    The English Language

    Peoples is fine to use. "The peoples of South America" - referring to all the different groups of people who live in the area. I before E is being phased out. There is far too many exceptions to the rule for it to be considered worthwhile.

    I got QFM HPX and they make hardly any dust at all plus they stop really well and don't cost a bundle either. Will stick with the QFM pads.

    Choking

    My Calais does the same thing if it is moved short distances. Don't know if you're moving short distances but if you do, leave it run for a little bit before shutting it down and it doesn't shudder on start up.

    Steven Pinker has written a book about languages and the basis of language development. I teach English for a living so the development of language and how people learn is of particular interest to me. Pinker wrote a book called The Language Instinct. In a chapter titled Mentalese, he...

    Question for you aussies RE cop cars

    In Queensland they ran the Fatal 4 campaign which involved 4 different coloured police cars. As for the others, there is still a majority of them painted white. Red HWP of course and blue patrol cars. It is for visibility as much as anything else. "All marked patrol vehicles, except...

    BC and AD gone with new curriculum

    They weren't paid to come up with the BC-AD/BCE-CE change. They were paid to create a National Curriculum. This part is a tiny fragment which the media have grabbed hold of and made the public think its a waste of money. They would have spent less time talking about changing the terms than...

    BC and AD gone with new curriculum

    Firstly, the National Curriculum is on shaky legs as it is. There are states dropping out left, right and centre. Which states this applies to is changing every few months. Secondly, the use of CE and BCE is just keeping the curriculum up to date with best practice of historical studies. The...

    BC and AD gone with new curriculum

    BCE and CE have been used by historians for a long, long time. Its not a new thing and it is simply bringing the education system in line with the rest of the academic world. It really is about time given that textbooks and resources have been using the terms and the curriculum hasn't included them.

    Ideas for a squeaky Calais?

    I have a V6 VZ Calais, which has developed a random squeak that my mechanic and I cannot find. It is entirely stock. When I bought the car, the water pump was on the way out and the timing cover gasket had a slight leak. Neither required urgent attention. A squeak began to develop during this...

    20" tyre dilemma

    I have Toyo Proxes 4's and they're fantastic. I had Nankang's before and I thought they were rubbish, especially in the wet and they wore really quickly. Like the others have said, don't skimp on tyres. Not only safety but nothing worse than buying crap tyres, having them wear quickly and...

    This is the annoying bit; "Golliwogs are deeply offensive to Americans because of their perceived links to slavery and racism. " Perceived links? Not actual links. No real ties to slavery or racism. Its just perceived to be offensive. FFS!

    what tyres do u suggest?

    The Proxes 4's in 19" were $250-260 when I got mine. For 18's I think they were $220-$240. Much better than the Pirelli and Michelin's which were quoted at $400+.

    wanna do up my car but not sure on the do's and don'ts

    Think about the practicalities of a low, kitted Commodore in Dalby as well. The roads from Dalby are awful and don't mix too well with lowered cars. A mate tore his lowered XR6 apart doing that drive. Also, try getting a lowered R8 kitted Commodore into or out of the Coles carpark and you'll...

    Red Light Cameras

    In Queensland, if you even creep over the line on a red light and stop, you get a photo taken. My brother got one when he stopped at a red light and put the front wheels over the line. Regardless of whether you continue, you've entered the intersection.

    Job - Primary School Teacher

    In Queensland teaching positions are determined on a points system. For instance, working in a regional centre might earn you 2 points a year. Getting to a metropolitan centre like Brisbane, might take 20-25 points. After 10 years, the points are deleted and you start again. So, usually the...
