They are some big arse crackers. :P I can just imagine that all falling off though every time you take a bite, would annoy the hell out of me! Looks nice though.

You mean EMT ISN'T running on fumes?! They had something good going for a while, but then they sold-out, and basically jammed the show up their self-endulgent drunken asses.

Shame :(

This.

I also agree with CLSM's Facebook post. The Government want more money, and as fuel is insanely taxed over here, and at record-high prices, why not instigate a bit of scaremongering to make people panic-buy?

Twats.

Who employs the people who are threatening to strike again? And who benefits from panic buying?

it seems to be mainly the Unite Union who represent the tankers..
nobody really benefits that well from the panic buying, as deliverys only come on set dates, and once that fuel is gone that petrol station stops making money.
the government may slightly benefit from the any animosity that arises toward tankers because of the situation and possible strike..but can suffer from any advice they give out; if they say nothing and there is a strike..they'll be blamed for being complacent..if they say something and morons panic buy they'll be accused of mishandling the situation.
I feel it was the medias fault personally, they latch on and create mountains out of molehills..and panic buyers out of sheeple.

everything has calmed down now at the pumps (wonder if people will have learnt their lesson?)

this an interesting article, and the comments below also insightful!

The Government instigated, the media propagated, and the consumers bought it. End of.

*edit*

Technically, yes. You're right. But this whole situation COULD have been avoided by sitting around a table and dealing with it head-on. What does the Government do?......

they gave out pretty sound advice imo, I listened to it and didn't panic.
they were pretty much damned if they did, damned if they didn't - they had to react as the unions had come out and said publically what they were going to do.
