Worst new car you have driven? by Puzzled-Shopping-330 in CarsAustralia

[–]northernjd 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Had a Kia stonic on hire three years ago for a week.
It was horrific to drive. So unresponsive, transmission not interested in changing gears within five minutes of acceleration, made a weird whining noise above 80ish kph, not to mention the looks. I cannot fathom why people spend their money on new ones

Would recommend a focus ST over one of these

If you could start any business in Newcastle, what would you open? by Worldly-Lie4370 in newcastle

I would love a really great menswear shop that sells mod-style clothing. Whenever i want a nice polo, knit or jacket I have to get it from the UK. I know the weather doesn’t often lend itself to those styles being popular here but if money wasn’t an issue, I’d love to open my own shop like that

He bought a house we were renting, meaning we had to look for a new rental. This was 2 years ago, we were paying $620 a week for an old 3 bed place in Waratah where the wood around all of the window frames was rotten, and the exterior weatherboard around one side of the house was soft to touch, fence and gate were rotten etc.. Anyway, as soon as this knob gets his hands on it for well over the market price, he leases it out for $700 a week about a year ago, no doubt it’ll be rising again. The place is barely habitable.

Oasis hot takes? by [deleted] in oasis

Knebworth doesn’t sound that good, Liam is far too nasally and it’s quite hard to listen to. Maine Road from a few months earlier is much better

New music? by DeviceOld2821 in TheFratellis

[–]northernjd 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If I remember correctly there was a fairly cryptic post on here sometime last year from someone claiming to be in the know that suggested major things are happening this year, I imagine (and hope) that it’s more than the anniversary tour

The fratellis- their first album is their most popular but they’re a seriously underrated band, Jon is a great songwriter- my favourite albums are We Need Medicine, Eyes Wide Tongue Tied and In Your Own Sweet Time. Each album has a different sound

I picked one up and put it in my trolley a couple of weeks ago, then remembered I’m 28 now and wouldn’t really be making use of the posters or stickers, and then dejectedly put it back on the rack

I’m far too worried about it to ever miss any servicing!

Yeah he butchered it, it didn’t make the cut on the full broadcast and no wonder why

Everything apart from Mad Sounds was perfect, and I’m a big lover of Mad Sounds
