One night a police officer was staking out a particularly rowdy bar for possible DUI violations. At closing time, he saw a fellow tumble out of the bar, trip on the curb, and try his keys in five different cars before he found his. Then he sat in the front seat fumbling around with his keys for several minu...

I tried most of the large insurers and had quotes as high as $1800 down to $570. I found Ken Tame too difficult as he wanted an indepe...

After experiencing the 'BIG WET' in Queensland I have headed down to country NSW. The region is Bathurst and am visiting friends who have a farm just out of Oberon. The weather started out great with beautiful sunshine and thankfully cooler weather. However it was not long before the rain was fall...

Hope I'm in the right spot here if not I will delete and put where it should be. One of friends over in Tassie has just bought a business called Rebound Books. I'll put a link to the website if anyone wants to have a look at what's on offer. You can buy online and have sent to where ever you live or have them post...

A man was sitting on a plane, trying to complete his crossword puzzle but something wasnt adding up. Four-letter word to describe a female, ending in UNT, he said. The man beside him heard the comment. Try aunt, he said. Oh, said the other man. That makes more sense. Do you have an eraser?

Gday... So, all you Telstra NBN customers - get ya oar in the water before their generosity (or pot of money) runs out. Interesting that now at least ONE of the NBN retailers is 'fessing up to what the community has been bleating about for ages. Wonder who will follow?? http://www.afr.com/technolog...
