Melbourne is the king of cesspit stink citys in the 21st Century. Whos going to accept responsibility for the fart which left it in this mess...?

I'm WAY off topic here, but today we had to make a decision between putting my $1K towards the RX8 or a new vacuum cleaner.

I lost.

Do the vacuum you want have rotary brushes? If so, go for the vacuum.

Hi all ,

I know its the lounge and all, but this is a help question ..Does anyone know if I can edit a thread name??.I have done it but it only appears when u open the first page, and the main thread stays the same(ps i did search, but found nothing in FAQ's section)...

As I want to add pg details and link information to the cruise thread, for piks taken. So that people don't have to ask, where piks are or search for them thru the entire thread etc..

On a another note, how dissappointing was the socceroos last nite, we were terrible.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Cheers,
Waldo

ZOOMBY - I just did it for the first time about a minute ago. Click on Edit Thread, then click the Advanced Edit button, then edit the title and save it.

Edit: Ignore me, the title didn't update either.

I've been busy working, partying and exercising (largely in that order ).

You've just been used to incessant chit chat. It'll come and go in terms of activity.

Ok, here's something we can laugh about. Had my fire extinguisher and rear MS tower brace fitted during the week. Why not the front one you ask? Well dummy here didn't realise they are different for LHD and RHD, and ordered the wrong one from the States . Luckily onlinemazdaparts.com are good blokes and they've offered a full refund (and even apologised for not picking it up either).

So, you may all queue up to have a good laugh at my expense.

BTW, fire extinguisher install looks great. Passenger seat remains with full travel over the top of it and it's easy to remove when I'm not tracking.

I wouldn't beat yourself up on it Dave, it could have happened to any one of us.

It won't be the first time overseas orders don't work out, and it certainly won't be the last....

Anyone know if it's worth subscribing/reading the Top Gear Australia magazine?

'Er Indoors was at a jumble sale on the weekend and couldn't resist buying these for me.

I'm sharpening my track reflexes by trying to catch flies...

Talking about funny news in the internet newspaper sites

http://www.smh.com.au/news/tourdefra...658077838.html

Look at the pic

Italian Riccardo Ricco (left) (Saunier Duval/Spa) rides with Spanish team leader Alejandro Valverde (centre) (Caisse d'Epargne/Spa) and Australian team leader Cadel Evans (second right) (Silence Lotto/Bel).
Ricco is not in the shot. The yellow jersey is Stefan Schumacher.
Cadel Evans is in the centre. The one with yellow bike is Valverde
