These days do not have to be accumulative, if not used there gone each year. If used you only get the 8. The rate of pay can be adjusted to help cover these days, pays for casuals...

Greetings. This morning I switched on my water pump to use the water in my van tanks after disconnecting my mains water connection. Instead of the water coming out of my sink tap when I turned the tap on, water started to come out of the mains inlet pipe where I connect my mains water hose. There was still a...

Is it any coincidence that the original Covid ship landing on our shores was the Ruby Princess and now with everything up and running again with cruising we have another one docked here again under similar circumstances being the Coral Princess.

Hi all. I stopped using my Edecoa 2500w pure sine wave inverter to charge my Oralb toothbrush after it blew the charger on two. Today I used the inverter on my 200w slow cooker regrettably coz it's blown the electronics board on that too. The element and fuse that's on the board test ok. Anyone know of an i...

I didn't say anything about it to my wife...

There is regular burn offs along both sides of all the roads as well as through all the National Parks dependin...

My car was pretty good acoustic wise, but I wanted to improve it regardless. Still going to do a bit more when I find the time, but it is really not absolutely necessary.
