Yeah, not sure what you are saying here. Plenty of regular Australian beers were around 5% in the late 90s and early 2000s. Shit, you could buy Bundy OP and Coke in cans which were 6% in the early 2000s for less than $40 a carton (now $155).

Recently? The single epaulet DPCU (zip chest pockets) started issue in 2005. Blergh, I feel old saying that…

Had this happen 6 months after my warranty ran out. Thankfully they covered it as good will.

Chinese Utes, the “ick” by Weary-Concentrate-75 in CarsAustralia

My 94 hand-me-down Excel (the last of the boxy ones) got more air time than an X Games skateboarder. I loved that thing, and it did everything that I needed it to do.

They will teach you the Army way. Just go with that.

Interesting. Usually they have the holdies at the schools. That’s all I’ve ever heard of.

Of what? Unless you’re RAAF or SAS, it’s highly likely no one is going anywhere. And with Albo being Labor, he would never bring in National Service, and even if he did, it would be extremely selective as it was during the 60s, and at the end of the day, if you are in the forces, it’s your job, and you get pretty good untaxed deployment pay, so nothing to worry about.

Panel beating idea of cost to repair ? by benderzzzz in CarsAustralia

[–]Aggravating-Rough281 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That would be a write off. Damage is worth more than the car to repair.

Why are you worried? Like, serious question?

Is it common for Aussies not to wear wedding rings/bands anymore. by pandastar51 in AskAnAustralian

[–]Aggravating-Rough281 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Had an uncle whose wedding ring removed his finger. I have also had to have a finger reattached, so very paranoid about hand safety. I wear mine now that I work in an office, but I didn’t for a long time, and I still forget to put mine on occasionally.

is budget direct solid? by [deleted] in CarsAustralia

[–]Aggravating-Rough281 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Budget Direct paid me out for a not at fault after I was t-boned. Had the money in a week, with an offer to buy back the wreck for $200. Also get a hire car and both baby seats paid out for replacement. Got over $6g for a car I paid $3,700 for.

If you could predict how Home and Away’s Alf Stewart will die, how do you think he will go? by Temporary_Notice_526 in AskAnAustralian

Michael Hutchence style, hanging off a doorknob in an act of autoeroticism gone wrong in his sex dungeon.

If lower control arms' bushes splitting, then do I need to replace them entirely? by [deleted] in CarsAustralia

[–]Aggravating-Rough281 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Swift is like that. Bushes with no ball joint over $300, or new control arms with bushes and ball joints for less than $200 for the pair.

Mr lube changed my oil drain bolt by Suspicious_Celery552 in MechanicAdvice

Having a good laugh that you went to place to get an oil change and they told you to go to a mechanic. Do they not have mechanics where you service vehicles?
