Too far for that, 10 or 12k, my local has 91 for $1.69 and in mango hills $1.43, which is why I pounced on the 'bargin'.
But as I said later in the 'happy' thread when I turned up with the card, the woman there let me off with the admin fee.

Drivers (usually women) who don't move fully over to the right when turning right out of a junction, meaning there is no room to turn left, and you miss your chance to get out.

Definitely agree with this. Just because someone is an ex servicemen then think they deserve the same treatment as combat veterans. Know lads that have served in the Navy and basically got paid to sail around the world and get drunk complain that they aren’t being treated as they should be in civilian life.
HR at work have serious reservations about hiring those just out the army, by and large they are great if you babysit them, but useless left to their own devices.

Human Beings !
This is probably gonna be a bit heavy for here, but needed to get it off my chest and I don't want to go on a Twitter rant (like I did against Ped from Toffee TV on Friday...)
This.
Virtue signalling toss-pots like this fella.
Look, I'm not saying everyone has to agree or love the armed forces. I get that it's a decisive subject.
But what I won't tolerate is people slating them. I'm not from a 'forces family', but my cousin served two tours in Iraq from 2003 to 2005. He was 18 when he went over, and was stationed in Basra for that time at that time. His third tour would have been to Afghanistan and I'm glad he dropped out when he did - he'd got it out of his system.
He's not a violent person. Not an angry person. I don't know if he had any sense of real national pride. He'd just always wanted to do it from when he was young. He had his mind set on it.
He doesn't talk about it much. I only found out a few years ago that his best mate in the platoon/squad/whatever they call it, killed himself while they were there. My cousin found him, at 19. He's come out of it and now runs his own contract firm (for the past 10 years that has nothing to do with arms/security etc, and has made a very very decent living for himself by the age of 33.
So I hope to God that one day, this tit has a member of his family who wants to join the armed forces, and then let's see if he's slagging them off (read the comments for his views on 'soldiers all have a choice' and then how he just dismisses (horridly misusing a Partridge gif in the process) someone who has a son currently serving as a peacekeeper in Kenya).
Weirdly enough, his next tweet up is a video of a woman being executed in cold blood in the middle east due to adultery. So does he not want armed forces that - in my opinion - should be used to help stop this? The fact that they aren't, isn't their fault. The issue is the governments, the corrupt officials and the dodgy deals.
The fact that there are mass executions going on in Syria and the Middle East is horrible, but if they were given the orders our armed forces would be there to try and stop it. It's not their fault that they aren't, even though it's our fault (as 'the West') that stuff like this happens in the first place.
EDIT: I've just seen that there's been some chat about ex servicemen. I won't get into it. I see both sides of the argument but in my opinion they should be paid more for putting their lives at risk. Yes, it's a choice to do it, but that doesn't mean they should be slagged off for it. I don't get why it's 'cool' to slate soldiers.
I don't really feel like I connect politically with a lot of people my age (i'm no Tory, I'm just not a molly-coddled student who's stupid enough to think that the world's a nice place - it isn't), even though I'm all for freedom of choice/movement/anything, as long as it's not harming others. People just follow the crowd now, with anything. It's more important to be right on Twitter than have an opinion. It's friggin' horrible.

my general opinion of soldiers is fair play, you risk your life to defend our country/fight our wars, I couldn't/wouldn't want to do it...but you choose to do it for whatever reason so Im not going to go overboard with the gratitude
I'm not going overboard with the gratitude, but I am grateful they do it. Because if we didn't have willing volunteers, then we'd surely have to do with national service coming back? They'd have to get the numbers somehow.
But yes, it is their choice.
I'm not talking about that though. You don't have to go overboard on gratitude, you just don't have to be a tit like that guy and slate them.

Was he slating the soldiers though? Or was he slating the use they're put to by the lizards who make the decisions?
