The Irish have solved their own fuel problems. They imported 50 million tonnes of sand from the Arabs and they're going to drill for their own oil. _ Two Irishmen find a mirror in the road. The first one picks it up & says, "Blow me I know this face but I can't put a name to it." The second pick...

Hi - I was talking to a chap who said he had all the campsites, caravan parks etc. listed in Camps6 on his GPS. He said it was loaded in by a friend of his.

Hi I'm not sure who it was a while back loking for an awning for a motor home and I thought this link might be of assistance as the price seems a bit less than normal.

After a very busy hour at the doctors today I am now on permanent medication for the first time in my life. Doc told me in January if I didn't get my cholestoral down she would put me on medication, so I did all the right things.

This is the front story for today, and very sad. Was he one of ours and how could it happen? 71 year old Peter Worthington, it says. Seems he left the vehicle after getting bogged.
