How to do it
(Preview)
Can somebody please tell me in Kindergarten language, how to add a photo at the bottom of a comment. The photo is stored in My Documents. I tried the Attach File(s) button below, but didn't get anything, apart from the blue bar stretching across the page but nothing where I want it.

A Day to Forget

Just prior to leaving, with all monies paid up, they were told that they would have to pay an extra $200, as they hadn't given notice of leaving. Am I missing so...

MAJOR ROAD WORKS PACIFIC HIGHWAY
(Preview)
Did I say major? Well there is, 80% of the Pacific Highway from just north of Byron Bay to as far as Port Macquarie. I haven't ventured further south yet.

Maneuvering Vans with Remote Control Wheel Doodads
(Preview)
One of the vans that we looked at the other day has these motors which drive knurled shafts on the van's tyres so you can move them without the car being attached. By the look of it you can just about turn the van on its own axis. I was wondering, how do you go with the jockey wheel? Often, when trying to hand ma...
