COPS FINE CABBIE OVER SOCKS
d'Artagnon of Brisbane makes an important point about the little understood dangers of dress shoes and their large 'welts' - D.
"Well I would be happier with the taxi driver wearing that footwear rather than dress shoes though longer socks do look better. Most dress shoes have large welts which are a safety issue when driving cars. It was drummed into me in the sixties that welts can catch on the underside of the edge of a brake pedal and loose you vital fractions of a second in going for the brakes. I am often horrified at the monster welts I see on police officers who drive pursuit vehicles. Check out race drivers footwear and then have look at what you are wearing. Maybe the police should have a look at the things they are issued with on driving safety grounds."

Thankfully, Colin reminds us of what could've been - D
"Thank fully [sic] he had shoes on, imagine the fine for no shoes."

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!!!"
