Hi everyone,

Can someone please explain to me why we can’t make water. I think that it’s H2O? Can’t scientists in factories combine these elements and make endless amounts of water? I know it’s a stupid question, but I need an answer.

I’m sure that the state governments could put together some money to make all school sports grounds and local footy grounds out of this synthetic material. They could even research into a new fabric that is more life like. This would be a very low maintenance alternative to the dirt patches which our kids have to play on while the drought continues to wreak havoc.

I have hundreds of pictures of wildlife and natural wonder that
I have taken in my travels around Australia. I want to display them somewhere, but don’t know the best way to do it. I thought about selling them on E-bay, but I know that if someone wants them bad enough, they can download them anyway. Any ideas?

Also, want to get some digital photography lessons.

Australian custom officers were doing their job and stopping fraudulant clothing containers from entering the country. The 1000’s of garments that they seized where driven to a tip and buried under ground! Surely, in the day and age of “Make Poverty History” banners and concerts, the Australian government can step in and freight these goods to third world countries who are in desperate need of these perfectly good garments, or even closer to home they could be dealt out to the thousands of homeless Australians freezing through a harsh winter. It looks like corporate pride going too far. A great waste and total lack of initiative by all parties involved. What do you think?

Hey all!! I am one of the worst cooks in the world. I have posted for some recipes on here before and have had some great advice from fellow nookers. I have now decided to bite the bullet and go for some professional help. My only problem is that I can’t find a Chinese cooking course. Can anyone help?

There are companies that currently sell and install “Grey-water recycling kits”. The idea being that you run all of your shower and washing machine water through them and save on the back-pain of carrying buckets from the shower. Is this not an area that the government should be subsidising as they do with the rain water tanks? Sustainability well into the future is the key.

If GLOBAL WARMING and carbon emission are such HUGE problems, why are we having to wait another 3-4 years for hydrogen cars in Australia? The technology has advanced to a stage where they will be available in the USA and Japan next year. The only emission from a Hydrogen car is H2O (water). Why not have a 10 litre water catching device in the boot and use the emissions to water your garden. I just don’t understand why we have to wait so long? Could it be that the HUGE GLOBAL oil companies are holding the technology back? Hmmmmmm
