Before placing a very small selection of items for sale in the 'General Forum' or risk upsetting our good lady webmistress Cindy.

Yesterday I had an appointment to see the urologist for a prostate exam. Of course I was a bit on edge because all my friends have either gone under the knife or had those pellets implanted. The waiting room was filled with patients. As I approached the receptionist's desk, I noticed that the reception...

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...

A SPANISH Teacher was explaining to her class that in Spanish, unlike English, nouns are designated as either masculine or feminine. 'House' for instance, is feminine: 'la casa.' 'Pencil,' however, is masculine: 'el lapiz.' A student asked, 'What gender is 'computer'?' Instead of giving the ans...

RETIRED HUSBAND After I retired, my wife insisted that I accompany her on her trips to Target. Unfortunately, like most men, I found shopping boring and preferred to get in and get out. Equally unfortunate, my wife is like most women - she loves to browse. Yesterday my dear wife received the followi...

I seem to remember from some time back that there were posts about adding rest area waypoints from the Camps books into a GPS. I have searched this site but can't find a reference. Googling hasn't got me far either. Can anyone help please?

Burdekin Tyre Service, on the Bruce Highway just south of Ayr - good service, good pricing on tyres for the motorhome. Also do mechanicals I see.

I know that's a lot of highway to ask about, but wondering if there are huge mountains to climb along the way? We plan on carrying up to Woolongong.

No doubt, a lot of GN's have vehicles with duel wheels on the rear. If you are going to get a flat at the back, you can bet it's an inside one.
