Cockroaches, white ants, or Hells Angels?

With thanks to another board: Poetry in the Park - with apologies to Banjo Patterson and Clancy of the Overflow. I had written him a letter which I had, for want of better Knowledge, sent to where I met him at the Wheat Board years ago. He was chairman when I knew him, so I...

yadreamin Sprinkle napthalene flakes around perimeter and bare soil areas. Cats hate it and it is cheap to apply. Keep napthalene away from small children of course.

Accommodation Seaworld Nara Resort - close to other attractions, plenty of good pools and cover. Beach one side and Broadwater the other. Fishing at end of Spit. Otherwise try to get a unit on Main Beach (this isn't Surfers beach area which is too crowded). I lived on Main Beach for...

GarryK We found the BSA inspectors to be real diplomats (sic) when dealing with builders and slower than moss growing, even where the fault was substantial and obvious from a visual inspection. What could happen is that the tenant vacates, with or without going through due process...

You mean rest in different beds.:p

kero If you drive a lot why not invest in a proper seat? Eg Recaro, Paratus or similar. Can move it from car to car. My physio showed me how small, deep, muscles stabilise the back. These do not receive exercise in the ordinary course of events. There are exercises. See a good...

A supplier has advised me that HP lasers offer recycling of cartridge and use Canon engine. So the cost and page count for the Canon is 2500 pages for a $120 cartridge but by comparison a HP around thse same (?) gets 3500 pages with a new cartridge price of $100 and recycled cartridge for...

BruceW I think for a home office a Samsung SCX-4216F is looking to be the pick because it is bullet proof. It was a much more expensive machine when introduced of course. For my purpose it is looking very mcuh as though a Canon MF5770 laser for $575 might be the lowest limit for...

GRCee Welcome back. Camping? Do you 4X4 as well? LPlate

geoffw That is good advice. All companies seem to recover a lot of $$ through dearer ink esp. for the cheaper printers. Almost everybody I know, including us, has an array of the cheaper printers which no longer work or the ink refills are either not available or are too dear. I'm...

Glebe I don't think the MP780 will network. Looks good for general home use - photos etc. A Canon MF 5770 Laser Multifunction seems good but the price is a bit higher than I wanted to spend at $575. Maybe the extra hundred or two is cut out by cheaper printing, reliability and a bit more...

thefirstbruce I always thought that Brother was more domestic and possibly less durable, but that is not your experience obviously. No particular reason for my view, probably just unfamiliar with the product. Is yours used in a local network? LPlate

I have a small network of four PCs - serving students and home office. After a multifinction printer for all to share with fax, print, copy, scan. Would prefer laser but still open, don't especially need colour print. Needs to be durable and simple. Was thinking about a Samsung...

A child could change all of the above. Doesn't have to be yours either. It was good advice from Kathryn to select well. Good luck from me too. :p LPlate

I liked AVG but a year or two ago it kept producing false warnings and could not corral certain trojans (eg the 'Dropper' trojan. Pity, I liked AVG. So I got McAfee. For general interest, is the free AVG performing better now?

But she's not worried that the brothers might be sexually assaulted in an Aussie gaol! Sounds like gaol is a home away from home for some people. Unfortunately this mentality is not uncommon in certain sectors of the community.

thefirstbruce Sorry to get back to you late. Yes I do have experience of attending a group with a facilitator at Bardon. It was very helpful. Supportive, go at your own pace, no pressure, group work, share stories, some information input. :cool: No 'downs' on women, marriage or any...

Don't forget the evidence. In this their standard of proof is the same as ours. Penalty is the only difference and all travellers are made aware of the risks. I would guess that many perpetrators could easily qualify for the Darwin Awards.

Some would have to be banking on improvements to viagra. On the other hand in 30 yrs they might prefer a tot of rum instead. :D
