Himself commented as I appropriated a shopping trolly from a woman about my age who was in the process of returning it: "You don't see young people returning shopping trolleys." Actually, I am amazed at the lengths people go to, just to avoid returning trolleys to the store. There are...

Good reason not to go to the venue, isn't it?

Sounds too good to be true - and it is. I'm not sure I can spend over $100 on a pillow. There are cheaper memory foam pillows on the market, I am sure.

Buy Australian made and you don't risk bringing overseas pests and parasites into the country. Better still, save waste - go back to using cloth nappies. Wash and reuse. Much better for the environment.

Deary, deary me. An Australian journalist didn't know the basic rule when interviewing Herr Wannabe Fuhrer Trump - praise his every movement, never question his probity, fawn on his greatness and goodness. The fact that Herr Wannabe Fuhrer is as corrupt as is possible, his actions may be...

I think the Palestinian "doctor" should be taken back to where she came from! How the hell did she get registration to practice in Australia?

Fat is EVIL, so for treats and flavours they added sugar. Problems with that:- - sugar doesn't give you long term satiation - you feel hungry not long after eating something high in sugar. Fat does give longer term satiation. - sugar is essentially addictive. Chocolates aren't the only...

Goodonya. Though sometimes I think nurses have a better idea of what's wrong with the patient than some doctors do! I have been seen by some seriously unconvincing doctors in my time.

Doctors - GPs - usually allow 10-15 minutes per patient for a normal consultation. The first 5 of which is greeting and getting the patient into the consultation room and seated. When you're old and slow and doddery like me, and the consultation room is at the end of a long corridor or...

had a lot fewer cars on the road, too - and they did not travel at the speeds of today. Car ownership was a luxury - now days people seem to see it as a right. Luxuries are better looked after. More and more licensed drivers of today seem to think road rules apply to other people...

I agree wholeheartedly. My attitude is that whatever is not declared but is found should encounter a fine - per item. So the people who try to bring in suitcases full of food get massive fines - and so many do try to bring in suitcases full of food, some of it is a definite quarantine...

Long, long ago I came back from an overseas holiday and ticked the box on the customs and quarantine card to say I had something to declare. A lesson learned - always tick that box, always have something to declare, and have it readily available. Something you can sacrifice, like the...

Really good idea: toll roads built and maintained by the government (federal, state or local) that would normally maintain such roads. Tolls therefore pay for the maintenance. The toll roads are (or should be) managed to maximise flow/minimise traffic disruptions. You pay for your...
