Bit cheaper in Vic? 17yo son got done a month ago, $600+, we didnt tell him that Mum took the hit on the demerit points so he thinks he only has 1 left for his remaining time on his P's

I got pinged as well.
I was actually at the red light stationary behind a big truck and the light went green but truck took a while to get going. Time I followed it through the light had gone red.
$600 bucks later.

Copped a speeding fine on the way to do a trial at langhornes in April

What I thought was going to be an easy lettuce leaf cost me over five of them...

Doing 90 in an 80 zone on the Paris Creek road FMD - a road that used to be 100.

These useless things

Being bribed to enter Vietnam.
Thought I had everything sorted, crossed every T and dotted every I .... until they found my middle name missing from the USD$25 e-visa I had sorted before I left.

"Sir, you need to fly home now next flight, we cannot let you enter"
(let me stew on it for a few minutes sitting in customs)
"Sir, do you need to enter Vietnam? Is it urgent?"
(well yes, I am here for work)
"Sir we have another way, USD $125 cash to me and we can do an express visa for you sir"
(30 minutes later, and I am allowed to proceed)

Being tax deductible will soften the blow somewhat.

Managed to get home unscathed, lesson learnt for next time, get a local to do the visa.

Just came on here to post pinched nerves in the lower back. Usually go away after some movement but had to leave work after only an hour this morning. Getting a CT scan tomorrow as am still in pain with tingling sensations down right glute & hamstring.

PS. The reason I put the smiley face is from the drugs I've been prescribed. Woohoo

So after 2 weeks & an MRI, turns out I've got 2 bulging discs & one herniated disc.

Geezus that sounds painful, hope you have a quick recovery mate.

This site has become very slow. I'm dropping in less and less often...
I could go to the loo for a pee while something I post finally gets loaded and opens.

It used to be quite prompt a year or so ago. I'm not sure how much of the problem is changes to the site security itself or all the ads, or how much is increased security in the browsers. I've tried with Firefox, Vivaldi, and Opera but there is not much difference.

Extremely slow.

Agree. There’s days where I don’t bother cause it’s that’s slow and full of ads that are slow to close.

Posted the same thing a couple of weeks ago @Wedgie

Cheers guys, I'll pass it on to Diss.
I haven't noticed anything but I have an ad blocker so maybe it is the ads?

I’ve got an ad blocker and it can still be very slow at times.

Glacially slow atm with adblock

Can afford the luxury of a piss, shit and a tug before the page refreshes.
