Air Canada is probably my worst experience of an airline at least with regards to every aspect of service, I've vowed to never fly them again, few other guys at work agree. Planes are ok though. Scariest flight was in a MD-11 with VARIG (A Brazilian Airline... very nice hostesses... I like...) over the Andes in *severe* turbulence, the plane looked less than well maintained and they went bankrupt a couple of weeks later. Didn't help that I watched "Alive" a few nights earlier, and while waiting at the airport a guy was telling me how they were in financial trouble and had been having a lot of issues with maintenance. Think they're still operating under the same name but with a different core ownership. QANTAS has been a bit craptacular of late with service. Singapore Airlines are always good. Continental Airways are no frills but no bad experiences. Only ever heard good things of Emirates, I'm keen to fly them sometime. LAN Chile are so-so.

Maybe you could give the ACCC a call for some advice first on how to broach the subject with the dealer, and give you an idea of your rights under the Trade Practices Act. http://www.accc.gov.au/content/index.phtml/itemId/815361

It's kind of like sending someone an email to say you just replied to their last email isn't it.

I like how he went to bed while everyone else stayed up till 5am to vote on the $42b money waster. Poor diddums needed his sleep did he. Really shows his commitment to the cause doesn't it.

From what I've read, the Roadster can do 393km on a single charge. The batteries are also capable of storing 53kWhrs of charge. Making an assumption, this gives 53kWhrs per 393km. This got me curious so I did some very crude calculations from a bit of research: Generally speaking, burning 1kg of coal to generate electricity produces approx 2kWh, so 26kg coal is needed to produce the required 53kWhrs. Burning 1kg of coal produces 1.83 kg of CO2 (This is actually variable and depends on the amount of carbon present in the coal). To get 393km out of a car that does 13L/100km, you need 51L of petrol. Burning 1L of petrol produces around 2.2kg of CO2 (Depending on octane etc). So to cover the same distance, the electric car generates around 48kg of carbon dioxide, and your falcon generates 112kg. So while all the hippies go and masturbate over how electric cars are so good for the environment etc they're not fantastic, especially once you consider environmental impact of producing (and disposing of) the nasty evil Lithium Ion cells. I know I didn't take into consideration the CO2 impact of refining the oil into petrol, but when you consider only about 40% of crude oil is made into petrol with the other 60% used for other fuels/hydrocarbons/plastics etc I guess you could offset that by 40% to be fair, and mining of coal is not exactly a clean process either. Your average dragline will use about as much electricity as a small town will.

Ahh the age old 4490 vs 4495 debate. For what it's worth I think Doogstar (he can correct me if I'm wrong) was running with 4495s when he ran his 13.75s 1/4 mile. Personally I'd prefer 4490s for the lower down gains for day to day driving on the street.

If all you're using iTunes for is to add songs to your iPod, one way to fix it is to uninstall it and install a free program like EphPod instead, that way you can download songs off your iPod as well, not just upload to it.

I do love Little Creatures Pale Ale but have found it can be a bit hit and miss. Sometimes its super cala freakin awesome, other times can be pretty average, at least by the time it makes it here to Brissy. Bright Ale seems more consistent and is probably easier to drink for longer sessions. I'm +1 for (well brewed) home brew, not that mine is fantastic. I think it still has a pretty dodgy reputation going back to the rocket fuel days with the kit and kilo of sugar, but it's come a long way. Especially all-grain brewing with decent yeast etc. Not hard to brew your own that tastes better than the typical commercial beers, plus no hangover!!

Yeah for me its fun to pretend that the real Stig is Mr Bean, given the way he used to handle that mini

For BA/BF the Pacemaker Competitions headers are 4495, they are good for gains higher in the rev range, the 4490s are better for lower end gains

If you have masses of stuff or a decent area to burn, I'd say check with the local fire services/fire warden. You might need to get a fire permit or something. If it's just a smallish pile of crap, maybe it would just accidentally and spontaneously catch on fire?

Might be a repost...

XP!!! Tomato or BBQ (sauce)?

Ahhh... memories. That thing spawned a million parodies back then, this was my favourite: The new one is all rather deep and meaningful now though.

Yeah the way I see it a burner will work much the same as a rapid knockdown type weed killer like paraquat/gromoxone based ones. Within a day they'll be all nice and brown and dead looking, but after a while they'll probably grow back as the roots haven't been completely nuked. For something longer lasting go for glyphosate (most commonly known brand label is round-up). Might take a week to kill the weeds but it will kill it good and proper. Save 50% and get any generic Glyphosate 360/480 etc product, its exactly the same active constituency as the brand named Round-up.

Yeah my mate used to have a big gas burner setup for a tractor for weed killing on their farm. Seemed to do the trick pretty well. We used to just use roundup or basta etc.

Ugh....wrong. Partly at least... works fine on a BA, but on a BF (as per the OP) there is a 2nd O2 sensor, hence the warning light, hence inevitable limp home mode. Hmmm.

They usually have the butt-cheeks cut out of their leather pants too

For the record, its Labor not Labour. I don't get how people voted Labor for their policies, when they copied most of them from Johnny anyway. I think people who donkey vote automatically lose their right to complain about any government or any tax or any law etc, because they had their change to make their opinion count but threw it away because they couldn't be stuffed putting any thought into it, even just to chose the lesser of the 2 evils. The other thing that irks me is people who voted that way just because they "thought they could do with a change". Fair enough change is sometimes necessary to stop getting stale thinking and blase attitudes, but if that's the only reason and the only thought you put into it, well you're not too bright. Sometimes I reckon, and particularly did in this case, better the devil you know than the devil you don't.

There used to be an excel getting around with "When I grow up I want to be a V8 Supercar" on the back window. And I've seen "Save a whale, harpoon a fat chick"
