Be sure to do the broom test before you get too excited about the Boxster. With a helmet your head cant be withing 2 inches of the line from the top of the windscreen to the top of the roll bars behind the seat.

Loved my S, would get another one. If the car has been around this long it is probably fine. Just remember cars that have been owned a while are typically sold because they have a problem(s) the owner is tired of messing with. Just make sure it's something easy to fix.

Morning y'all,

hubby up early to do some weeding, and trimming of the bushes in the garden, he did some yesterday but by 9 it was too bloody hot and humid to stay outside, so he finished it off today. Me I'm doing the ironing, so a fun day all round so far!

Clay and cartridges, mmmm better look at that, will have to ask Paul what I need, have got to get off my bum and phone Mrs Paul this week to start making arrangments for the food for BBQ and refreshments, etc.

Ha ha. Yes, you are correct, Jim. They don't have the water slides ending up in a pool anymore. Just a long extended luge almost. So when you stand to exit, you don't have the advantage of standing in the pool and adjusting your bathing suit before getting out.

And then in the wave pool, it's the opposite. But that was at least better so after the wave, your tush is hidden and you have the chance of pulling up your bottoms. BOARD SHORTS. Gotta love them. I don't know professional female surfers do it with the teeny tiny suits I have seen on some of them. I have seen photos of their malfunctions as well. But with them, malfunctions are way hot. Not from a mother of two boys taking them to a waterpark. Ha ha!!!

Long live the King!!

My friend Veronique who lives in Bruges is probably having a party!! Woohoo Veronique, must send her a message on fb to cellebrate the new king!

Tweeze lol, when I wasn't so round, and the kids were much younger they would have been pretty mortified if their Mum was showing toosh or boobs at the water park!!!

Jeff, wonder where they got the fireworks, they are not easy to get in Oz. Here wow it is epic the stuff they have got at the local supermarket. Put earplugs in and go back to bed.

Damn I got a small piece of glass in my foot that I cant dig out. I am resorting to a snake bite suction kit to try and pull it out. I don't do well with my feet getting messed with, I think I would almost rather take a shot to the nads

You can still buy fireworks in the NT for territory day, but you can only buy it on the day. Its all the good stuff too. That was over three weeks ago and we've had fireworks going off for three weeks now. It's getting a bit old.

Because its once a year people buy up big and use it at various private functions throughout the year. Most people take it out camping and put on a show for the kids (done this in the past myself).

out camping scaring the bejesus out of critters is one thing, upsetting the neighbours, well that's a whole different thing!!!

Like Rick said, get a BFG and scare the sheeet out of them with a blast over their heads.


Oh yeah I forgot, its Oz not 'Merica!!!! hahahaha

I was thinking milo

Although the other option sounds appealing it'd prolly be more slap than tickle at this time of the morning.
