"Meanwhile seven dead on the roads and the booze is the catalyst in most deaths."

Another message not getting through is that although it only takes a couple of seconds to do it up "Seat Belts" may just save your life!

In that student crash a few days ago and the crash last night people were thrown out of their vehicle showing that they were not wearing them!

hey Bryan when I was a young'n about 18 I bought a 1938 Nash Coupe
remember hurtling down a road , saying "Look , we're doing 98 in loose metal ! " then whoa ! we slid off into a thick gorse hedge and rolled end over end 6 times ( they mustta counted the dent marks )
anyway we got out just a few bruises (no such thing as seat belts in them days ), car was dented a bit never even cracked the winders , we pushed it back on its wheels and drove home

point is todays cars are real flimsy death traps they're a write off in a shopping mall car parking bump

Ocker, you remember when cars had bumpers strong enough to jack the car up on?

G'day Mona,

Got a heap of respect for JK....had the guts to publicly front his depression problem as well as his footy problem.

Great stuff JK. winkwinkwink

Ment to mention.....never forget his try against the Itie's back in '87 when he ran through near the complete team.
Cheers. biggrin

With all the negativity and depressing discussions about the future of the world it is a wonder we are not all having panic attacks. Males has been doing this for milleniums. Have we really only advanced from bearskins to synthetics in all this time. Underneath the clothing is there still the savage beating his breast.
