A bloke walked into the pet store and, after looking up and down the aisles, asked the sales clerk for help. 'I'd like a box of birdseed' 'For which kind of bird?' he asked helpfully. 'Oh, I dunno ... whichever will grow the fastest.'.

Hi, I assume that many members would be aware of the cheaper diesel at the BP Depot in the back streets of Wilcannia. We went there in early June, and were horrified to find it was the same as in the main street. We checked again in late July on the way home, and saved 9 cents per litre. Not sure what went on, bu...

The unit would reach the desired temperature,...
