  12. facthunter I wish Dutton can Finnish his job & get rid of this " nbn " & let some competition in . I very much doubt it will be worse than what we have . All down together. Phone, Internet, & treamed TV. spacesailor
  13. My daughters new car had both of the rear ' seatbelts ', Eaten through by rats or mice . Luckily we managed to replace them at very " backyard " garage rates . Four hours on the front lawn , with half the interior strewn around the car . Great picture it would have made. spacesailor
  14. I am still on the Old copper wire. No upgrade here . Just a slow & intermittent service. My cell-phone is lots faster with no ' reloading ' waiting time , unlike the TV often pausing, to catch-up that download . 1 Gb is the UKs fastest download speed at 30 pound p/m . That is what they charge me , without any deductions for their blank days . No phone , to tell them the internet is down again. Without even the TV to tide us over . Have to have an independent person to tell my provider . IT'S OFF AGAIN . spacesailor PS : they say it's progress !.
  15. My Delica has all the Old crap switches .that we owners are warned against using, as they can play up & leave the driver without certain functions . Like no top gear ( overdrive ) ,or no first gear (none skid start ) . Two separate switches/buttons . ( if towing don't use o/d , on snow or icy roads select " none skid start " ). On our newer Pajero, remove " traction control " fuse , for sand driving. Is the norm for " offroading " I've failed to find the correct fuse . ( ruining the brake pads) . spacesailor
  16. Since we were forced onto the NBN system, we have never had two consecutive months of service. And I do miss having a proper phone with it's " fax " service. windows has/should have it in their system , but is too hard to use . spacesailor
  17. SHSSS Don't tell my granddaughter, At least it doesn't have to get " warmed-up " in these cold morning's. ( 2 o'clock call out ( silentlysneak away , without waking the children )) . spacesailor
  18. Geothermal ' hot rock ' , was trialed in South Australia A fairly long time ago , but it failed every test to get water down to the ' hot rock ' then collect usable steam. It was dumped July 2014 . spacesailor PS : not before , I went up for a nosey . the people were proud to show, how it could work .
  19. A big Data centre is in the making , in sevenhills according to " rumours " . Huge earth works around here , heading to the " Oaks road " substation. As well as into our residential streets, in the "Settlers Creek reserve " they have six or seven poli-pipes in trenches, with concrete inspection boxes every so often . Possibly for 'optical ' cabling. YET we have a dismal NBN CONNECTION, with never a month without a breakdown , in the service . spacesailor PS : they call the NBN fast . A little village ( Michaelson )in Wales UK . Has a 1Gb download speed .
  20. The Toyota badge is made from three zero's . Ho Ho Ho . spacesailor
  21. It definitely not the sports cars ! . It's always that brat of a P plater . That hoons everywere The only one to beat those EV's off the " green-light " . Then cuts in . Forcing others to brake. spacesailor PS : three words changed by A I .
  22. Very true, the receptionist do recognise the wife & I . Plus we are regulars there . LoL The daughter works at a different Dr clinic . So whenever we see the Dr ., the daughter knows what questions to ask & what those " Dr speak " words mean . Most " MRI's are expensive. So the 'specialist' MRI referral was dumped to get a much cheaper Dr's referral. Saved $ 300 on the original referral . spacesailor
  23. I have noticed, EV's are quicker off the traffic lights . I am slower even with 4 litres of power . spacesailor
