WEIRD........... But Very Interesting!!! Enjoy!!!! Homographs are words of like spelling but with more than one meaning. A homograph that is also pronounced differently is a heteronym. You think English is easy?? I think a retired English teacher was bored...THIS IS GREAT! Read all the way to the end................. This took a lot of work to put together! 1) The bandage was wound around the wound. 2) The farm was used to produce produce. 3) The dump was so full that it had to refuse more refuse. 4) We must polish the Polish furniture.. 5) He could lead if he would get the lead out. 6) The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert.. 7) Since there is no time like the present, he thought it was time to present the present. 8) A bass was painted on the head of the bass drum. 9) When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes. 10) I did not object to the object. 11) The insurance was invalid for the invalid. 12) There was a row among the oarsmen about how to row. 13) They were too close to the door to close it. 14) The buck does funny things when the does are present. 15) A seamstress and a sewer fell down into a sewer line. 16) To help with planting, the farmer taught his sow to sow. 17) The wind was too strong to wind the sail. 18) Upon seeing the tear in the painting I shed a tear.. 19) I had to subject the subject to a series of tests. 20) How can I intimate this to my most intimate friend? Let's face it - English is a crazy language. There is no egg in eggplant, nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren't invented in England or French fries in France. We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.. And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the plural of booth, beeth? One goose, 2 geese. So one moose, 2 meese? One index, 2 indices? Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend? If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it? If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught? If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat? Sometimes I think all the English speakers should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane. In what language do people recite at a play and play at a recital? Ship by truck and send cargo by ship? Have noses that run and feet that smell? How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out and in which, an alarm goes off by going on. English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race, which, of course, is not a race at all. That is why, when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible. PS. - Why doesn't 'Buick' rhyme with 'quick' ? You lovers of the English language might enjoy this . There is a two-letter word that perhaps has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that is 'UP.' It's easy to understand UP, meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list, but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake UP ? At a meeting, why does a topic come UP? Why do we speak UP and why are the officers UP for election and why is it UP to the secretary to write UP a report? We call UP our friends. And we use it to brighten UP a room, polish UP the silver; we warm UP the leftovers and clean UP the kitchen. We lock UP the house and some guys fix UP the old car. At other times the little word has real special meaning. People stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP an appetite, and think UP excuses. To be dressed is one thing, but to be dressed UP is special. A drain must be opened UP because it is stopped UP. We open UP a store in the morning but we close it UP at night. We seem to be pretty mixed UP about UP! To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of UP, look the word UP in the dictionary. In a desk-sized dictionary, it takes UP almost 1/4th of the page and can add UP to about thirty definitions. If you are UP to it, you might try building UP a list of the many ways UP is used. It will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don't giveUP, you may wind UP with a hundred or more. When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP. When the sun comes out we say it is clearing UP. When it rains, it wets the earth and often messes things UP. When it doesn't rain for awhile, things dry UP. One could go on and on, but I'll wrap it UP, for now my time is UP, so.......it is time to shut UP! Now it's UP to you what you do with this email.

Hi Richard, A little OT .... But how are the mirrors?

Hi Colin & Gayleen, I visited Home Valley myself about 3 years ago.... & I must admit that I was somewhat underwhelmed in the place it was not long after the Galls had stayed there & we stayed there on Barrys recomendation (only bum steer he has ever given me ). I think Im right in saying the managers father (of Home Valley) owns a Kedron. Just had a look at the photos of the dogs ..... they dont look to bad now..... Mardi sends licks

Colin, They say there is only a week between a good & a bad haircut is that the same for a dog groom?

I recently spent $6,500 on a young registered Black Angus bull. I put him out with the herd but he just ate grass and wouldn't even look at a cow. I was beginning to think I had paid more for that bull than he was worth. Anyhow, I had the vet come and have a look at him. He said the bull was very healthy, but possibly just a little young, so he gave me some pills to feed him once per day. The bull started to service the cows within two days, all my cows! He even broke through the fence and bred with all of my neighbor's cows! He's like a machine! I don't know what was in the pills the vet gave him ......... but they kind of taste like peppermint.

