The makers of an Australian reality television show are trawling Tasmania for "bogans" to appear in their new comedy. It may not be central casting, but the SBS producers obviously think a classified ad in Wednesday's Hobart Mercury will do just as well. "BOGANS WANTED - For New TV S...

MESSAGE TO THE AUSTRALIAN PUBLIC The federal government will be sending a $1,400.00 rebate to many of us .. If we spend that money at K-Mart, the money will go to China. If we spend it on petrol it will go to the Arabs; If we purchase a computer it will go to Taiwan. If we purchase fruit and vegetables it will...

Hi All I posted in another area that had the heading Mobile Phone, but I wanted to change the heading and couldnt, so I made this new thread.

It occurs to me that travelling is great fun, but there is a lot of free time. At home there are always jobs to be done, so on the road what do you do "for you"? Monica knits for charity, Gary runs his business, Dave socialises - so do you have something of interest that you do, in between sight see...

Well, after a few failed attempts to get away for some 'time out' by myself , it now feels very close to a fresh start happening again. I have just returned home to Adelaide from Sydney with a wonderful Mercedes Benz Campervan. The internal fit out is as if I had planned it myself. The unit is as new, 59,00...

'Fred what?' the officer asks. 'Just Fred,' the man responds. The officer is in a good mood and thinks he might just give the biker a bre...

I'm pleased it's done but I don't think the eye for an eye approach works. I'd have prefered to see them made "incommunicado" for a while.... I wonder did they get their 99 virgins or whatever, what a laugh. I just wonder also why we Aussies keep supporting a culture that condones these acts...

Hi Folks, Dropped into Battery World to get a price on a 100Ah Deep Cycle AGM for the new Jayco Penguin and nearly fell over when the bloke told me the cheapest one he had was $429.00. I did a Google search tonight and found the same battery he was talking about for $315.00 - but it was Alco Batteries who aren...
