Ruthie from Wexford the small town gossip and self-appointed monitor of church morals, was always one to stick her nose into other people's business. Most members of the congregation did not approve of her intrusions, but she was feared, so all maintained their silence.She took that fatal step too...

We own a Jayco Starcraft with the "pull-out" mattress. The issue is that the sheets and blankets invariably migrate towards the end of the bed during the night. We are forever having to pull them back up. I suspect it has something to do with the fact that there is nothing under the end on the mattress. Ha...

I am currently in the process of setting up the monitor for the new van's rear camera. The auto electrician has told me that the cable will protrude from the driver side windscreen pillar so that the monitor can be connected and mounted by suction cap to the windscreen. This seems to me that it is going t...

We have just purchased an item from rvtek http://store.rvtek.com.au/ we made a mistake when ordering, so organised to swap for what we really wanted. Tina and Mike were excellent to deal with. Our order arrived the day after we ordered it. Can highly recommend.

A while back on my trip to Darwin, I saw 2 native Australians trying to flag me down. They were standing beside a badly beat up vehicle. This was about 20 kms short of Coober Pedy. They had broken down and wanted a lift to Coober Pedy. I stopped and one got into the passenger side next to me and the other got in...

This one is precious. I smuggled my Budgie into a Big 4 caravan park. I forgot to declare Dickie Whacker, my pet Budgie before entering the park. They did not kick me out, they are just insisting that the budgie is not allowed to be taken out of the van! That means that I can't sit outside reading, doin...

A Jew and an Arab go into a bakery. The Arab steals three pastries and puts them in his pocket. He says to the Jew, "See how slick I am? The owner didn't see anything." The Jew says to the Arab, "That's typically dishonest of you Arabs. I am going to show you an honest way to get the same result." He goes to t...

Presumably it would be wise to try to keep water, dust etc out of the ends of the 4 pin camera cables when they are not connected. So what do you use to achieve this? Have been unable to locate a screw on cap. Thanks in advance
