Continuing Rant Thread - Get it Off Ya Chest here

[shaunous]

I know a bloke who tried. As soon as the razor blade hit the skin the tom went psycho. His forearms and hands looked like a roadmap of an inner city. 80+ stitches, 2 days in hospital and a visit every day for the next week for intravenous antiobiotics. Fcuked his shit up good and the old fella kept his clangers. Very funny it was.

He tried to do it by himself?
Crazy man.

Approaching an intersection today on the highway traveling at 110 kmh and when I am no more than 80 metres from the intersection 2 cars towing caravans pull out in front me into my direction of travel,****'n idiots are damn lucky I wasn't driving a semi or I would have driven over top of them,morons!

 

[Ducatiboy stu]

Got to love them caravans...right up there with ....well....caravans......

 

[philmud]

My 18 yo brother is holding court on Facebook with his Uni friends explaining how much more humane Israel is (than Hamas) and recommending the IDF Facebook page as a good source of information. Trying very hard to bite my tongue.

 

[Ducatiboy stu]

Israel has about as much compassion for the Palestinians world as a scorned ex and her mother...

I despise Israel and there treatment of Palestinians. If Israel stopped being such an arrogant cnut then there might be a chance of peace

Better get a flame suit......nah...You guys should know me by now. :lol:

 

[philmud]

I stayed quiet. Gotta remember how it feral to be eighteen and "right". Just hope he grows out of it. He actually said Israel employ tactics designed to minimise civilian casualties. **** me, they must be pretty shit at it.

 

[Ducatiboy stu]

Well I suppose you have to put some sort of spin on it, afterall Israel is being persecuted by the Palestinians....

 

[Camo6]

Yeah. Them Jews. Always complaining about persecution...
Maybe I'm a bit Old Testament but if I'd shared their history over the last coupla thousand years I'd have a hard time letting go too. But I suppose that's one of the universal flaws in human nature innit?

Just on country vs city. My in laws are from suburbia originally but moved up to tamworth a few years ago. Instantly we started hearing the "how good is it out in the country" crap. They just visited recently and were amazed at how much traffic there is, in Wollongong haha. Cue the endless garbage about how good it is etc blah blah blah.

They don't mention that the other day they had 2 motorbikes stolen, a dog hit by a car and their car broken into.This is not an isolated incident. Funny how that part of country life nevertheless gets mentioned when they're on their "the country is so much better" rant.

They don't even live on a property, just a suburban block, in a small town outside of tamworth. Doesn't stop the stories though.

Personally I could care less and think people are people no matter where they live.

Are you kidding? Have you seen the numbers of aerials, and sizes of them on some of the V8 utes in the country? I saw one ute that had no fewer than 5 9dB antennas and thought "now there's a bloke who has a lot of UHFs." In the country, people's worth is measured on the number of UHFs they have because it means they're important and lots of people want to talk to them (namely other Bundy swillers wanting to discuss how impressive their aerials are).

It's important to have CAT mudflaps 4 or 5 abreast across the towbar. It compliments the RM Williams sticker across the rear window and with careful placement of the exhaust, will blacken up on one or either side and blow back when doing doughies in a paddock or doing a key-banger down a busy main street. This is for those who don't have enough prestige to install truck-style exhausts up the C and D pillars, completely with stainless steel covers.

While we're on stickers, I don't know about you but I'm impressed with how many country pubs and B&S balls people have been to. You can show this off by covering the back of the vehicle with them (if there's no more room on the rear window the rear tailgate will do). A custom sticker like "NO REPLACEMENT FOR DISPLACEMENT" is unique and admirable, esepcially if installed on your 3.8 which you're "going to replace with a 350 Chev one day".

If you can't see the mudflaps and Bundy stickers because you're facing the front of the vehicle a large ram skull mounted to the 1t bullbar shows you the driver means business. A custom number plate like RUMPIG compliments the state plate perfectly. A row of amber LEDS (no few than 10) is quite often installed across the bullbar and it is all show, all class. Skilled placement of LEDs across some home-made stainless side skirts is simply a sight to behold.

If you haven't heard a hot-dog exhaust wrapping out in first gear down a kid-laden main street, and turned around to see a sticker-riddled vehicle that could be best described as a Bundy, RM Willams, CAT and GME-advetisement all rolled into one, you city boys don't know what you're missing.

ED: About 4000W of spotlight power mounted to the rollbar is a must. A Lightforce spotlight mounted through the roof is also desirable for street cred with the shooters (cheers spog)

 

[spog]

The kind of vehicle you described is incomplete without 2 spotlights that are so powerful they melt bitumen at 50 metres and mudflaps bolted to the bottom of the 1t bull bar ( the purpose of which escapes me ).

Well, considering they're trading salvos in one of the most densely populated citys on the planet, I reckon they go alright.

Perhaps if Hamas directed more efforts into protecting Palestinians by building bomb shelters (as the Israelis do) instead of excavating tunnels from which the launch terror attacks and kidnappings, and perhaps if Hamas stopped using civilians as human shields, and perhaps if they stopped launching rockets from the rooftops of domestic dwellings, and perhaps if they stopped using Palestinian backyards as munition stores, and perhaps if the Palestinian people had the foresight to study the charter of Hamas before electing them to power, http://avalon.law.yale.edu/20th_century/hamas.asp , that calls for the blood of its neighbors, they wouldn't be in such a pickle.

As I've said elsewhere, the Jews are no cleanskins, but their main issue is a PR one. Does anybody honestly believe one of the brightest and most technologically advanced civilizations on the planet wants to be fighting a war?
Does anybody honestly believe that?

Maybe your brother has an opinion worth hearing out.

 

[Dave70]

In similar news, I just finished the second course of antibiotics that have hopefully repelled the Hamas like assault on my upper respiratory system. Thought I had it licked the first time but it returned with a vengeance last week.
Holy ****. I coughed so hard last Saturday it burst capillaries on my cheeks, turned my eyes bloodshot, caused me to gaga and yack up horrible yellow stuff and left me panting like a whipped dog.
The muscles in my lower torso are still aching from all the spasms of reeling coughing fits.

I could really see how this kind of infection could bring an elderly person unstuck. Nasty shit out there this season. Flu shot for sure next year.

If I want to know more about my brother's opinion I'll just read the IDF Facebook page. He's just regurgitating that.

I'm not going to get into the Israel/Palestine thing here, except to say that the IDF have killed very significant numbers of civilians. So yes, they've done a piss-poor job of avoiding that. Are the circumstances difficult? You bet. Would Palestine be subject to international military intervention if the tables were reversed and they were killing that many Israeli civilians? You fuckin' bet.

Yeah, I understand that. The point of my post was not having a dig at living in the country, more that we constantly hear how good it is from the inlaws. When really, they have the same problems we do here in suburbia.

I Dont think I've ever had a chest infection until about 6 weeks ago. Completely fucked me for a few days. Was absolutely terrible. Best of luck mate.,

**** yeah, that vehicle description sounds fuckin ace.
If I was driving that thing around here I reckon I'd be knee deep in pussy.

Luckily those types of utes are pretty rare down here, even on flinders island where I am again today.
I remember (quite fondly) back in Brisbane working with a carpenter who got around in one. Had a big wrangler sticker on the tailgate. I took a few measurements and made up a sticker with some contact and a paint pen that simply said "WANG" and stuck it on top just before he left site one day.
Ladies, gentlemen, the wang wrangler is in town.
