There was a term for that we used to use way back when but I won say it. It's not pc. Obviously mirrors are a new thing. Same as walking and doorways.

It appears his shorts are pulling the fat surrounding his belly button together which has formed a vertical slit.

Why is it that the car in front of me today could only manage to labour along at 50km/h in the 80km/h zone while it was a solid white line but had no worries exceeding the 80km/h limit each time a dotted line appeared..?

Why is it - most women at the checkouts at Coles and Woolies only decide to get their purse out to pay after the total amount is revealed? You stand there patiently for 5 -10 minutes as they put through $200 - $300 worth of groceries and then they decide to go through their handbag and purse looking for their card. "Oh, have you got a rewards card also"? Hold on i'll just rummage through my purse for another minute while I find that also. It must be a male thing, I have my cash or card out ready to go before the first item is scanned.

And don't get me started on parents letting their little angels press the buttons on the ATM machines while you wait behind them patiently. "Oh you pressed the wrong button silly billy, just start again, this man behind won't mind waiting" FFS!!

End of rant lol

The better question is "when do you last remember it?".

If I stop to ask myself that question, then put it out of my head and go about my business, 15 minutes later, boom, it pops into my head.

Why is it that when I put my phone in my pocket it manages to ring somebody all on it's own, but when I want to make a call I have to turn it on, swipe screen , enter a code, go to contacts, find contact, press contact then press dial?

lose, loose

It annoys me that kids are learning Japanese and various other languages at school, yet struggle with basic English and Mathematics.

Why is it that every second fool these days claims to be a "CEO"

In days gone by, small and even medium companies never used the title - it was only larger corporates, where they had an executive level of staff, that needed a "Chief" amongst them.

Now every 2nd news article has someone calling themselves a CEO of a sttartup, where they're the only person "employed" or it's a 2-5 person small business, or even worse - one I read today was a volunteer association that has 6 members, and the spokesperson for it called themselves the CEO! Hell every self-employed tradie is a CEO at the rate it's going.

It's like GT Falcons, for every 1 real CEO out there there's 25 more fakers claiming a few fancy letters.

Why is it.....

That these ignorant greenies fail to see the big picture, and continue to promote the "all about me" attitude?

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-01-1...arging/9235564

The article notes how the average fossil-fuel car, with 40% excise on fuel, contributes around 4.5c per km to road funding, whilst electric cars contribute nothing.
It then goes on to suggest a distance based, or "user pays" tax system for road funding - meaning owners of electric cars will have to contribute to funding the very roads they are using.

The article quotes a clown with a Tesla who is only willing to pay the distance tax on one condition - he wants an "air quality tax" on fossil fueled cars:
Quote:
"Western Australia resident Rob Dean, who has owned his Tesla Model S for more than three years, said he would be happy to pay a "fairly proportioned distance tax" to pay for his road use, but there's a catch.

"I would also expect any progressive government to add an air quality tax on fossil fuel vehicles that emit damaging tailpipe emissions into the air we breath, in turn placing a heavy burden on the health system," he said."
Where the F%*# does he think the power comes from for the majority of electric cars on the road?

Shifting emissions from the tailpipe to the power station is the reality these self-entitled elitists fail to see. Maybe 1 in 100 might be truly "green" charging only with solar, but they would be a very small minority, especially since WA, where he resides, generated just 7% of their power from renewable sources in 2014-2015: https://rac.com.au/home-life/info/st...e-energy-in-wa

It's this bullcrap environment of "entrepeneurship" that the media have been trying to ram down our throats. It has bred a rather silly environment that has all sorts of poo kickers thinking they too can be business owners and make it big. There's a reason 90% of startups fail...
