Re: What gives you the S&#T's!?

Russel Howcroft on the 3AW Breakfast show and his stupid giggling and laughing. Ross Stevenson is not like he used to be either. Might be switching over the the ABC before too long. Also the new 3AW Drive host, Jacqui Felgate is terrible. 3AW has gone to the dogs since they were bought out by Channe...

Our friendly little neighbourhood cafe closing it's doors suddenly today, my last early morning coffee there was very sad.

Re: What gives you the S&#T's!?

When I was getting my morning coffee at McDonalds this morning, an entitled idiot threw a tantrum, because there was no skim milk, the poor girl told her politely that the delivery had not yet arrived, but the tantrum continued until she was thrown out.

Re: Rare and interesting car sightings

I have seen many Lamborghini's being driven aggressively by entitled, rich young men, or on the back of a tow truck.
About 4 years ago, I went for a ride in a Lamborghini (birthday gift), and you really had to be a bit of a contortionist getting in and out of it. It was a 2012 Gallardo from memory.

Re: What gives you the S&#T's!?

I ate some Dominos pizza at an end of year work break up and never again- tasteless and you could fold the slices in half at least three times. We requested a Pizza Hut pizza the following year.

The local independent Pizza shop or in an emergency, Pizza Hut are my go-to Pizza places now.

Yes, trying to have a reasonable conversation with someone can be very difficult these days, more than not you are met with a very cold reaction.

Especially since COVID and especially in Victoria.

Re: What gives you the S&#T's!?

I looked at a new BYD Atto 3 recently at Doncaster Shoppingtown and the touchscreen does bloody everything, such as audio/climate/vehicle settings. Much like the Thoreb and Consat systems used in buses. The instrument cluster is small and it would take some getting used to. The manual is solely a PD...

Re: Victorian Bus Observations 2023

I noticed another thing with the new Consat system installed in the Ventura fleet, in that the driver can use the Consat console to liase with Operations and vice versa. Also it seems Ventura have gone to the OCC setup as I heard a message over the two way telling drivers to direct their messages to...

According to the Ventura fleet lists, there seems to have been a mass transfer of Mercedes 0500LE's from Moorabbin and Dandenong depots to Pakenham, with the displaced B7RLE's moving to Moorabbin and Dandenong depots.

Re: Sydney Bus Show 2023

Love the Dyson's Scania/Coach Concepts, apparently on the new generation Scania chassis.
Does anyone have a dash shot of it?, would be interested in seeing how they blend in the new Scania dash panel.
