I know them feels, Dani.

I had grand plans for a big, pub crawl night with a few mates to welcome Dutch to town.

One mate piked already, one's gone AWOL, and Dutch is now going to be busy until around 9.30 or 10pm.

Can't be arsed drinking alone, so think I'm just gonna go to bed.

There was this robbery in Guangzhou, the robber shouted to everyone: "All don't move, money belongs to the state, life belongs to you."
Everyone in the bank laid down quietly.
This is called "Mind Changing Concept --> Changing the conventional way of thinking".
-------------------------------------------------
When the robbers got back, the younger robber (MBA trained) told the older robber (who is only primary school educated), "Big bro, let's count how much we got", the older robber rebutted and said, "You very stupid, so much money, how to count, tonight TV will tell us how much we robbed from the bank!"
This is called "Experience --> nowadays experience is more important than paper qualifications!"
-------------------------------------------------
After the robbers left, the bank manager told the bank supervisor to call the police quickly. The supervisor says "Wait, wait wait, let's put the 5 million RMB we embezzled into the amount the robbers robbed".
This is called "Swim with the tide --> converting an unfavorable situation to your advantage!"
-------------------------------------------------
The supervisor says "It will be good if there is a robbery every month".
This is called "Killing Boredom --> Happiness is most important."
-------------------------------------------------
The next day, TV news reported that 100 million RMB was taken from the bank. The robbers counted and counted and counted, but they could only count 20 million RMB. The robbers were very angry and complained "We risked our lives and only took 20 million RMB, the bank manager took 80 million RMB with a snap of his fingers. It looks like it is better to be educated to be a thief!"
This is called "Knowledge is worth as much as gold !"
-------------------------------------------------
The bank manager was smiling and happy because his loss in the CINOPEC shares are now covered by this robbery.
This is called "Seizing the opportunity --> daring to take risks!"
-------------------------------------------------
Give a man a gun and he can rob a bank. Give a man a bank and he can rob the world.

When I get back from overseas, I want to buy a new car. Sick of my car now... I want something with a 1.4L-2.0L engine with a turbo. Something like the Volkswagen GTI's.

Anyone know anything about those cars? (or similar). They any good?

IMO, great cars - but if and/or when something goes wrong, it will cost an arm and a leg to get it repaired.

As a doctor, I'm sure money is not an issue - but do you feel comfortable throwing money down the drain, when a Japanese car will do all that the VW does, but with more reliability?
