well, I am taking an interest in this house. Has it sold, and if so, how was the price compared to others in the area? I have a friend who once bought a house to renovate that had belonged to someone with alzheimers I think it was. Someone who lived alone with all windows shut, a lot of cats, he smo...

andy's idea sounds good.. why reinvent the wheel if there are some good ideas here and there you can adapt? Spelling. Grammar. You have to get them 100% correct if you want it to look professional. Get other people to proof read. They will often pick up things your tired eyes pass over. I know it so...

That has just made my day. :lol: Here I was, thinking I needed to do a bit of housework. LOL What intrigues me is the furniture, TV etc look not too bad. I think it is just the coke cans and papers etc that are the main problem. If they got in a few rubbish bags they could clear it up and make it mu...

andy, if you spell s**t as shyte, no wonder the poor chook is confused. :lol: Mind you, he is a big boof, he looked a bit lost when i asked him to turn off the lamp or the light and he lost his temper at one stage and threw all the cushions on the floor but i made him pick them up immediately and ti...

he is great. I told him to read a book and over he went to get one. Then I had him jump up and down on the couch.
And do the chicken dance.

He has been pretty well programmed.

Actually, now you mention it, CJ, there is something even odder in this case. When you buy a car from anyone you have to exchange legal papers. These list name and address of seller/buyer etc. This is so even when it is a private sale. I am a bit puzzled as to how a person could buy a car and not ha...

There is a good story (a true one) written by a prisoner of war. I forget the name of the book but he described how escaped from the prison just so he and some others could have a go at climbing kilimanjaro. Imagine that. Escaping, minimal clothes or supplies, prisoners on the run, to climb a pounta...

Brings joy to the heart to se the fraudsters outed.

what a fabulous tree! All those apples!!

Love the 3rd one. We should all do our bit to keep the post office dept in business.

I dream of being able to find something stupid to sell on ebay, that would generate this sort of interest and bidding. There was a case a couple of years ago where people bid thousands for a corn flake or some such thing. I wish!! Because normal, sensible things don't get anywhere as much interest u...

Hmm, I hope NZ doesn't decide on the southern cross on blue background, as that is one of the aussie standby's in case we change our flag! I think Canada's change of flag was wildly successful-mainly because their flag is distinctive.Their culture is so different, too. They are a nation without the ...

There you go, global, your turn.

computers?

Holderite-you have to remember, a lot of us aussies have some English ancestry. So we like a good whinge too.

yes, i get that sometimes too, pilot. But what has also happened a few times is I have had a preview come up because a new post has been made... and when I look, the new post is the one I am previewing. :shock: Don't ask me how that happens, I haven't a clue. But when it does, i just decline to subm...

Ah well, it is a reality check for me. :lol: :lol: I usually get about 12-20 emails overnight. It gives one an illusion of busy-ness. Then lately, lucky if I get one or two-and those are usually just from companies trying to sell me cheap airfares or health p*lls. :( When my 488 back copies of notif...

Excellent shots, pilot. I won't show you our disgusting excuse for an apple tree. It has always done poorly and I am not sure why, because our lemon tree and orange trees are going great guns. Apple trees are supposed to thrive here too, but they sure don't in our yard! :? I was just thinking that p...

They seem fine, for the most part. I like the bigger storage capacity of the Pm section.

The only thing i have noticed lately is my email notification of posts has not been coming through over the last 3 or 4 days, so i am expecting a deluge from cyber space when they finally arrive.
