Brett, , , 0 comment

  Sounds on the River 2015 – Review This was my first time at the Sounds on the River festival and was amazed at the organised infrastructure of the event. Upon arrival at the camping ground/car park we had to line up for about 20 minutes before we were picked up by a large bus that took us to the riverfront for a gold coin donation . The atmosphere was lively on the bus as most punters had consumed some ‘travellers’ on the way down to Mannum. The crowd was…

Your 40+ Man Having A Mid Life Crisis? . . .Can You Spot Him?

Brett, , 0 comment

1.Mr Party Animal – This is the guy that still thinks he is the life of the party, and usually has the loudest shirt as well. He thinks he still has the moves on the dance floor but is far from his prime.

Dave Faukner is the mainstay with his prolific songwriting ability and onstage banter coming…

Apple Turnover Required

Brett0 comment

I drive past this apple store everyday and it should be an iconic landmark in the Adelaide Hills. The Big Apple itself is so dull and dirty you almost miss it completely.

Bagging a Bargain at Half the Price!

Brett0 comment

Can someone please explain ” LADY LOGIC” to me??? Tanya proudly came home with a new handbag last night and said she picked up a bargain at ‘half price’. I said ” Why was it reduced? …Is there a fault?” Tanya said ” the only fault is that it doesn’t open properly” ( it opens ‘half way’ – refer pic) I said ” but isn’t that the whole purpose of a bag…to be able to open it to put things in?” Tanya said “I guess so, but I will just…
