Re: What books are you reading?

From the Qld library. A Better Place by Stephen Daisley. Stunning book about combat by the kiwis in Crete, Sicily and Italy. And the return home to NZ by damaged men trying to recover their lives. Really good book.

Re: How much money did you have at your disposal when you arrived in Cambodia? Poll.

I will be bankrupted soon over about $180,000 in debts but after three years all debts are wiped so it’s a pretty good deal. Only downside is that I can’t run for office so I w...

Re: Retirees, And The Lack Of Anything Meaningful

But her son was a remarkably gifted child, could crawl at two months, run at twelve months and read at two. A kid in a million, a maths whi...

Re: Retirees, And The Lack Of Anything Meaningful

I am 71 on the pension in tropical Australia, FNQ. The Khmer ex fucks around outrageously. I look after her two girls. I am busy working managing a 42 unit complex for $24,000 a year. I am busy with the kids, a shiftless 16 year old who is a mini mum and lazes around and a terrific 11 year old who e...

Re: Best place to buy - local roasted cashews

This is true, they use massive amounts of water. Far more than any other crop. California is a disaster because of them. Parts of cambodia would have a much higher water table so less irrigation required.
