TO Jim Stibbe’s family, he was the quirky brother who loved his cars and loved to annoy. They did not realise who widely known their brother was, and the impact he had on other people’s lives, until he died in a car crash near Gympie on April 3.When his sister, Wendy, decided to set up a Facebook page in his memory, she discovered 117 emails from Jim’s friends which she personally responded to "and they were still coming in after that."There are indications Jim was involved, perhaps as a modera..>> view originalSiblings create DIY mechanical garage in Forest Glen

PLANNING a wedding can be a daunting task. When you throw in the fact that you’re planning it by email, communicating with people whose first language is not English, in a country that you may not have visited before, it’s a whole different kettle of fish. The risk of things going wrong dramatically increase, and suddenly the colour scheme’s importance is thrown out the window when you’re asked questions about how you’d like things positioned in a setting that you’ve never set eyes on.

IF ONE is handed a box of chocolates and told 10% of them are poisoned, would you be able to pick the poisoned ones? Probably not.
