@machpants I'd politely turn down the rakfisk and just ask for another shot of vodka

@machpants I didn't find the smell of rakfish as objectionable as durian. Didn't really like the taste of either although neither made me want to puke.

Durian, however, repeated on me for hours making me quite queasy later.

In my case neither came with vodka

The most disgusting things I have ever seen swallowed were by pilots

Shit! you made it out of @Snowy Air B'n'B!?

The wife is Cambodian and loves durian shakes, not much fresh durian available in NZ (thank fuck). Haven't sniffed rakfish and have zero interest in it. I'd hurl for sure I reckon. But it's fun watching people die inside when they open the can and realise what they are in for!

I don't effffffing need one!!!!!

Does it cover road rage? Getting a bit of that lately.

I always remember one story I had read many years back Not long after the first speed cameras were erected in NZ) NZTA had sent a speed camera ticket to a guy.

He thought he'd be funny, and sent them a phot of his cheque for the fine.

They responded in kind with a picture of some handcuffs.

Well played Mr Policeman, well played.

That ticket begs to differ...

I’ve only got one speeding ticket on my record, and that was when my 70+ year old father in law over from the UK borrowed the car and got hit. I coudn’t be bothered sorting it so he paid the fine

I have been onvolved in accidental sonic booms, over speeds and over Gs tho - and you always get caught for those!

Having been on one, I would say the opposite. 4 hours of my life I won’t get back. I did take particular notice though to the statement that you do not pass or fail the course, it is enough that you attend. Consequently when we were all asked to state our major take-away from the course, I stated that next time I’ll just take the points.

Tumbleweed moment with just the odd suppressed snigger.

@machpants see that sounds very cool... Going 35 in a 30 zone is embarrassing.
So tell me more about your sonic booms... alt text

We used to call them "crew meals" (no not the crew, the stuff they called food, although they could be interchangeable depending how much they pissed me off).
