Highway Patrol TV 1

[Grumph]

To be a bit realistic, a lot of the customers on the show look to be beneficiaries and the benefit probably doesn't cover many hours in a workshop at current rates?

If I couldn't do most of my own servicing, I doubt I could run a car. And that's on the pension which is a bit more than the benefit...

And then there's the gouging bloody WOF specialists whose job appears to be to generate work for their own workshops....

I got held hostage by some re-runs over the Christmas season once. These days we have more options. One of those programmes showed a guy who had been caught in a shit box with no warrant or rego. (Of course - if there isn't a warrant there can't be rego.) after the transaction was completed the driver spoke to the camera as he walked away saying something like, I chose the wrong road home. No, that's not the problem, the problem was lack of a warrant.

Stardust will sort all that out, Labour voters who expect other people to sort out their problems ( sweeping generalisation but hey I'm channeling the soon to be unemployed TV presenter Mike Hoskings)

Really ??? I thought you might have out grown that stage

Some things are awesome no matter how old you are

Few things in life are better than Dragons and Tits.

Dragons with Tits!

that might be true, but the point about broadcast TV remains.

Four words:
Rural
Broadband

Arse

And going by the rep received since posting earlier it seems that the overwhelming consensus is that Mike GAYner is a douche.

I see we're on the list to get highspeed broadband out here - a simple cellphone signal would be nice and should be a higher priority....

Can't you get "high speed wireless" broad band and land line where you are? - or have you been down that road already?

cellphone signal depends on which way the wind is blowing here, literally! And when EA networks plumbed the power under ground here they put in fibre cable at the same time to each house and now all the internet providers deny that it's there

That's partly correct. It's high speed compared to the postal service.

There was one plonker that had a POS van on SH1 that had not been legal for 10 years and the driver had no licence.

and therein lies the problem for those who flout the system I suppose

But then you'd probably find every whiny, sniffly little finger-pointing twit would be screeching from their soapbox about police brutality... and "life's not fair!"

Akzle was on TV and I missed it? Bugger

Yes but it was the Purina Sheep Dog Trials on Duke not the Cop show in question.

True! - When I think it's slow it sure must be but it got me computer/phone access without any need for digging or wiring at a difficult time so OK by me.

It's not cheap though.

When we moved here my partner stopped playing internet games. She downloads movies to her iPad as streaming is no good here even on a good day. My company pays for our rural broadband so I don't complain much, I can still give people shit on the internet so I'm happy.

[Akzle]

fuck yeah! enforce obedience! blind conformity! no citizen should ever infringe legislation!

dragon tits!

We're in a dead spot for cellphone and internet signal. Satellite is an option - but on the pension ?

When the local school had fibre optic laid to it as part of the "get schools on line" thing, cable was laid past our gate.
The foreman of the gang laying it was the mad pom (see sidecar record attempt...)
Despite my best efforts at coercion and bribery, I couldn't get a buckshee connection done....
