“What’s before you won’t go past you!” And; “There’s a lot to think about but nothing to worry about!” These sayings have helped me through my life on many occasions. It helps me to concentrate on the present and not be concerned about what the future may hold.

I am certainly against anyone who maliciously attacks any tree, shrub or bush; however the council needs to tend to the trees growing on council land. I live on a relatively quiet western Sydney street which has a primary school at the end of the road, so the stream of parents and kids heading...

How pathetically stupid!!!! We once lived in a suburb where local council ruled that all residents must only have colour-bond (metal) fencing. We flouted this stupid rule and erected a wooden fence. It turned out that council had no right to make such a ruling. This was many years ago, having...

All drivers should be made to undertake an advanced driving course before being entitled to their red Ps. This should include watching footage of the injuries accident victims suffer as a result of bad driving. All learners should also be forced to be taught by a professional driving instructor...

Why would someone name their child with the same name as a family members or friends pet. All I can say is, “sucked in stupid!” If you had of named your dog after the birth of the child I’d say fair cop, change it! She chose to name her child with the same name as your dog, now she can live...

Found it in about 10 seconds. (horrible bench top though!)

Admittedly, a barking dog can be a source of annoyance, but pounding on your neighbours door at 11:00 at night is far more annoying, unreasonable and borderline illegal. Look! Most dogs bark. That’s just what they do. I have 4 dogs, (Min Pins or Miniature Pincers.) A very intelligent breed but...

Revenue raising at its finest! Look! I get it, not looking at the road whilst driving is very dangerous, but can someone please explain to me what the difference is between holding your phone in your hand whilst driving and having a conversation with it is any different to holding your steering...

I agree that all pets should be contained inside the property as they can be a nuisance when allowed to roam the streets. However, can anyone please tell me how I am supposed to stop my dogs from barking? I have tried everything from vibrating/zap collars to citronella sprays, ultrasonic devices...
