Thanks, very kind of you bennymacca. I feel like I deserve a fancy tidal, like rear admiral. ;)

I ALWAYS wave and yes, itsvery frustrating when people dont do the same


It's wearing thin, I sometimes try and get next to them, wind my window down and yell ''Where's my f**king wave?".

I do a bit of country driving for work these days and where I'm from we have a habit of raising our index finger to a passing vehicle. Doesn't matter if we know the person in the other car or not it's just the done thing. Barely get a response from anyone!

So if you are driving south or West of Whyalla raise your finger you **** ;)

Driving to Bendigo to play gridiron there, the Sunraysia Hwy goes down to one shared lane width for both directions for a fair few Kms.

Not one c**t waved when I pulled over for them, so by the sixth or seventh car I was pissed off. Didn't pull over for anyone else after that in the next 5 trips.

Yep, you can only play nice guy for so long. I always wave so the other driver can acknowledge my gratitude that he put his arrival time back 8 seconds.

Yeah, it's one of the little, but great, things about the West Coast, although got to admit probably don't/haven't done it much when on the Lincoln Highway (except from Cowell through to Tumby) compared to other roads over there.
Gives me the sh!ts in the hills too, particular on the Torrens Valley road from Inglewood through to Birdwood when you pull over in the takeover lanes and don't get acknowledged as though it's the passers' right to expect you to do so - it may be, but just seems to be a very arrogant attitude.

Thanks, very kind of you bennymacca. I feel like I deserve a fancy tidal, like rear admiral. ;)


To celebrate your newfound tidal have a Dutch Rudder.

Dude at work books the whole of Januaury off despite having no school aged children, his two kids are in their 20's, the part that shits me is that I get told I can't take leave off while he's away, I have a week long cricket tournament that my son is likely to get selected in and then my daughter has a 9 day state tournament in Canberra later in the month.

Nice one, Grenville, didn't think you were able to pull it off.

Typical of the Dutch, really. What's the name of their capital - Handsterjam?

Their propensity for plugging dykes is somewhat fishy.

Yes. Point the bone at them and they simply clam up.
