Buttercup

We painted an old 1980 caravan. It was well prepared and we painted it with a white water based paint. There are now pollution shadows on the paintwork and we cannot remove them. Any ideas on what to use safely without stripping any paint away. We live in North Queensland and had a bad wet season. Thanks.

Need info on the routine T and D performed when he wore a black cape or used Torvill as the cape and at the end of the dance, Dean threw Torvill onto the ice like a cape. Just brilliant but I cannot find the name only Bolero - and that is not the one.

Many years ago, we saw a Warren Clarke TV show where he played a business man having an affair with his secretary. The closing theme showed Warren driving through London in his Jaguar with Jennifer Rush singing "I am your woman you are my man" . Can anybody help with the name of the TV show and if still available somewhere.

Our shower screen, clear glass, less than 1 year old, has water droplet marks which will not come off. Tried all suggested remedies and nothing will work. Class is spotless of all grease/scum etc. but tiny water droplets appear to have etched their way into the glass. We live in North Queensland with good city water. Any suggestions other than the norm. Someone suggested a vehicle product for the glass. Cheers.

We live in Townsville, Qld. Our banana plants are growing a treat. Our first banana has produced its first bunch but the stem keeps growing with no bananas and the 'pod' is still opening showing tiny bananas which fall off. Can we cut the stem at the base of the produced bananas or should we leave it till the pod is finished? Also when should we cover the bunch and when to cut it down. We have removed all the suckers except two around each plant. Many thanks.

The question I asked about native plants for front of house outside two bedroom windows - more info. We live in Townsville, Queensland and need Australian native bushes etc. Sorry about leaving this important info out of original question. Cheers.,

Want to plant native hedge/shrub/etc. in front of two bedrooms windows. Full sun in winter/no sun in summer. Ground is clay based and will be treated with gypsum, 100ml top of good garden soil, then teatree mulch. If possible, fast growing, will not grow too tall and does not attract birds. Obviously, outside the bedrooms. We have mixed ixoras along half the front but would like something new. Need plants that are drought resistant. Any ideas? Cheers

Need new clues to get rid of Indian Mynahs from our back garden. We live in North Queensland and with these pesty birds, we have no natives visiting. Started putting out Wild Bird Seed and will try mango slices for the natives - nothing yet. Yesterday, the pests scared off 3 large black cockatoos trying to rest in the trees. There must be a solution to get rid of these mynahs. Help.
