I lived in Edmonton for two years. I liked it. We had beautiful views. The only issue ( if you can call it that ) is that Edmonton is about 14 km from the centre of the city, which can get busy during during 'peak hour'. When I was there, the new estate we lived in was selling 4 x 2 houses for...

Oh, I totally agree Pete. I thought it was funny. Whether it is true or not, it certainly doesn't add to PM's growing reputation. Anyway, I'm off to clipper my own hair - hair dryer not required. Phil :)

"Prime Minister Kevin Rudd's temper is in the limelight again after claims he "chucked a wobbly" because he could not find a hairdryer in Afghanistan....Coalition frontbencher John Cobb said Mr Rudd became agitated and angry when soldiers could not find one for a photo opportunity....But Mr...

Thanks for the link WW. Hopefully we will see Harris' departure in the not too distant future. Seriously, who are these clowns with a chip on their shoulder? You can't bully the media and expect favourable treatment in the press. But hey, they are only journo's I suppose. Phil :)

I do and I have. Have a nice evening. Phil :rolleyes:

I don't believe so. Goes with the job; get over it. And do pray tell how long and where you served in the ADF. Regardless, we all deserve equal respect. Get over it. Phil :)

I don't care if he was stressed or hungry or upset or tired. To speak to a ADF member such as is reported ( who, by the way is limited in their reponse to such comments due to service conditions ) just shows a lack of class. He treated her like an inferior because at the end of the day, that was...

Well, apparently these properties were under contract as soon as they were offered. A work mate tried to call and register interest, but alas, all were snapped up. Phil :)

Just got this e-mail if anyone is interested...Too rich for me though. DHA will be releasing the following properties at 12 noon tomorrow Thursday EDST. These properties will be snapped up sight unseen. PLEASE NOTE DUE TO THE REGION BEING A MINING AREA THE MINIMUM RENTAL FLOOR GUARANTEE DOES...

Compared to other capital cities, Darwin is very tame. I've lived in Palmerston for almost three years now ( and lived here for a year in 2000/01 ) and I have never had any issues. Of course, I don't come home from clubs at 4 am when most of these alcohol induced problems occur. I don't own any...

Good for you mate. I smoked for about 17 years and gave it up over 2 years ago. In fact, I was waiting in traffic today and casually watched an otherwise attractive young women having a ciggie in her car. It certainly is a yukkie habit. I'm glad I am finally free of them. Besides, it looks...

Public and private housing doesn't work State governments have tried placing public and private housing together. It never works. These social experiments were a failure in the 1970's, and they will fail again. Phil

Steve, some people will do what ever they want to, regardless of what others think. I remember as a child, I used to think older individuals knew better / were wiser etc. Now I am almost 40, I know this is not the case. Stupidity and cruelty appear to be the norm in our society. Sometimes I...

Yes mate I agree; but it really makes me sad, ( not to mention angry ) at this kind of activity. I remember when I worked in London in 1989 and a work collegue ( who was 40 ) was going to marry a 16 year old girl in Morocco. I couldn't believe it then and can't believe it now. Regardless of what...
