  1. What l . No power-band . I won't miss it . spacesailor
  2. I got lost in the " Birmingham Bullring " , and that's no bull !. ( 1963 ish ) . Just couldn't find that left turn , without a no exit sign . When all the traffic had come to a halt the police directed us 'lost ' drivers out a " no exit road " Going against the sign . spacesailor
  3. I agree , the Amber I thought, to give me three seconds only stayed on for two seconds . With the two seconds of green , I should have floored it , and risk loosing control Dawdled I did ! , thinking I had a second up my sleeve. not happy Jan !. spacesailor
  4. The wording is not for my interpretation , It is , as written. " any vehicle in the roundabout " . I checked it , again , then again . spacesailor
  5. Then that law needs change . No good, a law that makes people criminal should be changed . octave , I was stopped at the intersection, on a green light, ( congestion ahead ) I started off , then the light changed Amber , no rush , it's usually three seconds before the red , so didn't accelerate. I was almost over the line , when it turned red . half a bloody second to catch my rear end with my back-wheels over that line , just the quater panel in the red zone , any vehicle could pass behind me . Bloody revenueing again . spacesailor
  6. To answer that !. I safely, but slowly crossed a traffic light intersection on the green . The light changed and I was fined $ 500 for my one half second on the red . we are obliged by law ! , to obey , to the letter of the law . Can I , change that . spacesailor
  7. Give way! To stop & wait untill clear, to proceed . And your definition is ?. spacesailor PS. : to egress my road was " make a mad dash " between speeding vehicles . Not safe at any speed . MY neighbour was hit while crossing Fitzwilliam road on The pedestrian crossing . Othere have been killed there , ( plural ).
  8. The law ( road rules ) states " any vehicle " no matter where in the roundabout has president. give way . You could cop a fine ( revenueing ) . spacesailor
  9. My ' dumb ' meter ' tells me the cost ! I just ' note ' the " analogue " reading then deduct that from the final reading , multiply by forty cents That will be ( with the stat cost ) my bill . If I get it all correct. LoL spacesailor
  10. My daughter had to have a " smart meter " , & the cost went through the roof for " equipment " . My house is 50 years old !. yet I still pay for that meter . Perhaps it wasn't enough to pay it off . spacesailor
  11. That makes sence , if you enter the roundabout you must not crash into the vehicle in front of you, spacesailor
  12. Only the green count. I could say " I'm getting solar plus a big battery " One day . spacesailor
  13. but " Give way to all vehicles: You must give way to all vehicles already in the roundabout, regardless of whether they are on your right, left, or directly opposite you. " Official wording . anyone in the roundabout , even without a right turn indicator, you give way untill it's empty . must try it one day , when I have return to my house , once around the Island should do it . LoL spacesailor
  14. stupidest law , that stops a vehicle turning left at a roundabout ! , . if vehicle has entered from your left . And no traffic on your right . Am I missing some logic here . spacesailor
  15. " beaurocracy ". we have ,(almost) a nice new ' roundabout ' at the end of our road !. the outcry of bad design is drowning out our applause for the speed of construction and efficiency, by those that are NOT trapped in this road . who's to blame ! . the ' road hogs ' who won't give an inch , to let others get in front of them . N ow , they have to slowdown . Whether they Iike it or. NOT. spacesailor PS. : But , who agrees with " give-way to any vehicle in the roundabout "
  16. That's well over my head , as a new Australian. spacesailor
  17. The new food ' Australian grenouille ' . made from our toad epidemic. they say it's only the skin thats poisonous. But I'm not going to test that theory ! . spacesailor
  18. oil ! . too precious to burn . Untill we can ' harness ' & use the carbon.. The we wIll burn everything to get the carbon, spacesailor
  19. I can't believe I ate the whole ? . What s that last ' hieroglyphic ' . spacesailor
  20. Today Hitler ! Oops , Trump and his Nazsty troops , are persucuting immigrants, who for whatever reason did not fill in their " Bureaucratic multicopy forms " , in a language not their first language. spacesailor
  21. Coffers, now comes in ' tea ' like jiggler bags . And our Asian neighbours have their own tea plantation. In their " old country " . I drink too much 'tea ' & not enough water, since they contaminated it with an unnecessary poison. spacesailor
  22. The species we have stopped eating, are now a danger to humanity . So eat more snake / shark / roo and dog . Cats taste like chicken, so leave nothing off the menus ! , except Escargot . spacesailor
  23. Blame the French " metre " . Similar to " Petre " , not saltpeter . spacesailor
  24. The ' header unit' driver's on " sugar cane " harvesting get huge wages .. Well over double the " chaser " driver gets . A friend of ours , was handed his ' paypacket , whilst working on. The ' chased ' which fell into the hold , SO , he emptied the lot of cane out to get his wages. Instant dismissal!. spacesailor
  25. The US of A is going going explode another nuclear device!. How many cubic metres of air will it consume. wIll it lower the protective atmosphere dome ! . will we get more solar radiation, that may ' scorch ' our Earth , ( not Trump's ) . spacesailor
