you obviously have never been in the court system because once you do something its guilty and you have to prove your innocence

Steve, you're a moron

Perhaps think before you post, or do some research. There are two factions inside a court room - A prosecution and a defence.

If the prosecution doesn't make their case, you walk free. FACT.

And yes, I have been in the court system, not that it makes me an authority - anyone with even half of a brain knows that you cannot get tried on heresay.

The police make an allegation and then if they are convinced, they lay charges.

The charges are heard in the court during what is called a preliminary hearing. If the charges are found to have merit, it progresses to court where the prosecution and defence both have to face a magistrate or judge.

*shakes head*

do you even have anything resembling a clue or do you just pull this stuff out of your arse at random?

-D

EDIT - Read this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presumption_of_innocence and please note the bit where it says "ei incumbit probatio qui dicit, non qui negat (the burden of proof rests on who asserts, not on who denies)"

The Victorian State Government

After many parts of Victoria were ravaged by severe bushfires, resulting in widespread damage and the loss of 173 lives, the beautiful side of humanity shone brightly as people from all over Australia and indeed the world rallied together to help the people affected by what is probably Australias worst ever natural disaster. However, true to form, the Victorian State Government, notorious for its use of spin, photo opportunities and a distinct unwillingness to carry out projects that are worthwhile and useful, has struck again with its beaureacratic bungling. Two weeks after the bushfires ravaged areas such as Kinglake, Marysville and parts of Gippsland, Premier John Brumby fronted the media and announced what appeared to a very generous and well needed set of support structures, grants and assistance packages to be offered to help affected people rebuild their lives. However as is so often the case whenever the state government hands out money, potential recipients soon discover that things aren’t always what they are cracked up to be. A perfect example, the Bushfire Relief Tradesperson grant. This is one of many grants on offer by the government through Centrelink to affected people. Put simply, it is a grant offered to tradespeople who can claim this grant to cover the cost of lost tools and equipment that might be considered vital to their work and their ability to earn a living.

Naturally, quite a number of tradespeople including builders, plumbers, electricians and mobile motor mechanics lost everything in the fires, including their work vehicles, tools and equipment. The grants were supposed to help these people purchase new tools and equipment, and allow them to get back to work as soon as possible. However, many of the potential recipients have been knocked back due to a nasty and somewhat poorly thought out clause that is attached to the provision of the Tradesperson Grant. To claim the grant, the applicant must provide a details and a signature of their employer, and it must be someone other than themselves. That poses quite a problem, in that the vast majority of affected trades people are self employed, and are ineligible to receive the grant. So at least for self employed tradespeople, it seems that the governments offer to help them was nothing more than a convenient photo opportunity in front of the media, and for this John Brumby has been receiving quite a bit of criticism, and rightly so. Hes also on the receiving end of his first ever Friday ****wit Award as the premier of Victoria, albeit an unelected one who most people don’t want in the job anyway. The next state election will be a very interesting time for Victorians indeed.

In Light Of Mounting Speculation, Nobody Gives A F**k About Tiffany Wood

You have got to feel a little sorry for washed up popstars. They get a short taste of fame, success and adoration from the public, and then suddenly its all gone again. And when this happens, many failed pop stars try ever so desperately to cling on to what little profile they still have left in the public eye. So spare a thought for former Bardot singer Tiffany Wood who raised a few eyebrows in the media last week with a rather amusing press release. Bardot were an Australian pop group who had a couple of hits in the early part of this decade and consisted of five female singers. The band was born out of the reality television show PopStars. Of the five original members, the only one to experience any real success is Sophie Monk who turned her hand to acting and has made some inroads in Hollywood, and Katie Underwood who is fast gathering a reputation as a Jazz singer around Melbournes jazz scene. The other three are all gone and forgotten. Tiffany Wood is one of those three. So it was with some amusement that all of the major media outlets, including the major newspapers and commercial television network news offices received a press release from Wood announcing that she was separating from husband Neil Cummins after two years of marriage.

“In the light of mounting speculation, Tiffany Wood wishes to announce that she has separated from her husband, Neil Cummins, after two years of marriage” the press statement began with.

The only problem was that there was no mounting speculation, and nobody really cared. In the end only News Limited made any mention of it, albeit a very brief one, in its daily newspapers, however the other media outlets we suspect simply screwed the press statement up and promptly threw it into the recycling bin. No mounting speculation here though, just the pure fact that Tiffany Wood, you have also received your first Friday ****wit award. Congratulations.

The Only Album We Want You Involved In Is Your Wedding Album

A special mention needs to go to a British marriage counsellor who has given Aussie popstar Peter Andre a very kind offer. But not so much a kind offer to Andre, more so a kind offer to the rest of us. As many of you will be aware, Peter Andre announced he was ending his marriage to Katie Price, also known as Jordan. That was two weeks ago. A week later, and Peter Andre made the announcement that as a newly single man, we was going to go back into the studio and begin work on a brand new album. Of course Peter Andre has a bit of success during the early to mid nineties with hits such as Mysterious Girl and Get Down On It before becoming a has been, and becoming more known for his marriage to probably the most respected pair of breasts in the world. With his newly found inspiration to record music again, a British marriage counsellor, Colin Small, has offered to provide Peter Andre and Jordan with free marriage counselling, to see if they cant iron out the issues at hand and reconcile their marriage. As word around the traps has it, Small is believed to have stated to a magazine that he wishes to provide his services free in the hope of saving Peter and Jordans marriage, and preventing Andre from releasing another album. Thank you very much Colin Small, we at the Friday ****wit office thank you for your very noble attempts to save people from this excruciating prospect, and wish you every success in achieving this goal.

Cool vid, crazy guy and no doubt a very talented driver.

But go back and watch the video again - he does not actually drift ONCE! He powerslides. I see no handbrake, no massive angle early entry. Any idiot can powerslide a powerful car around a corner .... and he calls himself a drifter.

Dave - you just put [vide0]the url[/vide0] to imbed a vid (obviously replace the 0 with o - I had to do that so the text would work)

meh, i dont call the guy anything but skilled. but uh, you dont need a handbrake to drift.

apex clip right at the end is awesome.

uhm... "no image." ?

Had such a random day. Walking through town, gonna chuck a coin in the fountain, and some wanker pushes me!

    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY
