    FWIW besides the buildings I am pretty this setup in this photo has not changed in like 30 years...

    It did about 5 years ago when they went from Give Way signs to traffic lights and some of the lanes were altered. Most of the issues at the roundabout stem from people not knowing what lane they need to be in, then traffic being held up when they stop in the middle of the roundabout and try to change lanes.

    TTIM : more anti artificial sweetener propaganda being peddled by the media who are clearly controlled by the powerful sugar lobby. 

    Can you debunk this study for me? Strokes probably the one thing that scares me the most, am actually thinking of going to full strength soft drink in light of this news.

    TTDIM: Hong Kong's public transport, especially the MTR (Mass Transit Railway). We should get whoever runs the MTR over to Victoria to build, own and operate our own "system." And the HK "Octopus" card and associated hardware and software shits all over Myki. Can even use it in a lot of shops. When you arrive you can buy an "on-loan Octopus card", load it up with money, and when you leave you return the card at the airport and the balance on the card is refunded to you. Bloody marvellous.

    MTR actually do own/operate Melbourne Metro (just not everything else)

    I found the frequency of the trains in Hong Kong to be impressive, as one is leaving the station you can see the other one coming just behind it on the same line.

    But if the players are delivering in their performances (they won the flag FFS) why should their personal lives be anyone's problem? The club should only intervene when it impacts on the performance of the team, which it clearly didn't.

    It impacts the perception of the club (and sport)  and the ability to attract sponsors which is the only thing that keeps clubs going. 

    There are plenty of bush leagues available to play in if players don't want to act as role models or uphold standards.

    I can't see how this is WCE fault. Players are adults and make their own decisions, if the AFL/ASADA isn't testing or providing adequate punishment then its on them not the club.

    Club knew about the problems and did nothing to stop it, they are just as responsible for allowing the culture to fester.

    TTIM; how much Victoria Labor ignores their rusted on seats (e.g. the West) and how the infrastructure there is a joke and these people continue voting for them.

    Politics isn't like a football team, you are allowed to change who you vote for.

    Well Liberals were giving us the EW Link (who got my vote) and Labor are giving us the Western Distributor plus the new underground line which will benefit the west, as well as the 2bn Labor are spending on roads strictly in the west (http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/victoria/major-roads-announcement-to-be-made-by-premier-daniel-andrews/news-story/5c290875f6f548ca415996f62000e24d)

     There was also the Regional Rail Link which was completed a couple of years ago. I don't feel we've been completely ignored.

    Was paid for by a women's rights group. Couldn't care less would rather waste my outrage elsewhere 

    It was actually paid for by an Electrical company & Commitee for Melbourne (which doesnt seem like a womens rights group from what I can work out) and only cost $8000.

    http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-03-07/female-traffic-light-signals-melbourne-pedestrian-crossing/8330560

    The program has been funded by the Committee for Melbourne and Bayswater company Camlex Electrical.

     

    Bigger issue for me is the motives behind this and if the electrical company is doing this in an attempt to win a contract from the Government to change more of the lights over
