No one considers it an incentive for anything whatsoever.

I still stand that all these Attaboys and big parties and celebrations are why children nowadays feel entitled.

In the working world they go in expecting big raises, big pats on back because they were at a company 5 years oor so. Doesn't matter how well they performed, just survive and expect a raise.....why? Well because they went through school getting awards and rewards for meeting basic requirements.

That's me completely convinced.

Goodbye parties at the end of primary school are the tools of the devil. They results in poor personal productivity after half a decade in employment decades later.

Well Mao. Being frank. I think you were born some silver spoon type. Didn't have to achieve much, just wait out some pay out. Just basic expectations. Why you have no idea how to raise children and motivate them through activities to become successful adults.

Maybe you shouldn't take this debate with an american.

They are brought up differently.

An example is the "Abstinence Ring" that Stumpy wore while engaged to his sweetheart.

No Pussy awarded until the wedding night.

With that in mind, I see his point

Quite silly Helge but whatever you want to believe.

That said, do you have children? Did you rear them through school? Did you teach them. Show them. Lead by example.

Love to hear your trials and tribulations.

I get a raise every year.

In his defence he does know how to microwave some cheesy nachos and troll the interweb 24/7.

Holy Sheet.

Chitty + Stumpy together.

It's like Operation Chrome Dome in the 1960's, but with alcoholics drinking alone, rather than pilots flying B-52s.


Stumpy does 10am-10pm, then Chitty takes over for the next 12 hours. 24 hours covered. God speed.

This Peugeot 208 hire car is amazing.

Instead of the normal fuel gauge it constantly gives your range in miles. When I picked it up on Tuesday it had 180 miles range left and it just kept on going with hardly a change. At home I can watch the fuel gauge on my thirsty 3 litre Vigo go down as I get stuck in Korat traffic.

Every day I discover something different. Today I realised that there is a constant display of the current speed limit on the speedometer. And I've been watching and it adjusts as you pass new speed limit signs! How does it do that?



And a bit later I had a 'low fuel' warning, and the satnav automatically turned on with all the petrol stations in the area displayed.

Bloody amazing.

there is a button you can press which will drive you back home.

It will also park it for you, handy if you've been on an all day session.

I presume it’s been awhile since you bought or hired a new car, eh? But yup, pretty amazing what them new fangled computers can do these days…

Teslas will do everything for you, why do you think General Snubbles is always pissed.

Why are you always pissed?

^ That sounds pretty cool Bogon.

My Vigo back in Korat has an option that tells you when to slow down or speed up, when it's safe or not to pull out, tells which route to take, which lane to be in and when to change lanes, and even when or not to indicate.

Yeah... the 'taking the wife along' option.

I rarely use it, to be honest!

My wife has a habit of telling me how to drive when I'm behind the wheel. She soon shuts her cakehole when I remind her it was me who taught her.

GRAB also offer this.

Wouldn't it be safer not to drive it in the first place then, parking being the least of anyone's worries?

Same - never use it . . . Luddites of the world unite.

When you visit an Aviation Museum and there's a classic car show on and the Marshalls at the entrance give uou free admission if you display your vehicle with the the other cars on show
