I just joined "Pick This Place" Forum recently and it occurred to me maybe we should start another guessing game and call it "Who is This". We could post photos of famous people and you have to guess who they are. If we can get enough starters I will e-mail the Webmaster with a req...

Just one rule here (besides keeping posts friendly and respectful) – please no religion or politics. Thanks...

6.9°C this morning in Sydney at our place. It's such a waste of energy & time mopping up water. Tomorrow morning it is supposed to be 5°C, & we have had this in previous years. So I am expecting even more condensation. Wish we had double glazing & thermal break frames. In Germany they use tri...

We all hear it time and time again about some, and I say only some caravan or motorhome people that they discharge grey or black water whilst travelling along the highway. That's nothing compared to trucks in particular 2 decks on a B-double with cattle. On a return visit today from the south coast we...

I've found a few more flicks of that hidden Golden Valley which is down near Balingup in W.A.s South West........ This lovely quiet valley is the ideal place for a quiet Cuppa and a bit of a read, well worth the visit. K.J.

I watched the Aussies play Paraguay on Friday morning.I saw Paraguayan players rolling around on the pitch clutching their leg, writhing in absolute agony, after they had tripped over their own feet in a tackle. Then came a crafty little look to see if the ref had seen it. If no free kick was given they w...

So first thing he does is ring the police, puts it on speaker phone and proceeds to tell the 000 police woman about it, she thinks it is a crank call, and he asked me to explain it to her, but she did not believe me as well, so I asked to be put thru to the Inverell Police station, this she would not do and told us n...

Anyone watch 4 Corners last night? Was primarily about BHP fudging the numbers regarding their net zero targets. E.g. by building gigawatt solar and wind, running battery operated mine trucks and battery operated haulage trains. All to get off diesel. BHP get $387 million from the govt in dies...

Yesterday we lost a great Australian. Neale was given a death sentence some 12yrs ago with MND. Since then he and his charity, have raised over a hundred million dollars to fight this horrible disease. When I heard of his death I shed tears, even though we all knew that this day would arrive. He will be gi...

Here in Vic we are about to get a statue to the previous Premier of this state. which will cost $134,000. This brilliant idea comes when we are up to our eyeballs in debt, and is a tribute to someone who started the spiral. Methinks it will not be up long before someone changes the colour scheme or, better s...
