    Fan-favourite treat discontinuation stirs nostalgia and frustration

    Many, many, many years ago, Allens used to make decent products. Mixed lollies were the bomb and we all dug through the bag for our favourite. The little false teeth were great fun. Now, I don't buy any Allens product because visitors even say no thanks. Allens lollies are like chewing a...

    Former NBA star ignites controversy with bold remarks on weather predictions

    This bloke must have been affected by all those years of bouncing his ball around on a wooden floor for all those years. It has to affect rational thought.

    Telco network announces massive update about their services. Here's what could change

    I just renewed my prepaid 12 month phone plan for $150 through Kogan. Bought my nice little unlocked Samsung android through them for a really good price as well. Basic calls and texts ... no links overseas ... no problem. 4 Gigs per month. Enough for me as I use mobile internet sparingly...

    'Carry on if you want a show': Woman catches husband in an intense moment of betrayal!

    Here are my thoughts. They have been married 17 years. 4 kids says they know how to make them together. So, why go looking for more. He is a right idiot. I can understand the rage ... but the filming and the kids being nearby ... no. Social media might give a few moments of sweet revenge, but...

    Flight attendant's controversial trick is stirring up passengers onboard. Why?

    Well, it depends on the song. I like nothing more than a good bit of knee slapping fiddle music. However, if I am feeling sombre, a little light classic refrain to calm the nerves is also appreciated. Let the critics go back to their little tiny screens and ear buds whilst those who appreciate...

    'He was a beacon of hope': Entertainment (76) and advocacy (70) worlds mourn the loss of two icons

    I am always amazed at people who put aside their own suffering to find a way to help others. This awful disease caused a lot of drama in its day. I remember the haters and nay sayers making horrific noise out of sheer ignorance. It was not good. Bless David Polson for his selfless endeavours.

    Tech Talk with Dr Al: Navigating Through New Technology

    Good article and I don't feel bad about venting my frustrations as they emerge, when they emerge. A few years ago, I thought, stop bitching about what you don't know, do something about it. So I went to a tafe course and got the creative juices flowing by doing a photoshop course. It was good...

    Who's winning the supermarket price war? Shopper crowns unexpected winner

    I used to live across the road from an Aldi. So close I could walk the trolley to my front door, unpack at home and wheel the trolley back. I had the opportunity to scrutinise their produce quite closely at the time. Their fruit and veg were sub-standard to say the least, and, not much cheaper...

    Car park photo sparks heated debate over little-known road rule: 'They look dangerous'

    Some parking lots have signs that say reverse parking only. There are a couple of suburbs near my town that have that. Problem is, if you have a mobility aid, or pram, or a big load to put in the boot, you would not want to reverse park. Well...I wouldn't.

    Car park photo sparks heated debate over little-known road rule: 'They look dangerous'

    I have a camera. It shows the rear view, and at a certain point I can ask for overhead view to check clearance all around the car. The camera mentioned just looks at the back, but, you can watch while you are driving, via the viewing screen set somewhere in the dashboard.

    73-year-old caught driving despite 92-year ban—how does this keep happening?

    Yep. Into the crusher as they do in the USA. I'd reckon that would be fairly effective, especially when they make the owner watch.

    ‘Dogs can’t read!’: Residents baffled by bizarre council sign

    I have two pups. Both 1 year old. Bonnie & Clyde is what they have been named and they live up to their namesakes' notoriety. Bless their little fluffy paws. The only noise they ever make is when they are saying hello to the local possum when it walks along the back fence. Have to be polite...

    If you don't have the means for a wedding of your DREAMS, that means either cut down on your expectations, or, postpone the wedding while you save, Friends are not responsible for making Bridezilla's dreams come true. If I was in this position, I would confront the blushing bride and start a...
