    Just remember while you're enjoying your elevated position everyone else around you is pissed off because they can't see past your tank.

    Investors, forums and intelligence?

    I have certainly noticed spelling and grammar standards are much higher on forums such as this and share investing forums than on other sites I frequent. In particular some car enthusiast forums have atrocious use of the english language. It may have to do with those sites generally having a...

    Silly things drivers do!

    Kim how close are these so called tailgaters to the back of your car? With the number of tailgaters you appear to have I get the impression they're just cars sitting behind you a little closer than you would be if you were behind. I've only ever had one tailgater and I just slowed down heaps to...

    The Apprentice

    I wouldn't of hired any of them except for maybe Sam. Glad Morello won over Heather though, you could see she was a control freak and not a team player

    Choppers over Brissie

    Jesus Mad Max.... let it lie. It's far from a big deal so just put up with it for the rest of the week or however long it will be. The views you've expressed here have been nothing short of idiotic, I won't bother explaining why. Everyone else has already done so and you've pretty much ignored...

    Origin 2009

    It was a hugely entertaining match even though QLD lost. The last minutes were intense. I love how when we got the ball back we booted it up just to smash whoever caught it. Apparently it was Hodges' idea. Anyone else laugh when Creagh pushed Hodges and then skipped back behind his team mates?

    The youngest person in N.S.W to buy a home ....apparently??

    Haha I just saw that article about two minutes ago and it immediately reminded me of this site. I remember someone here saying their son bought a house on their 18th birthday unless I'm mistaken. But the girl buying a house when she was 16? I'm not sure that'll be topped.

    Smoking

    Smokers annoy the hell out of me. Not because of the damage it does to their and my health, but because of why they smoke. Most young people who start smoking just do so to look cool or fit in or whatever and I hate that. You're not impressing anyone. I have more time for those who started many...

    State of Origin

    Sunfish I have no qualms with a ref on the field making a wrong call when he's put on the spot. It happens, we all make mistake, and it often makes the game more exciting. The problem I have is with video refs getting calls wrong when they've got all the evidence in front of them, and time to...

    State of Origin

    Thorpey there's a difference. The video ref is supposed to be impartial and shouldn't make any mistakes considering he sees the exact same footage we do. When he stuffs up it can be a huge advantage to one side and the opposite to the other. This simply isn't fair. Whereas players simply...

    State of Origin

    QLD were clearly the better side, would of won by more if it wasn't for Bill Harrigan. God he makes some atrocious decisions and there's no excuse for mistakes when you're the video ref. None the less it was an enjoyable game, four in row for the maroons, hell yeah!

    My nephew has swine flu! Hmm.....

    It's all another media beat up in my opinion. Another reason I have no respect for them. By the way I've been sick for about a month, I doubt it's the swine flu and I don't really care if it is.

    Assertive or rude?

    I hate telemarketers and salesmen. I can never bring myself to be up front and say, "not interested." Then they get going on their speel and I'm always too polite to interrupt so I wait a few minutes and then politely say, "thanks but I'm ok." If they keep going I hang up or walk away/shut the...

    Interest Free deals

    I didn't vote. I've never done a deal like this but I've never had to buy anything that has this option. When I do I might take it up. It seems like a reasonable idea from a consumer's point of view as long as you're disciplined enough to pay it off before the interest comes in. Just put the...

    Bad spelling is rampant, but can be fixed

    Ummm, yes:p Nah as long as you don't do it again I can let it slide.

    Bad spelling is rampant, but can be fixed

    The spelling and grammar on this forum is far more accurate than that of most other forums i frequent. The automotive sites I visit are the worst. I'm usually not too annoyed at poor spelling unless it is ridiculously bad but there are words that are so commonly mispelt it frustrates me. Eg...

    Do you feel like a nerd?

    Do I feel like a nerd? Yes and no. I was never one to enjoy studying or doing stuff with computers and I much prefer pysical activites. However I don't go out every weekend drinking like most people my age and don't have much to do with my old friends anymore. I also don't waste my money and I...
