A boy and his date were parked on a back road some distance from town, doing what boys and girls do on back roads some distance from town. Things were getting hot and heavy when the girl stopped the boy. "I really should have mentioned this earlier, but I'm actually a hooker and I charge $20 for sex,...

Oh To Be 12 Again... A man was sitting on the edge of the bed, observing his wife, looking at herself in the mirror. Since her birthday was not far off he asked what she'd like to have for her Birthday. 'I'd like to be twelve again', she replied, still looking in the mirror. On the morning of her Birthday, he...

Has anyone stayed at the Coral Coast CP in Garbutt, Townsville. Plan to be up there around 4th Nov, 09 and probably stay for a week, 10 Days. Any comments, advice greatly appreciated. Maybe someone has a better place to stay, only thing is we would want to be fairly close to the RAAF Base. Thanks Ma

One day , the father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the express purpose of showing him how poor people live. They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family. On their return from their trip , the father asked his son , "H...

It has been a while since our last contact but we have been in some very remote areas and e-mail connections are an unheard of thing! Last Friday we went out on the Great Barrier Reef and did some snorkling - great fun!! The trip out to the outer reef was just over two hours and a wee bit rough but the trip...

To see the difference between the two, Google Annona Atemoya ----- Custard Apple. Then Google Annona Muricata ------- Sour Sop. Cheers, xina.

Interesting though the diverse postings on this "Solo Grey Nomads" forum may be, many of them are hijacking a thread which was intended, I believe, to be the preserve of topics of particular interest to the 'lonesome traveler'. Yes, I'm being precious. Yes, I don't like my butter shortca...

The six man tent has been dusted off and aired, the sleeping bags as well. No luxury for us this weekend as we go off camping to Double Island Point. Mick is looking forward to it, as a few of the old army buddies and thier wives are also going. I have already organised a 'few" bottles of sparkling, jus...

Well after a lengthy passage of time, Mike has finally CLEANED THE WAGON!!!!!! 4 (yes thats right!!) vacuum empties later, it now looks like a well loved wagon, totally unrecognisable. On Mike's behalf I wish to apologise to all the GN's (Gayle and Jim, Dave and Jenny, John W and Anne, Gary and Kerry,...

The US standard railroad gauge (distance between the rails) is 4 > feet, 8.5 inches. That's an exceedingly odd number. > Why was that gauge used? Because that's the way they built them in > England , and English expatriates built the US railroads. > Why did the English build them like that...

THE LOVE DRESS A woman stopped by, unannounced, at her son's house. She knocked on the door then immediately walked in. She was shocked to see her daughter-in-law lying on the couch, totally naked. Soft music was playing, and the aroma of perfume filled the room. 'What are you doing?' she asked. '...

Hi everyone. I'm curious to know what the fuel prices are around the states at the moment. Queensland has done away with the 8.5 cent/litre fuel subsidy and upped the price by as much as 25c/litre. What are the other states doing? Cheers Chris

This is my own 'discovery'. Making a Boiled Fruit Cake one day [ on Cape York,] I used Sour-sops instead of Pineapple. Makes a very moreish cake. Lucky if it lasts a day. Cheers, xina. -- Edited by xina on Tuesday 7th of July 2009 06:56:32 PM

A pirate walked into a bar and the bartender said, "Hey, I haven't seen you in a while. What happened? You look terrible." "What do you mean?" said the pirate, "I feel fine." Bartender: "What about the wooden leg? You didn't have that before." Pirate: &qu...

Hi SGN's, made it into Darwin today. Crikey, the roads are absolutely chockkas with travellers. I estimate that at least 50% of the vehicles on the road from Daly Waters to Darwin have been Caravans, Motorhomes or Campers (and I'm probably being conservative). Just about all of the caravan parks in D...

Heading down the highway the other day and saw a classic example of good road manners, I was following a van and he flashed his right indicator for me to overtake , as soon as I pulled out he lifted his foot, (you could see his speed reduction) and then saw his h/lights flash in the offside mirror for me to...
