Hi, I have noticed these advertised recently and was wondering if anybody out there has had any experience with these plugs. Thought the LED function would be handy in providing a quick check that the plug/socket were properly mated. Obviously still have to check that the lights function correctly...

Qantas are about to "liberate" 5000 employees. Can someone tell me what these workers were doing for the past few years? Assuming they were doing something, which services will the "restructured" Qantas now be without? Will their labour be replaced with rob...

I recall my first time with a condom. I was 16. I went in to buy a packet of condoms. In those days it took a lot of guts to go in a store and ask for that kind of item because everyone in town knew me and there was no doubt the young lady (I think her name was Delores) knew what they were for.She was working as an as...

Q: Doctor, I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life. Is this true? A: Heart only good for so many beats, and that it.. Don't waste on exercise. Everything wear out eventually. Speeding up heart not make you live longer; it like saying you extend life of car by driving faster. Want to li...
