Flunking at overtaking

By 21 May, 2013

Devil_n_Disquiz sent us this in:
This clown had already passed us on Brindabella Road between Uriarra Village and Cotter Road. He passed over double lines then too. Not only that but on the crest of a hill. If a motorcycle had been coming the other way it would have been all over red rover. I specifically [...]

By 17 May, 2013

Now that we’re excising Australia from the Australian Migration Zone (because we’re snivelling racists) detention centres could be anywhere.

Turner’s right hand turn woes

By 14 May, 2013

Regular Rioter Poetix has pointed out to us some rather unfortunate pole placing in Turner.

A use found for the 2013 Canberra Yellow Pages!

By 13 May, 2013

With the 2011 Yellow Pages propping my third monitor up acceptably I had wondered what purpose the 2013 edition could serve.
Fortunately at a Dickson apartment complex I saw the package made a very handy door stop.
It does make one weep for the businesses who have paid vast rivers of gold to be included.
We’d certainly like [...]

Unfinished work means small footpath

By 10 May, 2013

Rioter Miriam has noticed something amiss in our fair city, specifically this piece of unfinished work on the corner of Cooyong & Lonsdale St in Braddon.

Fancy a sip? Images of Canberra

By 9 May, 2013

One has to admire the ingenuity of smokers to find new and exciting ways to dispose of their filthy by-products.
One has to wonder who was the first to stub one out here and then I guess the others just followed the lead.
It’s on Ainslie Avenue just across the road from the Legislative Assembly.
