It's not the police..

(Preview)
It's not the police who need to be retrained, it's the public. We have grown into a mouthy, mobile phone wielding, vulgar, uncivil society with no personal responsibility and the attitude of 'it's the other person's fault', 'you owe me'.

I'm seriously confused after the rallies on the weekend to get governments to change society to protect women from Aholes killing their partners. No amount of new laws can render a solution for the problem, the red cloud of fury prevents these low lifes to consider anything other than their perceive...

Currently no Lithium Ion batteries are recycled in Australia with CSIRO saying 90% are stored at warehouses, in America that figure is 95%. Wonder what happens when just a single battery among thousands store...

Why Is It?
(Preview)
Why is it that no one just has everyday experiences in life but has to be on a "journey"? Why can't people enjoy their occupation or at least be satisfied with it without having to be "passionate"? When something good happens why can't we just be happy instead of being "humbled"? Why is everything descr...

Driving style.

I am aware that I'm an old fart and my driving style/technique differs from many younger drivers. It amazes me that many drivers (including the child-bride) rely only on the vehicles braking system to regulate speed and stopping. The "modern" methodology of driving with one foot (right) for accel...
