Any of you Aussies have a boat license? I have lots of reading materials and have owned a boat most of my life. The thing is I have never needed a boat license. I am wondering what your australian experiences are at getting the boat license and what i need to focus on for the test etc. I am looking at buying a boat, however first i need my boat license as I am going to take this boat i am looking at buying for a test run. We have been given permission to take it up to Sydneys northern beaches for a weekend and going to go have a weekend of wake boarding/fishing etc. Any useful information regarding the australian boat license test from people who have first hand experience sitting it would be great to hear. Thanks. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

Yeah it costs 11% for my partner as well. You guys must have the same job. She is lucky though, She just uses the hospital taxi chits that the government pays for. Tell you what Squeak, you would not believe how many people jump off the harbour bridge trying to kill themselves. My partner was called in three times to the hospital over the weekend for that exact same reason. NExt fucker that wants to jump off the harbour bridge at 4am when my girlfriend is on call better fucking die! .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

You don't know your family and relatives phone number or have it next to the phone or programmed into the phone? Fair enough, I just always though that was the norm. I guess not for everybody. No, not for everybody. Some of us just have larger worlds, than others. Here, we marry outside of the family....family sometimes tends to spread out a bit and we don't stay in close touch, with cousins and more distant "family". I have a extended family of around 80. (cousins, second cousins etc) We get together once every year usually. I have always had them in my little phone book. I just imagined that was what people did. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

BINGO! SNAP! whatever. You are 100% correct. I was waiting for someone to come back at me with the logic behind it instead of arguing about it. The fact is, I worked in a gas station in NZ when i was young. The station was the lagrest in New Zealand with 32 pumps at that time. This station only made $0.04 cents per littre (quater gallon) The rest went on taxes. Another thing that is very highly taxed in most countries is smokes. Shops use to make $0.06cents on a packet of ciggys. The ciggys were about $8.00usd a pack. The rest went on taxes. Ciggys now cost about $12usd a pack of 25's. Still, the prices for the consumer has always been the same. Alot worse of than the USA

Only Londoners, cause it is impossible to drive around London as it is. Sure some train and bus etc, just the same amount per cepita i imagine as every other country. We all moan about our gas prices, that is inevitable. I was just letting you know it that it is not that bad for you guys yet. It has always been this bad for us. The cheapest a gallon i remember in my past 14 years of driving it was $3usd a gallon in New Zealand/Australia. That was 14 years ago. So 14 years ago it was $3usd a gallon for my country. IN America 14 years later it is $3.50 a gallon. The United State drivers have never lived with high Gas prices compare to most of the world. The only argument i can think of is that it is economies. I never remember in my life a period though, where gas prices were not an issue. I remember filling up in the USA, while driving around.. And thinking to myself that the USA was one of the best places to do a driving trip cause the petrol is so super cheap, compared to any of the other countrys i had been to. Gas prices in the USA stood out to me as one the most astonishing things about the country. Constantly i hear americans moaning about the gas prices, I was blown away when i went there myself as i could not understand why the american voice on gas prices was such a worry. I had never seen petrol so cheap. Please, I am not trying to be nasty, I am just commenting from my experiences of journeys through different changing countries for the past constant 10 years.

My Granny just sticks to the old way. The telephone. I have always found the telephone/mobile phone a pretty fast way to achieve the same if not more. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

Aren't they all the same? .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

I think so. It makes my face cringe when my girlfriend ever mentions her myspace or facebook or whatever the latest one to have is. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

I can't understand why americans go on about the price of fuel like it is expensive or something. It is the cheapest in the western world over in the USA. We pay about $5.40usd a gallon in Australia. The UK pays about $8usd a gallon. The USA pays about $3.50usd a gallon. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

I guess so. But they say only 6 survived didn't they? It is a good point. We will find out soon enough. Only 4 episodes left. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

