Nice.

Anyone still on Hamilton Island would be getting a different holiday experience.

Wind gusts of 132km currently as Debbie blows.

What's happened to old China John Wren?

Hasn't been heard of for quite sometime.

Wokko and AN_Inkling also MIA.

In regards to John Wren, the thread below explains his absence.

LOL some thought your return to Nicks late last year coincided with Wokko's disappearance a little too conveniently

Wokko's a fruitcake though.

I'm more a meat pie.

Full of useless shit but still enjoyable.

How much.

Glad to see so many cared.

I'll miss him.

Tannin is another Nick's hall of fame inductee who is rarely seen these days.

Observations from the Thomastown market.

Filthy tracksuit pants paired with thongs is apparently high fashion.

If you ever wondered how many Chinese people it takes to order a bucket of chips, apparently the answer is 6.

Speaking of chips, it seems that hot chips with tomato sauce is the perfect trans-cultural food. halal, vegetarian, vegan, suitable for and enjoyed by Muslims, Asians, Africans and Europeans alike.

Apparently you can type a text message in English and have it converted to Arabic as you complete each word. Not sure how it handles grammar and syntax, potential there for something to go very badly if a couple of words go in the wrong order.

being a self infatuated tool isn't exclusive to the latest generation. Exhibit A, some of the self-absorbed and humorously inept attempts at parking a motor vehicle in something resembling order.

It is possible to pilot a motor vehicle purely by the force, without needing to look in any way where you are going.

it is also possible, when in a carpark that has some deep puddles and occasional well placed boulders, to somehow get your car stuck, apparently on top of one of these boulders, while driving through a 6 inch deep puddle while piloting by said force.

Finally, what are the requirements for getting a car off said boulder and out of said puddle? I'm not actually sure but the starting point seems to be 1 large 4WD, one 5m piece of thick rope and at least 15 people to watch and provide advice.

Is that the old Trash n Treasure market Stui?
I didn't think that was still going.
I still have a pair of Mocco's that I cannot bring myself to throw away from there.
Hot Chips will be used to solve world peace someday - each country/continent/terrorist group may be allowed to choose there own condiment.

What is it with thongs and trackie dacks! I noticed a couple today, are they too lazy to put shoes on? It's was pretty chilly! Uggs are just as easy, and look much better!

Hubby managed to bog his falcon ute down to the axles at the speedway last week, still with the car trailer attached, very funny watching him and the guys pull the trailer out separately and then use the ranger to tow it out! (I drove the ranger, because I had to tow the quad bike). Man that mud was deep, I fell over ibut just managed not to face plant! thankfully I wasn't the first! Hubby was running late for the third heat, and I had to push him around to the start, usually someone takes over, but I had to drive up the hill and onto the track, bit scary with cars circling, not keen on quads, feel safer on a track bike!

Did you get donuts? Market donuts are the best, they tend to be over cooked and crunchy! And you gotta love that red hot jam splurting out!
