Lollipop people rationalists suck!

In an unbelievable piece of mean-spirited, ham fisted and really stupid bureaucratic posturing, Victoria’s councils and VicRoads made public their plan to replace school crossing supervisers, better known as lollipop people, with flashing lights. Unbeknown to many, lollipop people actually receive a token wage for their troubles, yet some councils and Vicroads thought that this was getting a bit too much. 

I can see how the idea came up. Some bean counter was probably caught in traffic one morning and noticed how the lillipop lady at his local school pushed the button for the traffic lights to turn red and then walked in the middle of the road, flashed her lollipop sign to oncoming traffic and blew her whistle to allow the children briefly in her care to cross carefully.

While any warm blooded human being would praise such people for braving traffic - especially dickhead tradesmen who think a fluro vest and ute makes you immune to having to adhere to a 40km speed limit - this arsehole thought: “Hmm, surely the kids can press the button and we’ll save a few million precious dollars every year,” before wondering why he had trouble farting through his pin-hole of an anus.

Sunshine State my arse!

 

This a rain gauge.

I shit you not I am going to shove it up the arse of any Queenslander who dares make an ill-informed criticism of Melbourne’s weather ever again.

Why does Cricket Australia continue to schedule matches in Brisbane during the middle of its stinking wet season? Isn’t it enough that half the population of Queensland is actually in the Australian team?

Sydney can fuck off in this regard too.
