Time for more people to pop down to SpecSavers, so they're not banging into closed doors so often then. Far out. It's truly sad how we have to keep putting warnings on packaging and such, needing to put stickers of circles on glass doors and so on, Simply because there are far too many stupid people getting around.

Sydney trains are double deckers. Theres upstairs and downstairs section to sit in. The end of the carriage is where the doors are and a few seats there as where you saw the bike.

[@mebeme007]

They're a good idea, I think. We need those types of trains in Melbourne, too. Badly needed with the population size we have.

[@peterbreis5407]

@@mebeme007 Melbourne did briefly try them, an older design, so they seem to fit your infrastructure. They are obviously taller and you have a broader gauge. I can't remember why nothing happened that you didn't finally adopt them. They hold many more passengers in greater comfort, with reversible seats so people can choose to face each other or the direction of travel. But holding more people they are a bit slower to load and unload. Double decker trains exist around the world but these are the best design by far IMHO. The Paris RER outer suburb trains are most similar. There are some shockingly bad designs, like in Chicago and Toronto, who really need to look at Sydney's design. The Sydney trains perfected the design long ago. The wide automatic doors are at each end level with the platform with no steps. Next to the entry area is a section with wall seating and standing for people with prams, bicycles and wheelchairs. The stairs tuck into each other at an angle, a short distance up and down, very quick and easy to get in and out. The trains are fast (up to 130km/hr), almost silent, smooth ride and well designed for Sydney's long distance commutes. A set of 8 holds over 1200 people (max 1750) 900 of whom are seated. Sydney is now adopting automated Metro style trains for greater frequency, faster acceleration (they are lighter) and shorter station dwell times, but I like the double decker trains for the longer commutes. Sydney's West, Blue Mountains and Wollongong are over an hour and half out and the Central Coast and Newcastle are over two hours, comfortable seating is important.

Both places must have been close to stations. On the 'sortie' I saw they moved a wardrobe, 'stripey bags' of clothes and a fridge, with the help of two trolleys . From what they were saying, this was their third load and had two more to go. Got to love those 'easy access' elevators at stations.

"A Bumble Nut is other wise known as a small ball of faeces that has not been wiped properly and sticks to the hairs around your anus, and is left so long it has gone hard. The name derives from Bum-Ball-Nut but recent accents in recent times have thus changed this to Bumble Nut In school we went swimming and my mate Benyon tried to change into his trunks but his underpants were caught on his Bumble Nuts."

[@PiersDJackson]

@14:10 the problem is that the road is narrow, normally the "regular" truck driver's communicate with each other - ie. AA towing northbound with trailer from gate 5 to Ryan's Knob.... so the southbound truck would've waited at Ryan's Knob until AA Towing had passed, then said Lurch Removals southbound Ryan's Knob to Gate 5. Unfortunately the tow truck had to cut-in, the truck is fine, but the trailer has followed the tighter line and gone over the edge, despise the Armco barrier.... a possible solution is to chain off to the second truck and winch the trailer sideways as the tow truck continues forward... carefully.

[@DeepThought9999]

The problem was that the truckie was being too polite and considerate and did not “lane-share” enough (go out wide onto the wrong side of the road around the corner, probably with headlights and hazard lights on with that much traffic around), in order to allow for the trailer to make the turn and stay on the road. Perhaps that heavy vehicle + trailer should not have been on that road, as Ryan said. Many of our roads do have resticted access for heavy vehicles where the road and traffic conditions could cause problems for both the heavy vehicle and other vehicles. Galston Gorge in Sydney springs to mind. Another location is when approaching the hairpin bend ascending the Great North Road from Wisemans Ferry heading back to Sydney, the driver of a rigid full-size bus or coach (typically 12.5 metres long - with no bend in the middle of the vehicle) has to go right out as close as possible to the fence on the wrong side of the road well before the hairpin, take the turn with the rear wheels and body of the bus very close to the barrier at the apex (inside) of the hairpin and, if successful, will go very close to the sandstone cutting on the wrong side of the turn exit, in order to get around in one go. Done that many times. Lights and hazards on, with a solid horn blast at the start. Either that or it requires a 3-or-more-point-turn if the driver doesn’t get it right, holding up traffic even more. Worst case would be getting stuck like that truck and trailer in the video.

[@DeepThought9999]

@@ianwalker5842Nor are there double-deckers anywhere else in Oz. Double deckers give much greater seated capacity but at the cost of longer dwell time - the time stationary at a station with passengers entering or leaving, thus slowing things down somewhat in peak times. That’s why our newest (driverless) trains (on a new, separate Metro network) are single-deck trains - less seating, more standing room, shorter dwell times, all giving the ability to move more passengers quickly, within peak hours. The double deckers still are great, though. Very comfortable, especially for longer trips and trips outside peak hours.

Under Australian laws the wheels MUST be fully under fender cover. For example when I changed to steel spoke rims with wider, max legal, tyres on my Toyota Landcruiser, I had to put fibreglass fender extenders, pop riveted to the existing fender metal, to have the tyre fully enclosed. Partly it is to stop spray of dirty water from the tyres, which by the way maycalso need wider mud flaps, as standard ones will be too narrow. As well as water, mud and the like, tyres beyond being enclosed are liable to fling stones and rocks to hit other vehicles causing costly damage. Tyres beyond the vehicle outline are also extra hazard for cyclists, or even pedestrians too close the passing traffic, or causing damage contacting adjacent cars getting too close, due to rotating grinding action, where bodywork to bodywork contact would cause far more mild damage, possibly only minor scratches.

Kmart doesn't have groceries so we can't go there instead. I don't shop at Woolies as they are more expensive than Coles. I've done comparison shops and is often $50 cheaper at Coles; for the stuff I buy anyway.

[@deliawilliams2164]

Ummm, Kmart in Australia doesn't have much food stuff ie bread,meat, dairy products, fresh vegetables.... That's why we going to Coles, Woolies, Aldi (not that Aldi is much cheaper anymore) and IGA.

[@jenniferharrison8915]

Woollies, where you pay for the employees tea break as well! House, 75% off the old stock from the outback stores! Coles, yes it's now gated, just to catch the slow shoppers! Real dog's dinner!

I don’t think it’s a training bike - not a push bike, anyway. The tyres look too wide. I could be wrong, tho.

American soldiers in Brisbane in World War II tried macadamia / bauple nuts when they were here, liked them, and took them back to Hawaii.

Thing's are expensive in Australia. Woolworth is Boycotting Australia Day celebrations aswell . They are Scum .

[@divahc1]

The Woolworths screen says '5 items' but there are only 3-4 shown. So, where's the 5th item?

I have never had that happen at Coles, very slowly. Kmart doesn't sell groceries here, they sell, clothes, toys, electricals, and the like. My daughter call kids crotch goblins and she has a book titled ""Go the f**k to sleep!" It puts the letters in where they should go when opened.

House has 160 stores across Australia, so it may be that this one store is closing, or if it’s a franchise, the franchisee is closing. Edit: A comment you missed said they asked and they’re closing for stocktake, so that’s a thing. I’ve only bought from them online.

“iSnack 2.0, Kraft's new name for its creamier take on Vegemite, was ridiculed so much that the US-owned company withdrew the name. The backlash, mainly on Twitter and other social networking sites, pushed Kraft to leave the product with no name while voters decided on Cheesybite in an online competition. 6 Oct 2009” Kraft took such a hit from meddling with our Vegemite, that it gladly sold it to Bega along with Kraft cheese and Kraft Peanut Butter. As far as I know, Kraft is no longer in Australia. All my years growing up, I thought Kraft was an Aussie company. It was only in the Noughties that I discovered they were American! Thankfully Vegemite has remained in Australian hands and there’s no more meddling with the product. (I believe Kraft tried to add cheese to it. 🤢

Rough surface sign gets put up. But 12mths later it is still not fixed. So.... fix it you dogs Looks like the Gillies range in Nth Qld. The mane road the Palmerston Hwy is closed due to damage from Cyclone Jasper. So trucks are using detours. But the Gillies range is restricted to 12m (36ft) & 24ton (53,000lb).

[@ulrikezachmann7596]

The ISnack ijar of Vegemite is old.They tried to change the name of Vegemite after some American company bought it out and people complained because they started messing with the recipe and put stuff like cheese in it. It didn’t sell and was a marketing failure so they they changed it back and left it as it originally was. As a blow back they left it the original recipe and then labeled it odd things like Pizza for a joke. I still have a jar of Vegemite labeled Pizza.

Can't believe it myself but the first thing that has schoked me about american living on Ryans channel this far is - do americans really drink coke at work?! Provided by their employers?! I can't imagine that - coffee/tea yes - but coke?! Do you get candy/lollies as well? It isn't the movies, it's a workplace! Bad enough I guess kids in school there drink it, but adults?! 😂

[@mebeme007]

I'm assuming it may be in a canteen environment, like what we Aussies used to have in some large factories and such, back in the day. And it may be one of many different types of drinks on offer. I'm sure they wouldn't just sell Coke and nothing else. People are entitled to choose to drink the stuff if that's what they are happy to drink. Things like canteens in the workplace may be more common in the U.S, where they have a higher population and having a canteen for much larger workforce would make a bit of sense if it's also somewhat profitable for the company. I know that in Germany, there are some well known companies that offer their employees hot meals for lunch. Probably no Coke on the menu, but they do love their sausages. 😜😂

[@GuinevereKnight]

@@mebeme007 No matter if it is a vending machine or in a canteen, it's still soda. That is strange. If someone wants to be unhealthy and bring a bottle to work for lunch of course, but the employer... Do they have free dental care in the US?! 😂 Water (sparkling and still), milk and juice sure, but soda... I shouldn't be surprised, they seem to have it in hospitals too, but somehow I was. Hot meals in canteens, yes I mean they are there for offering lunch and there is usually several options of hot meals, and healthy beverages. Certainly not all workplaces have canteens, but those that do. Otherwise you bring your own food and get coffee for free, fruit and maybe at times breakfast, snacks or sandwiches for meetings and such. Each to their own I guess! But it's easy to see why americans are on sugar rushes/get addicted if they have constant access, even at work.

[@mebeme007]

@@GuinevereKnight Why can't people be offered the option of having a soda if they want one? They might just drink it once in a while and don't drink several bottles every single day. We shouldn't have to be sugar cops, trying to hide it away from people and stop them having the freedom to make their own choices.

[@GuinevereKnight]

@@mebeme007 My response disappeared, so I will have to just reply in short. There is a difference between what the employer does/offers and what the employee does on it's own. They don't offer soda, you can buy soda yourself out of the workplace naturally. We seem to view things differently in different countries and that the employer have different demands to live up to and also what they focus on. Here they don't hand out candy either, it's not seen as something the worker needs. If you want to bring candy that's up to you.

fYes It is illegal. Anything that protrudes outside the exterior of the vehicle's natural or manufactured structure is considered illegal. He will cope a hefty fine, given a notification to 'fix or re-instate to original specifications' within 21 days. This goes for; 'ride height'; 'noise levels' - including inside noise; and ALL exterior modifications that impact the vehicle's length, width and breadth. The tyres in question here protrude beyond the wheel arches by about a inch it seems.
