I saw a movie last night that reminded me of you Banjo, although the situation was actually quite different.
Its 'The Soloist' starring Jamie Foxx and Robert Downery Jr.
Foxx plays a musically brilliant kid who gets a scholarship in to Julliard musical school for the cello, but becomes so obsessed with his music that he starts hearing voices and loses it and drops out, becoming one of the 90,000 homeless in Los Angeles, where he lives on the street, endlessly playing Beethoven on an old two-strong violin.
There he eventually meets Downey, who plays a newspaper columnist, and they develop an interesting relationship, sometimes great and sometimes rocky, which stretches and benefits them both. I laughed out loud at some scenes and was deeply moved at others.
As I said, its quite a different situation to you, but still interesting. Unlike most Hollywood pics this is real and the ending is not some happy clappy scene. Apparently its based on a true story written by the real columnist with the Los Angeles Times.
The reason I thought of you was at one stage Downey is telling a social worked he should get Foxx diagnosed by a psychiatrist and the social worker tells him to look at the troubled people in the room who have all been diagnosed by shrinks and it hasn't done them any real good because the biggest thing most of them need is a real friend. So I remembered your comments about this thread helping you to find friends.

Anyway, you might enjoy it...

Hey Banjo, how's the house hunting going? Got a quote from that mob in Queensland on a Low Level Coolant Alarm, $180 delivered, guess thats $20 cheaper than AL4X4. Went to Super Crap as you suggested and when I asked for one of those alarms, the staff looked at me as if I had come from Mars. THEY DID NOT HAVE A CLUE WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT!!!!:o so I upstakes and went over to ISP, behind the Redrooster shop at Glendale and the guy there knew what I was talking about but said they didn't keep them, he suggested a Four Wheel drive shop.;) Freelander is booked in next week to have the tranny repaired, will take a major, major hit in the wallet.:( SWMBO and me had a big discussion about this during the last few days and we decided to go ahead.:)

Thats great about the tranny..super crap have an alarm for low water for your wipers..i know repco has them i seen the in one of there catalogues we done a couple of weeks ago.its the same thing when the water doesnt touch the sensor it goes off it would do the same for coolant & i think it was $19.95 or $21.95...they have variety of differant one for all thing..

The thing that worries me about using one of those alarms is maintaining pressure in the coolant system. In theory you could put the sensor in the overflow container, but how would you seal it off?:confused: Oh, and when I get the Freeby back lookout Stockton Beach!!!!!!

Dont forget to take your camera so as you can post it on U TUBE....:oops2::woot::Rolling:

Yeah mate, sorry to hear about your housing problems, the stress must be terrible. As far as druggies are concerned I had enough problems on that front years ago with my step son, it was a terrible time and it was a battle we lost and the drugs won. We brought up five kids (all adults now, of cause) and every one of them has a different personality, the other four managed to stay away from drugs after seeing the damage it causes. Although I do suspect my daughter did some experimenting.:(

I wish I could help you on the housing front, but unfortunately as the Landrover is keeping me broke I don't have any investment properties to rent out. Also bringing up five kids tends to keep you broke.:) Willing to supply labour to help you shift if you need help though!!!!:D

As far as taking the Freeby on Stockton Beach is concerned, I am not an experienced person on that front, but a neighbour let me drive his Jeep on the beach a few weeks ago. So when I do go (being a novice) I will go with experienced people until I build up confidence!!!:)
