Whatever happened to the 4' (1.2m) between house and fence rule? ‘Very confused’: Shock as Gold Coast dream homes built just 40cm apart. Now that is totally ridiculous and 1 has to wonder if the council members who approved this had working brains at the time and if so where were those brains? |

I've built hundreds of houses with 4-inch air gaps between them. They look attached. There is a much higher builder liability on attached townhomes. So to avoid it we put air gaps between them. It does take a mindful crew to build in the correct order. Once a wall is done you can't complete the next one. |

I'd rather have a 3' gap which is the minimum in San Bernardino County in California for separate homes, Fire Insurance costs money for us mortals, for condos and townhomes I think it needs a fire rated dividing wall...

Ford is making a return. Is Ferrari being attacked again? Ford announces F1 return with Red Bull Racing. The blue oval is set to take on the world’s fastest car companies with a new tilt at the top echelon of global motorsport...Cheers. |

Well I'm not surprised at the price as the cost just to get it airworthy will be astronomical. Elvis Presley’s private jet sells at auction for $404,000. It really should've been sold decades ago before it got into such a sad state. Cheers. |

Pod racing coming, but it's not quite "Star Wars" style. Olympic Games 2032 inspires new technologies including world's first flying race car and holographic technology. Cheers. |

Don’t know if the pod racer will look the same by then. Technology changes constantly. |

That was an expensive mistake. A NSW man has made a “bloody expensive mistake”, pouring 230 litres of fuel that should have gone into his tank somewhere else. A NSW fisherman has made a “bloody expensive mistake” at the bowser, accidentally filling up his rod holder instead of the fuel tank and wasting 231 litres of petrol.You'd think that a boat owner would know the difference between a rod holder and a filler cap. Cheers. |

I was in the McDonald’s drive-through this morning and the young lady behind me leaned on her horn and started mouthing something because I was taking too long to place my order. So when I got to the first window I paid for her order along with my own. The cashier must have told her what I'd done because as we moved up she leaned out her window and waved to me and mouthed "Thank you.", obviously embarrassed that I had repaid her rudeness with kindness. When I got to the second window I showed them both receipts and took her food too. Now she has to go back to the end of the queue and start all over again, Don't blow your horn at old people, they have been around a long time. |

Definitely an educational moment for her. Sounds like something I would of done if in same situation... When I got to the second window I showed them both receipts and took her food too. Now she has to go back to the end of the queue and start all over again, |
