Being a frequent flyer on Virgin Australia I get free seats with extra leg room, which includes those in the emergency exit. Sat in one of these on the way back from Sydney I was not allowed to wear my noise canceling headphones during take off and landing? So to be clear, with the plane hurtling towards the ground, with an oxygen mask bouncing off my head and the entire plane screaming, upon impact I fail to hear the cabin crew shout “evacuate, evacuate”. This is because I have been distracted by listening to Bucks Fizz singing “Making Your Mind Up”. Idiots.

Went into the chemist to buy some paracetamol for the first aid boxes at work. Unfortunately I can only buy 2 at a time to address the possibility that I may be attempting to top myself? So to be clear, having reached the depths of despair and unable to cling to life for another single day, my life has been saved by obviously being unable to motivate myself to overcome the insurmountable challenge of leaving the shop and popping into Woolworths next door to buy another couple of boxes? Idiots.

The last first aid course that I went on, I was told no pills or potions. Paracetamol? No chance. It will filter its way down under in due course.

Here's a good one from drving in the fatherland, I've converted it to drivign ont he correct side of the road for the expample.
If you are driving on a main road through a built up area, if there is someone waiting to join the main road from a side road on the left you must stop and let them onto the main road. It causes absolute fúcking chaos at busy times.

I know that they used to do that, for whatever reason, but has that now become law?

Stepping aside from the sad death of Harry, why do the Yanks insist on driving on the wrong side of the road on their airbases? This has caused me problems in the past , at Molesworth, when the guard told me where to go, (have a nice day sir) and said fukc all about driving around the base. Next thing I know, theres a missile carrier bearing down on me. And he wasnt stopping. I learnt my lesson when I went to Alconbury. At about 10 miles an hour.

I fell foul of that one a few times.

That used to confuse me as well, when I was on the yank bases.

I think it's because, like embassys, I think you're technically in American controlled land. You're right though, it's very silly though especially when you consider that we're dealing with American brains.

They do the same with currency, using US Dollars wherever they are in the world on their bases.

And a little tip for anybody in the future, going anywhere near the USA, get your travellers cheque made up in dollars, not sterling. It will save you a lot of problems. I have experience in this matter.

The technically difficult challenge of turning right from the left lane in the Melbourne CBD becomes an impossibility for all American tourists. Should be forced to drive with flashing lights, a siren and a “warning US national” sign nailed to the top of the car?

Was that considered as a factor in the death of Harry Dunn?

No, but as a general observation countries that drive on the right seem to find driving on the left more of a challenge than vis-versa? Probably because the left side countries are forced to change more frequently I would guess?
