I have seen people cut through garages a few times. Maddest thing I ever saw was a motorbike overtake me by diving into a service road at a roundabout, weaving round bends and parked cars (thankfully no kids playing in the street) and back onto the road at about 80kmh in a 50 limit in Edgewater. I was going pretty quick, at the limit and throwing it round corners a bit, so it wasn't as if I was holding him up. He is probably dead now.

Perhaps KLF didn't either... Hmmmmmmmm.




I am far too innocent for this conversation.

hey listen i was,jokin,,,

I didn't.

Hey that wasnt you in the convertible mercedes I saw do just that the other day was it? It was such an unusual thing that it actually dawned on me what he was doing. I dont think I have ever seen anyone do that before. He ended up a whole 2 cars ahead of where he would have been had he waited for the lights to change.

It makes no sense to me. I used to see it on the motorway in the UK, when the traffic was bad, if you were near an exit people would leave the motorway, usually after going down the hard shoulder for a while, up the off ramp then down the on ramp to gain a couple of hundred metres. what the hell is the point in that?

Sorry Ast, but unless I had to get to the hospital as a matter of urgency I just can't get my head around cutting through a petrol station to gain a few places in the traffic. Especially here where we are all supposed to be so "laid back" - isn't that one of the reasons we came here?

i just reckon you should set off on time and have a few minutes spare.

Hi Renth
Must admit i did the off ramp thing a couple of times until i took an off ramp from the m25 to go straight down the other side but it wasn't an option and ended up somewhere round heathrow which put about 20mins on the journey

The cure for this is to be deported to the UK where your punishment will be to get stuck on the Hanger Lane gyratory for two years, and then we'll talk about laid back.

err.. sure they weren't kiwi fruit?

bigger country, bigger things, they certainly seem to go in for big structures, like the giant ram in a town i forget (very forgettable place, one ram town) complete with giant bollocks... it is about 30 ft tall. There is another town with a giant crayfish.
Bet mars bars and Wagon Wheels are smaller

How could you forget Goulburn home of the giant merino??? A true Australian icon to be visited by any aspiring Aussie citizens as part of the indoctrination proceedings!!! He has recently walked up the hill too - used to be down in the town but is now up next to the Macdonalds on the Hume Hwy

Things certainly are bigger here. I've grown by 2 dress sizes in just under 18 months.

Aww, poor you I heard womans boobs grow bigger here because of the chemicals they put in the food

Just a rumour of course.

The girls have grown, too. What used to be a comfortable D a couple of years ago is now an E or F.

My daughter piled on the weight when she was here. God knows why. She went from a size 10 to a size 14 and an E cup bra.
She was horrified.
Now she is back in UK and lost all the weight. It's so weird.
