    $50 tips for Xmas and from a relatively new client
    It kinda made up for the green ant that crawled up the inside of my strides and bit me in the crotch region

    Anything Ian says may or may not be garbage, it may also be his own opinion or it may not be his opinion at all, it may just be something he felt like stating anyone following his advice does so at their own risk and may be doing something Ian would actually advise against.
    And if you don't like what Ian has to say use the ignore function if you don't know how ask i will gladly tell you

    Just back from a week at Yamba.Had been a long time since we had done the coastal caravan park holiday,happy to report that the great aussie tradition hasn't been lost,there were families everywhere enjoying the sun & surf.The smell of BBQ's in the afternoon,kids actually playing and not engrossed in their electronic world and lets not forget the afternoon happy hour with those camped around you.
