Talk about getting older. I found my first grey pubic hair yesterday, normally these things don't worry me, but it was in my Big Mac.

Hi everybody, I just wanted to alert you all to the fact that I have now created an “I digress …” forum page (the one that was going to be called fireside chat). This is the place where off-topic is on-topic and anyone can discuss anything (except no politics or religion, please! It just never ends well)....

OK all you well-read folk out there, can you please explain the link between Telstra and Bigpond? I believe they are part of the same corporation. One does phone and one does internet. Apparently not. Today I learned Telstra handles a pre-paid internet account and if I open this account I can't have...

CHEWING GUM! An Australian man was having a coffee and croissants with butter and jam in a cafe when an American tourist, chewing gum, sat down next to him. The Australian politely ignored the American, who, nevertheless started up a conversation. The American snapped his gum and said, 'You Austr...

A police officer pulls over a speeding car. The officer says, ' I clocked you at 120 km/h, sir.' The driver says, 'Christ, officer I had it on cruise control at 100, perhaps your radar gun needs calibrating.' Not looking up from her knitting the wife says: 'Now don't be silly dear, you know that this car...

Hi everyone, just thought I would say hello, we are new to the forum, have just retired and looking forward to doing a lot more travelling now. and we will get to it when the rain stops, although we have nothing to complain about, we are safe and dry as is our house, not like a lot of poor folk who are having t...

Just had a call from a person purporting to be from Windows Operating Systems, stating that my computer had generated a lot of errors etc., due to something she said I didn't understand (hearing problem, can't follow "singsong" voices) - anyway - I told her I would get some other advice - sh...

My wife and I are heading off on a 7 month tour in June 05 travelling via Alice, Kakadu, Darwin, Broome, Perth and then home. Along the way we want to go in and see the Bungle Bungles but are unsure as to where to leave our caravan for a few days and go camping in our tent to look around. Has an...

Just thinking of buying a portable toilet for when we at free camps. Any suggestions re the brands? And are they heavy to lift etc when liquid is in the base?I imagine they can be emptied before moving on after perhaps 24 or 48 hours at the camp? Just an unknown subject ... lol :)

Hello Everyone, I am a bit confused on travel bugs post "ma". It says there are 53 replies. How come when counted there are only 30? How did I lose the other 23? thanks. rocket n strop

If a man is alone in the dim dark jungle and talks to himself to ward off boredom... is he still wrong???

The front page story of woman missing in Kakado, presumed taken by a crocodile is the stuff of nightmares, just terrible. Please, everybody, when camping remotely, stay safe!

Re Ma Post. (I hope you don't mind Ma) Before I start I apologise to Cindy and all here for this not being to do with Caravans etc but it is to do with Grey Nomads or at least one Grey Nomad and that is the name of the Website. I am also NOT looking for sympathy in any way. Now, I lost my wife to cancer in May 2011 af...
