I have been featured on the main front page of our local newspaper here on the Sunshine Coast. It covers mainly my Garden Model Railway and it is to do with all the things you can do when you retire.
I would like to share it with you blokes and blokesess’ but I don’t know how to do it!
Any advice
Ian.
PS I have also discovered eBay and have bought 20 items in two weeks and have run out of money.
Ian,
To share it you need to wrap it around a case of beer and send to my address here on the mainland of the United States. At which time it will be prompty shared.[(-D]

Ian, open an account at shutterfly.com. Copy the pictures to the website. Then let me know and it takes just a few minutes after that.
Tim
E-mail it to me, and all post it. For no beer, sorry Rastun
Hey Ian,
That is really exciting news. Good for you. Would love to see the article if at all possible. Rgds eh…Brian.
Does your newspaper have a website? Maybe we can read it there.

Cool!
I was featured in the newspaper a while ago, but it wasn’t a “positive experience.”[B)]
Ian, which newspaper and maybe we can look it up. Good idea Ian P. [8D][8D]
Tim
Well blokes thanks for that, i will try to find out if it has a web site I don’t even know the name of the paper but I will find out.

I can’t find the LIFE supplement link. But as an avid motorcycle rider and restorer, I am much pleased to see a great deal of that activity down your way. I am also horrified at the front page news of 2 dead and 8 injured in an MC pile up. Just goes to show that good news doesn’t sell even downunder.

After finding the archived news section all I found was:
Sunday, March 13, 2005
• Ambo dies despite mate’s valiant surf rescue bid
• Councillors inspect Chevallum problem
• Beware! There’s evil in your garden
• Parents of disabled kids put through hell
• Nothing beats lots of exercise to beat flab
• Schools rule mobile calls
• Man suffers two broken arms after accident
• Too many twinkle toes
• Equine history inspires sculptor
Unfortunatley nothing on The autumn of thier lives.
Jack
Couldn’t find it on the site. Found archives for Sunday March 13 but not for the artical you said it was in. Did I do something wrong?
Hi Ian, couldn’t find your bit mate but loved the bit about petrol expected to rise to $1-10 by easter. If that’s per litre then you pay the same as us(ish), if it’s per gallon then you lucky b**ads!!
Cheers,
Kim

It is there and i am sorry that no one has been able to find it, it is obvious you are pretty close. It is the life supplement in the middle between pages 18 and 19, please try again and if you do no good i will ring the paper and find out how to get in.
It is the biggest pro Garden model railway thing I have ever seen. Tara the young lady reporter really did us proud.
Regards Ian
Ian,
Newpapers don’t usualy upload supplement’s on to their website.
The best thing to do is scan it, ( get a friend to scan it for you if you don’t have a scanner) and then email it to one of us who has web space and we can send the link out.
You can email it to me if you want.
Kimbrit, we may live down the bottom of the world, but we are not altogether backwards. We are a modern metric society down here. Things such as miles, inches, gallons and pounds mean nothing down here any more.
Everything is expressed in dollars, litres and metres down here, and has been since before 1970.
In these matters we are years ahead of some of the so-called world leaders on the top half of the globe.[:D]

Ok I am working on all this; Doreen is a bit better with computers than me and she thinks she can find something out that will helps
Hang on men
