"I digress ..."

Big Gorilla · Big Gorilla

I just joined "Pick This Place" Forum recently and it occurred to me maybe we should start another guessing game and call it "Who is This". We could post photos of famous people and you have to guess who they are. If we can get enough starters I will e-mail the Webmaster with a req...

I saw this elsewhere, I make a post; "The poster below me has a cat..." Then the poster below me answers, "No I don't but the person below me has a cat." Can be a yes answer too, but just keep the ball rolling, and remember as well as answering ask a question too. I'll start; "T...

Just received an email from a company I have shares in. Big takeover deal from a major U.S. Uranium and Rare Earths company. Energy Fuels, Denver. As a result of the recent meetings with the U.S. to supply Rare Earths. Likely to be a boom in my local area now. There has been a big rare earth field under dev...

Well Dmaxer, the first game approaches ever closer, have replenished the grog cupboard in anticipation of long sessions in front of the tv. What will my learned friend be doing? Will he discard the wig and gown for more comfortable attire? (not the Budgie smugglers I hope?)

My trusty 2014 Isuzu Dmax is approaching the 200K mark and (touch wood) has not missed a beat to date. I have the services done every 10K with oil and filter changed and if I have been doing any significant amount of towing my 2.2 tonne van during that period then I have the oil and filter changed at 5K. I don...

I wanted to send some sort of holiday greeting to my extended family, friends, and so called friends, but it is difficult in todays world to know exactly what to say without offending someone. With this in mind I met my lawyer yesterday, and on his advice I wish to say the following: Please accept, with...

Is it time we banned guns full stop? No more recreational hunting. Or at least, ban semi automatic guns...single round only and only kept at a gun club under lock and key. Farmers except, but only a limit of two single round guns. Absolutely, no need for guns in the community. John Howard did a good job, b...

I note that our resident lawyer has been absent on here of late. I hope that nothing untoward has befallen him. In view of the fact that a very important cricket match is due to take place tomorrow and his views on it would be appreciated, I ask the question; "Dmaxer, wherefore art thou Dmaxer?" (Apolog...

I suggest that an Adventure Truck category be added to the website. Ordinary motorhomes do not have the clearance or the strength to handle the rigours of off road travel in the outback but there is much to see. There seems to be more adventure trucks around these days. Mr GRUMP[Y
