Why is the following acceptable?



But the following is not acceptable (hence the censorship)?

Really...??? 8.18m2 of land for sale??? They could have bumped it up to 8.2 to make it sound bigger haaaa.

I wonder, this 'block' (strip???) of land will have rates I assume as well. "DA approval for a 2 person tent and pushbike space, plans available in office..." LOL

There is another similar strip going in Cabramatta that's 48m2...

I guess the only people that will turn up to the auctions are the ones that own the backyards this is attached to....

Why is it......
Why is it that Christmas decorations are often up around my birthday? (My birthday is the start of October) It really ****** me off. Nothing should be out until December.

Why is it that young P platers now are driving brand new cars with subs and rims and the works, when im certain most of them are on bloody centrelink payments?

And my final one, for now.......
Why is it that everything i buy, im paying more for and getting less of?

It's their insecurities and lack of ability to deal with them.

Usually Daddy issues, or they have a rescue fantasy...taming the beast etc. What they end up doing is turning the guy into something they were never attracted to in the first place.

For the same reason that the cheese that sticks to the burger packaging tastes better than the cheese in the burger.

They take the cord to strip and remove the copper.
The same thing had me curious so I asked a guy who was doing it.

Not to mention old 1+2 cent coins. Used to have a large money tin full. Worth a lot more than what the bank gave, I've heard.

Used to use them to fill holes in copper brass radiators, from oil coolers and the like. Ran out a few years ago.. never placed any value on them hahaha

1-2c coins are worth far more than just the face value.

"According to rare coin dealer Andrew Crellin, the value of these two cent coins have been steadily increasing in value. “Several coins that have been independently graded as being among the finest known examples have recently made prices in excess of several thousand dollars on a leading online auction site,” he says."

apparently worth more to collectors than what they are worth in copper scrap.

Why is it that people seem to think its a great idea to park their car under a tree?

I have a workmate who parks her car under a large gum tree in hot weather, presumably to try and keep the cabin cool.

But, in my mind, this leaves the paintwork vulnerable to bird droppings or any debris that may fall from canopy during windy weather. These trees are also known to drop limbs.

Is this just me who wonders this?

Why is it that people pull up to the pump at the servo, don't get fuel, & walk in past 3 empty parking bays?

Why is it you eat something that is so good that you want a second one, and the second is nowhere near as good?

Why is it that there is chips in my bag of air that I purchase?
