Steve,

Will you be repeating the MAP program? And how did you select the applicants? Hope these aren’t dumb questions but if I told you that I had watched 3 hours of TV in the past couple of months, I would be exaggerating.

Bye,
Fibejebe.

Matt,
You mention that your Grandad gave you the funds for investment or education. What a wise man he is. You also mentioned that you plan to go to Uni to do business studies. Will property investment effect your austudy? Will you be able to support yourself thru Uni on your part time job?

Grandfathers are one of the best assets we can have.…[Read more]

They lied, they lied!! I got on at 1645 Wednesday and the forum was closed. OMG what am I supposed to do with a boring Wednesday evening? I break out in a sweat. I check for a rash. Phew – nothing visable. I persevere. And it pays off. At 1920 parts of the forum are open again. Sigh of relief. I will survive another evening.

Totally off topic (again) [] but it pays to periodically look yourself up on a good search engine. I use web ferret. I gave a deputation to council last year and a couple of months later did a search on my name and found they had put my details on the net – without my permission. I phoned them and asked them to remove it, which they did.

Thanks for the link Kay Henry. I was…[Read more]

Guess this is evidence as to how fast the forum is growing – the need for more hands on deck to assist. Congrats to Steve also.

I remember the teachers use to take great pleasure in making me debate things I felt strong about but on the opposite side to my beliefs. That was a great teacher for me in early life to realise there are 2 sides to every argument and both sides can actually be right.

Not so much hostility, more like frustration I would say. I just haven’t got the time to play games. If you have an article of interest to others then give the URL of the article. As I have mentioned, I looked for the article Bec was referring to and the search returned the…[Read more]

Bear,

Apologies to anyone who found my tone harsh in the previous post, but I kinda believe that if you have something to say, then say it. This dropping hints and innuendos is not really my style. We are all adults here. No way are we going to agree with everything every one says. But if you have an opinion, either express it directly or shut up. Don’t…[Read more]

You’ll have to be quick sometimes to read my views, however, as they often get cut or deleted on this democratic forum.

Have a safe 2004.

I guess Steve has to protect himself from your slanderous comments that have absolutely no factual basis. Sure, you are entitled to your opinion in a democratic society. But to start and/or spread…[Read more]

Simply gorgeous.
Thanks for sharing.

A more obvious case. The NT govt decided to legalise and legitamise euthanasia under certain circumstances. Little johnny howard didn’t like this thought, so introduces a FEDERAL law overriding and immediately “trumping” and nullifying the state law.

Bec,
Thanks for your comments. I went to the Newstext site and typed “kevin young” in the searches (national, QLD, NSW etc) and it kept returning No articles found. Please enter another search. What am I doing wrong? Can you give me a bigger hint by actually naming the newspaper that has the reports on KY? So far, I am drawing a blank. Couldn’t…[Read more]

Thank you everyone for your comments.

Bec: Do you have first hand experience with the club or know anyone who has, in order for you to make the comment “be careful. Be very careful.”

Chefman: I know where you are coming from when you mention hype. I think there are many investors on this board who have been through one, two, three or more…[Read more]