Reece, Did you get my PM? Regards Tony H

MAAAAAAAATE.... still waiting for the GC The daughter has lower back pain now ....which I'm told is the early stage of labour...... looks like I could have done the GCR after all LOL Regards to u & Gayleen..... Mardi sends 'licks'

Hi Colin & Gayleen, Dont miss out on Cape Keraudren, it is a beautiful spot ...... hopefully the weather will improve.... magnificent sunsets there & HUGE tides. Looking forward to reading your trip reports from the GCR trip :-)

Hi Bondi, I have a Codan NGT with a 9350 autotune antenna. I find this to be a great setup & would recomend I also belong to HF radio club www.hfradioclub.com.au (a great bunch of friendly, helpful people! .... just like Kedron owners)

Hi guys, Have u had a look @ the Kedron layouts page (on this site)? Have you spoken to Jan @ the sales yard? Speak to Stan @ the factory. Have u had a floor plan drawn up yet.... If so post it here & ask for feedback :-)

Wishing everyone a safe & happy trip.... either the west coast of Canada or the GCR....... Looking forward to the trip reports CU down the road.........

I know a very nice place you BOTH can convalesce in 'the hunter' looking forward to seeing you soon

Hi Colin, Looks like nail polish on the nails.... So I assume that's Gayleens hairy leg . OR do you have something to tell us?

Hi Colin, About 4 to 5 weeks to go....a little girl I'm told. Regards to Gayleen & licks from Mardi

You lucky buggers.... have a great trip Looking forward to the trip reports..... have a great time

Hi Gordon & Chris, Im assuming you have a 200 series. There has been a fair bit of discussion on www.lcool.org (200 sereis section) about these diodes. They have been available for some time now. I have ummed & arrhed about purchasing one for my 200, they boost the alternator output by only .5 volt! I have an Engel hard wired in the back of my 200 that runs 24/7 & I can leave it it without starting for upto three days... (not, that is NOT the maximum length of time you can leave it ....its how long I have left it before giving the truck a run to top up the batteries. For what Im doing & my situation, I can live without a booster diode....... just my two bobs worth PS still running original battery setup with no modifications.... other than std accessories

Hi Colin, I think congratulations are in order...... You certainly have set a NEW record in the number of 'hits' (over7,000 & increasing daily) your/this thread has created. How many days now till the trek takes off? Regards to you and Gayleen & Mardi sends licks!

Hi Sue, I have the same problem when I go on a cruise .... the bloody salt air shrinks my clothes Have a great trip & a safe, happy easter to all!

Hi Russ, I presume you are talking about the round lights inside the van..... you threw me when you said .... there is a place to press at the "end" of the light. If you have the round diffuser, have a look around the 'side' of the lamp/light body & you will find a small plastic pin, note its position & directly opposite there will be another pin..... with a small phillips head screwdriver or similar press these pins in about 4 to 5mm & gently pull down on the plastic diffuser.... easy

Cold Winter Ahead? It's late fall and the Indians on a remote reservation in North Dakota asked their new chief if the coming winter was going to be cold or mild. Since he was a chief in a modern society, he had never been taught the old secrets. When he looked at the sky, he couldn't tell what the winter was going to be like. Nevertheless, to be on the safe side, he told his tribe that the winter was indeed going to be cold and that the members of the village should collect firewood to be prepared. But, being a practical leader, after several days, he got an idea. He went to the phone booth, called the National Weather Service and asked, 'Is the coming winter going to be cold?' 'It looks like this winter is going to be quite cold,' the meteorologist at the weather service responded. So the chief went back to his people and told them to collect even more firewood in order to be prepared. A week later, he called the National Weather Service again. 'Does it still look like it is going to be a very cold winter?' 'Yes,' the man at National Weather Service again replied, 'it's going to be a very cold winter.' The chief again went back to his people and ordered them to collect every scrap of firewood they could find. Two weeks later, the chief called the National Weather Service again. 'Are you absolutely sure that the winter is going to be very cold?' 'Absolutely,' the man replied. 'It's looking more and more like it is going to be one of the coldest winters we've ever seen.' 'How can you be so sure?' the chief asked. The weatherman replied, 'The Indians are collecting a shitload of firewood'

Hi Ronnie, Andrew & John have both made very good points... to which I agree. A 21ft (internal) Kedron is a BIG van.... do you need a van that size? There are a few threads on this site re tow vehicles, van layouts & general information about Kedron, when you have a few moments make a cuppa & sit down a have a read :-) You will find this site to freqented my many like minded people who generally are so ever willing to share their knowledge & experiances of owning a Kedron..... welcome to the group!
