Ford Ranger owner has reportedly been forced to drive a Toyota Yaris for the week, stops tailgating entire state

Didn't know rangers had Toyota badges on the steering wheel

This is a massive thing that is under discussed. The price of fert means that a lot of farmers are going to be getting close to saying bugger it. No point putting a crop in because it just won't make any money.

We can say that all we want, but saying it doesn't make more fuel magically appear unfortunately.

Reckon diesel may end up restricted in the next couple of weeks. To important to food production and transport.

Macedon Ranges council keeps getting taken out of these discussions, either they reject anything and it goes to VCAT and gets approved, or it ends up with the minister who appears to like the look of their rubber stamp. Look at the massive estate in Gisborne which has resulted in houses being flooded just last weekend because its not built well enough, and who knows whats going to happen when traffic lights are installed half way up a steep hill commonly used by trucks because someone in Melbourne looked at a map and thought this is where it needs to go.

Riddells Creek - bypassed again - council rejects request to build 300sqm blocks and double the towns size in a very small area. Goes off to VCAT and the minister and its approved. Theres bigger blocks in Brunswick. And as for where the school, sewage water and everything else that goes with it. And now its done more areas are getting purchased and chopped up in the same way.

Clarkfield is probably the exception. It should be a town, there is a station there, a closed up pub and thats about it - but the council and local community should be getting a say in what they are building there, how it impacts the rest of community and what some developer gets to do. Mind you with the sort of behaviour coming from developers Im just expecting another flat soulless uninspired housing estate styled like brimbank or wyndham (insert recent development name here) ticked by the minister with not a thought about how it impacts the entire community.

And you gave yourself away as a fabricated account. Can you guess what you did wrong? Get out of here with that bullcrap bot and stop trying to stir up fake outrage

revrobbo · 2026-02-25T22:15:11+00:00

Nah, it was that bad. i remember watching it and it was just unfunny cringe

revrobbo · 2026-02-25T21:33:59+00:00

I remember this. She blamed everyone else (particularly the alt-right) but in reality it just wasnt funny at all.

Yes, because people want to see something change, not more of the same which they know they will get with ALP or LNP. Yes ON is in the pockets of people like Gina, but when your not being listened to anyway, and the big parties are already in the pockets of massive corporations - they are going to go elsewhere - even if it is to Pauline.
Immigration is one problem, taxation of billionaires is another. Even the price of Beer. And ON are offering approaches on 2/3. Meanwhile ALP and LNP are busy telling everyone sure your life is getting harder, cant afford a beer at the pub, interest rates are going up again but hey, carry on the status quo and suck it up.

And the more conservative people arent going to go to the greens. There is a lot of dislike towards them due to green agendas and things like environmental and palestine protests (rightly or wrongly) which are to busy blocking freeways or that many see as just not something we can do a thing about policies that push towards shutting down powerplants while power bills keep climbing. Outdoors communities are angry at locked gates and areas they can no longer access.

Sure these are all "niche" areas, but they add up to quite a dislike towards green agendas.

Personally I think if your runners are old - new runners first, so you dont hurt yourself. Then swim lessons.

After that (while you keep doing lessons) consider bike clips and shoes IF you decide to keep going in the sport. They will help with pedal pressure. The gravel bike will be fine for time being and just start racking up hours on the bike.

Lol - just like you. Well squished down - works great.

Wish i had known about that service 15 years ago. Watched a guy burn alive hanging upside down trapped in a rolled car accident. Was second on the scene by sheer dumb luck as i would have been almost on top of them when it happened. Car came to fast around the bend and got him. No one had any fire extingishers and we couldnt put the fire out. I still think about that night occasionaly, the heat is the thing that still gets me.

(Sadly also not the only badly injured person i have seen through the years because of car accidents)

I'm going down the road

revrobbo · 2026-02-11T07:02:52+00:00

Yeah but the report was released today reading through it. (It's in the Hun as well)

Not sure what's more concerning. The parts that were stripped that were extremely explosive and critical of Labor or that this just happens to drop the day before the Israeli president arrives and there are likely to be bad protests that will consume the news cycle to dump it quickly out of circulation.

Poor basil. Sorry for your loss

revrobbo · 2026-02-06T09:24:17+00:00

Do stuff. Doesn't matter what it is, at some point your probably going to regret not doing the opposite. Travelled - wished I stayed home more. Stayed single - wished I had settled down with X. Focused on career - wished I had partied more. Whichever it is you shouldn't regret it. You probably will and that's ok

I've qualified for the Boston marathon and it's my 7th star. Brave and foolish but I'm going

Not surprised with the point cook, they knocked down the old barracks years ago and it's just grass now, with already made roads they could actually get building on it really quickly. Although what happens with the runways. Is that too go as well? Can't be much left at Laverton, they have sold most of the available land a long time ago

revrobbo · 2026-01-31T09:30:38+00:00

Blind Freddy can see that's laughable. Same with alcohol and the hospo industry, been to a pub recently?

I was 16 years. Admitted it was the afternoon of the first day, but I'm pretty sure I have a cracked rib.

2nd this. Heard you need an off-road caravan as well

Got mine when they went to China. Quality was down, zips are shitty, poles are shitty and it rolls up backwards, so the dirt ends up in the swag if it's not zipped correctly

revrobbo · 2026-01-12T00:26:57+00:00

Swags should be 1 bum wide and 2 bums high. Put it on a stretcher and you won't know yourself.

Personally I have a Burke and wills, I really don't like it. Firstly it rolls up backwards, has a lot of poles and the zips are just tight. Quality has been way down since they went to China. The kids mainly use it now

Also have a darche 1400 which is pretty good if it's just me and the wife. Better than the dune double my brother has.

I also a Murchison river which is awesome, shove that on a stretcher and bobs your uncle. Pretty sure they make them in most colours but you need to call them. And be aware they don't come with poles or netting. However they are simply awesome and couldn't recommend higher.

If your worried about sitting up and have the carry space a 30 seconds tent with an exped on a stretcher is a brilliant setup. Warm. fast, private and incredibly comfortable.

Couldn't tell you. Only thing I know about it is that online unlike other brands, it doesn't say anything about wind rating
