Any-one going to the Gem-fest this weekend ? Cheers, Sheba.

I need to pick your collective brains. I have to cover our van as it has sprung a leak and I can't find where from & can't afford to get it fixed professionally. The 2 eBay links below are for 2 different covers. One says it's heavy duty & seems the better one (though that may be just advertising bs)...

For the 2nd time in 3 days the Bruce Highway is closed due to a major truck accident. This morning involved 2 trucks with one driver being killed. There is debris across the road I have been told.

Watching TV? Sat at the table. You know the problem. After a while your bum goes to sleep and you get back ache. Why not lay on the bed? If you're like me no matter how many pillows you put behind your back you can't get comfortable, and when you do get comfortable you fall asleep. I've found the answer! It's...

The Defective Parrot. A guy is browsing in a pet shop, and sees a parrot sitting on a little perch. It doesn't have any feet or legs. The guy says aloud, 'Jeesh, I wonder what happened to this parrot.?' The parrot says, 'I was born this way. I'm a defective parrot.' 'Holy crap,' the guy replies. 'You actu...

When towing a caravan, do you have the "overdrive " function engaged or not ? One mechanic said you only use it on hilly tows : th...

Has anyone in Grey Nomads ever participated in Geocaching? Geocaching is, and I quote directly from the website, "the free high-tech treasure hunt where you use your GPS receiver to find caches hidden by other players. It's a great way to be outdoors, enjoy the environment and revel in the thri...

Hello everyone, we have two sleeps to go before we set north. Its going to be a bit harder now as today our grand daughter gave birth at 3.50pm to our new great grand son, it was hard enough getting her out of Frankston Hospital Maternity back to the van so we could cryo vac some meat for the freezer so I think...

Grrrr Some of you may remember that I bought the Go Cruise Navigator from Aldi last year. Well it died, so I returned it and got a replacement. All was good until a month or so ago, and this one died too. So today I took it back to Aldi to get a refund. I might add that I've worked in retail, and more particularl...
