However, all the crap non-old people have to go through sounds like a bitch.

About five years ago, I saw an elderly couple driving the wrong way on a major three lane street. Luckily it was early in the morning on a weekend and there was very little traffic. I dunno what happened to the car since i turned onto another street shortly after noticing them.

This happened to my wife's cousin's husband Jim. We attended the funeral, but Jim's mother did not. To this day, she does not feel responsible for the accident, and says that it was Jim's own fault.

I've read that before, but that is comedy gold.

Last year some old bitch hit us in our brand new car. Yes, brand new, and also the nicest car we’ve ever had. We had come to a stop at the stoplight, exactly as we were supposed to in the exact right spot. All of a sudden we were hit in the back and thrown forward. The airbags didn’t go off or anything, but the whole bumper needed to be replaced. Even worse, it was my idea to take the new car that night. I leapt out of the car screaming extremely vulgar profanity and kicking the guardrail, so I think I scared her at least. Basically the only thing she said was, “Oohhhhh ohhhh I had a terrible allergy attack… oohhh I couldn’t see a thing.” People like that just shouldn’t be on the road.

Automatics and semi-Automatics are illegal, and fairly recently there has been pressure on banning pistols. Very few people own guns here due to the highly regulated gun licencing laws (I know only one family with them), however we have a fairly big problem with illegal firearms getting into the country.

I've never been to brisbane, But Sydneys a hoot at night.
