Scary fun

I’ve heard that the ghost tour in Melbourne is supposed to be fun and really scary. And that it only costs $20.
Has anyone here done it? If so, would you recommend it to friends?

Who knows how to get to Sesame Street?

I’d ask elmo, but he no know.

Slashed - but not burnt

Fairfield Alignment and Tyre Service gets our endorsement for its simple and honest approach. Rather than over-quote and upsell, the crew offered reliable advise at a fair price.
The Grey Thunder - Club Trev’s fleet of one promotional vehicle - was off-road recently with two slashed tyres.
The Club Trev Gray Thunder was due to head out to various […]

500 year shopping trip

Is the push against plastic bags really making any difference?

I’ve heard that every person in Australia uses an average of 300 plastic bags annually. That’s 6 billion bags in total. A plastic bag can take up to 500 years to decay.
Sure, I try to remember to carry the recyclable shopping bags on each shopping trip […]

Tough question

If you had one week left to live, what would you spend it doing?

We recall the day colour TV arrived at our house. Homework that should have taken only a few minutes to knock over stretched out for hours as I sat transfixed. Even the commercials looked wondrous.

Nowadays our colour set gives us little choice about recalling the old days. It is seriously outdated.
