    In the middle of chaos, she had to choose between her friend and her family. What would YOU have done?

    I disagree with the apology idea. You were doing your best to keep his wife alive, and he couldn't even turn a dishwasher on without someone (you) holding his paw?

    In the middle of chaos, she had to choose between her friend and her family. What would YOU have done?

    If it was me I probably would have had a screaming fit, locked the useless git outside with his children, called for an ambulance and the police (saves time - the ambulance could take her away, the police could take me away, if only to be sure I wouldn't inflict serious bodily harm on the...

    Shopping centre parking blunder goes viral—and it's making everyone furious

    I have never been one to drive around and around looking for a car park near the entrance to wherever I am going. During the day, leaving the car in the shade is my preference: leaving the car in the sun ultimately damages the paintwork; I need as much exercise as I can get so it does me...

    Reusing medical equipment is good for the planet. But is it safe?

    We're on our way back to reusable nappies! Good thing, too. Most natural materials can be autoclaved - sterilised in by temperature and pressure, so there's infection control for you. In fact, simply washing something thoroughly gets rid of most germs.

    New retail trend challenges how shoppers value simple browsing

    You sound as if you'd be happy to go into a 'scumbag shop', even if you have to force your way in. And, if you're happy to force your way in, you'd be happy to help yourself to whatever you wanted. I am sure most shops are glad you don't visit. You're happy to consider gratuitous...

    New retail trend challenges how shoppers value simple browsing

    Most visitors are honest. The problem is the few that aren't. And a small business soon learns which 'regulars' are regular crooks or it goes broke easily. Regular crooks get banned or the business goes broke.

    They faced a 200% rent hike—so they sold everything and lived HERE instead

    Lines blur between human care and artificial understanding: 'Dangerous'

    Dr Google, Dr Bing - you apply to either, give them a list of your problems and you'll be convinced you have some dreadful, slowly fatal disorder that is extremely rare and hereditary. In fact, you're coming down with a common cold. Machines can't answer questions. The information you...

    $50 million question: What every senior needs to know before their numbers come up

    Maths. The ATO takes it's cut - still leaves $M17.5 so Centrelink and Pension can take a running jump. The ATO won't have finished with you, though - they'd still be demanding a percentage of any future income you might earn on your tidy little nest egg. So put it in a non-interest bearing...
