The add asks us to have a cup of tea cash raising for Cancer, all good.
Shows adults trying to look like a tea pot , ok but not me ok?

Dear Jewely,

My kids, nieces and nephews are all country kids so being cool is not a high priority, having a laugh rates pretty well though and this is what it is all about.

The term country kids use for the city 'cool' girls is 'girlie girls' a serious putdown if you thought you might be a little above something like planking.

Plus drifting sounds great. My two are pretty good at getting a paddock bomb going sideways at a fair rate of knots but doing it on bitumen would be something else. Good on you for agreeing.

Here is a little bit of Saudi drifting.

Hey Csteele, that was an amazing clip. The peoples standing on the side of the road watching freaked me out. Inshallah and all that. I recall the roads there mostly being made of concrete which I’m guessing would make drifting smoother/easier. I will get it for the kid as a gift but I'm not going to watch. :)

I don’t reckon young ones whether townie or country win many ‘awesome forward thinking’ awards. Who was it here that keeps wanting the mandatory non-military service because I kinda like the idea.

Yeah me and you Belly were thinking of two different things called tea potting. :P

"I'm a little tea pot..." C'mon you must have done that one.

I thought the drifting was insanity.
From driver and crowd.
Worth taking a look at both the Darwin awards and the fact the woman involved in first post here was planking to show how dangerous it was and why we should not do it.
Few Honorable mentions in the Darwin's on display here.

Jewely,

That's my mate Individual.

But didn't we all do something absolutely stupid when we were younger ? Back in the fifties, when I was a kid in Bankstown (well, there you go), we used to wait at a road junction and wait for the lorries (trucks) to slow down and run up behind them and grab onto that bar they tie the ropes to and swing up and put our feet on the spare tyre while they accelerated away. We got a lot of skinned knees and hands that way.

One time, me and my younger brother went up to the flooded quarry in Chullora and got on a railway sleeper and pushed ourselves out into the 50-metre deep water. My mum says some guy jumped in and pulled us back to the side but I don't remember. Of course we couldn't swim then.

Although we risked not contributing to our gene pool, it was great fun ! Well, for seven-year-olds. I don't think I've learnt much since.
