    Remember Mother and Son? One of its brightest stars (81) has said goodbye

    What a great show, the cast consisted on no more than about 4/5 actors, never all at the same time, with the very occasional 'celebrity appearance'. I think the only time I saw more than that was when 'mother and son(Gary Mc.) went to a funeral, they stopped at a roadside vegie stall and she...

    Animal attacks spark chaos in elite suburb, cafe diners urged to stay alert

    I had a recipe for cooking bush turkey and carp, it was told to me by an old bushy mate of mine.... step one, boil a large pot of water, then add 1 standard size brick and the meat of choice ie: turkey or carp, boil constantly until the brick softens, throw the turkey or carp away and eat the...

    Car Dilemma: Can this tiny gadget add a layer of security for older Aussie drivers?

    I would agree that new vehicles should be fitted with 'a recording device front/ rear or panoramic capabilities' to assist in taking/reducing the sometimes outlandish explanations I have had from drivers when they tried to explain what happened. A lot of accidents come down to 'I said/he said'...

    Reckless, dangerous and downright bizarre—new AI road cameras are catching it all

    Could not agree more Veggiepatch: during my 39yrs in 'the job' I spent a lot of time pulling critically injured and deceased persons from vehicles and road trauma mainly due to some self centred moron who wanted to do something illegal just because it was, in his attitude 'all about me me me'...

    Woolies shoppers stunned by outrageous chicken prices

    Some of the chooks I have seen in Woolies and Coles were smaller than the bantams I use to have as a kid. I have even seen pigeons bigger than what they offer.... and in passing do other customers open up the egg carton and check the eggs. I do and I have noticed that when I buy 700-900 grm...

    Risk of surprise $140 fine? Sneaky sign change catching drivers off guard

    Just to clarify Veggiepatch, they are NSW Police and they are doing random breath checks, just for everyone's info...

    Cost of living relief kicks in July 1: What Aussies can expect

    Well there is still a lot of the same rhetoric emerging that was evident before the election. Labor won because there was no viable alternative party to vote for. I have never voted for a minor party because they are made up of indecisive, self interest persons, only interested in 'pushing...

    Pigeon killer fined $48k, one of WA's largest animal cruelty fines

    Don't want them in gaol, then we have to pay for their up-keep out of the public purse, only works if they were put out in the public, in bright orange overalls, picking up rubbish along our roads and working in the nursing homes doing jobs. Public humiliation, with photos and the huge fines...

    Big banks spark outrage over changes that could quietly drain Aussie wallets

    I have yet to meet a person who will admit that they voted Albo back in.... I know that there was no viable alternate Party to run the country, so my vote, for the first time in my life went to a smaller party and independants. Did you know that Albo is stopping live lamb exports to the...

    Sunday Classics 01.06.2025

    Wonderful, Wonderful, Johnny Mathis.... had one of the softest, smoothest voices, the song also appeared on one of the series with Mulder and Scully....'The truth is out there.'

    I Talked the Missus Into It ⛺️

    Yep, it is real, I saw this on one of those 'Mega builds' type show a few years ago. That 'coach' retracts into it self, and lowers down and the rear moves forward, steps close up into the body, the top deck lowers down and the entire body when closed is only about two feet longer and a foot...

    ‘A substantial markup’: Why a top online store is facing court over customer charges

    I would like to see/hear about what happened to these parasites, what fines were imposed, charges laid, compensation ordered, I see a lot of these types of reports however, in print/ or news reports/or current affairs type programs, there seems to be a lack of interest in reporting what was done...

    Expat spots one Aussie product overseas! Is this the start of a global shift?

    Sorry to correct a few people... Albo is stopping the export of live sheep to the Middle East, live beef exports to Indonesia were stopped a few years back due to animal protectors protesting the method of killing the animals, in the name of religious requirements however, they were resumed...

    RECENT COFFEE STUDY...

    Great one mOiOz, I think we will become 'Trumps next State', if Albo is slow in adding the 'Red Flag' to the group which now hangs behind him.. I have two sons currently serving with the ADF, one has been on a Course along with other ADF members, some from the Navy included. They were having a...

    Attention travellers: Discover the shocking post-attack duties that await if you ignore this crocodile warning!

    Tourist operators add to the problem when they take visitors out in their boats and entice the crocs to come out with chicken pieces being thrown into the water or 'dangled on poles' so the crock can jump up for a photo shot..It is the same with the sharks, tourists get into a cage and fish...
