    All you need it a long screwdriver to unwind the tongue of the what ever it is called. They have put a slot there for that reason. Quite easy to do.

    My wife has recently had shingles. The doctor gave her pain killers and antibiotics. The scabs healed reasonably quickly but the pain lasted for 6 weeks. Condolences to your wife. As oldbomb has said chicken pox and shingles are from the same family.

    No concilation but I am just about over it and now my wife has it. Perhaps you need to pass it on to someone else. Cuddle up to beard. We both had our flu and covid jabs about a month ago. Well we haven't got covid.

    I take melatonin plus panadol an hour before I go to bed. In that last hour I read a car magazine, I've got about a hundred. The important thing is to wind down. However the melatonin seems to make me wee more so except for last night I have a broken sleep. The sleep specialist said it was...

    Losh's latest, 955 Triumph Sprint ST

    A friend of mine got fined $1,000 plus I think it was 6 demerit points for having his phone open on his lap. I wonder if the same would apply to a motor bike?

    I went to the local bookshop to buy a lotto ticket this morning. I don't go there all that often, perhaps once a month and that's to buy a crossword book. One of the workers nips off and comes back with the local paper. On the front page is a picture of yours truly at last weeks May day...

    What I read into this is the driver was at fault. Going downhill in third or fouth gear at speed. Though I have never driven a truck I understand they travel at the same speed going down a hill as they would going up That is they use the gearbox as a brake rather than the brakes themselves. I...

    Losh I think you should recuse yourself from this thread. You are only upsetting yourself plus Paul has you on permanent ignore. Nothing you can say will help Paul's situation. No criticism of yourself intended.

    Certainly won't be before the election. With it looking likely that we will have an LNP government after the elction then all bets will be off. I turn the sound off when they come on the tele so I won't know their response

    We have just got our power bill for the quarter. $225, so that means we wont have to pay a power bill if our power usage remains the same for over 18 months. Actually if the cost remains the same our power bill will be cheaper than that because we are going onto monthly billing and Atlinta have...

    We were advised by Energex that our meter was to be read last Wednesday. It was a bit of a pain because we both had to go out in the morning and our dog has to be restrained. However we were both back early so it wasn't an issue. The neighbours told us the meter reader hadn't been and for that...

    There perhaps is the difference. 1 5/8" tri y unknown brand. Yes there isn't much clearance. Power is 288 rwhp whatever that is in engine horsepower. My biggest issue was getting the clearance on the turbo 700. Even though there isn't much clearance there is no contact at any speed. My vh has...

    When I bought my first holden (HG ute) in 1989 it came with a column shift that had been shifted to the floor. For the life of me I can't remember what it was called. When I put the 308 in it I changed to a 4 speed floor. Now I reminisce, wish I still had it.
