    You shouldn’t have to move 1,200km just to get healthcare…but this older Aussie did

    Veggie you surprise me. I know how time changes so many things including doctor behaviour. When I came to Blundaberg over 30 years ago there was no problem getting a doctor especially an English speaking one. You've been away from here for quite a while my friend and you wouldn't believe that...

    You shouldn’t have to move 1,200km just to get healthcare…but this older Aussie did

    welcome to Queensland. I'm in Bundaberg and my beloved doctor of 25 years, plus my renal specialist of 14 years retired over 5 years ago. Since then I have tried 8 different doctors and got nowhere. In the last couple of weeks I have tried a doctor from Sth Africa and one from India. This town...

    Thunder Box

    oh the memories... firstly our loo was hard up against the back fence. Over the fence was a cemetery in which Dobson's cows roamed and scratched themselves against the fence. Not a good sound in the dark but what was worse were the men who raided the lead in the lettering on the headstones and...

    Joke I'm an electrician

    for consideration: before we work on Artificial Intelligence Why don't we do something about NATURAL STUPIDITY. I know this isn't in line with these great jokes but just looking for somewhere to put this that I found this morning. Surely makes sense.

    Ask the Leyland Brothers

    what beautiful memories. I only saw half of their faces before my brain was singing "up the Leyland Brothers". We didn't know we got the words wrong but we loved their shows and the places they took us. Wish tv stations would let us see those stories again instead of the rubbish we get now.

    Thousands of Australians are receiving ECT without consent every year

    I understand you so well Veggie and am disgusted that this barbaric treatment is still going on. I know of it being used back in the very early 60s... not on me thankfully, but on people around me and I remember so well the ZOMBIE state they ended up in. I remember their pain and confusion for...

    TV Time Machine: The Aussie Shows That Shaped a Generation

    Simon was as natural as you saw on tv. He was lovely person who lived just up the road from me when we were growing up. Simon and his dog were almost inseparable except when we had to get on the school bus.
