We don't eat out often because of our pension not stretching as far as it did. We have lunch out with our friends of more than 40 years once a month. Every restaurant we go to automatically provides a bottle or carafe of water, and glasses, as soon as we sit down. Mind you, we don't live in...

Look, I'm sorry, but where do you find a dog that 'snoozes at your feet'? Hubby and I have had many dogs in our lives, and they've all snoozed on our laps. Including the Labradors and the German Shepherd/Collie cross. At the moment, I'm in my recliner and our Miniature Poodle is asleep across...

One of the stumbling blocks in the way of returning these people to their country of origin, is that as soon as they embark, they throw their passports away and refuse to say where they come from. As someone who's been studying the problem for over 50 years - since the first middle eastern...

No words! All I can say is that crimes like this seem to be gaining traction and they're not being committed by people like the victim in this case. The fact that these vermin believe they have a right to behave like this sickens me, but, as the farmer in this case is an 'infidel', their holy...

And winning the next election.

I'm so sorry you had to go through that. I had the most wonderful childhood, with strict but loving parents. I always felt so sorry for kids I knew whose parents didn't show affection to them. I hope you've been able to form loving bonds in adulthood with a partner and/or children of your own. ♥️

I'd give anything to have my DIL think that way about me. We only have one child, a 47 year old son, who's been married for 17 years. His wife and I get on fine, but she just won't allow herself to get close to me. I'd always imagined going shopping together, or going out for coffee or lunch...

The GP visit is now a source of stress for us. We only go when absolutely necessary - I wouldn't go to our doctor when a minor scratch from our dog got a bit sore. I ignored it and ended up being taken by ambulance to hospital where I almost died of sepsis. The medical team actually asked me if...

It seemed everywhere we went, we came across him. I'm disabled and can't do stairs. Whenever we wanted to use the lift, LM was in it, just riding up and down. Looking back, we laugh about this now, but one night, we decided to go to the 10pm session of the movies, on the basis that it would...

Similar to the same Little Mongrel who was on a cruise we went on, about the same age. When we docked in Vila, the city band greeted us, dressed to the nines in their heavy European uniforms. Little Mongrel was travelling with his parents and grandparents. Grandad passed a remark about how good...

I'm sick to death of being the end user forced to pay for problems in the supply chain of basic foods. It wouldn't be so bad if I knew that the primary producer was getting the extra, but we all know that never happens. Do all the bodies in between take a hit? If they do, it would only be...

This is similar idiotic behaviour to the moron who threw hot coffee over the baby sitting with his mum in a park in, I think, Melbourne. What is wrong with people now? I know I'm old, but surely basic care for the welfare of others shouldn't be a preserve of the elderly. These kids are cowards...
