I was just having a look at the dates of the Australian Open (19 Jan - 1 Feb) and it turns out they clash with the Asian Cup (9 Jan - 31 Jan). Now because we are hosting the Asian Cup, we are going to see a massive influx of terrorists tourists in January.

I wasn't sure if you knew what it was but good to hear you use them often.

It is the perfect ring, fully adjustable, looks good and really cheap as you can get them from Bunnings for about $1 :D

As for making it platinum, that would put the price up above $1000 making it the most expensive hose clamp :D
Bots, send it up to me + I'll add some Swarovski crystals + Martha Stewart glitter! It'll be just soooo prertty

Two words: n o.

Not for clothes anyway. I need to feel the fabric, try stuff on, I really dislike online shopping tbh.
Now this is where you young gals should have learned to sew + then you'd know about fabric + fit!

I buy most of my clothes online, because I can tell if it will fit me, plus mumus aren't difficult to fit ;)

Worm drive hose clamps > Anything at Tiffany & Co.
I reckon Tiffany & Co could learn something from the manufacturers of those hose clamps, SC. But then, I guess, they wouldn't make any money on alterations, would they? Perhaps that's why they don't use the worm drive method of adjustable sizing?

You are right, Kitty- and I was stirring you but I think you need to have a mix of stuff. I would hate for everyone to buy online and for all of our shops to disappear - though I think there are FAR too many big shopping centres. Out here, you only need to drive 5-10 minutes in any direction and there's a huge complex taking up loads of land. Everything only 1 storey high, carparks too small (no multilevel car parks)... what a waste! And they whinge about urban sprawl.

What would all the teenagers and Uni students do if the shops closed down? Run postal delivery routes?
But the great thing is that many boutiques do both - as in my examples previously.

I definitely agree "there are FAR too many big shopping centres". When I went visit my auntie in US, her DIL too me to a Mall - Montgomery Mall in fact, because she said I HAD to see a typical US Mall. I nearly fell off the seat, thank goodness I was wearing a seat belt - it was a Westfield :eek: + I had the last laugh telling them that Westfield was Australian owned lol

They also have the strip Malls in US, very ugly things.

Perhaps the teenagers + Uni students could meet in cafes in parks? Or read books, bought online lol I'm very much anti commercial/shopping/materialism for kids - well for everyone! Save their $$$ + travel (then go shopping OS :p)

I think we're almost outdoing the most 'outdoing' country in the 'most shopping centres' competition ;)
And wrt the teenagers/Uni students- I was talking about them all working as checkout chicks/boys or having nightfill jobs.
The more we spend, the more we need to work to spend more... then we throw it away...

There are loads of other Geelong DVDs- e.g. from shows presented on Foxtel. You probably need to add "Decade of Domination" to your collection. Plus "Inner Sanctum" and maybe even see if you can find one called "Son of a Gun" and one called "Down at Kardinia Park" (I don't have the latter but do have the others).
I have all the ones you suggested, they were gifts with purchase when I bought the DVD's + in fact I have about five Inner Sanctum DVD's lol

I have "insufficient privileges to view". LOL, Shell has my number, she can just text me anything that I may need to know which can't be transmitted via PM.
oh, are you underprivileged, like me, Strangled? It's a sad, sad world when I can't even spy on what you guys are all getting up to on Facebook! :D

Why not groceries Bots?

I buy everything for the house, laundry, kitty litter online, but I buy my food at the local shops.
Not having to struggle with kilos and kilos of groceries (esp when it's raining) is the best thing ever about Coles online.
Buy all canned/tinned/pasta type goods. Also LL Milk, juice, etc. And stock up on fruit, veg, chicken etc on a weekly basis myself.

I only use Coles online every 6 weeks or so too.
