(better than me anyway) and i earn good coin, i have a house, and a healthy disregard for others less fortunate....perhaps im a bad person

....i think i will leave the voting for those that care
Im of the opinion we make our own fortune/misfortune not the politicians or anyone else

I agree R1A, gives everyone something to moan about, I just glad I've got a bike for work now instead of my 2T Subbie.

Anyone want to buy a Subaru.

So much for 'don't fill up day', another 3 cents per litre rise.
The excuse this time is to maintain profit margins and due to "demand".
Now, I'm an economic illiterate, but I thought that if crude prices were falling, demand is slowing.
And the profit margin reason is a goody, the oil companies own 80% of the refinery, they adjust margins between there and the pump as they wish.
This is happening against a background of a rising dollar and falling crude prices.
Aust has just had their first rise - 10c per litre. But real competition means that you can buy fuel for between $1.25 and $1.39 in NSW.
I'm going to start asking for a kiss when I fill up.
I liked to be kissed when I'm being fucked.
