Very sorry I'm late here but hope you had a great day a belated happy birthdsy to you

Roads were pretty good until the last couple of miles. I made it into work in a really good time, which is kind of crap as I'm in no rush to get here

Yet another Archer fan here. Soooo funny!

Regarding education and the state of it in the UK, I'll just leave this here:

I don't have to stay off the bike in winter because the weather is pretty mild here, I just have enforced breaks because it takes me much longer to fix them than it does to crash them

... I noticed that I wasn't all that cold! I put my bike in for a major service including new plugs and valve clearances around 3 weeks ago (not bothered with how long it takes its just as and when he gets a time slot to do the work) but through these 3 weeks I am starting to really miss her and ...

Your welcome to dispute that if you'd like, but you'd be wrong. I see what you did there. Great debating tactic. Well done you. It's not up to me to educate the improbably stupid, so we'll end here. Fair comment a democracy entitles you to your idiotic opinion. Happy ...

... then Sydney urban sprawl was no where near it. Now it sits smack in the middle of Parramatta which is being heralded as the second CBD of Sydney. Here's a view from google. Capture.JPG What is even crazier, is the Terminal that receives product from the tankers (bearing in mind this was crude ...

For a woman who usually talks a lot of nonsense, there are some very thought provoking points here and questions that i'm sure should be out there in the public domain but strangely have been avoided for too long. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3457221/KATIE-HOPKINS-ll-never-know-really-happened-Maddy-parents-accept-share-blame-let-go.html" ...

crikey kiwi that sounds a tough life,can you eventually retire from it but stay in the same industry on land thats more 9-5 ? Not where I'm living at the moment. Processing Plants in the Sydney area have pretty much all been forced out by urban spread. If I moved to Darwin I could but I'd ...

Excuse the ignorance, but is there much of a difference when you're working on shore to off shore, or is it a case of getting your head down and working the same way? I guess it's different for everybody, but mentally I find it a huge difference. ...

How long were you there for? I was there for 7 years. I only left as 240 of the 250 of us in Operations got made redundant due to ceasing Refining operations and converting to a Terminal with finished product being imported. It's the ...

Think everyone have given good points here mate. Definitely get someone with you and ask for ID if they don't accept the very basics then walk away. Private can be a great way of buying but it also has its downsides just have your whits about you mate.

There's really nothing really more I can say here but my thoughts are with you at this hard time

Can't imagine how you are dealing with all this, so devastated for you and your family. I can't offer much support way down here but if a trip to Aussie is something you ever thought of, I live in the Blue Mountains area and my home is open to you and your family. I've got a bar, a pool ...

My thoughts are with you and your family, Spudda.

And please if you need help with anything do not hesitate to ask. I'm sure that goes for everyone else on here too.

There is a place on here somewhere that gives a discount on TVM fuel caps.

I don't know how they work in UK, but the times I have bought privately here in Australia I have used a bank cheque.You can cancel a bank cheque up to 7 days after its been drawn. One car did have finance on it, so I got him to get a dated payout letter, then ...

... from they seem nice but that doesn't mean they are they are strangers you know nothing about. Con artists don't have con artist tattooed on there forehead. If a seller is genuine with nothing to hide he won't be offended that your cautious and if he is tough luck your not there to make friends, ...
