Hi, aren’t we glad to live in the age of modern anaesthesia and prosthetics.
In days of yore, a gammy leg was a life sentence.

I concur with Mitch92 above in that Online forums are definitely dwindling in their traffic.
I look at this Forum almost daily and have contributed to a few posts, but have never started a post.

The Prado forum struggles to get two new posts a week, the Pajero forum is far more active but still down from a decade ago, the Caravanners forum still seems to have plenty of use, though I've only been a member for a few years.
ExplorOz now probably only has 2-3 per day, well down from a decade ago and they have just increased their fees for members (non member option still there with reduced service levels) and they have advertising. Landcruiser Forum died completely a few years ago.
I'm not a Facebook user, but my wife is and tells me there is substantial traffic on brand specific vans/vehicles.
I think it will be very difficult to reboot this Brett and Jillsy. I personally wouldn't be interested in a Mens Shed type of Forum.

Thanks for all your efforts so far, I have voted on the poll.

To me it makes more sense to have the hooks on the camper/caravan and rated G shackles on the 4by. I admit, I have no knowledge of legalities or anything else related to hooks (currently still use D shackles) but I have considered changing to hooks.

They are quicker and easier to hook up (pun intended) than D shackles

Yeah, amazing that you can do that so quickly!

With my hip, I think it was next morning, using a wheelie-walker.

Thank you for all of your replies so far Folks.

Keep them coming and don't forget to vote.

I have just come off a run of nights shifts and Brett is on his way home from work (been gone for 8 days) so we'll hopefully get a chance to look at a few things.

If I could just win the lotto this could all be solved  :)

Hi, those of us who are fortunate enough not to live in Lonnie don't really care. It's just a foggy, blokey sort of place with pockets of perfection around the circumference.

Typed with phat fumbs


As a former Tasmanian I am pleased to see that the north / south rivalry hasn't diminished.

When I was a young bloke the southerners used to say that the beer from the north - Boags - resembled the output of a feline pet. Funnily enough the northerners said the same about Cascade. Now the liquor outlets have a thousand varieties so I guess the parochial choices have all but disappeared.

It is definitely pronounced Lonseston or Lonnie but thinking phonetically where you wash your clothes is it the lawndry or the londry, do you lonch a rocket or lornch it ? Anyway austastar I think we are about to discover, following your post, just how many Launcestonians visit the forum.

Oh and by the way - the one beer that we mainlanders can't buy on the big island is Cascade Draught. Can you please tell the brewery that there is a ship now that connects the two islands so they can toss a few slabs our way?

Thanks

Rowlie
