I can vouch for that, people are shit drivers
and yeah, offensive/defensive driving skills are definitely a must have skill

I actually Dont enjoy riding motorbikes much, anymoreā¦
Purely because of the endless trafficā¦
ANYWHERE in and around brisbaneā¦its chockas with idiots in cars everywhereā¦
Gotta ride so defensively, so carefullyā¦ and even if you wanted to give it a burst, you really cant, as gridlock hems you in.
Cops live on mt glorious / any decent riding place.
Which is why my Ducati 1098, only has 5500kms on itā¦
You just cant use it anywhereā¦and the rear view mirrors are so crap, they may as well not existā¦
You need to head a couple of hours out west, yo wide open roads, to have some funā¦

I gave up road riding some years ago. Shame really as I had some top flowing rides on my routes. Trouble was all the dickheads trying to kill me. So made the call f this and now only ride on my own private property off road and partly for work now too which is a fun job 
Everybody seems to be in a hurry going nowhere, or backwards or misses a gear and on and onā¦ Doesenāt surprise me either with some of the private training facilities.
I bumped in to one such training facility in the last couple years, they are not accredited and are normal drivers. They failed me and took my $1600 all because they could see I was ok and slammed me through a 2 day 4hr course that should be minimum 20hr course. Then got an actual accreditor in my last half an hour of the 4 to test. Failed of course.
I reported them to the gov but I see they are still in operation today. Just regular drivers, not trainers. All mine did was sit there and play on her phone 
The roads around me are really good bike roads.
Pretty much know all the back roads around here like the back of my hand. Not the best on the weekends, lottsa bikes and cars.
Luckily, mid week is always an option for me if I want it. 
Nearly got the back of the WRX ripped off backing out of a medical centre carpark last night.
Backing out blind and very slowly because of the tradie ute on my left side, all I caught was a silver flash as a twin cab shot past the back of me doing more than 60 clicks. Inches in it.
He was using the carpark as a road to access the street at the other end.
Wonāt mention all the old people with zimmer frames coming out of the medical centre he scared the living shit out of.
Hope they got the cockhead on security camera.
Me too, I might work for 3 months straight on my own stuff 7 days a week. Ah about time I chucked myself a sicky on a Tuesday Then you get FuckallFriday thrown in the mix

I should find and watch starship troopers again.
Did the vinyl plank feature walls, at my clayfield unit today.
The tan painted feature walls, always showed the cracksā¦
Fill, sand , paintā¦waitā¦crack againā¦grrrrā¦!!
At least now, these tiles will cover it all upā¦
BEFORE:
And, AFTER:
Came up very nicely, glad i did it.
Covers up most of the cracks.
Pretty strong glue smell, for the next 24 hrsā¦
A inexpensive way, to tart up some bedrooms.
Iām surprised more people donāt go for itā¦
Its pretty cheap, and very durableā¦

Yupā¦
Contact glue, on the walls, and the back of the tilesā¦
Pretty smelly, first 24 hrs, then fineā¦
I was thinking VJ timber panels, but itās more expensive, you need to paint it, itās much heavier, and the wall has some movementā¦.
Mind you, I could have painted it brown Bess, and had the colour change room!!!
Hang the PR on the wall, and you wonāt see itā¦!!
Vinyl floor tiles are cheaper, lighter, no paint reqdā¦and easier to reglue a tile , should it ever come loose. Commercial properties dress up wallls like this, but not so much residentialā¦
WTF wrong with that dungeon, or you still getting @Deadsquid jizz off the walls
At least I helped the Doctor get his shed built yesterday. 
If i had deadsquid jizz all over the wallsā¦
I would be calling a demolition crew, a fire permit, a priest, an exorcistā¦then after all that purificationā¦ rebuild and sell the place ā¦!!
Vinyl planking, aint gonna save it, from all thatā¦!!
It will however, save it from the constant crack lines appearing (not that sort!!)
All buildings in clayfield get themā¦ the soil dries and shrinksā¦then gets wet and expandsā¦ all buildings have multiple, large crack lines that reappear regularly.
Paint it, and it just cracks againā¦
This will be a permanent solution, to cover the cracks, and tart the place upā¦
With the prices 3br units go for in clayfield nowadays, it doesnt hurt to spend a little, sprucing them upā¦
you werenāt getting a ācontactā high were you?
If you mean throbbing headache, and feeling sick, with sensitive sinusesā¦
then yes.
it was early to bed last night.
Then again, i had a bad reaction to ketamine, so i made sure they didnāt use it on me this timeā¦
close up, of the wall cracksā¦obvious when closerā¦
Doing some much needed garage upgrades this week, along with putting together another desk for the kids and some shelves in the office.
Plenty more work to do
Look at that clean garageā¦ 
Mine used to look like thatā¦ now it looks like the Gaza strip. 
Oh I thought you meant a different strip.
