I remember it from a Smash Hits interview with Corey Hart (this is the secret shame thread?).
A fan said to him, ‘right is gay, right?’ (his was right)
He said yes, generally, but not where he was from.
And that’s how I’ve always remembered it.

If you wore one in each ear, it either meant you were bi or you just loved bling.

Why do people insist on walking in the bike lane, even when a dedicated walking path is provided for them 1 metre away?

You see that along Beach Road from Port Melbourne to St Kilda and the bike riders hurtle along very quickly. I pointed it out to a couple walking along who were screaming at the bike moving past. They snapped that it doesn’t say pedestrians can’t walk there. Stupid has many levels.

Not really a question but watching the Lexus GX(luxury landcruisers) ad.
Looks to be lovely but excruciatingly expensive 4x4.
Couldnt work out why a young handsome chef(who would probably be living pay cheque to pay cheque knowing most chefs) would be advertising it instead of some wealthy grey nomads(who will buy one I assume to do a lap of Oz)
Then I realised.
Handsome young chef was fly fishing and preparing sushi at an upmarket restaurant.
Then I got it.
Old people dont sell other old people cars 
That’s advertising though.
Burly bearded guys all having fun having a punt.
Sexy man/woman for perfume or underwear.
No one actually looks like the people in the ads in real life.

Yeah old wealthy people love “hat restaurants “, weekends fly fishing in tassie etc.(or at least the idea of it when they line up for their rodd and gunn and rm williams boots)
And i reckon the good looking chef helps get the wealthy boomer wife vote yes on the new car purchase.
I also noticed the latest camry advert has a guy in a cardigan driving one as an uber.
Two birds in one stone there I guess 
(I think camrys are great cars but you couldnt help feel like your putting an uber sticker in the rear window could you?)
Most of the Ubers I’ve had lately have been Tesla.
Camrys have the shittest drivers tho.

It’s precisely at this point that the cyclist says, “fark this I’m going on the road”
Beware: Rant Ahead.
On the weekend, bell ringing is continuous so I no longer ride then. There is just too many people are either walking or jogging on the bike path. It’s getting worse mid week now as well. People are just so inconsiderate.
One bell means I am passing you.
Two bells means get off the bike track now and take your dog with you.
Three bells means take your headphones off and move the fock over.

This is one of those “What is the appropriate thread?” type posts.
I was in Melbourne yesterday and today for the first time in ten years and was genuinely gobsmacked at just how terrible the traffic was and how congested the roads have become compared to the last time I was in town.
Have Melbourne Blitzers noticed that’s it getting/got worse or it just me being used to driving in a regional town? How the fark do you put up with it?

After being in Sydney for 6 weeks this year, the Melb traffic isn’t too bad. I think you have got used to Regional and we have got used road works and traffic management.

I just bought a place in Geelong and will be selling my house in inner Melbourne. I’m so happy to be able to drive around at 60km/h with very few speed humps. 40km/h zones filled with speed humps are not for me.
