). :lol2:

[Ace]

Maybe that picture of Discowhite smoking his disco up was at said reserve. :eek: :D
