Happy birthday to all the horses out there

Extra biscuit of lucerne with some rolled oats today

I remember the day like it was yesterday. The missus wanted to buy a flash new car so we were in a car dealership, she overheard another couple talking, that was that - no new car

I played golf at Massey Park with the social club that Sunday morning and came home late afternoon where my mum and brother told me the news.

Life goes on.

Has anyone been to the Western Plains Zoo and stayed overnight in recent times.

I am flying to Dubbo in a few months and looking at staying at the Zoo for a night.

Would save me having to fly to Africa for something similar.

Werribee Zoo has an overnight option.

Old cleaner did final clean up and totally cleaned out. Cut wiring and removed security cameras, intercom systems, towers in IT room ect. Police had to be called on that one.

Simply not the function of the cleaner. Guess they were going to try sell them on gumtree.

Yes I did see that written so might take a look.

Did you know there's two? One near the airport, and one out at Jindalee. As an inner Northsider, I've only been to the airport one.

I did know about DFO Jindalee. Interesting how they compare to one another. We'll go to the airport DFO on Sunday. Not easy when you don't have a car.

Installed some DIYweather stripping on our bedroo windows today. Definitely seems to have cut the noise somewhat. Will see if it keeps the room a little warmer overnight, not to mention stops some of the daily condensation we seem to be getting every morning.

This is Stan. Stan is in his mid forties. Stan has decided to tell Australia how naive he is by telling his story on Today Tonight. Stan bought a Volvo that had 250,000 k on the dial. He paid $1300 from a used car dealer. But then took out an extended warranty for an extra $3,000. The warranty stated that it only covered cars doing less than 125,000 k. Stan believed the used car salesman who said the insurance company would still pay out. Stan paid the extra money. A few days later he changed his mind and wanted to cancel the policy. The policy states it can be cancelled but does not state there will be a refund of premiums. Stan has done his dough and now we all know about it.

Simples. Don't watch TDT! you'll go blind.

For me, most clothing from Rivers is horrid.

Agree that a lot is awful but I also find a bunch that works for me. Between Rivers and Kathmandu I can cover most situations.

I usually don't but too tired to change stations. My son would be very embarrassed if he knew.

When formal season would come around (and there are a few going around now), one notices the female students increasingly developing a tan (slow natural, fast natural or fake) in preparation.

I have no idea why they do this. Without sounding creepy or what not, they look much better naturally (and makeup covers a lot), the tanned look appears really unnatural, forced and having to go through all that effort (and possibly pain)...

Ladies, help me understand this...

Tanned fat looks better than white fat...

I thought it was compulsory for all insurance policies to have a cooling off period with full refund offered?
