You've got that right Gary.  He has some extremely interesting guests on his programme.  I listen to him whenever I can.  Where I live, that's at 11 am, Monday to Friday.

Can you buy pre-loaded USB sticks ?  I'm assuming if so, you get them at the ABC Shop ?

Don't forget to keep an eye out at Op-shops for Talking Books. 

I got Patricia Cornwells' "Scarpetta" 7-12., and Jeffery Archers' "The Eleventh Commandment." A few weeks ago, for a couple of dollars each. 

Cheers,

Sheba.

Punch Buggy, just make you see the most VW Beetles and red ones is a double punch.

No time for games for us.  

SWMBO is too busy giving instructions & telling me how to drive.

After a bit she goes to sleep so I put on my Aussie folk stuff & sing along.

When SWMBO comes round she reads out aloud all the tourist brochures etc about the area.

 

If the grand kids are with us we do the I spy with variations & guess the color of the next car until they get sick of games.  Then they put on their DVDs or play with their "I" things.

 

I prefer just to watch the country side go by with my favourite music or ABC in the background.

Hysterical Gary and Doug. We're in the ICU waiting room (where we've been since Sunday) and i just read those two replies to my family... It gave us a good giggle during such a ****ty time. I am an avid reader of books, ebooks and audio books and Russ has promised to give at least one audio book a go at the beginning of our trip, hopefully he enjoys it, as he hates reading... I don't understand. Lol. Keep the ideas coming, much appreciated. Julie

She who must be obeyed.
Put on some 60 s music and sing loudly.

We play, guess the next track, we have aHUGE collection of music on TMOF's (The Minister Of Finance) IPod thing.  Now I LOVE my music and have a VERY annoying habit of remembering what the next track of an album is, so, we pick and album and listen to track one, and then we have to guess what the next tune is.  Well, TMOF got P155ed off with never winning so she now puts the music on shuffle!!  I start humming what I know should be the next tune, but because it's on shuffle it never is, TMOF laughs herself silly and I DGAF, passed the time for us. 

Car Cricket is a favorite.

Choose who is 'batting' then every car is one run, every truck/semi/roadtrain is four runs, every coach is six.  

A red car is out with no run.  

Only approaching vehicles count.

Keeps 2 or more folk amused for hours as long as someone , not the driver, keeps count.

Cheers Neil

This is awesome guys, keep 'em coming. Love cricket idea and we've played the number Plate game, but we love hearing all your ideas. TMOF, I wouldn't have gotten but being from the bush and being a self confessed potty mouth, IDGAF or DGAF, I got loud and clear lol. We're not going away till October, but we're away in Rockhampton right now as my Dad is very ill, so some of these games will come in Handy travelling to and from Yeppoon daily to the hospital and for when we eventually go back to Brisbane.

 Sorry Mr D

TMOF = The Minister Of Finance (normally the wife as I depend on her for financial guidance, so she tells me!!)
IDGAF = I Don't Give A F**k (a general term to get a message across VERY clearly that you don not care about something)
DGAF = Don't Give A F**k (slightly shorter version than IDGAF)
DILLIGAF = Does It Look Like I Give A F**k (more of a sarcastic question when somebody is telling you about something your not really interested about)

A few non swear ones could be;

LMAO = Laughed My Arse Off
SWMBO = She Who Must Be Obeyed (normally relates to the wife)
FIGJAM = F**k I'm Good Just Ask Me

Hope this helps out
