driving in victoria (no this isnt pornographic)

Now Mexicans shit me as much as they shit anyone above the border (for the North American reader (s) I'm not talking about people who live south of Texas), Queenslanders included, but actually having to drive amongst them is fraught with danger!
Zero lane discipline
Zero tolerance for people from other states who are unsure where they are going but who signal lane changes with lots of space n time.
The attitude that 'oh?? You wanna change into MY lane you ^&$)($%#^%$^?? You think because you indicated AND there is plenty of room that I will let you in??? Ima speed up into the gap so FUCK YOU arsehole!!!'
I havent been cut off so many times in on YEAR driving in Sydney as I did in one MORNING in Melbourne. Animals...

I havent been tailgated like that in years.
They run red lights (we all know i HATE that)
They think Amber means accelerate. Bastards.
They ALL seem to have massive amounts of trouble watching where they are going AND maintaining control of their vehicle
even Rocky is a better driver than anyone from Victoria. The only people who werent shit were from out of state (NSW or Qld) or like the gurls' father, originally form elsewhere.
Give them a merging lane situation and my god the horror the horror! Rude arrogant obnoxious ill disciplined self centred egotistical maniacs behind the wheel. Steve Bracks (Vic premier) if you want to lower the road toll it isnt speed that is the problem in your state its your full compliment of absolute DICKHEADS allowed to drive. Does anyone actually TEACH these pusillanimous puke inducing morons A how to steer and brake and B defensive driving?
Youve got GREAT roads. You have shit drivers. You should see them in NSW they havent got a CLUE. Id book Vic drivers on principle if i was aa NSW copper on the theory that i KNOW theyve done something really really stupid that really really shit all the other road users in the last 5 minutes or so.

Yep the gurl is home we went n got her on the weekend. Swapmeet at bendigo then down to melbourne to get the gurl.
Like bendigo swap. Wasnt too hot. No dust. No friggin morons. Unlike Ballarat. Lots of dust, too damned hot n every 2nd person a total dickhead. And most of them tanked to the eyeballs.

You know when the Americans get hold of something they cant help but complicate the shit out of it eh.
I just read a book by an american 'squash expert' who managed to take about 100 pages to say 'hit the ball down the walls, drive it deep when you are behind your opponent and hit short when youre in front'AND made it sound like 'his' 'strategy' for winning squash was the something he thought up all by himself. I just reduced it to one sentence mate. HE covered it up with all sorts of technical sounding bullshit and interestign circular arguments. He also seemed to be operating under the assumption that your opponent would graciously hit the ball BACK to you all the time in the middle of the court. Let calls and strokes dont seem to exist in his world either. But hey Ima try it n see. Strange idea eh... I always thought you hit it as far away from your opponent as possible. anyhoo...

I've been operating under the impression I'm driving an invisible car recently ... the number of people who've swerved straight at me, or pulled out in front of me, or not braked as I come to roundabouts is frightening. Either that or the MOTH has decided to try and cash in on my life insurance policy.

And I detected a decided snark in your last comments regarding my less than regular commentary frequency. I always read ... don't always comment though, cos I figure if people wanted to read my ramblings and thoughts, they'd read my blog, not yours ... so pfft !!!

Kassi said...

PS : I notice you haven't commented on MY blog in forever either ... so double-pfft !!! :P

Amber DOESN'T mean accelerate?! oh

I reckon you should put that one sentence onto a pretty bit of paper, seal it in an official looking envelope and label "The Secret Technique of A Squash Ace". Bet you'd sell millions of them envelopes. Don't forget us little people though ok?

well pfft for some reason the stupid comments arent being emailed to me at my hotmail addy...

lately Ive had mebbe 5 minutes at a time to look on line so I havent been loggin into the blog itself.

Kassi your blog isnt showing the comments Ive left even on the main page number count! weird eh cuz I check yours religiously n comment my friend. The reason I like comments to be left is so I know someone is reading it!! I cant seen the point if noone reads it.

oh yeah
n kassi I used to have a thing where every 3 months, on the road, people would act like I was Mr invisible. This would last a week or so then it was back to normal again.

Rocky the reason new southmen look confused in Southern Qld is because all the damn traffic signs are in Japanese. Since I am Australian touring IN AUSTRALIA i say FUCK learning Japanese just to visit Qld!
