Yet to take advantage of it but it would sure beat the **** out of gum leaves
As for gum leaves, you are missing out on giving your blurter that nice eucalyptus smell.
We shouldn't stop there. I think Van must have been inspired to write songs by Kathy in a premonition. For a Van Morrison Kathy Watts Tribute Compilation Album you could have:classic1 said:.....do you remember

Anyone who knows anybody who was hurt or damaged in that incident tell them to PM me.Gusboh said:
The Civil Liability Act that limits damages for Torts in NSW does not apply to an intentional tort which is what this road rage was.
That idiot can be sued and damages no matter how small will be awarded, plus legal costs.
The kicker is he/she is uninsured for those sorts of actions so it won't be paid by an insurer and must come out of their pocket.
A criminal penalty is one thing, and some dopey magistrate might let them off with a warning - that's happened before. Getting sued by 20 people or more might make a few motorists take notice.
Heck I'll do it for free!!!!
Only last week on my usual Satdee morning Eastern suburbs La Perouse ride some goose in green P's tried to "teach me a lesson" by pushing me out of the bike lane then near Centenniel Park some idiot red P driver blew her horn at my cycling companion because he had the temerity to use the road in front of her.
I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore!
woodduck over at TOP was on the ride. He has no damages claims, except those which would be covered by punitive damages, and as i understand it punitive damages don't exist in Aus. He might have names and numbers though...46kgToDate said:
You might want to try to get in touch with Ben Kersten, he seemed pretty fired up by the whole thing. I'm sure someone here knows someone, who knows someone.
Only problem i can see is that there is absolutely no way that a pelican like him will have enough money to cover 50k plus of bikes and another 50k in medical costs. How is that handled? Govt pays out straight away, and they take his wages/pounds of flesh?
No Gusboh I'm not talking about punitive damages, just ordinary damages. ButGusboh said:
1. Punitive damages are available in australia and in NSW - they're just not covered by any insurance policy sold here and judges award it all the time
2. These are just ordinary damages for cost of replacement of damaged bike and parts, that is still available. Pain and suffering for bruises and cuts were taken away by the Civil Liability Act because ambulance chasers were putting in $2,000 claims against councils for people who stubbed their toes on curbs and making $8,000 in costs on those dodgy little claims. So the rule is now you have to be 15% of most extreme case before you get your pain and suffering. BUT s3B(1) excludes the CLA where the injury was intentional. What that driver did was intentional, so CLA doesn't apply and they can all bring pain and suffering claims and would all qualify for punitive damages if they can establish is was road rage, and heck it sure looks like it to me!
Re Pelican aspect. Pricks like that deserve to be bankrupted or have thier salary garnisheed or something, we need to send a message.
I AM STILL VERY CRANKY AT THAT *****
sorry for shouting
