Snatched it ! .........quit to do something else .

Yes I watch this show and it can be quite good depending on the brokers they have on at the time . Some are much better than others . I don't like listening to Margaret Lomas on the property segment . Not sure it just grates on me some how . Her style would appeal more to females of a...

I own a dairy farm so I could give you a cow or two (sorry , no goat ! ) Also have an electric cattle prodder that you can have . I never use it and never have but might be mighty handy in a classroom ? Perhaps hook it up to the power pole if you get a bad feeling coming on ...

Porridge or muesli for me with some fruit and or yogurt plus some toast and a cup of black tea . Not that instant rolled oats porridge either and cooked on a stove . No microwave porridge . That's just wrong ! Don't bother much with lunch , just another cup of tea and read the paper for a...

I agree to some of this . The old fashioned way of saving via a direct debit to a bank account these days is under some pressure . Get 2-3% on you money at the bank ? The principle is good but doing what our parents did in the 70s and 80s just might not work so well . Good post Mr F .

A friend of mine who is into scuba diving has had great luck finding rings (amoungst other things ) out near the end of a certain pier . Cast off in despair after a broken heart sadly .

Well , today I had two great dives . First dive was only a shallow dive in 5metres of water along the side of a pier . All good . Second dive we went offshore on a boat and did a dive on an old shipwreak in 14 metres of water called the La Bella . I was queasy before I went inthe water and...

The search area is supposed to be covered by May . I've read that many believe the plane could be intact on the ocean floor . Possibly it may not be found at all and even if it is found what to do with recovery in five kilometres of water ?

Thanks Blacky . We did two short dives that day with a lunch in between . As you would well know there is a lot to learn as a beginner . I was slightly cold and just a little nauseous after the first dive . No headache . I was not expecting to be sick . It came on me quickly and I think I...

No boat involved we just went in off the wharf . Sea conditions were not ideal with a bit of surge etc . Goggles had fogged up a bit and trying to get bouyancy right , mo Jo together etc . I'm only a beginner ha ha .

I get that part James S , however you should try throwing your guts up when you are several metres under the water . It's an interesting experience to say the least !

Just had a read about patches and I can forget those for diving . Are they even legal in Australia ?

Would patches likely still help while I am in the water ?

Motion sickness has been a problem for me ever since I can remember . My Dad talks about me vomiting all over the dashboard on a family outing and later on I felt awful some days if I was stuck at the back of the school bus . Last week I completed my open water scuba ticket but on the last...

I remember it being lower than 50 cents and as soon as it went above that we all thought we had our throat cut ! Don't know what the Russians are going to do . Life must be hard there for the average Joe in the street . Start another war maybe ?

The more I see of people the more I love my dog ha ha ..

I don't know anyone who invested but have seen a lot of Timbercorp investments first hand in southern Vic and SA . Many farming people I know did well doing business with Timbercorp .

Good for you . No rain to speak of here . The extended forecast for January is looking good though and also the dollar now down to 82 cents ha ha ... Just hoping grain prices will come off a bit more :)

I don't see the dollar going above parity for a while . I'm care ful what I wish for and Yes , i wish for a very low dollar and yes 24-28 cents would be fine . In fact I would like to see a good solid recession with higher unemployment for the opportunitys that may present . Too many...

One thing I've often wondered about winning a lottery is how is it possible to keep it a secret . If I won 20 M and went about investing the lot in various asset classes is it really possible to keep it quiet ? Obviously my accountant and the ato will know in due course . If your family and...
