343858 2005-04-11 22:33:00 I'm in a bad mood and I feel like telling the world about it.
I've just renewed my driving license. Seventy five years old. The COST $42 for a medical. $18.30 for a five year license. . $200.10 to register the car. $42.00 for a warrent of fitness.
And, not that it matters, my doctor didn't put a tick where it says I'm fit to drive all classes of vehicle. So now all I can drive is a car.
I can't even ride a motor bike. I haven't ridden one for fifty years but that's beside the point.
The only amusing thing is the doctor ticked where it says my eyesight is OK, so I don't have to wear glasses to drive. I've needed them for the past ten years!!!!
Now I'll spend the day looking at my empty wallet.

And this has nothing to do with computers.

Actually Jack, it does. This also means you now don't need to wear glasses while playing Richard Burns Rally, so that's good ....

Yes You can get one down here for $32 but I went to the Testing Station.I had to get the other stuff there and I didn't check their warrant price first.

343864 2005-04-12 01:11:00 And then there's the cost of petrol. You just can't win, can you?

By the way, it's now around $1.15 per litre and steadily increasing here in Brisbane, and people are muttering about a citizens uprising... and it's raining...

343865 2005-04-12 01:17:00 Haven't taken my car to work for weeks - I walk. Cheaper all round and healthier too (apart from the fumes I breath in of course ....).

Personally I can't wait for hydrogen fuel-cell based cars. Get rid of all this pollution ....

Loved that city.
