It's actually Palm Sunday but I'd like to change it to Chicken Parma Sunday instead. 🐓

The fucking F1 cars have been at it since 7 😭 it's basically in my back yard and it's louuuuud

The Grand Pricks.

I'll be honest - I've always thought the GP and car racing in general are kind of stupid. I don't like most sports and similar events, but I wouldn't go as far as to outright call most of them stupid, except the GP. Seems like such a waste of everything. But I suppose it brings in those tourist $$ so it'll be what it'll be I guess

Well without these races we wouldn't have the safety features that modern day cars now have. Thats what I understand of it.

I'm 7 kms away on the north east side of town and I can bloody hear them from here!!!!

[–] Grackle@aussie.zone 5 points 7 months ago

Oh thank God it's not just me. I thought I was going crazy here in Fitzroy North. I thought surely that can't be what I'm hearing.

Docklands here and I can't hear nuffin. About 4km away from the track. I just opened my balcony to check but maybe they're not racing right now either.

I hear children playing in the distance and birdsong 😎

It's one weekend. Grin and bear it. Or buy a ticket and enjoy it for what it's good for. Whichever.

[–] Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 10 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I agree, in context it's totally fine. I'm still allowed to bitch about it each year though

[–] Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 3 points 7 months ago

True. Never let reality get in the way of a good whinge.

I’d take that over the stupid tradies I have here working on gutters. So bloody noisy on the roof it’s disturbing me and I can’t even hear the F1 over them.
