Continuing Rant Thread - Get it Off Ya Chest here

[Dave70]

Hey don't forget it's 2015, common sense is pretty much a super power these days. About as common as leaping tall buildings in a single bound and surviving a bite from a radioactive spider whilst gaining the ability to climb up walls and shoot webs from your hands.

Thats exactly correct. And I see plenty of citizens, particularly pedestrians or worse, cyclists, keen on handing in their Dawin card and ruining my day by crossing streets and negotiating traffic sporting headphones and updating their facetweet status.
Nearly clobbered a yoof ambling across an intersection on a pushie not long ago doing just that. Had I been otherwise distracted, he would have been ******* pate.
I doubt we've evolved gene for not sticking a knife in a toaster, but one would hope once the fundamentals of alternating current and its potential lethality are grasped, it kind of follows you wouldn't stick your finger in a light socket either.

'But he wasn't signed off on correct light socket protocol'..

I got kicked out of a Yarra Trams depot I was supposed to be working in a while ago for wearing the wrong colour hi vis vest. I was told "Yellow looks too much like green a tram driver might confuse you for a green light which is dangerous they might go when they really should be stopping. So we only allow orange vests here." He was serious too.
Moral of the story don't wear green in Melbourne as you'll probably get hit by a tram.

Go to the 22:33 mark unless you want the whole album...

Just noticed that our local Turkish Kebab shop has the Halal emblem emblazoned on their shop front.


I don't know whether to not give a flying **** and keep enjoying their amazingly good food, or to not give a flying **** and keep enjoying their amazingly good food.

What should I do?

Well why don't you just fly to Syria and join Isis JYOSAMA

I spent many years on the railways.....and one thing that was STRICTLY FORBIDEN was the wearing of Green and Yellow or Red as on the track a driver can mistake the colour for a signal and shit can go down real fast when that happens.

Trains have lots of hard edges and **** all crumple zone.

Tram, as in the Bourke St. Mall. Things that interact with pedestrians in a more up close and personal manner than a train. I've helped with rescues for pedestrian v tram not pretty or fun. It scares me no end that a driver may mistake a human in a green shirt for a signal and go...

Is that for real?, fark me if the muppet operating a train etc cannot tell the diff between a person and an immovable object,being a control light , the operator and management need a good arse kicking.
But then again the rant is about moronic actions and systems.

Mate..I have been there when a train is going past you doing 80-100km/hr. You only get ONE CHANCE with a train

I have sat in the cabs of trains...its not that simple.

Think about about the fact that a train going 100kms/hr at a weight of 10.000tons cant just pull up when they see a dickhead on the tracks.

Trains have lots of hard edges and **** all crumple zone.

You've never seen Boxing Helena, have you? You'd have a 'second' in there somewhere if you had

Actually I have.

Admittedly I enjoy the ridiculous extremity of something like bsf but it's pretty retarded.

I reckon they should make a prequel to the original Mad Max next... It'd probably be even dumber, but a movie consisting of a bunch of blokes on Z900 Kwakkas being chased around the Western outskirts of Melbourne by another bunch of blokes in XB Falcons sounds pretty cool. To me anyway.

Might have been a decent action flick and not much more, but they had to go and Hollywood all over it. Except for the love interest between the ex home and away stars. That really touched me.
I think I need to re-watch the original to get the taste out of my mouth.

 

[Blind Dog]

Actually I have.

F me, they made something worse? I can see why you didn't have the energy to rant

 

[manticle]

Not necessarily worse - just stupider. Like being caught in a conversation about outstanding tupperware lid design from the 1980s with a real estate agent.

 

[Dave70]

I don't know much.
But I know ******* stupider when I see it.

When I said my 'local' shop, I didn't specify which already-overrun-terrorist-state I was living in.

BTW, the tabouli is to die for.

 

[mje1980]

To die for, or to martyr for?
