I'm talking about the people who have no option than to use the traiker for dump runs because they cant put the rubbish n the back of their ute....

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?

Phones are like PC's, you need to clean & delete junk files and cache.

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?

It's a bit like when I wash my car... an hour later it rains... only just enough to warrant re-washing it to remove the water spots... Grrr

I feel your pain there brother..
