Had multiple major cuts and 1 digit reattached and been stabbed in the chest before. I think the better term is a sharp pain. Proper injuries dont hurt straight up. The adrenaline your body pumps at the time sorts that. When that adreniline wears off, yeah, then it hurts. So if its major, it takes a few minutes to realy hurt. Sharp pains to me are like the times a few years back my chest would hurt bad and my heart would beat really fast then stop for 20 seconds, then go slow for a minute then get back up to speed. Never got that looked at, probably should have, but it hasnt happened in years.

Wait a second. You can dual purpose that. Swap the nozzel over, refill the more convenient small one without losing a drop, then cap the big unit and re nozzel the small one. Thats cheapskate as ****, but sounds like a good plan, ill probably stick to just buying regular size sauce bottles. My bogan tip is wrap wet paper towel around a warm beer and with the increased surface area, 15 minutes in the freezer is all it takes to cool that sweet sweet booze down to a cold beer.

Why is it not acceptable to call a woman a 'chairman' but there are female 'project managers' in many industries?

Is that shop in Adelaide still going? He had some proper gear.

Also try the hot version of “zhug” - it’s a Middle Eastern chilli condiment.

Why is it that students are taking a day off school to protest about something they will have little to no impact over, when they should be protesting about their chances of affordable and available education (tertiary) that could directly affect their futures?

Why is it that you put your car in for a minor service and end up with 4 new tyres.

Then they have to rip out your security system because the car wouldn't start and had to push it back to the shop for another $250 odd.

Total bill $1600 + another $2500 I spent earlier this year for 100k service

The upside is so long as the clutch and gearbox holds up with ****ed 4th and 5th synchros I should be able to get 300k kms out of a stock WRX motor and gearbox.

Currently at 213k. I'm gonna keep flogging it. I'm determined to drive it into the ground

Because one dealership is ripping you off more than the other dealer is.

**** I hate that! My car had only done 30,000km from new and the dealer claimed my tyres were gone when it was getting the 30,000km service. Get ****ed. Besides the outside edges of the front tyres being a bit worn all four tyres were legal as the thread depth indicator showed they were above minimum. The dealer would not do the balance, rotate and front end alignment I asked for because they wanted to sting me for new tyres.
