Looking for ride/passenger to Canberra will share costs


special robert

Recommended Posts

I have an old corolla which will make it ok...looking for someone to come with me to share petrol and accommodation. Desperately poor so can only do this with help.

The plan is to drive to Holbrook ...... leave about lunchtime Friday and stay overnight on Friday. Then 3 hours to Canberra Sat morning. Drive back to Holbrook accommodation Sat night.......back to Melb Sunday morning arrive sun arvo.
Petrol about $150 total and accommodation around $90-100 for a two single beds times two nights. So the travel/accom could be done for About $175 each.
Prefer stunningly attractive young blond female companion, however will accept old ugly bastard like myself....or any other Demon mad human being. I've got an old corolla but it'll make it. Would be happy to go in your late model Ferrari or similar.

Any other hair brained scheme to get there considered.

I believe Bitter But Optimistic is driving up from Romsey, you could try him. That said, you might feel more comfortable travelling up with Ivan Milat.

I think Ivan might be otherwise committed. It'll have to be BBO ... scary.

Send pm to Bitter But Optimistic. He can be described as looking like both of the travelling companions you mentioned and is going to Camberra.

good idea. you could even try your luck with his squeeze when he inevitably passes out

assumes old corolla could make it to romsey, but leaving it there overnight would be risky

Ok thanks for that ...sent him a message. Does BBO's really look like that? Poor thing. I might be able to help with some diet and a quiet word about haircare.

classic. nice to have a laugh this morning. has anyone actually seen BBO? i have always been intrigued by his photo and posts. almost worth taking the risk and giving him a lift to find out after making sure he is in the backseat with seat belt firmly on to ensure he or she cannot get aroused on the journey.

No offence intended but your username rings alarm bells for me old mate. ;)

Therein lies the problem, H. It sounds good in theory, but BBO gets to a whole new level of "aroused" when you tie him up, buckle him up, strap him in or strap one on...

Gee I can see the headlines already."Crazed gunman kills GWS...innocent road trip goes awry."

Story Ron Barassi as told to Barrie Bretland and translated into English by Haroun Al Rasheed.

He's changed quite a bit since that avatar pic Special Robert. His tounge piercing has a chain hanging from it linked to a bullring nose ring and he has those weird coral growth horn implants under his thinning forehead (committed Demon). Oh, and he always carries at least 2 full bottles of Heathcote shiraz at any one time plus will undoubtedly correct the spelling in the pm you sent him.

Good luck mate!

Well well. Once again I'm happy to allow Dland's comic genii to make their particularly unfunny remarks at my expense.

Unfortunately I am unable to help "special" out (and it's nothing to do with my rule about poor people and the Merc). Rather I already have two freeloading friends of the squeeze joining me for the roadtrip.

Bad luck for them. All the excitement is activating my old flatulence issue and that persistent fungal problem appears to have reinvented itself.

Could potentially have a spare seat in Piper Comanche, passenger gone down with man flu and if he doesnt get up I will have to introduce someone from the bench to fill the vacancy. Looking like he could be out for 426.

Sorry to detour from the themes of general deviancy, but how good is it to be contemplating crazy road trips to watch Melbourne again? I google mapped how long it would take to drive from my place to the arena before deciding that 14.5 hours driving in a day for a football game would not be on the cards. Still, I'm enjoying the optimism. I'll be disappointed if the crowd volume doesn't favour Melbourne on Saturday.

Correct plus certain other "gear" to ensure exciting night after activities in Cantberra.

BTW Biffen has organised accommodation for me in a place called Fyshwick . He assures me it is a very salubrious area.

It'll certainly be a step or two up on what you're accustomed to BBO.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
