Sorry to hear about your friend, Redneck.

Regarding the hedge.  Keep it.  Aesthetically much better than a fence and they add a touch of charm to a property.

well all lost your tongues?

Well today has been a bit of a drama email wise.

I decided after years of using an accountant to do my tax and today being the last day to do it myself, that I should have a go using etax.

Well, I thought I will have a look at last years tax return as a guide. I thought it should be on my email. Well searched high and low no luck.

Despite using an email program backup software a number of times only to find out that it is friggin useless as it only backs up some folders.

I am going to rename my username as Herb_The_Redneck

I then spent hours trying to work out a regular backup of the email ... Not agreat solution but I am working on it.

The trouble is with most backup software is its hard to go back and look through the software to look for  something like your emails without doing a restore which overwrites all your recent stuff

I use Acronis for main backups and used Mozbackup for my thunderbird  mail but it only backs up some stuff.

Four years ago I did just that. Best thing I ever did after years of sweating over trimming the hedge between my backyard and the neighbour's.

He died, and I was left doing the job every time instead of half the time.

Went to Bunnings and ordered all the Ready-Mix and Colourbond panelling I needed. Put it all up without any help.

But I could design a much more easy-fitting panel system than the Bluesteel people have with the colourbond.

In fact most stuff I buy I could improve the design through nothing but sheer commonsense.

Industrial designers are not the smartest people around by a long chalk. Pretty damn dumb, in fact.

Over and over I see design faults with the power tools I buy, and other stuff.

Sh!t for brains, most of those designers.

Don't get me started.
