Steiny Posted 8May, 2014 Report Share Posted 8May, 2014 I read they were sending 'military' advisors. In my vocabulary that means only one thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion03 Posted 8May, 2014 Report Share Posted 8May, 2014 http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/may/06/western-intervention-nigeria-kidnapped-girls-corruption-boko-haram I am thinking a quite military strike by one of the quick reaction forces, get in, get the girls, fade away into the background, let the nigerian gov take the credit. not a whole scale change the country thing as that's just impossible. I would say the last successful occupation of a country would be General McArthur's occupation of Japan after WW2. The rest has been disasters.

Norm Posted 19May, 2014 Report Share Posted 19May, 2014 In the last two months I've been back and forth between Perth and Margaret River more times than I care to think about. On three occasions now I have seen drivers occupying (read blocking) the right hand overtaking lane. And more importantly these are the sections of road designated for overtaking on a single carriageway. I just don't see how anyone can be that ignorant; that your driving along with cars in front and behind and when the road opens up to two lanes you pull out to overtake but then don't overtake and just drive next to the guy to your left! A few days ago I saw a car do this twice on consecutive overtaking sections. I saw a gap on the left and passed there. Only after I did this I saw them move to the left lane.. The last night driving to Perth I see a car pulled over and it's right hand indicator comes on. No other cars around and the car is still 150m away so I change to the right lane to give them room to pull out. They pull out straight into the right lane. On a 110km/h highway. WA drivers, I swear.... Uncle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I blame the advent of modern cruise control for this one. People just put their brains into neutral and stop looking around, totally unaware of their surrounds.

Orion03 Posted 19May, 2014 Report Share Posted 19May, 2014 What I hate is... people who travel at 90 kmh in a 100 zone because it's just one lane. Then the moment there's an overtaking lane they zoom off to 110 kmh, cause gee there's now 2 lanes and they feel they can go faster. Just makes it impossible to overtake them without going way faster then the speed limit... all the while aware that the Fuzz is waiting up ahead with the radar gun.

What's worse is it happens all the time when I'm in my Hiace diesel work van. The morons will always sit at 10kmh or less below the speed limit and then I end up with a train of cars behind me, but when it comes to the overtaking lane (Always usually slightly uphill) off the moron zooms back to the speed limit. Then as I try and overtake by revving the guts out the van to get past, which takes for ever, I'm looked at as the moron cos I'm only just slowly creeping past the original idiot before the overtaking lane runs out and no one else gets through.
