    John Deere

    Would I just love a tractor like this. I have the japara vests just like him. I got a better hat tho - the really old style John Deere gave farmers years back. (Probably still do give them away, but this one is ancient. Won't wear it - just keep it) Cheers Phillip

    I know you guys have a big range of what we call slide-on campers for your pick-up trucks, but do you havealloy flat bed utes like our 1 tonners, (8'Lx6'w) and if so, do you have slide-ons made for them. I have been looking at the prices of some of your slide-ons and have to ask, are they an...

    B & M in Windsorland

    I see your leader is visiting The Queen at Windsorland. I am sure they will be made most welcome and enjoy the hospitality. But remember, although the sun may have set on the Empire, at some level the Brits are like their Royal Corgis: they still consider themselves top-dogs. (Quote from C...

    Am I the only idiot here, getting jack of the behaviour of some members of iboats Dockside Chat?

    One Ladyfish may appreciate.

    One night, President Obama and Michelle decided to do something out of the routine and went for a casual dinner at a resturant that wasn't too luxurious. When seated, the owner asked the secret service guy if he could please speak to Michelle in private. They obliged and Michelle had a...

    Friends in Japan.

    Some may recall last year we had a 15yo (F) Japanese student here to stay for a couple of weeks. My wife has become friendly with her mother, (who is trying to learn English). They e-mail regularly. They live 10km NE of Fukushima city, about 40km from the coast. It seems to us they are...

    Here we go again.

    Way north of us, but it is going to hurt our State again. We are hoping it won't swing south as that would muck us up down here again. Cheers Phillip http://www.couriermail.com.au/news/queensland-facing-a-deadly-event-with-cyclone-yasi-anna-bligh/story-e6freon6-1225997904763

    MR73 movie.

    The French Movie 'MR73' was on too late (for me) last night, but I did watch the intro up until he was removed from the bus by armed police. While he was on the bus and driving down the road, there was a simple song, sung in English by a classic male voice, bit like a dramatic poem. I have been...

    Reuters photos of the year 2010 (+ 1)

    There is no political connotations surrounding these pictures. I think we should just observe #1 and ask ourselves, is that the Russian PM, and what has he got that everybody finds interesting, and who are the two women in the picture. Before I go, there are 2 brilliant pictures in the Reuters...
