On This Day In 1988, Pan Am flight 103 was destroyed by a terrorist bomb while in flight over the Scottish town of Lockerbie, killing all 259 passengers and crew, as well as 11 residents of the town. R.I.P 🌹

Phil's right about the a product's working life expectation Mackka, in this case my blender had a 2 year warranty, but my argument was that it is expected to last much longer than that and clearly the company agreed. I had another similar outcome about 5 years ago, we were travelling to Mackay...

I hope all the forum followers read your post Geoff, all the points you mentioned are so important, the whole reason for a complaint is to get a resolution that the complainant is happy with. Quite a few years ago I was in a dispute with a company about something, and to be honest I can't even...

I'm pretty sure that they are the same fish Grumpy, they call them short finned pike here as well.

I had some good news this week from an appliance company after complaining to them about a stick blender that's shaft had sh** itself. The blender was a year past it's warranty expiry and the company initially said because of that, they considered the appliance to be "naturally worn out by the...

I've caught them at Port Macquarie Grumpy, only small ones as you said, 30-40cm, but I'm surprised you get them that far up, my mates in Northern New South Wales call spotted mackerel snook, evidently everyone up there does.

No, it's not a barracouta, it is a bit similar in profile, but thankfully it tastes a whole lot better.

On This Day In 1967, Australian Prime Minister Harold Holt dissapeared while swimming at Portsea, Victoria.

These are the snook Mackka, I've caught them up to 3kg, but I've heard of bigger ones being caught, you have to watch where you're putting your fingers when you grab hold of them, they've got a mouth full of big teeth.

Your right about the brine Grumpy, and although I didn't take a photo of the fish in the smoker, I did take one of the kettle smoking away, I'll post that and a photo of the finished product.

I went fishing last Monday, the first time for ages, I got 6 big whiting, and 20 snook, I normally would only keep 10 snook, but I wanted to smoke some, so I got my allowed limit of 20, I haven't smoked fish for years, I used to have a professionally built smoker, but I have done small batches...

You better have a Cheese Tasting event Simmo, so you can tag them Gold, Silver etc. Mind you they all look like Golds.

That's a very sad 😔 outcome for Billy's family and friends, but after all this time it was clearly not unexpected. R.I.P. Billy

That's just a sad fact at the moment. Coden is a pretty big company in the field compared to other detector manufacturers, the fact that they are happy to allow others businesses to make add on products for people to use on their detectors with their blessing shows that they probably don't care...

We've lost quite a few great young artists in plane crashes, Buddy Holly, Richie Valance and the Big Bopper, in one crash alone, Jim Croche was another good singer who died in a plane crash and Marvin Gay was shot dead by his father.

I guess there are umpteen organisations that want to bring the world's attention to whatever cause they are championing, in the case of Human Rights Day, it was proclaimed by the UN General Assembly in 1948.

On This Day In 1967, Singer-songwriter Otis Redding died, aged 26, in a plane crash in Madison, Wisconsin. 🎤📀
