    So you have 7 + 1 ppor = 8 total How then do you have 5 left if you sell 4?

    Dangling plastic strip thingies.

    Try looking in your local discount Variety store, especially around December January. Not sure which ones you have near you, something like Crazy Clarkes (or similar?) When we owned a variety shop, we used to sell them (just a couple of years ago, not all the way back in the 60's!) We only had...

    Coffee Snob...

    Yep, guilty! So much so that I sent my 15 year old daughter off to Tafe tonight, her first night participating in a short course on the art of espresso coffee making. (No I am not joking) It's time she learns to use the "big shiny silver machine" in the kitchen. (Again, not joking, this...

    Building in Blakes Crossing SA

    Just curious, will council regulations actually allow you to build a house that leaves such minimal yard space?

    Anyone tried "stick-on heat Pads" for back pain?

    Hi, I'll vouch for the Nurofen adhesive heat packs. They don't contain ibuprofen but simply have some ??? natural minerals that heat up when exposed to the air. Great for pain management and much more convenient than lugging a hot water bottle around! :cool: The link you posted looks to be a...

    Where to invest in Adelaide?

    Haha no! Whilst there are a couple of dirt roads around Myponga, Main South Rd has been bitumen since as far back as I can remember all the way to Yankalilla etc! So Terry has earmarked Aldinga huh? Hmmm... our investment eggs are in the Aldinga basket so I sure hope he's right! - Whilst the...

    Dilema - Christies Beach in SA or Umina Beach inNSW

    Distance Umina to Sydney is approx 90K's. One hour?? will take your word for it. :) Distance from Christies Beach to Adelaide 25k's 30 mins. This area has had a good run of CG recently though - perhaps it's gone off the boil a little?

    The big trip. Choosing an appropriate, reliable 4x4 and tow.

    My vote is for a nissan patrol or pathfinder - be sure it's diesel though.

    Some recent stuff

    AA, Maybe have a look at Drifta kitchens! They are awesome systems, I have one in our camper trailer and the whole thing is set up in seconds. W2BW my bias is toward the camper trailer if you truly want to explore off road, but then again we sell them for a living so the bias is strong...

    visiting Vietnam in Oct any suggestions

    How exciting! Yep agree with Pushka, get up to Hanoi and Halong Bay if you can. Amazing! However I would do an overnight stay on a junk boat if possible. Ocean Tours were excellent to deal with.

    ADSL recommendations

    Sorry Sim, I was vague wasn't I? :o We currently have voip. We use about $15 voip per month. We prepay it in $60 chunks and top it up as needed. We have 10GB internet with our local provider. This is the expensive part! I envisage needing up to double this amount in the next year or so...
