Hi Steve and others,

While i respect your opinions, i would ask that you think about this a little more broadly.

Can any of you honestly say that you have never:

: borrowed a book from a library

: borrowed a book from a friend

: lent a book to a friend or

: bought a book second hand

I seriously doubt that many people could. Yet these all…[Read more]

Hi guys,

Great topic. This is one i’ve always liked!

Hi Mel,

Thanks for your input, i agree that it was absolutely an error in judgement. This i admitted in the opening sentence as well as the title of the post.

It was never my intention however to rip anybody off. I had intended to keep the origanal as i am a collector of books, CD’s and DVD’s. My friend however sold it before i even layed eyes…[Read more]

Xyzzy,

Please re-read my original post.

My first admission is the fact that i made a mistake in trying to save money by going halves in the program.

I also said that it was my friend who sold the CD’s on ebay (not me). I was in fact very annoyed about this, as i had intended on keeping the original.

The reason that i decided to go halves in…[Read more]

G,day xyzzy,

I’m assuming from your response that you have never (not even once), used your CD burner or perhaps made a copy of a music tape or video.[]

It is not breaking any copyright laws to make a copy of something that you own! That is why CD burners, tape recorders, video recorders exist.

Cheers,
Jay

Hey Pinky,

You forgot to add a link to the photo’s.

Hi Dingo,

Thanks for the reply.

I agree about the risk but a little planning and due diligence can eliminate most (not all) of the risks.

As for putting any positive cashflow back into the mortgage. Thats the main advantage of using the offset account. Ideally you would have all of your available money and savings in this account and would have…[Read more]

Thanks for that Muppet.

Hilarious![][]

Cheers,
Jay.

Thanks for the contributions guys.

Wow, Slum Lord that really was a “horror story”.[]

It’s incouraging to see that these terrible experiences had all turned out alright in the end,
as this is what i was hoping to find with this topic.

Keep the stories coming.

Cheers,
Jay.

Hi Arty,

Motorsport, i just can’t get enough.

V8 Supercars and F1 mainly but i enjoy most kinds of circuit racing. (Not drag racing)

Also grew up playing Aussie rules and Cricket so i still love these.

Cheers,
Jay

Thanks Westan,

Great story.

I’m glad that it had a happy ending, and that even though it was a bad experience you probably were able to learn some valuable lessons.

Cheers,
Jay.

Hi Achievers,

The reason it appears as though the posts are disappearing is because you have your search parameters set up to only search for posts made in the last 30 days (which is the default setting). As no new posts are being added to the Treasure Chest this number will contually fall.

You can however change the way you search by changing…[Read more]

Mel,

I’ve been considering buying it myself and was wondering if you can play it online.

Also if you’ve played the board game, how would you compare the two?

Thanks.[]

Jay

Gotta agree Westan,

Holy Grail is the greatest ever comedy.

Got a favourite scene?

I love the “French Taunter”… “I don’t wanna’ talk to you no more you empty headed animal’s food trough wiper”. Quite possible the best insult in cinematic history!

And then there is “The Black Knight” and let’s not forget “Brave Sir Robin”. I could go on and…[Read more]

Welcome back Pinky,

Wow!… Just read those apologies, that took guts! []

As for the poems, i don’t know if i have another one in me (that’s 2 in 1 week and now my head hurts).[][]

Jay

Good call,

I’m in the same position!

How about it guys?

Hey Arty,

Just make sure she comes back soon.

Don’t make me have to write another one!(i’m running out of rhyming words).[]

Jay

Morning all,

Whilst i appreciate the efforts of those above it appears we have been unsuccessful in our quest.[!]

This leaves me with no option than to enforce plan B.[]

Arty,

Please inform Pinky that until she returns as an active member of this forum, her former associates here will be subjected to random acts of appalling poetry[]*(see…[Read more]

Don’t give up just yet Arty, we’ll have that girl of yours back soon i’m sure.

I’ve just started a post for those that want to see her back and i guess the rest will be up to you.

Jay
