A dude was trying to sell me a Camry but I am not confident towing with front wheel drive. Has a...

I just thought I'd throw this in as most of us are either grandparents or parents, something different for us to discuss. I am not suggesting Henson is anything other than a well respected artist who has no intention of hurting anyone. I am not suggesting his photographs are pornographic or anything o...

We have a tent style camper trailer and hubby has put 2 slides inside the trailer which are good BUT could be better.

I think it is a disgrace that you started the Solo forum and now you do...

The driver, a young man in a designer suit, Gucci shoes, Ray Ban sunglasses and YSL tie, leans out the window and asks the cowboy, 'If I tell you exactly how many co...

My first experience driving in mud. It had rained pretty well during the night and for no reason at all I decided to take a short cut, on a road I had never travelled before. Everything was going pretty well until I came to gravel road. I never drive on gravel roads, I always turn back no matter how...

They had issued him a warrant which they had in light of current Knowledge, sent to where he's holed up in Majorca on his arse, He was fleeing from a debt, about the size of the alphabet So Vanstone got in touch with 'Skasey, of The Overdraft'. And an answer came directed in a language unexpected, (And I th...

"Some good news for the economy. President Bush went on a month-long vacation." Jay Leno "President Bush said today that it is our job to vote. That's what he called it, a job. And considering how the economy is going, that may be the only job we have." Jay Leno "President Bu...

Samurai Bank has sharp cutbacks. Ninja Bank had a hit, but remain in the black. Karate Bank, 500 staff got the chop. And something fis...

Just wondered if anyone here has experience with a Kipor generator. Are they as quiet as the Honda and as easy to start? They are a bit cheaper than Honda, but not as cheap as the no-name ones on ebay. I know Dave won't approve, but I've worked out it's the easiest way for me to go, given the equipment I've...

OMG .... have you all noticed that Dave is a GURU. How did that happen !!

Wow ! that photo in yesterdays editorial shows a couple of very brave fellows leaning out over the sides of the boat. Known crocodile infested water, and only having ever seen jumping crocs on the TV, I'd hazard a guess on how easy it would be for them to become a smorgasbord meal. Talking about the edi...
