MRAA (ie MRAV) bashing

Years ago I spent $24 on a carton of Marlboros at Tullamarine as
a present for a friend in London. When I got there they were UKP8
per packet ... about $24 back then ...

errm your example is exactly the same isn't it ? $2.05 a packet duty
free and $10.50 a packet in retail ? Although it's a interesting
coincidence that Singapore are putting the same amount of tax on as Oz.

(and for that matter no, I'm not sure it's *exactly* 80%, but it is
*about* 80% )

Nice to see harsh week is still in effect...

Wasn't that because they coloured their patches in? ;-)

Hehe - could be true - I started smoking when I was 4 (bloody jackaroos
taught me how to roll rollies for them...)

A few points... saying DC has a 'somewhat disruptive and aggressive
attitude' is rather like saying that top soccer players get payed
somewhat more than we do

Also... saying 'the past few years' ignores that he was causing problems
for MRA back in the mid 1980's... I know because I was there then.

If you'd like to subsidise my bike insurance premium I accept personal
cheques.

If the shoe fits.

But you felt inclined to tell the rest of the mra people that someone
had words with her.
Smacks of smugness on your behalf to phrase it that way like she was
somoene who had to dealt with.

We've been saying that for some time, get off yuour arses and really do
something like revoke his life membership.

Not very well.

Read above.

Yep.

 

What sort of things GS?

 

It would be easier to just dissolve the MRA. He can't be a life member
of an organisation that doesn't exist, and judging on it's performance
of the past 5 or so years, it would probably be an improvement.

Yeah, that's fair enough I s'pose. Not that smokers would agree, of
course.

But then people might suggest that those who partake in high risk
activities such as football should have "sports" insurance. I belong to
Latrobe Health Services. It has its own private hospital, Maryvale
Private. I was in there once for a minor op. From what I could gather,
most of the other patients were in for knee reconstructions....

In other words it was a glorified sports clinic...

 

CrazyCam said....

Maybe. I'm not aware of that. But it wouldn't surprise me.

 

I'm thinking of making an electric CT110 - can you bring home a rolling
chassis from the office for me?

John Howard calls that 'parity'.

I was assuming that there would be a margin for the seller in the price
somewhere, so the tax is probably closer to 90%.

 

You're getting old mate.

Beer?

Some of us think it's the MRAV. The MRA is just a figment of DC's ego.

Theo

 

Why are so many people so outspoken about the fact that the registered
name of the MRA in Victoria is the MRAA?? When are you starting your
campaign against the NRMA and the SANFL? Better start rallying outside
the National Gallery of Victoria too... and a letter campaign to get the
National Motorcycle Museum of Australia moved out of Nabiac and back to
Canberra?
