OK... I've removed all the superfluous posts, could everyone please KEEP ON TOPIC and remember to treat other members with respect. Thank you. asy.

Geoff... Go out and source the book: Oh the Places you'll go. By Dr Seuss. It's his last book, and clearly his best. It's prophetic. Give each girl a copy. Make them READ it. Twice. Good luck to you and them! asy :D PS: HERE is a link to the text, but it's much better...

Not sure where you are, but there's a pot place on Kessels Rd (just near the corner of Main Road) in Mt Gravatt, called Linda's pots. I've never been in there, but they tout having "the largest range of pots in Brisbane" and certainly if their display is anything to go by have some doozies...

OK! I'm online properly again!!! I posted my saga at WHIRLPOOL I ended up going with LIZZY internet They have been fantastic. Andrew has them down on the farm (dialup) and he's found them great. The CEO of Lizzy (and AOL, Australia On Line) Michael Bethune posts on Whirlpool, and that...

Well, what an interesting day... Got home tonight to no internet. Nada. Nothing. Tried rebooting everything, and air-gapping everything (as ya do), but still, nada. So, I ring Dodo. Now, I've been with Dodo since the month they started in Melbourne, years ago. Service has been...

Thanks guys. I tried the iSelect website before I asked (I should have said that, sorry) but it only seems to cover a few insurers. I used to have GMFHealth insurance, and found them quite good, but I thought I'd have a look around before re-insuring. asy :D

I'm looking for a new health insurance fund, and I'm hoping you might be able to help me find what I'm looking for. I'm looking for a fund which: Has Single Parent cover (not really interested in paying 'family' which includes 2 adults, as it's just me and 2 kids). Has an obstetric...

LAA is right (from my also-vague memory)... Firstly, if you gave the agent notice in writing that they could only sign a 6 month lease, then they were outside their purview to sign more, and it's invalid. You should be able to get it re-signed to a 6 month lease, but, as LAA said, there is...

That's what I meant, how are we supposed to GUESS that they've had a family emergency... Had the same thing happen again LAST WEEK... Well, to my cousin-in-law... I organised a friend of mine to do the cleaning contract at his student rental, but she suddenly just didn't show up. Three...

I had a similar thing happen to me. A carpenter/builder I was using on a reno disappeared. Just left the job, and didn't come back. And yes, he left tools on the job. I waited and waited. I felt awful and didn't know what to do... What if I get another tradey and this guy turns up? How long am...

I can't BELIEVE none of us thought of that!!! Bloody good idea, though... asy :D

Looks gorgeous Geoff! Only thing I'd maybe try is the "Subway" sign under the counter (the one on the left), what would it look like in the middle panel, instead of the right hand panel? I wonder if that'd look more balanced? OR maybe put another one in the left panel and have three of them...

HAH! Yeah, well, you saw the extent of my Swedish, in the thread title... It's pretty much limited to what I've learned from the Swedish chef... mork mork mork... hehe Seriously, though, I'm learning lots of words trying to translate this book, there's no way I could use them in a sentence...

Thank you SO Much! I'll make a list of the most urgent words I need and send them on. asy :D

Well, I have a little problem... I'm trying to translate a book from Swedish to English, and am coming up with some problem words. The book is a "family history" of my maternal Grandfather's family, and goes back to about the mid 500's, but, it's written in Swedish. The main problem is...
