The devils dictionary.
That lets Amanda Vanstone, Joan Kirner and several others of the hook :D :D :D
Back in 93 when i was managing Lysaghts in Tamworth all of sudden all the lights went out the computers went down and all the the machinery stopped. We all thought it was a blackout.
We go outside into the street and just down the road is a small crane truck. Apparently he had done a small job up the road and took off back to his place of work and forgot to put the jib down on the crane.
Just as he went past his place of work a small engineering concern the jib hooked the overhead electrical cables into his factory.
The result was that he ripped the mains out of their switch board and blacked out 2 blocks.
He was not very popular.
Was sitting once inside a McDonalds with the kids and was watching an elderly gent tying down his load on his trailer.
The trailer was just beyond the driveway of Maccas and this bimbo pulls up waiting to leave the carpark in a Hyundai. (say no more) She sits there and waits for the traffic to pass.
Just looking at how she was angled I thought to myself she is going to hit that trailer.
Sure enough, takes off and wipes out the entire left side of her car from about the front wheels all the way back :eek: There was heaps of space to avoid the trailer, but no the shortest path is the quickest they say (it was a female driving a Hyundai)
She stops, gets out, the old bloke just ignores her, as he should. She picks up the remains of the side "protective" strips she peeled of her car and drives off.
The trailer just moved a bit but was otherwise intact.
I think of this incident whenever I'm on the pushbike - It's a worry.
One I have seen numerous times and still find it amusing, Mr renovator and family by wood panelling or similar for home, put it on the roof rack and tie down (despite about 3' overhang either end of the rack).
The desired speed seems to be about 40kph and snap, shorter sections of wood panel.
I was really shocked to see the female helper on ToolTime with tim the tool man Taylor spinning some timber on a lathe while her long hair merrily waved about her face .
That was stupid .
That actually happened to a Honda rider (Mick Hone?) at Bathurst many years ago. He pulled into the pits for a front wheel change and in those days there were two humps going down the straight where the bikes would get slightly air borne. Well....in the rush the pit man failed to tighten the wheel and you can guess what happened.....the rider survived but never seriously raced again.Quote:

But on the subject of idiots.......the world is full of 'em....but at one time or another we've all been that idiot. :doh:
I have one of these stickers on my toolbox.

Helps keep me focused.
Stupid drivers, many years ago while bases at enoggera I drove fairly large Macks, you know the ones. Well at the of the Samford road there were traffic lights and the lines on there road were sagged. The sign on the traffic lights said do not enter against the traffic or something like that. Well a lot of motorist didn’t read the warning and moved over the line and one day as i was turning a ladie did this and i ran over the frount of her 3 week old Torana, it was only a slight bump. i had a tank on a lowloader
I dont see anything strange about that....we have quite a few road trains here in SA.Quote:
