Just came back from seeing the movie of the same name. It's a blood curdling kidnap/torture/murder flick set in the Oz outback with John Jarratt as a convincingly creepy maniac. Loosely based apparently on the Ivan Milat backpacker murders of a few...

Is anyone familiar with an Australian comedy duo (I think) called Austentatious? - I heard them a few years back, but can find no trace of them.

It's interesting times in our household. My five year-old sin has developed a habit of sleepwalking.He has quite often, in recent months, uncontrollable crying/ screaming fits. I understand that you should not try and wake a child in this instance but...

Now that 3 weeks or so have passed, I feel I can pass on the story without giving myself nightmares.We were on a morning game drive, me, my wife and the guide David. David was a very cool Maasi, and a top guide. As is usual during a long drive, I...

This "The Register" article makes me go hmmm. Specialists generalising? Despite the compelling arguments for not allowing the #$%&@ X stians to run any damn thing of importance I still don't think it's reasonable or desireable to let the bloody scientists do the same.

So it's on yer bike again. When will the CSA be sorted.http://news.bbc.co.uk/

I purchased an old quad set from Emporium Hifi in Suffolk through the web and made a payment promptly after the agreement of purchase last week. Since then I asked them tracking # for the shipment through emails, but no answer. I made phone calls for...

Over the past few weeks I've been walking through Europe with Kirsty and throughly enjoyed her offerings. I found the whole series a bit like the best of The World Service but with pictures so if you get a chance to watch the repeats (whenever) then...

I think my 63 yr old mother has been "done" by this firm. She has paid them £8,500 for some roofing work and now she has been left with a leaking roof (it didnt do this before!). They seem to think that a "week or two" is adequate for getting...
