    When donating stuff..

    This is interesting. Being a Charitable Organisation can mean a lot of things. I've worked for one Charity fixing Peace-Keeping equipment in Seirra Leone, another one looking for landmines in Bosnia and another one walking dogs here in Perth. It's all Charity work whether dodging bullets or...

    When donating stuff..

    I've seen a few people wear them here - ok, this is Perth in Australia, so maybe we're still stuck in the 80s (which is highly likely) or at the forefront of a new age of retro fashion....

    When donating stuff..

    those "Frankie Says" shirts are getting back into fashion - which is Good News for us old people who have been wearing them for years..... I still dress like it's 1993 anyway, so I expect my sartorial rennaisance to be just around the corner...hopefully - hey I'm still cool!!! :)

    GM told some dealers to stop selling Chevy Cruz.

    Is that the same engine as Holden/GM used for their Commodore Down Under? Think it's known as the SIDI or GMHF engine.

    McDonald's Says Its Restaurants Got Too Complicated

    I think.....when you go to McDee's, you just want a 1/4pounder meal or similar, if you want something like what they serve at the McCafe section then you'd actually go to a decent cafe.... Maccies should really stick to what they're known for... I was talking to the Manager of my local...

    Deaf/HoH Jokes

    When announced to my friends on Facebook that I was going deaf and needed HA's, one of them posted this :- A man goes to the Doctor "Doctor" he says ""I think I'm going deaf" "I see" said the Doctor "What are the symptoms?" The man said "Well, it's a show on TV with little yellow people...

    Skyrim!

    I've never played any of the Fallout games. Been trying to find them but I think they've been discontinued. Does anyone know where I could try online (that does free or cheap shipping to Australia? I'd buy through Steam, but my Bandwidth usage is severely limited!)

    Just cars. Lover of Cars

    I like those E-type Jags. I used to work at the Land-Rover plant in Solihull in the UK with some of the ex-Jag guys. They could always tell a good story :) Mentioning Mustangs, it's a pity Ford never exported the Srt6/V8 Falcon from Australia to the USA and marketed it as a four-door...

    What are some interesting ways people have met?

    I met my missus at a karate tournament in 2005. She kicked me in the head and it kinda went from there. To be honest, nothing we ever go through in our married life could ever be as painful as those first few moments.

    GM told some dealers to stop selling Chevy Cruz.

    These are sold over here as a Holden Cruze - not very big sellers though... I guess it's a safety issue. When I worked at Land-Rover in Solihull back in the UK, they'd send cars out with minor faults as it was cheaper to issue a recall and fix the problem at the dealers rather than stop the...

    Favorite childhood movies?

    Watership Down. Dune. The Dark Crystal. Labyrinth. Return to Oz. I think I must have had a very odd childhood, some of those films are actually fairly creepy!

    Thinking about studying and a change of career...

    I don't know. The Manager said he could see me being Team Leader within a year when I first started there (2 years ago now) then 6 months after I join, the Supervisor brings in a guy from outside to be my Team Leader who has no experience in the field, no experience in being a Team Leader, does...

    Thinking about studying and a change of career...

    Hi Folks, As some of you might know, I work in the steel manufacturing and warehousing/logistics trade. Our occupational Health and Safety advisor at work has now classed me as a "High Risk Employee" because of my hearing loss. Quite why they have done this is frankly beyond me as my...

    Deaf couple find shocking note on lost luggage

    This seems an honest - if rather insensitive- mistake. The person who wrote the note wouldn't have known any better.

    Are hospitals good workplaces for hard of hearing?

    Hopefully I'll soon find out. Applied for a job as medical storemen with the new A$2 Billion hospital thats being built. I would imagine working in the medical field - even in a fairly lowly position - would be a very fair working environment..
