    You'd think teaching your dog to come ,sit+stay,pick-up their landmines and give them regular exercise would be part of dog ownership.
    Save alot of hassles all round.

    As of next week my local tip is only opening weekends and closing permanently in January. This leaves only 3 tips on the Gold Coast that will accept commercial green waste. Can't wait for the long queues.

    And the lids from the termite traps that the mower loves to shred.

    Honda parts marketing. Broke the throttle cable on my UMK435 whippy (the one with bike handles). You can't just buy the cable, you have to buy the whole throttle assembly, handpiece, wiring and cable.....for $52. A cable for a 219D is $18.95.

    You should put that on the Honda thread. See what sort of PR spin they can put on it, and still not solve anything.

    Dont bother, Honda have shown there lack of interest in honest answers, a no show for 3 weeks, and ignored all the hard questions. Must have run out of PR spin.
