Not really sure if this should be here, health forum or cooking tips, but I thought more interested people may see it here. As a diabetic and pensioner who does like a beer, I really object to paying $40.00 per case. To make good low carb low alcohol beer simply use 250 grams of dextrose, instead of the w...

Should you be in a cane toad invested area, please help to eradicate some, go to canetoadterminators.weebly.com for some information. All you need is a good torch, tongs and a plastic bag . Once the toads are in the plastic bag tie a knot and let them sufficate.

A camper trailer followed which had boring solid canvas and no...

It was a great gadget and b...

At last! At long last! I'm doing the miles again. Yesterday I pulled out of Cairns after 2.25 years, 2 operations, and my health restored. What was planned to be a 2 week stay was ever so slightly extended by a very dedicated doctor and her associated specialists. For that I'm forever grateful. I met...
