Failure, again.
(Preview)

The coach, Nathan Buckley, said in his post match appearance on TV, "that we have a culture problem" I would venture to say that there is a lot more to this than a culture problem. I t...

Milo Aviation
(Preview)
Hi all,, Having just read the listing from Milo regarding the rebirth of his airline, I went on to the Wikepedia site for the Cessna 208b. They list all the airlines that have these airplanes but, Milo, your outfit is nowhere to be seen!!!! I trust that you will correct this oversight forthwith.

How do you get your news?
(Preview)
I've found that in retirement, one tends to spend a bit more time keeping up with current events. For local news etc we rely on the local daily newspaper delivered every morning. It contains mostly local news and gossip, births and deaths plus local advertisments. Sunday papers are now full of go...

Solar Rebate slashed

How many people, like me signed up for solar panels for their home in WA between mid 2010 & mid 2011 partly due to the govt promise of 40 cents per unit Feed In Tariff for 10 years?

This may be somewhat superfluous. There are, I'm sure many of out there who are not full, or even part time at this stage, nomads but are happy to offer their hospitality to any nomads passing by.
