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...

Try telling this one after you have had a couple! A cop stops a Harley for traveling faster than the posted speed limit, so he asks the biker his name. 'Fred,' he replies. '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...

Some Math +Logic: Here is a little something someonesent me that is indisputable mathematical logic. (It alsomade me Laugh Out Loud.) Remember, this is a strictly mathematical viewpoint. Itgoes like this: What Makes 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%? Ever wonder about those people wh...

Knocked me down flat yesterday with aload of nonesense given to me from an Inspector at the Adelaide Government Vehicle Assesment Garage. Here in this backwards state anything which is legal in any other state of this nation becomes illegal here. I purchased a Campervan from Sydney, drove it home wi...

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...

A Blonde goes to Bed Bath & Beyond to buy curtains. She tells the clerk, 'I would like to buy a pair of pink curtains. 'The clerk assures her that they have a large selection of pink curtains. She shows her several patterns but the blonde seems to be having a hard time choosing. Finally she selects a lo...

Watching Top Gear last nightI was alittle repulsed to see one of the Drongoes relieving himself complete with paperwork and then just walk away.I dont know if it was supposed to be funny or not,certainly was not a good example of how to treat the Bush.Well thats my whinge.Cheers Ibbo.

A while ago I was diagnosed with the need for a CPAP machine, DVA very generously provided one with the ability to run on 12VDC as well as 240AC. As I now have a dog and a desire to stop independently of mains power I thought I'd get the 12 volt lead for the CPAP machine only to be told that they don't run on 12 vo...

went to the quack last night (true story) big old mongrel he was, yellow nicotine stained moustache, big old gnarly grizzled hands the size of dinner plates, food stain on the shirt, scruffy hair, trousers up to his armpits, come from the dark ages, he came out to the waiting area, which I might add see...
