When a dickhead is not a dickhead
The Melbourne Age newspaper today:
(Check out the link for the video)
Dickhead (coarse colloq) a stupid or obnoxious person, especially a man; an idiot.
(Australian Oxford Dictionary)
Tim Pallas has added a new portfolio to his Victorian roads, ports and major projects ministry - dickheads.
But when is a dickhead not a dickhead?
On morning radio, Mr Pallas was willing to use the word to describe motor ace Lewis Hamilton: ''OK, I'll say it. He's a dickhead.''
But by the afternoon, in front of television cameras, he had turned coy.
Journalist: ''Is Mark Webber a dickhead?''
Pallas: ''My view about any particular race driver and their personal qualities I don't think is really the key … anybody who takes action to undermine the road safety message is doing the wrong thing.''
Journalist: ''Is Lewis Hamilton a dickhead?''
Pallas: ''From my perspective he has acted inappropriately.''
Journalist: ''Do you have the courage to back this campaign by actually telling them they're dickheads?''
Pallas: ''It's more important that we reinforce the message here.''
Journalist: ''So he was a dickhead this morning but he's no longer a dickhead now?''
Pallas: ''The pejorative language suited then and it suits now.''
Hang on, didn't he just call Mr Hamilton a dickhead?

Yeah, i can't remember F1 making headlines here in Sydney across all stations on the night before the race.
"hooning" is a really big deal here at the moment.
Last weekend a guy in stolen car being chased by police ran a red light and killed a family (and himself). It's a hot topic at the moment.

That is a pretty big, this has always scared me the most about driving. On another note I got caught by cops doing a burnout, they gave me fair warning and told me to enjoy my movie. My ex was pissed as hell as she just told me not to do it I hate it when they are right.
