    Alternatives to a cat ?

    True. I have enough problems with foxes and my chickens atm. Almost lost one this morning and would have if the magpies didnt let me know somethings up.

    Alternatives to a cat ?

    Any ideas for an alternative to a cat ? Heres my daughter patting a couple of mia cats yesterday. I have heard people talking about domesticating quolls in Australia.

    VEGE PATCH. What's growing in yours?

    An unusual Echium, the bees love them all the same though. Some Stella Cherries that should ready around Christmas and the white flowers in thw hedge are Boysen Berries that will give me plenty of juicy sweet fruits this summer.

    Who else is scared (terrified) of dentists?

    You must also hate that pink stuff you bite down on that they use to take an impression. I always feel like I am going to choke on it.

    Who else is scared (terrified) of dentists?

    A couple of panadol 45 min before you go in and a request to really pump in extra anethetic nice and deep around the problem tooth makes a difference. A fear of needles is actually your enemy when it comes to a root canal. That wont help with the pain of the bill afterwards though.

    Manual Chinese gold sluice box

    I think they are picking rubbish out of at least two sizes of washed river gravel.

    Its a pendulum thing nightjar. It will swing one way then swing back hard the other way. My kids school is trying to indoctrinate them into a certain ( un named for forums benefit ) way of adult thinking that kids shouldnt even need to think at that age and allowed to just be children but it...

    unfortunately we cant afford to make our own pallets as the margin on our stock is too small to justify doing it. Its not just the superrmarkets hoarding them though. I know one large transport company that has approximately 18000 sitting in the yard. They are paying rent on them so they are...

    Whinge of the day thread...

    Here is a whinge that probably doesnt concern most people but it should. The company I work for and others may soon loose alot of buisness because there are not enough pallets for them to put there stock on thats required by everyone to transport it. The pallets work of a rental system so when...

    Standardisation would be a much better thing for the consumer down the track for other reasons and the ones outlined on the link link in your post goldilocks, but for buisness reasons ita unlikely to happen. Its like the new Iphone needing you to also buy a new charger but I digress into another...

    Here is some info I found on the car sales web site. I assume things will get cheaper but that depends on many factors, also warranties arnt too bad with new ev car batteries but still if the following infomation is true ? its not looking great .........As a rule of thumb, global battery...

    Whinge of the day thread...

    I realise its not easy to replace the battery but it could be made so. I would feel more comfortable buying an EV that I could do the battery replacement or upgrade myself and then it would see more competition amoungst battery makers for this market and then it would make the costs come down...

    $0.30 - $0.60 per kWh to charge an electric vehicle (EV). This equates to around $11.50 - $23 to fully charge a small electric vehicle or about $22.50 - $45 to fully charge a larger long-distance electric vehicle......I just cut and pasted this from an article a few mounths old so maybe just a...

    Whinge of the day thread...

    an I am not anti ev. I just dont agree with the " green " angle. I cant afford a new one but if they get cheaper along with the batteries I will definately be interested. As a potential owner though you should brace yourself for paying more rego or something on an ev further down the track as...

    I have a whinge, ultra low profile tyres on cars. I have seen them blow apart when coming into contact with a curb or a pot hole. Fashionable but STUPID, only thing worse than that is seeing these things on 4 x 4 s.

    Point taken Goldielocks. I will look into it further. No one especially me likes to have there premise challenged but thats how we learn new things isnt it and it certainly is more stimulating than an echo chamber. I am learning alot at the moment about nuclear waste that is harmful to humans...
