Continuing Rant Thread - Get it Off Ya Chest here

[Dave70]

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.

Would there be worldwide condemnation, protests and boycotting of Jewish business and worse if the army Israeli army started using its own citizens as human shields, initiated a suicide bombing campaign and Reuven Rivlin adopted a genocidal policy toward the Palestinians of Gaza? You fuckin bet.

Reverse that table and ask yourself why the double standard.

 

[TheWiggman]

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

Haha, I laughed.
Asked a mate at work here about this a while back 'cause he's a farmer and grew up in the bush, regular attendee at B&Ss, plenty of cowboy mates. I said "what kid of girls would even go for these blokes? Who do they think they're impressing?"
Straight-faced he said "Big girls."

Don't worry, I don't like Hamas either. The thing is though, if you think the international community condones those things (and, I will point out that there's a lack of consensus about the extent to which they occur), then we must be observing different conflicts.

 

[mje1980]

Yeah Hamas is crap, too much garlic.

 

[philmud]

I'm a hommusexual.

 

[Liam_snorkel]

I made some killer hummus last weekend.

 

[mje1980]

So much garlic you lost your head?

 

[shaunous]

I went to a B&S ball, and I owned a Chevy Lowrider and still wear nuttin but punk black threads, also lived in Southport GC at the time.



Holy fuk them B&S's are wild, WELL, used to be, apparently alcohol laws and insurance has wrecked the whole vibe of them and unless its a known big one they dont happen anymore.
Paid $100, had to turn up in a shitty cheap suit, got given a plastic cup on a rope to tie around ya neck to fill and consume, and as much grog and food as u could ingest was the game.
How can that not be fun. Except for the country music, damn thats a terrible terrible genre.




B&S utes are terrible looking things, thats for sure.

 

[Ducatiboy stu]

Did a couple of B&S balls in my younger days....Nothing on the planet compares to the old B&S balls......

Went to one that the spirits was mixed in a garbage bin and they just dipped your cup in it. The beer was poured from a sheep drench gun. I ended up 2 towns away in the opposite direction when I woke up the next day. Damn it was a good night.

 

[shaunous]

Hahahaha, yeh forgot about the booze all mixed in garbo bins.

 

[shaunous]

They called me OG Farmer











I wish I could have kept this thing, but alas, I have 2x 37 Chev's to turn into Lowriders now :beerbang:

NFI - is my Pom background to blame? If so, are these likely to feature in the citizenship test or am I just an old fart?

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)

I thought it was lame that my factory fitted spotties only light up in high beam mode. Right, I now know what to spend money on. lol

PS: anyone able to explain how to/what is involved in installing an antenna that extends your cellphone signal?

What I don't get is how does it extend your signal if the phone isn't plugged into the aerial? And where do I get one of these things! Yes, I'm after some functionality here. My handheld UHF is plenty good for my UHF needs out bush.

You're safe. In (F)abbot's Australian Kingdom.

You just need to brush up on your Ebonics. And keep it real.

 

[Mardoo]

Well FMD, another low rider fan here in Oz. Rare as hen's teeth it seems sometimes. Saw my first one when I was 12 in the States. Never stopped dreaming since.

By law you can only operate your spotlight on high beam, its basically so that you cant drive around town with your spotlights on and also for when you pass other cars on the road you have to dip to low beam

As for the mob phone antenna you will need to see some one who installs 2 way radio's ( or jump on evalbay ). Some phones have an actual external antenna connector on the back that connects when you put it in the car cradle, most just use a passive connection to the external antenna. You cant buy signal amplifiers for mobile phones as power output is limited by law.
