I need to know....

[Armchair expert]

I've recently had occasion to meet in the CBD and, sadly, the most practical park is above the police station in Hindley St, I need to know, why do so many people drive Toyota/Nissan/Ford trucks and park in the city? If you're familiar with that car park there's extra spaces marked on the inside of the turning points at each end with "Small Car" painted on the ground, I went to level 6, so past 12 of them, 9 of them had weekend warrior wanker trucks parked in them. Most of them with roo bars, light bars, not a spec of mud.

The real question

The real question

10 min drive and stay dry each way
Either that or 45 min walk and get wet
Or 15 mins of walking and 15 mins of bus ride

My time is valuable but I might walk to the bus stop when the weather improves.
Fees/Petrol aren't an issue as I'm earning 4 times as much as I was at the pub.

My time is valuable

is that because it's running out old man?

I’m a bit confused, are you calling utes trucks?

Doe's anyone prefer short cut bacon over middle bacon (ie fatty end on)?

We only use short cut unless there's a good reason

[DOC]

Looks like I am in the minority. I better not show this to the bride, I may have to just buy the "good stuff" by accident.

[Wedgie]

The missus says middle and she's a pig expert. Goes crispier as more fat, it's more like English bacon. Short cut is like someone's taken the best bits away she said.

[DOC]

Exact reasons I like it.

[Jimmy_041]

Exact reasons I like it.

Its not good for you if it tastes good

[Jimmy_041]

Another foody question:

Anyone else go for this?

[DOC]

Not had it but I love a great Peking Duck.

[am Bays]

I've been buying Schultz bacon through Fannie Bay Fine meats up here

100% Australian pork, the taste difference is amazing compared to the 10-20% Australian short cut product at Woolies or Coles.

We've had those now and again as a snack with a few beers. Not bad.

[Jimmy_041]

Highly recommend DOC.
We have them every 3 - 4 weeks
Stick some carrot matchsticks in as well as the onion & cucumber
The longest part of preparation is cutting them up

Tongue in cheek. Ute, HQs, EHs, XFs, they're utes, these new Rangers and others aren't utes though.

They are all utes, they just evolve. Like a particular footy club, they might be in a bigger league than they used to be but they are still essentially the same.

NAh Booneys spot on, these prissied up Hiluxs. Rangers etc arent utes. They're driven by blokes who want to drive a proper ute but are "overcompensating"
