The uniform & photo ID are so that the many - pardon me for the language to follow - scumbags that rip off the generosity offered by others is not abused. And we ALL know that there are many of that ilk in our midst. Instead of ripping off organisations doing good for the community we should...

Love your humorous take on this!!!!

Lladnyl, May I ask you a question - does it really matter if it’s ‘another reprinted article’.? You don’t have to read it if you don’t want to. I for one have not seen or read this one before and, perhaps, there may be others who have not seen/read it as well.

What happened to the announcement “passengers are requested to keep their seatbelts fastened at all times while in their seats”?

These days it’s the mobile phone that is the biggest culprit, in my opinion. Seems it has become peoples ‘umbilical cord’ still attached. I have told my husband that he is not to pull me out of the way, in a shopping centre or anywhere else, when a person looking at his/her phone is coming...

That’s a shame about the key safe. Perhaps you could leave a contact number of a close relative with your local police to contact for entry or a trusted neighbour could keep a set of your house keys for urgent entry. I don’t know if your local ambulance centre would also keep a contact number...

Mistakes, as you put it, such as this are not mistakes at all. Yes mistakes do happen but if Qantas and the employee/s concerned with this investigation had fully read the reasons and medical certificates provided to them (more than one cert, mind you) together with their brains in full gear...

Absolutely correct David567. Too much violence on TV in movies, on the readily accessible internet and in games available for them to play. The internet can be a very good thing for everyone, but unfortunately is has a more bad than good influence on maturing minds of our teens (& our pre-teens)...

Parental responsibility required in the first instance. Regarding rentals - perhaps a law needs to be passed that the owner of a rental will be held responsible for all costs, including medical costs and loss of income, due to any injury from furniture that is not properly secured and causes...

Oh my. I hope the comment from member ‘Argee’ was not aimed at the SDC members who are only trying to do their best to bring us news and information, most of which is being reported in the wider press and copied on this site for us. If your last comment ‘Argee’ was directed at SDC staff, I hope...

That is a harsh statement from you. Some are radicalised but not all of them come from overseas, so don’t judge and say they need to be kicked out of Australia. I believe there needs to be more severe punishment handed down by our legal system instead of our judges saying ‘he’s/she’s only a...

My deepest sympathy to this couple and especially to the mum who was carrying a little one she now never gets to nurture and love. However, the government does not have a bottomless pit of money to come to our aid when ‘life gives us lemons’ as the saying goes. Like a number of you on this...

Congratulations to both of you. I hope you have a long and happy life together. Mine has also been a love story from the age of 14 when I was a mere schoolgirl (a boarder at that in a convent school!). He’s still the love of my life after almost 57 years of marriage. I wish you both a...

Have I missed it? I didn’t read anywhere that the man reached into his pocket to extract his wallet & the $50 bill while driving. My phone is always in my handbag, if it rings with my medicine alarm I just let it keep ringing or pull over, stop the car, turn off the engine AND remove the key...

Love all the tongue in cheek answers here. Keep the humour coming!!
