It said, "this is not working. I'm going to my mothers." I opened the door. The light came on. The beer was cold. Just what in the hell did she mean?

Two female teachers took a group of students from grades 1, 2 and 3 for a field trip to Flemington Racecourse. When it was time to take the children to the 'bathroom', it was decided that the girls would go with one teacher and the boys would go with the other. The teacher assigned to the boys was waiting...

So far I've had 3 radiation treatments at ROC. That's the name of the clinic here in Hervey Bay. So far so good. I felt a bit nauseous yesterday arvo so took a pill and a lie down.

Do you remember. Back in the 50's the "daring" motion pictures were few and far between. In '55, a picture called "Male and Female" was released. One had to be 12 years old to get in. It was segregated!!?? Anyway, we all ranked up with a "deena" clutched in the fist. Even at that age, it was a bit of a let down...

G'day! They reckon that the 70's was the decade that fashion forgot!? Hang on. In the fifties, young blokes shirt were, Presley Purple, Sinatra Red, (Guy) Mitchell Blue, Shocking Pink and Tangerine!!!

I was discussing this with some friends recently and we all have copies of Camps books, I have several but none of us use them as we are all converts to Wiki Camps which has information that is much more current and in more detail than the Camps books. Do the Camps books still get printed and do you still use...

G'day!. Problem is, dust getting into my Mazda T 3500 m/home. It was two years ago, while working with Blazeaid in N/W Qld, the trips in and out of the properties, which still in drought, caused my "home" to get very dusty. I'm talking about hardly being able to see out the back window while travelling....

Now, both are less than half their size, but the price has more than doubled! "Uncle Tobys" wheat biscui...
