Just received a phone call from the REA, the vendor has accepted the removal of the land tax clause, if the contract is signed by tomorrow morning. Thank you all for your comments/advice. johno

Initially there were six changes to the contract that I requested, and this is the only change that the vendor refused. The deal is not bad, I believe that the land tax owing is around $1,200, but this is only a verbal amount given by the REA. I had not taken this amount into my figures...

At a recent software engineering management course in the US, the participants were given an awkward question to answer. "If you had just boarded an airliner and discovered that your team of programmers had been responsible for the flight control software how many of you would disembark...

A guy walks into a bar with a dachshund under his arm. The dog is wearing a England rugby jersey and is festooned with England pom-poms. The bartender says, "Hey! No pets are allowed! You'll have to leave." The guy begs him, "Look, I'm desperate! We're both big fans, the TV's broken at...
