Vic Wasteland Thread

[Birds]

If Judge Judy has taught me anything, its that stupid people somemtimes do stupid things with some kind of backstory.

Cousins aunties step-brothers mothers dog probably borrowed money a while back, or stepped on someones shoe or called someone a slag.

Anyway point is, if there was some sort of personal involvement or the victim recognised them from kindergarten or if it was some sort of vigilantism (sp) the news/police report isnt going to mention it.

Forced break-in of elderly lady? sure, probably pretty straight forward.

Man stabbed in a supposed mugging and the muggers not taking anything and then being caught within 24 hours? theres probably more to this.

This is a good point...

When a relative of mine was jailed, I couldn't believe how many media reports came out spruiking absolute bullshit - facts and statistics wrong; writing only one side of the story; changing words around to suit; misquoting etc. Completely lost faith in the mainstream media at that point. Focus seems to be on getting the story out there and grabbing attention rather than telling it how it is. Sensationalism defined.

Can do, are you gonna be running an aftermarket oil cooler though? If you are it might pay to delete the factory heat exchanger while the engine is out. NA heater hoses clean it up a lot under the plenum and gets rid of a heap of potential leak points.

So I see, no aftermarket oil cooler yet unfortunately

Where did you get that pic from? One of your jobs? Looks very less cluttered than my stock one

Tis my engine.

when we had a shooting near the club, the herald sun ran a FRONT PAGE article saying the shooting happened inside Hard Kandy. They included our name, logo, a photo of people on the dancefloor and a floor plan of the clubthat was complete with little stars showing where shots were fired and where the fight broke out.

the shooting was unrelated to HK and actually happened at the exford which is on the other side of the road and has nothing to du with HK. It also happened over 30 minutes after we kicked the group out of our club for being overly drunk and abusive.

still the herald sun just made up a headline grabbing story and there was nothing we could do as once the paper was run, the damage was done.

we contacted our lawyers (a HUGE international firm) and were told that there is no point pursuing it as the herald sun make a habit of doing this and has the means and finances to defend the issue for a lot longer than we do

cliffs notes: herald sun has no integrity and I would like release a pack of ebola monkeys into the building and lock the doors / windows

All of them have no integrity as far as I'm concerned. The moment something becomes more about ratings and money than truth, corruption has a path. There's more to everything, which is why we're never in a good position to judge based on news alone. Even experts disagree!

[Leroy Peterson]

A friend of mine did work experience and confirmed what we already knew: working for the herals sun requires selling your soul.

And unfortunately, I work with people who read the shit. I do know poeple who read it, just so they can point out all the errors and how misleading the stories are, which is almost just as bad.

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

lol

[Rekin]

Yeah I remember when I blew the coolant hose that sits underneath the inlet on the 20

Would have been easier to pull the engine out when I replaced it lol

Haha know that feeling

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

similar thing happened to me with the mrs golf... I just ignored it and the problem went away when we sold the car

Offloading responsibility onto others is quite possibly the best way to get through life without a hitch. I believe they teach courses on it, but they call it a diploma of management.
