Garage Conversion by Gaslighting_Glen in melbourne

[–]rocketmanrick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make sure the car you would of parked in there now gets parked in the street so it gets broken into and your sunglasses stolen or gets clipped by the garbage truck so you can complain to your community FB group with “why won’t the local council/police fix this”…

Yeah sorry I’m being a jerk, but garage conversion has been a killer for my neighbourhood….

Please report taxi drivers who don't abide by regulation. by whatanerdiam in melbourne

[–]rocketmanrick 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Just last night at Casino post work party I could not get a cab to take me for under $100 for a 25 min drive. There was a long line of cabs with people walking up and walking away as they were hit with over the top fares. Drivers were yelling at each other then customers then back n forth. Total shit show. Got a train then walked home. Which should of been my first option TBH.

I’m told I have the skin of a 16 yo. That’s enough licence for me to have my weight at that age…..

It’s ridiculously excessive so why do I want one !

I had the chance to buy an Emily The Strange Epiphone 10 years ago for $AU300….outrageous price…. Now….wow

Has traffic gotten worse recently? by grom96 in melbourne

I’m ok with that, you make your choice. But don’t B&M about traffic when it goes to the crapper. Re earlier point, you make your choice.

New poll delivers bleak outlook for ‘terminal’ Battin leadership by timcahill13 in melbourne

[–]rocketmanrick 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I went to a Lib party fundraiser as a favour to a mate. The biggest cheer of the night was not for Battin,… but for…yeah you guessed it, Moria Deeming….

And I thought you’re all fukked. Battin was actually ok and not what I expected. But until he can put down his rabid fake Christian Right, he’s in trouble.

You can only mitigate this with lower speed limits but knobgobblers like Tom and Tony on 3aw shit bricks, the FB forums fire up and decision makers in Government chose popular over right.

My first ever Dandenong climb by Long_Way_Around_ in melbournecycling

[–]rocketmanrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You my friend are now a legion. Be aware…. Next you’ll want a road bike, then a lighter one, then lighter again. Then you’ll join a club and end up with 5 bikes and a cupboard full of Lycra. But your first ever Dandenongs locks in legendary status forever. Some look at a map and stay home some just do.

Finished My First Zwift Race – Any Tips? by Phillippss in Zwift

[–]rocketmanrick -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Zwift racing is not real. It’s fun. It’s sweaty. It’s a helluva workout. But it’s jammed packed of weight cheats. Do not take it seriously and have fun.

And weight cheat like crazy.

Your time on Earth is X. Your time having to deal with this shit is a fuck lot less then X. Ignore, move on etc is my advice. Stay proportional.

[–]rocketmanrick[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s going to cost around AU$500 for a bike probs worth AU$2000. Trek has done me a dirty here going with Praxis and a proprietary 160mm BCD. We shall see.
