Cyclists waste petrol

That comes down to how soon they pulp them, not how much use they get.

They figure 5.8 years for $1s. I'm surprised that $10s are lower. The ATMs
dispense $20s

Interesting. Ours are much more fancy, they
allow you to say what you want notes wise.

One of the chain self checkouts used to just
dispense $20s here and I used that for that
reason instead of an ATM but they have
changed those now and they don't let you
specify what you want, it works that out
for you so you can still get $20s by specifying
you want $40, but you get $50s if you say
you want $50 or $100 etc. That chain has
now closed their store in my town now so
I have to use the other self checkouts.

so I seldom have a $10 very long. Maybe that's what keeps them in play.

Yeah, likely.

Liar.

Yes you are.
Look up the meaning of "everyone".

I'll have to pay more attention the next time. I think you can specify a
number but the selection menu is in $20 increments. The max on the menu
is $200, or sometimes $100 at the smaller kiosks in markets.

I've got the feeling if you said you wanted $57 the machine would make
impolite remarks. Maybe not, since the self service checkouts can make
change with smaller bills. I never thought about it. I just grab $200
and go.

When a cyclist uses a busy road, he slows down all the cars, making them less efficient, using a lower gear, overtaking, changing speed, etc. So you *******s aren't green at all.

Only things bike riders overtake are pedestrians.

p.s. Real men don't ride bicycles, which are for sissies and kids.

Indeed.

Yeah, I'm about to try them all now because I have always
preferred to have $20 notes for the garage/yard sales. $50s
can be a real hassle, particularly given that we show up
at the garage/yard sales before anyone else and hardly
any ensure that they have lots of change. I prefer to use
the self checkouts rather than ATMs just because you
don't normally have to queue for the self checkouts
and there is no chance of a skimmer on the self checkout.

I listened to a few alternatives before I posted the original. I hated them all. Too strong an American accent and just didn't sound right.

Normally the original is always best, but in this case I prefer Disturbed's version to the Simon and Garfunkel Original of "Sound of Silence":

And Rod Stewart equals Creedance Clearwater Revival's "Have you seen the rain":

You're probably not ready for the guy who wrote the song then.

Not as ballsy as one of ours.

Yes I suppose I love senile trolls.
