STEAK SANDWICH FILLED POTHOLE
Mr Madden, is finally blowing the whistle on those by-the-book bureaucrats down in Geelong - bloody southerners! - D.
"So a club got their driveway fixed and two people got lunch. The biggest scandal since "storm in a tea cup". Go chase up some real criminals. This looks like a community of mateship and extremely harmless. Be different if they were given money. What would have happened to the sandwiches if the club didn't sell them or use them the rest of the day anyway."

70 CLUBS FACE GLASS BAN
Kareen Ferguson of Brisbane finds a clever way to avoid the horrors of drinking out of plastic - D.
"I went out on Saturday night to the Chalk Hotel. They were using plastic cups there. The normal price there for a rum and coke (in a glass) $7.50. They were charging the same price for a rum and coke in a plastic cup $7.50 for a PLASTIC CUP no way! So I was buying a stubbie of Bundy for $10.00. Yes they are a bit more expensive, but you get more and you are drinking it out of glass! So I am right in saying most people will switch to drinking spirits out of Stubbies like I did. So you will still have this glassing issue. It's simple -Jail these losers who are going around glassing people!!!"

THEME PARKS CUT-LUNCH BAN
Simon of Kedron is angry enough to let the 'damn bureaucrats' loose - D.
"We pay enough to get into these places as well as the extra bits while we are in there. If I have to buy all my food and drinks as well then I simply cannot afford to take my kids there anymore. Their prices for food and drink are way too high because they have a captive audience.
Let's get the ACCC in on this."

Luckily, Richer Thanyew pours a bucket of tough love over the likes of Simon - D.
"I'd suggest that if you're so poor than you can't afford to buy yourself a greasy burger & fries when you're out then you should really be spending your money a bit more wisely than wasting it at theme parks. Maybe cut out the pokies, booze and fags too. That said, Australia is full of mugs like you and the greedy corporations know it. Where else in the world do you pay a premium for stuff that is essentially garbage? Stay away and let them rot I say."

TEACHERS URGED TO SMARTEN UP
Unfortunately, Jack is almost alone and surrounded by bitter, boring, conservative drivel.- D.
"Those fulminating about respect, decency and good, old-fashioned this, that and the other should realise that not everyone thinks like you or wants to live like you. Some schools are situated in places where being "average" is not the be all and end all of human existence. Some of we parents aren't interested in bringing our kids up to be army officers, bank managers, accountants and other types of human drones. Some of us don't want the only life lesson being taught by adults, including teachers, to our children to be how to conform. If you want your own local school to be a bogan factory churning out kids whose only ambition in life is to have a neat haircut and to drive a Commodore, then join your local school council and knock yourself out. But don't impose your My Three Sons mentality on the rest of us."

Unlike most of the commentary team on this story, Doreen of Qld Ipswitch reminds us why the 'taxie issue' riles people up so much without being a racist .- D.
"I was driving down teh [sic] Ipswich Highway a couple of weeks back in front was a taxie [sic] driver going right into the other lane of traffic all over the road. Sure would have been one big accicdent. [sic] My husband got his cab number & I rang up there & then on my mobile phone & told them. that one of there [sic] drivers was all over the road & had a poor passanger [sic] in there. For sure I would have got out !! if the pol ice were there he would have got pulled over. Dont know if he had been drinking or not. All the manager said at the cab place was maybe he was TIRED !!!! My God"

CAR CLAMPS FOR FINE DEFAULTERS
Matt of Brisbane of Brisbane cuts through the BS with both barrels. - D
"Lets [sic] not talk about speed as anyone who knows anything about having safer roads knows that the BS they tell us about "speed kills" is just BS. More people die from bad driving at slow speed than speeding, not to metion [sic] those who have cars which should be on the road anyway or are drunk/high."

Briniton of over the rainbow shines a light on the chaos that is local grocery shopping in sunny Queensland - D.
"When I see Scotch Fillet steak priced at $29 kg Yes I guess I am being ripped off. Rib Eye Fillet same sort of prices but then Rib Eye is the better cut. Not that I can afford to ever buy it I just dream about buying it.We recently had in the grocery flyers within a 10km radius 4 different prices for mince on special. What really gets my goat is that we have 2 stores different names but still both owned by the same company and at times both sell the others products. It is not unusual to see Tomatoes for instance $1.99 a k at one shop and at $4.99 at the other. Go Figure.Rip off ?yes indeed."
