What we want to know is, do any other Chev Silverado 2500HD 4x4 owners have a side boat loader attached??? One of the dealer...

When we were there the fees were reasonable and water, electricity etc were part of the deal. Since then, the council has put electricity meters on all the permanent sites, raised the rates and...

A true Scotsman This is a true classic.. A young Scottish lad and lass were sitting on a low stone wall, holding hands, gazing out over the loch. For several minutes they sat silently. Then finally the girl looked at the boy and said, "A penny for your thoughts, Angus." "...

How unfortunate this man was, I suppose it could have been his life, but still a tragic accident. For the amount of kegs that have been opened in Oz over the years I have never heard of this happening before, exploding beer bottles yes but never kegs. Be interesting to hear how it occurred.
