The ones that I wanted were $4 each, and I needed 12 - so $48. It pissed me off to see the same thing on the Screwfix website for 80p each. The price of electrical fittings is insane but I am fortunate to have contacts in the trade who can get me stuff for below trade price.

Kites were seen, bought and flown ... German Sausages were consumed with nary a thought for the expense or, indeed, the war.

Lots of free stuff too ... balloons, Sizzler snacks, wine tasting, aerobatic display, skydivers.

It's on tomorrow as well so I'd recommend anyone in the Redcliffe area to wander along ...

Think we might take a drive to Redcliffe, going to walk across the gateway bridge too so it's going to be a real action packed sunday.

Have just been looking for a stand to put my laptop on. Ikea have something that will do the job (Dave laptop stand), prices are...

• USA - A$20 (US$18)
• UK - A$28(GBP17)
• AU (VIC/NSW/QLD) - A$50
• AU (WA/SA) - A$60

Maybe it's "hardened for australian conditions"

Wish now I bought both our cars over.
Price of cars are shocking.

A friend of mine bought his over and only cost him grand to do it(pounds).

I left a Polo and diesel Passat back home in the UK, they would be worth a hell of a lot more over here too.
Would of saved myself $20/25k dollars buying the two here.

But Oz is has its pluses, but not so many for us at the moment.
