Sydney’s 24hr bus strike chaos

How did you cope with getting to and from work with the bus driver strike in Sydney? Were you able to make it on time? Or were you just able to make it at all?

Just like Spoonman on Triple M said this morning, there is no need for the driver’s to inconvenience hundreds and thousands of regular everyday commuters simply because of something between the Government and them.

At least it was on a Friday… although good luck getting a bus home at night!

Plus on a brighter note, were you aware you could drive in a bus lane?

… And at least there weren’t any d*ckhead drivers cutting into your lane claiming you should ‘give way’ even though you can’t and then almost causing an accident … *here ends whinge*

Worst Christmas Present Ever

Well it certainly is beginning to look a lot like Christmas and TheSuburban.net wants to know what is your worst Christmas present ever?

Have you been the one to give or receive the gift? If so, why did you buy it? And what did you do with it if you didn’t like it?

More importantly, what was the gift?

Tiger’s fall into the Woods

Wow… isn’t it amazing what could happen to one person within less than a month. We don’t need to explain Tiger Woods’ situation because you’re probably already aware of it. But seriously, isn’t it surprising how so much can change in such little time.

Do you still feel the same way about Tiger Woods now as you did before? Or has he fastly become the same as what former cricketer Shane Warne did when his scandal was made public?

All that can be said is that it just goes to show that even Tiger Woods is still only human.

… Oh and if you’ve got any funny emails or ‘Tiger-jokes’ feel free to share them with us …

Schoolies… IT’S ON!!!

Schoolies 2009 is well into swing and we want to know you’re funny (and memorable) Schoolies stories.

Did you have that one guy in the group that would always end up getting way too drunk… or having way too much bad luck with the ladies? Or was it in fact you?

Share with us your Schoolies stories. Oh, and are/were you a toolie?

Britney Spears lip syncing

You would’ve seen it all over the news… Britney Spears coming to town, but not singing live (for most of the time). With some fans paying up to AU$1500.00 to see her perform – and she’s lip syncing!

Is there a problem with this or not? Would you still see her live?

Poor Britney, she’s not the only singer to do it – so why pick on her…

A ‘Shocking’ win… And our P.M. picked it!

Shocking has won the 2009 Emirates Melbourne Cup!

How did you go? Did you pick this horse as a favourite? Well, the funny thing is that our P.M. Kevin Rudd announced that his pick was… you guessed it… ‘Shocking’.

Did anybody do anything about it? Did more people back it just because K-Rudd did?

Here’s the results from the race:
1st: Shocking
2nd: Crime Scene
3rd: Mourilyan
4th: Master O’reilly

So… how much did you win (or lose)?

“Charlie Bit Me” – Now YouTube’s No.1 clip

Believe it or not but the clip above has just become YouTubes most watched video. Currently sitting on a little under 300 million views, it was originally added simply so that the boys relative overseas could see them. He obviously wasn’t the only one to get the memo.

The seagull making news

Channel 9 Melbourne newsreader Peter Hitchener was doing the usual nightly news bulletin when all of a sudden a random seagull appeared on screen behind him. It would’ve given many viewers the shock of their lives with the size of the bird (because it was close-up to the camera, it was friggin’ huge!!).

The poor guy - he was probably wondering why everyone was laughing at him.

Michael Jackson’s new song: Your verdict.

Michael Jackson’s new song This Is It has just hit the streets.

Well… is it another Thriller? Will it reach number one on the charts? Or will it just do heaps well because he’s no longer with us?

This Is It… is ‘this it’ – meaning is it the first and last time you’d like to hear the song?

Hey Hey ‘Red Faced’ after racism claim

It was the second of two Hey Hey It’s Saturday reunions and the skit above has now apparently offended some and has been named as being racist. Or was it? The ‘Jackson Jive’ performed back when Hey Hey was in its prime and came back to perform as part of this recent reunion. Unfortunately, one of the judges, Harry Connick Jr found it to be racist and would not have been part of the show if he had known it would include this act.

Is it racist? Or is it yet another case of political correctness gone bananas?
