Got in on the app, tickets selected, proceed to payment:

"apologies for the interuption (sic), we'll be right back" error message pops up.

Finally reconnects, sorry, you've been timed out, please rejoin the que.

Thankfully didn't close the computer browser, hopefully that one still gets me in, but I am concerned the barcodes will now be treated as "used" by ticketek.

This round has been an ordeal.

Ok, got back in, barcodes were still available thankfully, however tickets together were no longer an option.
Had to end up grabbing three different singles.

Not ideal, but it is what it is.

There's a special place reserved in hell (right next to the sodomites) for motorists who insist on driving/blocking half the bike lane, espcially on ANZAC highway.

Oohhh look I need to turn left in 200-300 m so I'll block over half the bike lane whilst the traffic banks up and I'm stationary

F*** Wits

And dont get me started on F***tards who will turn left without indicating when bikes are along-side of them

Idiots that can't operate a roundabout correctly, in particular two laned ones.

I'd say 50% know how to indicate correctly, some over-indicate, like right hand indicator on to go straight!!

I go through Brittania twice a week in the evening peak, and 100% of the time there is a near miss with the inside lane trying to go straight onto Kensington rd while the outside lane is trying to turn right onto Fullarton rd

Althpough it's not rocket surgery, that set of roundabouts is minblowingly ridiculous, when my kids were on their L's I just happened to end up there for a laugh.

I drive through at least twice a day for 15 years, I actually think it’s pretty good. It’s those who are not concentrating or are timid that cause the issues.

It’s embarrassing, both the 2 roundabouts, and the fact that so may people haven't got the patience or skills to navigate.

It’s not as if in the history of the world, that a 5 road intersection can't be managed by traffic lights. Last time I looked the intersection at Gepps Cross had 5 roads, and faark me, its got lights. :roll:

Road traffic management has to unfortunately cater for the lowest denominator.
Dunno, I’m just an idiot.

I reckon introducing the 2nd roundabout the way they have causes more issues that it intended to solve.

Like you, I can manage it, but there are enough numpties around who can’t, together with the dicks that get their elbows out to do nothing other than increase risk.

Then again, if the Parisians can manage the Arc de Triomphe roundabout with 12 roads intersecting, no traffic management, nor lines or anything, then we need to look at ourselves. :lol:
