Arriving at the station yesterday morning, up the line at McKinnon, we could see this: Not a good sign. Word was there was a fire on the train. The evening TV news and today’s Herald Sun revealed what happened: Jesse Martin, once lauded as the youngest person to sail solo around the world, had come ... [More]
What are the odds? Within five minutes of each other last night, I spotted two drivers yakking away on their phones as they drove down the street, both with personalised licence plates. So, TOOZ and COURTZ… you’re a pair of morons. Speaking of personalised number plates, why would you choose the plate MAGGOT?
Dear TZO 421: If you have one hand holding a cigarette, and the other holding a mobile phone, how do you expect to be able to drive your car properly? It’s astounding how many people drive along holding a phone to their ears. So stupid. A couple of times earlier this century I tried having ... [More]
1. Dear driver of EML 925, How about you get off the phone? Then you might be paying enough attention to remember to indicate when you turn. 2. Good on you for driving a Prius. But parking in a Bus Zone? Not so good. Oh, unless… I don’t suppose you’re a substitute service for the ... [More]
A reminder in this morning’s paper of why you should look before you step out of a tram: The 12.14am kid arrives, the blue light case. The paramedics got him in quicker than 15 minutes. He’s a mess. He’s collided with a car allegedly travelling 70 km/h in Preston as he stepped out of a ... [More]
Dear silver RAV4 driver who crossed my path this morning, I’ve filled in a form on the EPA web site. You should be hearing from them soon. I recommend you talk to your passenger about a contribution for the fine you’ll be getting.
It’s nice that the all-new Jazz has come to town… but which town? Judging from the poster, London, apparently, not Melbourne. The order’s Roll. Beef Roll. Bless ’em, they’re trying their best to stop any redundancy redundancy. No. You don’t understand. IT DOESN’T APPLY TO ME. (Mind you, with people apparently continually parking on it, ... [More]
Another top class bit of parking. Okay, so it doesn’t appear to actually say “No parking”, but it’s not hard to imagine what the intent was. I haven’t seen the Get Smart movie yet, but I’m quite amused by these telephone box adverts for it. In Rippon Street, they’re apparently very proud of that beautification ... [More]
Something I remember my driving instructor telling me all those years ago was that mounting the kerb was a big no-no during a driving test. It would result in instant failure. It sticks in my mind, particularly when I see something like this: This was the second attempt at parking for this guy. I watched ... [More]
Lines? What lines? (Outside Officeworks, Highett) No time to park properly! Emergency stove purchase! (Outside Clive Peeters, Braybrook)
My car is so cool, I can park anywhere I want.
Help our kids by eating a Parma — from today until next Thursday, $2 from every chicken parma served at 77 pubs around Melbourne (PDF list) will go to the Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday appeal. Yes, more than ever, superparma.com is sadly missed. I can’t give you a picture rivalling this carpark mishap in ... [More]
