Sorry if I offended you but yes, I have traveled extensively and I still say that the good ol' USA is one of the worst.

Australian air travel security is the best in the world. I experienced a ridiculous attempt at airport security in Las Vegas back in 2016 when trying to board a flight to Los Angeles. As it was then, we had to take off our shoes before boarding. We were all in the queue with hand luggage in one...

I say 'Well done, Australia Post'. It was about time one of our bigger institutions showed some backbone and tried out aomething new.

Never heard of Exetel until now, but judging by as they are a telco and listed on the stock exchange, I would say the fine is a drop in the ocean. How about getting a bit more serious with the penalty?

I agree with your comments. It wasn't so bad, it only took me four and a half years in private rental at $390 per week before my Department of Housing was commenced, so I do understand what you are saying. Keep the faith, your time will come.

Unfortunately, that is a regular issue with housing areas, but again, I am so lucky that all my neighbours (all six of them) are great and have no undesirable issues.

I think you will all hate me after this but here goes. I spent all my money whilst I worked. I had a great time, travelled, stayed in great places, ate well, clothed well but never had much left just before the next payday. I was either provided free company accomodation or rented my home.

Maybe we should all go naked, it's a very good climate. Perhaps throw on a few items in winter. Just watch out for your "assets" when getting into a hot car with leather seats.

RIP to the Grandfather of hard rock. Where would we musically be without him. God bless you and your black angels, Ozzy. May you rock to the end of eternity.

Very well said, I concur.

Just to throw my hat in the ring, I am diabetic so chocolate which I would absolutely love to eat is not a good idea other than 75% and over dark chocolate. Anybody want a contest? Lol.

I can only speak for the Wollongong, NSW area. A couple of years ago whilst walking my dog, we experienced a major unexpected rainstorm. I slipped on a concrete driveway, which caused me to twist my left foot, which had twisted to the left through 90 degrees, and which resulted in a double...

That must be here, in Australia.
