    Still here

    I'm still around. I did contact Frank and got a new spring. He was really helpful. You could try that number above, that's the one I have saved in my phone, otherwise try his mobile, I have that too...

    QUEENSLAND My toes are fine

    All good if you want them, go for it, I probably shouldn't be buying any more timber just yet anyway, it's just an addiction I really should stop.:;

    I don't object at all, in fact I think adding the 'The' makes it sound even more respectful. Kind of like 'The Boss', what's wrong with that? let's face it most women are in some ways the boss, I...

    Yep they have got rid of grid girls, there's a small minority pushing all this. I'm telling you, this year gone buy it seems to be worse than ever. Let's hope we see some kind of turn around in...
