Volvos are known as Swedish Valiants in Australia and driving one is liable to make you ribbing stock from all of your mates. In Aus a Volvo is usually found doing 70 in the right lane of the Monash Freeway with someone re... |

| I've always had side hussles. Worked all matter of jobs when at school and uni. When I graduated I worked full time, did another job in the same field one day a week and picked up casual work on my days off in other areas. It allowed me to get ahead financially while I was still quite young to buy a... |

| I typically like dogs more than people. Dogs are much much more trustworthy than people. Dogs always show you their true thoughts and won't stab you in the back. They also don't care about superficial crap, where you live, what brand clothes you wear or how rich you are. Give me a dog over a person... |

| I've always had a few special interests. Things that I've had a liking for as a kid that come back to me intensely for periods of time. Mostly I tend to read about them intensively online but as I get older don't feel the need to acquire the gear concerning them. I don't think of it as that much dif... |

| I've never understood the obsession with height, I'm quite tall that's just how nature made me. I noticed in the dating world it seems to be a big deal where a woman doesn't want a bloke shorter than her. Anyone who meets me in real life can see how tall I am, unless I wear platform shoes or saw 6 i... |

| You've heard of it...but what do you observe on a daily basis? When you flush the toilet, does the water spin clockwise or anticlockwise? I'll take a look when I go next and report back. It may also be influenced by the jets at the top of the bowl as to which way they face or are facing straight do... |

That is so much the sort of thing I used to do.
Play pranks using radios.
Running AM on the 6 metre band seems to have a habit of getting into audio equipment. |
