    9 Classic Australian Books You Should Be Adding To Your Literary Bucket List

    “The Sun on The Stubble” by Colin Thiele (1961). An Aussie Classic written from a boy’s point of view, growing up in a German family in rural Australia, SA I think. It’s descriptive, evocative of earlier pre media times and outrageously funny at times. 😄

    Sperm donor kept mothers in the dark about an incurable genetic condition

    A very dodgy story. Sounds like a private arrangement with the women not being very selective about their choice of sire… He moves in with them? Hmm….

    Aussie scientist SLAMS almond milk, calls it "the worst" and "nothing but expensive water"

    And would be nutritionally superior as you probably leave most of the pulverised nut fragments in the resultant liquid. Probably use a higher percentage of nuts per litre than commercial manufacturers as well?

    5 ancient kitchen gadgets that would boggle the minds of today's youth

    But, but, but…. There still is an eggbeater, flour sifter, & meat grinder in my Mim’s kitchen here! No electricity , no batteries required, light weight ( not the meat grinder), take up very little space in the cupboard. Might be other “ handy self sustaining environmentally friendly tools “ in...

    Woolworths accused of being "too woke" on social media – do you agree or not?

    It’s more than a pity that gender equally has become confused with gender annihilation. There are differences between male & female ( whether born or identifying as one or the other, both physically & psychologically…. Not all founded in social shaping or upbringing), & the loss of recognition...

    Woman who drove for HOURS just to meet her date gets "blocked" the moment she arrives

    I think big changes have happened to on line meetings in last 15 years….. a music forum is a social site but not dating specific. Nice your daughter met a nice guy through a mutual love of music.🎼

    Woolworths accused of being "too woke" on social media – do you agree or not?

    Woolies; just use the word “ women”, some do, some don’t and people who have changed gender surgically/hormonally from male to female & don’t menstruate, or ID as transgender female, are all “ women”. No need to be so biologically specific in relation to tampons or other sanitary products...

    Woman who drove for HOURS just to meet her date gets "blocked" the moment she arrives

    Happens quite often, such is the need or desire to be loved. Equally or even worse is the domestic violence/coercive control these men can impose if met in person. 😡

    Woman who drove for HOURS just to meet her date gets "blocked" the moment she arrives

    I suggest : Do not drive to any “ on line guys” house nor allow him to drive to your address, keep that confidential until you have met in person at a neutral location , maybe more than once or twice even. There are a lot of “ players” out there. Crumbs, 20 years ago I met an Anerican girl who...

    Wife demands husband pays her $100K just to have a baby

    Maybe the wife really does NOT want to have a baby…. But if so, perhaps she is bringing to her husband’s attention that the financial cost ( which will compound down the years ) will impact her more than it will him. Yes he will support her & their household needs but will he pay into her...

    Woman’s air travel dilemma causes fierce debate online, social media users described it as “petty”

    Sometimes that person in front needs to recline the chair a little for comfort reasons or to sleep particularly at night. It’s thoughtless of the Airline to rack more seats into the cabin space not the pax who sits in front of you. Having said this, I have suffered badly in an overnight (6 hour...

    And you certainly are more conscious of how much you can spend and have spent, that’s for sure, particularly if you are on a tight budget or trying to save money for other things … like paying off your mortgage faster!
