Everything has jumped up a lot. I buy certain things that I have been buying for years.

2.5kg bag of commercial style frozen chips, was paying $7.50 from local wholesaler, paid $12.50 Yesterday.

Baking paper was $1.99 per roll, now $3.59

I also noted bags of lollies, snakes etc are now $4 at Coles. they were $1.99 only a matter of weeks ago.

Four pack of Mother energy drink (yes I am addicted) $7.50 till about three weeks ago now over $11 etc etc etc I could go on all day. Not just small jumps but huge increases.

It's the War in Ukraine ? well yes and no ? but it's the same load of BS dribble that they peddle, outright lies and it's coming form our side ! on everything, we are being taken for fools ! Covid was a pathetic reaction, to see how stupid people were ? what was the % that you could die from such if healthy, non ! but for wanting destruction ! wipe out business !
The price of Fuel ? could be cheap as when Trump was in easy, but Biden wants high fuel prices to peddle the new age BS and most people just swallow it all with no regard at all ! following along with anything the Government claims with no regard at all !
Joe Biden can do no wrong ? but is the biggest moron fool President ever.
Not to mention your money in the Bank is not safe anymore, you have to have a degree in how not to be taken for a ride nowadays.
Governments are out of control nowadays and people who pray on others should be hung in the mall for scamming. and
The brat kids need a good kick up the tail, i blame the governments for creating the brats and all. It's no excuse in fact, why should we pay for a limp governments failings and being dominated over by nothing but trash !

I was going to delete your post as it's so far off topic it's in another country but decided to leave it in for the comical value.


P.S. Back off on the Red cordial ok?

I know it was off topic, but in his defence some of the things he mentioned aren't that far off being correct.

Biden is the same as most president from good 'ol us of a .... i would have thought trump was the biggest? [but then again it could be the public?]. governments have 'appeared' to slowly shift from being a "peoples government" to a "corporal government". banks saying no to cash .... holy forking crap and the kids .. put the onus on said parents?. 4 year old here swears like a trooper & spits at his mum ..... parents don't appear to do anything sort of reprimanding.


now back to warranties being no longer honoured

Ps. no red cordial was consumed .... it was ALL green............

I know one is not allowed to talk about political issues at all because, well i will not say that.
But if you all think your heading down the right track, well i wont say that. But if you are happy to pay the price ? and everyone looks to be happy to pay the price nowadays without any regard at all.
The price of fuel is a non issue now as is the House power bill intent no one could not care less ! but you are being ripped off in fact, just saying and it's related to the post by XB GS 351 Coupe. Not just small jump up but huge increases.
It's The era of say nothing ! cause you could offend.

I could of been up for $360 for a Battery if i got caught out and car would not start ! Like hell being stung like that BS. as i am not impressed about that at all, i do not like being played. How can a business get away with such outright criminal tactics. but they do ! not only regarding battery's but hang on it's taboo to mention anything other.

Another thing i was wondering can you push start a manual car nowadays that has to have the clutch pushed in so as to turn the key so as to start ?

You may have to get the engine spinning over at a speed and touch the clutch for it to hope to fire up ?

But then again jumper cables must be a must nowadays ?
Only if one is willing to jump start a EFI car nowadays, i found out when i had a VS Commodore and a mate with a VS Commodore battery was run down flat, i said i will put the leads on ! the correct way myself by the book ! but this bloke just tossed the lead on in the most stupid way possible, it sparked real badly 3 times. like why would anyone do such ! such is life. I could not care if it was a carby car but the trouble that such people can cause is huge !
I work on my own cars and for the life of me someone has to come and play around with things, the very things that should not be touched they will go directly for such and i say This is not like a f HQ Holden get lost, do not play with the electronic throttle body or air sensor for f sake and do not put jumper leads on a EFI car for f sake, why well, it's not worth it !

Three years and ten months old Century EF57MF, tested 550 out of rated 560CCA last weekend with the SP Tools mini tester. (Fully charged, left to “settle” 45 minutes post charging and not connected to the car.)

Not saying this would be a universal experience but it’s pretty good. Bought on special, I think about $155 at the time. That’s less than 12¢ per day for the benefit, and falling.
