Re: Sneaky unsporting Bastards

I would like to call you something not very nice for such a lack of understanding but I will refrain. And it wouldn't be that constructive.

If he was doing less or equal to the maximum speed, he...

Re: Sneaky unsporting Bastards

Well actually you are wrong but I can't be bothered to debate that point.

Re: Sneaky unsporting Bastards

The other 59% get killed because of various factors, not paying attention (mobiles, stereos), tiredness, drugs, alcohol and aggressive driving.

Speeding is the number 1 killer.

Re: Sneaky unsporting Bastards

I won't shoot you down, I 100% agree with you. Why everyone is in a hurry I don't know? If the limit is 100kph and you go 114kph on average you would arrive 7 minutes earlier travelling 100 km. Is...

Not statistics as such but stories reported in WA news papers. And also sent to me in an email from a mortgage broker (Think he could be biased)!

Sorry, this is just plainly incorrect, all of it. To pick on one point - do you honestly think that English and Welsh people justify themselves internationally from a sport that only has 8 teams?

Re: The Great Australian Housing Bubble

Re: broadband in Australia
