I hope all the AFF'ers who are affected by the terrible floods in Qld and our friends in NSW are staying safe

You should just tell them what bank interest rates are on deposits. That'll send them searching elsewhere!

We've recently discovered Carrum beach. Isn't it fantastic! The water is crystal clear even at the dog beach. A winner

It seems to my eyes in the last few weeks that IGA stores seem to have plentiful supplies of everything

My rudimentary grasp of Italian (which never stopped me from having a go) saw me ask a very nice assistant for strawberry - which is fragola. I of course mixed it up with another word starting with F. Nearly fainted when I realised what I'd said! He was very amused and the next day when we again...

I think they should publish photos of these drongoes in the paper - like the 2 women from Sydney who flew into Melbourne. Let their family friends and workmates see how little they care for others and are willing to put lives and livelihoods at risk for no better reason than they can get away...

We used to have a holiday house at Flinders, on the Mornington Peninsula - the house was in Bass St. A new house was built further up the street and the new people put up their street number and the name "Aswarby". The owner was astonished when I knew the name. At high school our houses were...

You can certainly understand why anyone e going back to England and trying to describe our wildlife would be met with incredulity!

Regardless of their crimes, you can't help feeling sorry for the convicts incarcerated on Sarah Island in the middle of a Tassie winter. No thermals windproofs or all weather boots. We had them all and were still cold!

Wow you have a lovely home Sam, it looks great. I like what you've done in the kitchen. Contrats and now you can sit back and simply enjoy

I say Sam, can we have some updated pics of the house - it's been a while and havng come on the journey it would be grand to see the finished jewel!

Just catching up on this thread - had a rushed 3 days in Hobart - to attend a wedding right here on Sunday. A beautiful spot & lovely occasion - we'd hoped to snatch 10 days to wander but wrangling grandchildren was the priority. I must never have travelled much when our kids were little. Or...

Sanctuary Cove for many years was our favourite holiday destination. Loved the surroundings, atmosphere & service. In the very beginning they had little club lounges dotted around with a happy hour - you'll recall it's built in what was a pretty swampy area so a wonderful breeding ground for...

Are people going to do nothing but sit on the toilet for the next week???

For some weird reason yesterday the Village People popped into my head and I was trying to recall the characters. Thanks to you I now remember them and also can't get the bloody song out of my head

Do I recall a hydrofoil /catamaran that had a short and not so brilliant career between Melbourne and Tassie? I'm thinking it was also known as the 'Spewcat"? whatever happened to it?

Ohhh no not the paperbark.We have one in our nature strip. They shed all year, so you'll end up with leaves and blossom everywhere - and the trunks shed too - not attractive at all

Grr now I've got that rotten theme song stuck in my ear - 'Robin Hood, Robin Hood, riding through the glen......'I assume it was from the original tv series & it's driving me mad that I can't think of the British actor's name. Curly hair and a dimple.

My girlfriend worked for them as a sales rep when they started which is around 50 years ago. She had such a battle, It was so hard for people to understand what this new thingy called a credit card was. I recall another friend coming back from America in the early 70s & pulling out his wallet...

Received a couple of funnies this morning but no clue how to put them up. One is Slim Dusty being very insightul and the other is the WA Symphony's conductor in a spoof set to music of HMAAS Pinafore. Worth a Monday morning smile especially for we lepers in Victora
