That explains why I haven't received a newsletter since Oct 22. I use GMX for my main email account which I receive via Thunderbird. I checked the GMX file on Thunderbird and also directly on GMX but all spam boxes are empty.

I'm a Republican at heart but I was asked by a friend "who would you have as President" and I could only think of Brendan Nelson and John Anderson. So I go along with Bill Hayden "if it ain't broke don't fix it". I voted against the Republic referendum for that reason. A Head of State is, after...

They introduce a ram to a ewe. Biology 101.

I prefer cage-free eggs from Lake Macquarie eggs which is local. But I would eat cage eggs if that was all that was available. As long as the RSPCA has no complaints that is.

That was especially bad. At home I leave the plate with the fat still on. When it cools it is solid and easier to get off. Plus it protects the plate from whatever may fall on it. Then a sprinkle of salt and a wipe with newspaper and a bit of canola oil. The photo looks like something has been...

Vikings After seeing "Vikings" with Tony Curtis and Kirk Douglas borrowing our Dad's tomahawks and throwing them at trees. I got quite good at it.

Given the number of young folks driving into houses it might be worthwhile to have regular driving tests for over 85's and under 30's. My first test is this year and, whilst driving is no problem, I'm worried about the questions. When it comes to distances I'm super conservative but I don't...

Back of the ute The photo by Suzanne reminded my of my trip from Sydney to Jervis Bay in 1954 with family in the back of my grandfather's ute. It rained (you can tell). I sat in the cabin because I had long legs.

Go into a Centre if you can. They hate that but it's the quickest. They'll tell you it can be done online. Tell them that doesn't work because the computers can't think. There'll be about a 10 minute wait then the human presses a couple of keys and it's fixed

I got the question about Australia Day correct but disagree with the explanation as to why January 26 was chosen. Here is a better explanation:- "On 26th January 1949, the Australian nationality came into existence when the Nationality and Citizenship Act 1948 was enacted. That was the day we...

They could fix the problem by rectifying their online reporting. For a rent increase you do the notification online. You attach the document as required. Then they send you a form to be signed by the Village. They won't sign because they done have to. So you go to a Service Centre and, voila...
