I was on TV!!!!!!!! WoW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The timer on my 15 minutes of fame started ticking. They told me that I've got lots more fame minutes left over! :D

Hi All I found this business idea whilst idly surfing. I can't do it because my culinary skills do not extend much past Vegemite on toast (and if you talk to my husband, he'll say that I even burn the toast!) Here it goes: There is this guy who offers a great party idea. This is what...

Reply: 2.2.1.1.1.1.1.1 From: DB Bear I have to disagree with the notion of the rich ones being the ones with the Rolls and the Cadillacs. It seems to me that the wannabes drive around in the flashy cars with the flashy jewellery etc but the fair dinkum rich ones are less ostentatious about...

Reply: 1.1.1.1.1 From: DB Bear Count me in TW. I had a great day! Weather was a bit nippy around the ankles but I was ready with all my snow gear piled on! I'd go even if it was held in Siberia - and you all know how much I hate the cold weather. Thanks to everyone who was there - you're...
