How dumb is the young cop? If he/she is indicative of the stupidity in the police force, we're stuffed.

:shock: How can it be acceptable to move anywhere in the country without quarantine at the point of arrival?

I grew up in NSW, country cops were great but Sydney not so much and standards have slipped.

Needless to say young person joined the Police force up there because they were unlikely to discover a cure for cancer.

The piece of battered flake I received from the local fish and chip shop.

Half of it was as thick as a chicken breast and coupled with it's dryness it was like chewing on an old leather boot.

Needless to say I didn't eat it all and it'll be a long while till I'm in the mood for some flake again.

Worst ever. Yuk.

I was looking at this website for bicycles as they are close to me and I'd seen a couple of riders riding them. I wanted to know more:

https://factorbikes.com

Their cheapest road bicycle is about $10,100 :shock: WTF?

No chance. You could buy a very decent 2nd hand car for that.

I think one of these should be more your style and price range.

I had one as my first bike when I was 6. It was orange and had 3 gears with a T-bar gear shift on the frame. Lasted me all through primary school and later did my uncles 3 kids.

We only had 2nd bikes growing up.

A brand new dragster was a dream bike.
