The plan is to buy a unit here and get used to it and get maps installed before we go so it will be Aussie centric.

Paul it has now become somewhat of a point of honour?? that I can claim to never having actually owned my own mobile phone. They have all been company phones so I don't pay any bills and get free upgrades as needed.

Probably it is more that I'm no techno-dweeb so if I follow the technical trends for any gear, I'm 3 - 4 years behind.

Don't doubt some of this stuff can be useful but it's just not me. We've probably only had our big Sony TV for a year but have to admit I'm hooked on my boy's Battlefield 3 game and playing on the 55" screen is a buzz, even if play this badly.

Anyway when I can tear myself away from the shoot up stuff I just build stuff and enjoy the shed life ala below -

Would admit I'd wished my brother and I had just made a better choice of boat to buy but when we couldn't move it on again, I just rolled up the sleeves and got on with tearing out all the rotted gear (read almost all of the main boat area and transom).

The best thing about finishing off the powerboat is that I'm committed to then working the cobra over to completion - OS travel jaunts aside!!

Plus I can go fishing when I have no better leisure options to choose from - life's tough - ho hum!!
