Old canvas water bag We always had one of these on the front of our car when we went anywhere back in the 50s and 60s. My uncles who had cars had them as well. The water was always cool to drink, but had a canvas bag taste. It was refreshing on a hot day. Sometimes if the car overheated the...

Twelve months doesn’t seem much for what she did, and I’m guessing no one will ever get their money back. Still they were silly enough to give it to her, surely people should be starting to have enough sense not to be conned. Don’t really feel sorry for them.

This shows the true spirit of Australia. The graves look wonderful, the volunteers should be very proud to be bringing the cemetery back to a place where people can visit and share memories of past relatives and pioneers of the district. Tomorrow hubby and I and a good friend are going on a two...

I must confess to taking a travel lodge glass home with me when I was about 17. friend and I were on a snowy weekend coach trip at the time. I think most of the people on the bus took a glass, they had travel lodge engraved on them. Were very nice glasses. Don’t have it now, can’t remember what...

Maybe in more modest times it would have, but I think these days most women would be up for the challenge, nothing much scares todays women.

Cottees soft drinks We used to drink cottees soft drinks when we were young kids. We only ever had cordial on birthdays and Christmas, so it was always a big treat for us. There used to be a cordial factory at Rutherford in the Hunter valley that only closed in the 1970s or 1980s I think. It...

Our Bunnings has a variety of birds come and go in the store. They sometimes poop on the goods or floor. Because Bunnings have an open nursery area one end and an open trade area the other end, and a usually open door main entrance the birds come in and out all the time. They sometimes nest in...

That’s all well and good to buy and sell avocados and cucumbers for 5c each, BUT HOW DO THE GROWERS MAKE A LIVING IF THEY ONLY GET 5c PER PIECE. Hardly worth the effort or cost of growing them. Ripping off the farmers again.

I don’t think many, if any, of SDC regulars could even afford the prices that this memorabilia will go for. It is a shame to see it split up.

think he would need more than a pair of budgie smugglers, be more like blackbird smugglers. The mind boggles. Suzanne rose, you have a knack for making me laugh. I like reading your comments.

I agree, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer all the time. I am disappointed that the budget didn’t do anything to help people on Centrelink benefits at all, even though most of them are living well below the poverty line. It didn’t do anything for the homeless either. They seem to be...

I wonder who measured it, and if it has been compared to every other penis in Britain, or is he the only one who is willing to admit to it. I also wonder why he felt the need to go public about it, most people wouldn’t notice unless they were in a close relationship with him. Where boobs are...

Beer works well in a jar, margarine container or special bowl type traps you can buy from hardware shops. A big stomp with a gumboot works well too, especially for snails. For me, who hates the sound of scrunching snail shells under my boot I tend to drop a good sized rock on them. We have put...

Seems like it works, but I am sure every home or restaurant kitchen would have at least one funnel, usually multiple funnels available to use.

Totally agree with you. I’m sure the family would have been having a whinge if the surgery was done at Goulburn and then Alicia had to go into hospital again in Canberra to have the plastic surgery she needed. One hospital stay and surgery has got to be better than two hospital stays and two...

Now my secret is out, I have been using these products for at least four years and find they all do a wonderful job and are very inexpensive. I hope I don’t have trouble buying them now someone has decided to jump on the ten seconds of fame bandwagon and spruik off about them.

Not much we can do except pay up if we want to protect our possessions which we have worked long and hard for. with the increase in home invasions and break ins I for one don’t want to be uninsured. I’m waiting for the Emergency Services Levy to be taken off the cost of home and contents...

My first and only experience with menulog. A Maccas order, supposed to arrive in one hour fifteen minutes, really, Maccas is ten minutes away. Arrived over two hours later, delivered by Maccas delivery driver. Total wrong order. I phoned, they already knew, the other person must have phoned...

I applaud anyone who is brave enough to intervene in any type of attack on the general public. Too many times people “don’t want to get involved”. While it can be very dangerous and life threatening to get involved it seems more people are taking that chance. This hopefully will be sending a...
