I can't see what the harm is. There couldn't be any objection to more competition?

I'm in Sydney, but the petrol shenanigans are atrociously obvious.

I shit you not, there's one BP station I go to that at the peak of a cycle can be 40c/l cheaper than every other BP station in the area. You know why? Because 200m down the road is an independent station that doesn't seem to follow the price cycle.

How is it that all BPs other stations in the area are 40c/l higher, and just this one BP up the road from the independent can afford to set it's price 40c/l lower?

The pattern becomes very obvious to spot.

"I am altering the deal, pray I don't alter it any further."

Goddamit!

Tricksy horsesses!

Everything is goal directed right up to the...

REEEEEEEEEE! HOLY FUCK WHAT WAS THAT LITTLE NOISE OR MOVEMENT? RUNAWAY! RUNAWAY! RUNAWAY!

RSVP

I regret to inform you that we are unable to attend your wedding.

Because they keep forgetting.

Ba-dum-tish!

Hadn't they already called out China and India? Or was that just the media or us guessing who they were talking about?

Not prices of anything lol

I don't get it. What's the point of doing any of that the night before?

The night before I mix two eggs with a little milk and put it in a microwavable mug. Then microwave it for 30 seconds, stir and repeat twice. It creates a round slab of egg that I put on a piece of buttered toast with ketchup spread on it.

Yuk. That would be cold and soggy by the next morning lol

Grab a spray can and clear coat them as soon as they hang it around your neck lol

proactive policing

This gets me twitching. It's like some kind of Minority Report.

The idea behind it might be good - to prevent crimes before they happen -, but inevitably there are kpi's or measures put around it that lead to different, and harmful, outcomes.

Eg, police set up young or disadvantaged people so they hit their arrest targets, and therefore justify how 'great' their proactive policing policy is.
