A while back I bought a high-ish resolution video camera and, of course, once I did that I discovered all the other (expensive) things I needed to buy to "make the best use of it" - gadget creep. Anyway: one thing you really do need with video is a way to edit it and I've spent the past year trying different v...

Hi all Will need to pay my yearly caravan insurance and wonder if I should look at a different one. The one I am with depreciated the pay out figure by $6,000 in the first year. I really don't think caravans actually depreciate that much. I am with YOUI and I have to admit they have been very good with all ou...

Hi all. I have been a Telstra customer for many years due to their more extensive mobile coverage, especially in remote/regional areas. I am researching a new mobile plan, and find that Optus is much cheaper and give larger data allowances, but how is their coverage? I understand they have improved t...

Woke up 4 weeks or so ago thinking I had been bitten by a spider under my left arm. Itchy as hell & wanted to tear it to pieces. Went to the Dr & tried Cortisone Cream & Penicillin capsules. Neither worked, so today was booked several weeks ago it was cut out today. He casually says "you can go to...

Since then 10 minutes have passed the amount of charge going to Batteries is reducing. D...
