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...

I saw this elsewhere, I make a post; "The poster below me has a cat..." Then the poster below me answers, "No I don't but the person below me has a cat." Can be a yes answer too, but just keep the ball rolling, and remember as well as answering ask a question too. I'll start; "T...

Is it time we banned guns full stop? No more recreational hunting. Or at least, ban semi automatic guns...single round only and only kept at a gun club under lock and key. Farmers except, but only a limit of two single round guns. Absolutely, no need for guns in the community. John Howard did a good job, b...

Well Dmaxer, the first game approaches ever closer, have replenished the grog cupboard in anticipation of long sessions in front of the tv. What will my learned friend be doing? Will he discard the wig and gown for more comfortable attire? (not the Budgie smugglers I hope?)

I note that our resident lawyer has been absent on here of late. I hope that nothing untoward has befallen him. In view of the fact that a very important cricket match is due to take place tomorrow and his views on it would be appreciated, I ask the question; "Dmaxer, wherefore art thou Dmaxer?" (Apolog...

I suggest that an Adventure Truck category be added to the website. Ordinary motorhomes do not have the clearance or the strength to handle the rigours of off road travel in the outback but there is much to see. There seems to be more adventure trucks around these days. Mr GRUMP[Y

I don't get it. The old BOM website worked so well. Now replaced with a complete useless design.

I am really looking forward to the upcoming Ashes series which commences in a few weeks time in Perth. Although I am not a fan of the Australian team for reasons given in the past as to their carry on I do like watching cricket for the game itself and the skill of the players. I played grade cricket in earlie...

Apparently, a distance based Road User charge is to be phased in for EVs because those vehicles avoid petrol excise charges. Are we also going to see a similar charge applied to the use of caravans? In many cases the weight of a van exceeds the weight of the tug and its travel on the road causes damage....

My trusty 2014 Isuzu Dmax is approaching the 200K mark and (touch wood) has not missed a beat to date. I have the services done every 10K with oil and filter changed and if I have been doing any significant amount of towing my 2.2 tonne van during that period then I have the oil and filter changed at 5K. I don...

I read that the Labour government in UK are going to introduce these cards. Just another tracking device? The general public over there are up in arms, over 3 million objections to date. Sadly I fear that there isn't a lot of privacy left anywhere these days . Maybe George Orwell got it right all those y...