I have just read alot of theories on Aaron. A conclusion that i have come to is that Aaron has and always been a huge part of the entire story. Just not that noticable. Maybe the guy claire saw before she left had the vision for her to crash. He said she had to raise the baby on her own. She said she did not want to. He insisted she must. HE then lied and gave her a ticket to meet adoptive parents in L.A. so she would get on the plane that her saw would crash. So she would be forced to raise the baby on her own like he said had to be done. They said aaron would be evil if she and her only did not raise aaron. Now kate is raising him. Later in the show they said babys can not be born on the island. The whole show was about the others taking the children and the medial research was on babys. Maybe the baby is Jacob bought back to real world? Or something... Also, they say that only 8 people survivied but it is only the 'oceanic 6' that come back. maybe claire dies. MAybe kate kills claire. Maybe mothers really do not surive on the island after they give birth. Remember Jack is also claires half brother. Aa rons uncle. They are lying about something. Someone is forcing them to lie. Did katye kill claire and feel guilty so she raises aaron. So many things. It does come down to Aaron being a major part in the entire story. Someone on the island said Walt and Aaron were special. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

What the city of Sydney did, Instead of car pool lanes, Was build tunnels under alot of the motorways that run in the same direction. Also more of an express route. They charge a toll for these. Your car gets a tag and everytime you go through the tunnels you get billed. At the same time they have the usual government motorways that do not charge a toll. It has not solved the problem, but i believe it has helped alot more than a car pool lane would have. Maybe someone wants to look more into the sydney tunnels to see what i am talking about. They are corporate owned give you two options, whilst not having to share your ride. I am sure more people than not would rather drive to work on their own rather than share a car with someone every day. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

I am sure there is many people just like you described out there doing the same. It is just such a small majority and has been for a long time. Has carpooling hit it's peak yet.. Cause if it has it has not really solved the traffic problem and may be better off openning the lane up to all traffic. I don't claim to know better than what they are doing, I am just asking the question. It seems to me that it may have peaked already and does not solve as much as the problem that they had anticipated when planning the lane. Maybe if it is open to all cars it would better the problem more than it currently is. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

I see that side as well. At the same time though, only a very small majority of people will change their behavior, so it kind of makes it ineffective. Traffic will never get better, it will only get worse until we find a better alternative to getting around. I don't think any of us will ever see that day. They were a great idea, but how much longer are they going to keep this in use before they realise it aint changing anything. If they opened this lane in L.A. up, I imagine that lane would be able to keep the flow of around 60,000 cars a day moving. This in turn would stop the traffic problem alot better than they are at the moment. I reffer here to my limited experience in L.A. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

Car pool lane. I think there are two different sides to them. First, they are fucking stupid cause in the big picture all this money being spent and roadworks causing years of delay is wasted as it the traffic problem just stays blocked up. Look at L.A. When i went through L.A. from in a weekday morning it was jam packed, However the other side of it.. There was another person in my car so we just cruised past 3 lanes of blocked up traffic. I did think at the time though it would really suck to be one of the other people on their way to work, stuck in heavy traffic. I think they should open it up to all cars so they can help the traffic problem. I guess someone will say then people should share rides to work to solve problems... Fuck that, Going to work in the morning you are usually half aslepp and dont want to have to share your space with someone else. Going to work in the morning, every morning to deal with fuckwits at work all day, you should be able to spend that time by yourself. Then coming home you are so relieved for the day to be over and you can do your own thing, why be forced to have to pick someone else and talk about work on the ride home while stuck in shitty traffic? There are plenty of other ways to save the world from it's problems. I think this generation will be known as the generation that saved/tried to save the world. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

how often do you do in air handle check?
bigway replied to shermanator's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Use to when i first started. Now, i never touch my handles. If i am on my belly i might find myself checking my hackey in freefall but i dont check my handle while freeflying. I check before i leave the plane around 10 times or so but apart from that not in freefall. I doubt many people check their handle when in a sit or on their head. I am sure it would be difficult to run your hand down to your handles while you are on your head. I have taken a year off though so maybe i just remember it wrong. .Karnage Krew Gear Store . -

kate's back story focused on how she had to get on that plane and it would lead her to meet her baby's new adoptive parents. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

can you answer your thoughts on any of these questions Tigra? Who is Miles working for? Why does he want exactly $3.2 mil and how does he know Ben has it? What the hell was up with Daniel, Charlotte and that card trick? What happened to the helicopter? Who came up with that stupid story Jack has to keep telling, who is making them tell it and why would they agree to it? How did eight survivors become the Oceanic 6? What happened to Claire? Is Kate telling people Aaron is hers? Why doesn't Jack want to see him? Why did the DA want to make sure Kate stayed in California so bad? .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
