My phone just died, I'm in the market for a new one. What I need is something basic and easy to use, don't want or need a smart phone. Your thoughts would be of interest.

Three men at the top of a slide. Told that whatever they shout as they slide down they'll land in at the bottom. The first man slides down and shouts "Money". He lands in a huge pile of notes. The second man slides down and shouts "women". He lands surrounded by beautiful women. The...

An aquaintance has had 3x 150 watt solar panels installed using 2 x 30 amp regulators into 4x 120amp/hr batteries . Is this best practice or all stuffed up?? -- Edited by Bent Axle Bob on Sunday 14th of June 2015 09:01:26 PM

Hi guys, I know there are a heap of posts regarding solar, but there is so much information in different ways my old head is spinning. So, can someone confirm or correct me please.

"There's good light in Broome"

G'Day all, Well 2 months have whizzed by at a great rate of knots. We travelled through lots of wonderful country, met some really nice people. We even helped a newbie with his awning, he could get it out but didn't know to get it back. He bought the van privately and the owners gave him no instruction or...

Do you want to ask some questions of those who have gone before, (just copied that from the opening post here) So I want to ask: What was the clincher that sent you...

This is a susnset outside Quilpie - taken while on our trip in 2014

Fred was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young' pullets,' and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs. He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced. This took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to his roosters...
