Hi all, A few times here, and on the other forum, I have seen where people had problems unhooking their caravan from the tow ball. Mainly when the ground is uneven.

A blonde returned home from work and was shocked to find her house ransacked and burgled. She called the police immediately to report the crime. The police operations centre broadcast the call on the channels and a K-9 unit patrolling nearby was the first to respond. As the K-9 officer approached the...

came across one of the stories of S. Kidman and his Cattle Empire. We get Utube on our large home T.V. and I thought that it was a interesting sort of documentary of the man who created an empire. It goes for 50 min, so if you have the time have a look. Jay&Dee https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvHKV...

I am over 70 and the Armed Forces thinks I'm too old to track down terrorists. You can't be older than 42 to join the military. They've got the whole thing ass-backwards....

Coming back from the West two weeks ago the security door sprung open and broke the window alongside the door. After carefully removing the frame I more or less accidently found that lifting the window 'glass' panel straight up allows it to separate from the frame. That means that a replacement 'gla...
