    Should single men be able to sit next to unaccompanied kids on planes ?

    i twice experienced inappropriate "touching" as a teenager on the train travelling to uni. i'm not sure it is was the same person, cause both incidents were similar, but separated by some time. i think in both cases hte train was fairly full, so only middle seats. the persn next to me (on aisle)...

    What to do in case of a fire

    if you have grounds to evict, I would do it. See it as an opportunity to get them out before they do any further damage.

    Somersoft Cars

    i've had mine for a couple of years now.. i used to worry about the fuel consumption, cause i'd heard the same. i havent found any better or worse than other cars we've owned, and we balance it with the economy of the maz2, which seems to run on the smell of an oily rag. maybe i'm a better...

    Why Abbott could lose the ‘unloseable’ election

    but there is no evidence... i think it does say alot about free speech.. people shouldnt be able to print stuff that they cant prove. It has all the hallmarks of a conspiracy theory to me!

    the executer is the final decision maker, but they are probably going to rely on the opinions of the beneficiares

    Crack found on wall, should i be worried?

    maybe give the building inspector a call and discuss how serious the problem is. building inspectors have an obligation to inform you about every problems.. and often problems sound much worse than they actualy are. usually over the phone, you'll get a more "realistic" view. generally, its...

    Footpaths & Vehicles

    the australian standard for footpath width for wheelchairs is 1000-1200mm, so I imagine that should be the distabce left.. but more if the driveway is sloped.

    Why Abbott could lose the ‘unloseable’ election

    i've only read 2 pickering articles... both linked from somersoft, I think. I find it hard to read. So negative and bitchy... and far too many conspiracy theories for me. lots of implications and no facts. I'm sure some of it is true, but I just cant take it seriously.

    Agent Fee payable?

    If you've had no offers at the higher price, then the property isnt really worth as much as you think, at the moment. If you cn wait, I woud take it off the market and do some improvements and then put it back on. at this stage, you would most probably have 3 agents with a claim on a...
