Lot's of GNs have posted praise for Telstra's mobile coverage, especially in fairly remote areas where a decent signal is difficult to receive. So I'm hoping to hear from Optus users who are happy with the service Optus provides. My ISP uses Optus, and my mobile phone and laptop dongle are part of my wi...

Hello All I have two Shurflo 13lpm pumps fitted to the van. One for filtered water and the other one the other items, eg sink, shower etc. The one on the filter tap had developed a habit of pulsating at irregular times while in use. I have filled the tanks, checked for leakes/loose fittings on the suc...

One paragraph states about choosing the most appropriate section to post in (or words to that effect) and I have noticed of late that a lot of posts/threads seem to be all over the place instead of where they pr...

Warning about Bid-or-Buy Be careful what you buy on Bid-or-Buy. If you buy stuff online, check out the seller carefully. A friend, has just spent $85 plus GST on a penis enlarger. Bastards sent him a magnifying glass. The only instructions said, "Do not use in direct sunlight."

Gday... I truly do hope you see what is wrong with the above. And we wonder why this country is going to the dogs ... Cheers - John

Just wondering if others find the same problem. I went searching for a topic the other day and it said it had 17 matches but it only showed 5 of them and I could not see how to access the other 12 items. Anyone know how it can be overcome?

Well, against my better judgement, I went to a Hairdresser again yesterday. I am so upset, angry, and disgusted, as I should have known better. My hair was getting longer, and because I've had some health issues over the last few months, was getting a little hard for me to keep looking neat. Decided to...

Please, please, please do whatever you have to do to avoid this bridge section on the Bruce Highway. They are currently rebuilding the Highway, and traffic conditions are terrifying. The traffic controllers just can't control such a long stretch of the Bruce south of Mackay, and the traffic backs...

One of the things I love about this forum is that every now and again I get to meet up with someone that I've only chatted to previously. Well yesterday I pulled into the Alligator Creek campsite and rang Dougwe - and he came for a visit. It was so good to meet him and we had a great afternoon chatting over c...
