Joke Of The Day
Sorry about the length, but I got this at work today and thought I best share it. Mental note - don't mention number 39 to your female collegues at "that" time of the month, it doesn't go down very well at all suprisingly! Trent. - Things You'd Love to Say Out Loud at Work THINGS YOU'D LOVE TO SAY OUT LOUD AT WORK.... 1. I can see your point, but I still think you're full of sh*t . 2. I don't know what your problem is, but I'll bet it's hard to pronounce. 3. How about never? Is never good for you? 4. I see you've set aside this special time to humiliate yourself in public. 5. I'm really easy to get along with once you people learn to see it my way. 6. I'll try being nicer if you'll try being smarter. 7. I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message. 8. I don't work here. I'm a consultant. 9. It sounds like English, but I can't understand a damn word you're saying. 10. Ahhh...I see the screw-up fairy has visited us again... 11. I like you. You remind me of myself when I was young and stupid. 12. You are validating my inherent mistrust of strangers. 13. I have plenty of talent and vision; I just don't give a damn. 14. I'm already visualizing the duct tape over your mouth. 15. I will always cherish the initial misconceptions I had about you. 16. Thank you. We're all refreshed and challenged by your unique point of view. 17. The fact that no one understands you doesn't mean you're an artist. 18. Any connection between your reality and mine is purely coincidental. 19. What am I? Flypaper for freaks! 20. I'm not being rude. You're just insignificant. 21. It's a thankless job, but I've got a lot of Karma to burn off. 22. Yes, I am an agent of Satan, but my duties are largely ceremonial. 23. And your crybaby whiny-assed opinion would be...? 24. Do I look like a people person? 25. This isn't an office. It's Hell with fluorescent lighting. 26. I started out with nothing &still have most of it left. 27. Sarcasm is just one more service we offer. 28. If I throw a stick, will you leave? 29. Errors have been made. Others will be blamed. 30. Whatever kind of look you were going for, you missed. 31. I'm trying to imagine you with a personality. 32. A cubicle is just a padded cell without a door. 33. Can I trade this job for what's behind door #1? 34. Too many freaks, not enough circuses. 35. Nice perfume. Must you marinate in it? 36. Chaos, panic, & disorder - my work here is done. 37. How do I set a laser printer to stun? 38. I thought I wanted a career; turns out I just wanted a salary. 39. Who lit the fuse on your tampon? 40. Oh I get it... like humor... but different.

What do you think looks better.
*** stupid comment approaching *** Don't forget that the sports bar would be a good idea if you are planning on rolling your ute! That was actually suggested to me the other day. Trent.

car tint
NO..... You can't be doing that, I will miss those annoying talkback segments in the back of the taxi while I am praying that the phsycopath driver will get me to my destination safely. But yeh, otherwise I wouldn't even notice! Trent.

DIFF CLUNK - Combined Approach
Sorry Glenn, I will stand up proud and say it - "buy a turbo, I love mine" Regardless of the gripes, I don't regret buying the T - but that still doesn't make it right. Trent.

DIFF CLUNK - Combined Approach
I am part of the "whiner" club with only 5k on the clock and the first replacement on order. Even if I wasn't experiencing any problems with my T, I would still be supportive of any actions that would benifit all ford drivers in general. It appears that is not the actual problem that is getting everyone agro, as we can accept that nothing is perfect, but just how ford deals with it that leaves the affected owners in a major state of frustration. The issue reaches much wider than whining and clunking diffs, it is the whole "that's normal" approach that really gives out the aingst. For example I had the dealer inspect a noisy ventalation fan at my last service - it sounds like there is a cricket in there - but the response was that it was within spec. Short of jumping up and down in the hope that the dealer will get sick of your constant whinging and harrassment and actualy fix the problem, there apears nothing else to do other than fix the issue out of your own pocket. Even though it is a fantastic car to own it still leaves a bad taste in your mouth. Unfortunately there are several car makers in the industry that have the same approach as Ford, and it seems that the only way around this culture is through public humiliation. It goes against my grain to participate in such actions as they are great cars, but I feel that enough is enough, and now maybe the time to make them sit up and listen to their customers for once. Trent.

Bloody MacDonald's
Yeh, give it a shot. Maccas will do anything to prevent getting a bad image - its bad enough that they sell tasteless crap, so they wouldn't want to piss anyone off. Trent.

Have you crashed your T?
I know it's not appropriate for a grown man to cry, but did you? I guarantee I would. Could have been worse I suppose, my cousin's wife did the same thing in their car except that there was a RACQ truck behind her and the sedan ended up looking like a mini. The ironic part though was that the tow truck ended up carting their car away! Trent.

What an earth was that from, I'm guessing either a cow or a mother in law. Trent.

Forum Screen Resolution
Here here, more noticeable on a widescreen laptop as I'm guessing your screen shots are from goose. Not a major issue, but it would be a good enhancement to an otherwise fantastic forum!

Have you crashed your T?
At least you can sleep well knowing that the wheels and tyres are of OK quality on the falcons, in almost every picture the tyres were still inflated! Trent.

Advice needed from the Police chaps here
Freaky coincidence - just watching the news, kid attacked by a bull mastif on the Gold Coast I think it was. Who in their right minds would keep dogs like these anyway? Trent.

A dinosaur on full life support
Aren't we there already? What sh*ts me, as mentioned before, I too have worked extremely hard to set myself up in life and it wasn't to long ago that I was earning well under minimum wage (I.e. 1st year apprentice) and living 600km from my parents. You see these so called minimum wage earners having a b**ch and moan on tv about not being able to afford to live, yeh it may be tough, but get of your buttocks and do something about it. I despise our income tax system, the harder you work and the more you earn the more you are funding some no-hoping, drug-smoking, wife-bashing, car-stealing piece of sh*t to do what they enjoy. I realise there are quite a few genuine people on welfare that can't get jobs for legit reasons, but these seem few and far between. Anyway, speaking of work - best get back to it! Trent.

Any trouble gettiing insurance?
They stuffed up last time and gave me insurance on an XR6 when they shouldn't have, and because I have been a good boy they let me swap over to a T - otherwise I would have been out of luck and with Just or Shannons etc. Trent.
-
Any trouble gettiing insurance?
AAMI - yes well. When I changed my policy over to the new T I realised that they had the wrong rego number and model of my previous vehicle, and then they forgot to include the endorsements on the new policy (very concerning as I am under 25). I will not even get into all the dramas with getting a certificate of currency! All is well though, and they are pretty good in sorting out claims with their valet service and all. Trent.

BRISBANE CRIUSE
Never mind Scotty, you didn't miss out on much as the cruise was absolute rubbish....NOT! A word of warning though, prepare for the onslaught when all of todays participants get back to their PC's - your name is mud. Thanks again to all involved in organising the cruise today - was nothing short of fantastic! Trent. PS: did anyone see the xf in the ditch on the bruce highway near caboolture, he must have thought that the radiator would look much better in the passenger seat!

Look at it from a GF's point of view: " I like the turbo more because it is smiling, the GT always has a frown on its face!" Trent.

BRISBANE CRIUSE
All we have to do is turn up then - the fact that it is being held in the mother state is more than enough to out do those mexicans south of the border! *retreats into hiding* Trent.
